Notes

I was really disappointed in this movie. First the villains aren't really villainous. They appear that way at the beginning but then immediately gain a heart for no apparent reason other than a boy was nice to her? She's supposed to be 6,000 years old and yet she becomes infatuated with a 17-year-old? Also the whole back and forth of not knowing what to do / be as super heroes is weird to me. They're in the time period of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, etc... and they don't have enough news articles to figure out how to be a superhero? The jokes were mostly funny, and the fights were fine. I was disappointed that they made Pedro gay. Maybe he was in the first movie? But that seemed like a lame throw in just to get it in there. Overall, meh.
