The Titans (Teen and otherwise) have gotten short shrift by the live-action movie division of Warner Brothers' DCEU.
Well, other than the fact they stole Cyborg from the Titans and shoved him into the Justice League, where he doesn't fit. Quite frankly, Victor Stone needs Changling (er, Beast Boy) and Nightwing (uh, Robin) to play off of.
The short shrift doesn't apply to television. A new live-action TV series is in the works. There's a credits tease at the end of Teen Titans GO! to the Movies that could apply to the new series using the 2003 animated version of the team.

PROS
1) Just the right amount of potty jokes!
2) Lambasting both DC and Marvel beyond the Deadpool/Deathstroke jokes in the trailers.
3) The John Stewart GL! (Who disavows Ryan Reynolds)
4) Ripping on Back to the Future.
5) The need to watch it again to catch all the jokes.
6) The gratuitous cameo of a certain comic book writer.
CONS
1) Wishing I was ten again, so people don't look at me weirdly when I'm laughing hysterically at the fart jokes.
Overall, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies earned 10 stars out of 10 for sheer, unadultered 12-year-old boy appeal!
Thinking of the Start of the New Year…
