Unlike the darker movies DC used to make ; this brings a refreshing change. Though not a great one I must point out. First few minutes of the film promised us of an emotional impact but sadly that angle never made a mark. As for the performances go, everyone pretty much acted well. Specifically Adult Billy (Zachary Levi) and Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer). Their on screen chemistry looked solid and gave us some hilarious moments as well. Mark Strong as the super villain looked decent and had some backstory too. But I must say that same kind of backstory should have been added for the other characters as well. I couldn't really relate to all of them in the way I intended to. Coming from directing horror genre to this light hearted superhero flick, I adore what Mr. Sandberg did here but unfortunately it's not that caliber of a film to remember for a very long period of time. It will just be a sidekick to the DC universe rather than a integral part.
