TDKPH rating 3 out of 5
Synopsis:
It's Halloween and the Joker (voice of Troy Baker)is on the loose. What will the clown prince of crime do? Go trick or treating? No, instead he launches his latest campaign of terror. With the help of monstrous villains such as Silver Banshee (voice of Kari Wuhrer), Solomon Grundy (voice of Fred Tatasciore), Scarecrow (voice of Brian T. Delaney), and Clayface (voice of Dave B. Mitchell), the Joker turns all of the city's technology against its citizens and declares himself supreme ruler. Thankfully, Batman (voice of Roger Craig Smith) together with Nightwing (voice of Will Friedle), Red Robin (voice of Yuri Lowenthal), and Green Arrow (voice of Chris Diamantopoulos)are there to give the Joker and his gang their brand of treat...JUSTICE.
Monster Mayhem is a fun toy inspired movie that is intentionally made for kids and parent's wallets. Adult watchers may find themselves bored with the formulaic treatment of bad guy teaming up with other bad guys to defeat a group of good guys. This is a pretty straight forward movie. You will not find yourself thinking about the deep gravity of emotions between Joker and Batman or Batman and Robin.
What set this apart from other movies are the insane situations. Batman riding Grimlock?!!! Basically a computer generated dinosaur but that scene alone made me an instant fan. There are many scenes with outragous vehicles it almost make me want to buy the toyline. Voice acting is very good, with veteran actors lending their voice on an otherwise crazy plot.
I recommend that you watch it with your kids. As an adult, watch it while doing something else, so you can just look up now and then. Wait for the dinosaur scene.
