I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I remember Saturday mornings when I was little at home with mom lying in bed I would always watch Saturday morning cartoons and this one "Super Friends" was one of my favorites as my imagination and life was thrilled with "Batman and Robin". And I loved seeing these characters on screen as the animation was so bright and in color with each episode as watching theses episodes became my escape from reality as a little boy! The greatest heroes from D.C.'s comic world were featured my favorite was the duo tag team of "Batman and Robin" and along for the journey and action ride was "Superman", "Wonder Woman", and even "Aquaman" plus the little "Wonder Twins" were a treat. As the bad guys they faced were "The Riddler" and "Mr. Mxyzptlk", "Bizarro" and others. Even many episodes were stories of the super heroes facing aliens and robots, and even campy ones where they faced "Bigfoot" and "The Loch Ness Monster". Overall good kids series that entertained when I was little as it was my entertainment and imagination escape.

As cheesy, goofy and as predictable as every Super Friends episode is it has a special feel to it. The classic sound effects and animation along with a basic fun story to it is what makes this show great. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are mostly the focus of the shows and the rest are sidekicks, a lot of the sidekick heroes i haven't even really heard of. The show featured a lot of villains from the DC Universe, it was cool seeing Batman face of against Lex Luther and Superman face off against The Riddler. The Legion of Doom is the Super Friends enemies it's always exciting seeing them face each other. Of course if this show started at this day and age it would be a huge failure because people are looking for to much these days.There is just something about 60's and 70's cartoons that makes them excellent.Super Friends 9/10

I may have seen this on Saturday morning, but probably was too young to remember. I was already aware of this version because of a coloring book I had with Wendy and Marvin in it. My greatest memories of this series was coming home after school and watching it in syndication weekday afternoons from 1981-1985 on the network that would become Fox in the mid to late 80's. At that time, they aired on Thursday and Friday afternoons as 2 parters. It wasn't until Cartoon Network that I saw them in their original hour format.If you love the SuperFriends and you want to show your kids this show, then heed my advice. This may be the first series, but do not show them this version first. Otherwise, it will bore your kids to tears. I would start them off with either the Legion of Doom or the Wonder Twins. Get them comfortable with the heroes first before showing them this series.SuperFriends of 1973 is the tamest most non violent version in existence. If you want to blame someone for the lack of action and lack of good comic book villains, then blame the Broadcast Standards and Practices for all the restrictions this show really had. That was due to parent groups complaining about the 60's Super Hero cartoons being so violent. This series was at least a good follow up to the classic Superman, Aquaman, and Batman cartoons by Filmation of the 60's. Especially since Ted Knight narrates this series and the voices of Batman and Robin from the Filmation show (Olan Soule and Casey Kasem) were aboard for the decade long ride. While I liked Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog as a kid, I really hate them now, especially the pooch. Hanna Barbera was really trying to cash in on the phenomenon created by Scooby Doo. The 70's was a decade where HB did lots of cartoons with a group of teens and a mascot of some kind. The SuperFriends were not immune. Wendy is a crossover of Velma (for being a brainy student) and Daphne (for exclaiming Jeepers! all the time). Marvin was a cross between Fred (Frank Welker as the voice over) and Shaggy (tall and lanky). Wendy was annoying as the teachers pet who was always talking down to Marvin. (not that Marvin didn't have it coming at times). Marvin was even more annoying . A teenager with a towel sewed on his shirt with aspirations of being Superman or should I say "Super Marv". Although he did show his smarts now and then, Marvin came across as an idiot. And as for Wonder Dog. I felt he was the worst of the lot. A bad carbon copy of Scooby Doo, only he didn't talk, he did charades and acted like a human at times. These three are unbearable to watch and they were totally useless. Just as useless as the misguided villains, most of whom proved to be good hearted or had good intentions. Like Anthro, from the pilot episode "The Power Pirate, or Colbar from Too Hot to Handle. And others like Profesor Baffles, Dr. Pelagian, Dr. Rebos, and the list goes on. The only thing we had even close to a real villain was Raven in "Menace of the White Dwarf". Other than that, the only other costumed villain was King Plasto in the "Fantastic Frerps".The heroes are actually the reason to watch this show. Danny Dark, Olan Soule, Casey Kasem, Shannon Farnon, and Norman Alden were superbly cast as Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman. Superman and Wonder Woman were good and powerful. Batman and Robin usually get a bad rap for all their Bat gadgets and no fist fights. Well, in this series, their devices are few, basic, and simple, and the Batmobile is their main mode of transportation. And Aquaman usually gets a bad rap for being useless and out of water a lot. Well, in this series, Aquaman is in the water quite a bit. The last episode, "The Watermen " is an underwater story. This series gave us a couple of treats. We see Plastic Man make a cameo in the Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C. and we see guest starring roles for the Flash in "Too Hot To Handle" and Green Arrow in his one and only appearance in "Gulliver's Gigantic Goof". Plus, this series is the only one with a recurring character in the form of Colonel Wilcox, the military official who contacts the SuperFriends in time of trouble.All in all, the original SuperFriends is mostly about brain power over brute strength, moral lessons, ethics, ecological issues and anti pollution messages. The best action you'll see the heroes in is when they use their abilities to rescue people. Most of the villains learn their lessons before episode's end. SuperFriends is a lackluster start to a long running series that does promise to get better. If anything, the theme of this series is well worth watching. But like I said, before exposing your kids to Wendy and Marvin, start them off with one or more of the other more exciting versions. This series was okay, but could have been much better.

I pretty much grew up reading the comic books that D.C. published in the 70's and 80's, so as a seven year old I was excited to hear that a new cartoon with all the great heroes that I loved was coming out. Imaging my shock when this turned out to be a wimpy piece of garbage that had our super heroes imparting valuable life lessons to the two annoying brats that they were saddled with, Wendy and Marvin, and their flea-bitten mutt, Wonder Dog.Too bad this came out after several parents watchdog groups eliminated what they perceived as violent content from all children's programming. If I want to get valuable life lessons I will look at either the children's shows on P.B.S. or at another show that came out around the same time, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. At least that one was entertaining.
