Another DC disappointment but then again, besides Wonder Woman, it's the only kind of movie they make. I felt like I was watching an episode of Power Rangers which I never watched even as a child because it was so ridiculous. The difference is, Power Rangers didn't take themselves seriously. I don't think DC means to have terrible effects (particularly the 7 deadly sins) and writing. I know this is a kid's but that's exactly what it is. There's very little subtle, snappy humor that will keep adults entertained. Between terrible acting (save Zachary Levi), terrible script and terrible effects, it's just a cheap Nickelodeon-like superhero take on Tom Hank's "Big".
