[I]t's not just superhero fatigue that makes this feature feel generic and cheap - lively enough to keep young kids occupied, but preferably while parents are doing something more interesting in the next room.

It is hard not to like a film that takes the mickey out of superhero movies.

Henchmen is a perfectly average animated film that isn't able to stand out in an overcrowded market.

Not so much bad as it is generic, the movie does boast an outstanding voice cast. There are definitely laughs to be had, but the interesting premise is largely ignored.

"Outside of stellar voice-work by an impressive cast, there's little to recommend Henchmen, which feels like its script was a few drafts short of being ready to commit to film.

Overall, while Henchmen introduces a fun concept and a pleasing world of supervillains, I sadly found myself disengaged for the vast majority of this animated feature. The opening is promising, and the film includes some classic musical tracks, but once the plot gets underway, things fall downhill quite rapidly. Granted, younger cinemagoers will enjoy superhero themes, random jokes, slapstick humour, and fluff and burp gags. With such a wonderful line-up of voice actors, I hoped for something far greater than what ultimately felt dull in aspects of its visuals and main storyline.

Although the idea was there, and the animation style was actually pretty great and enjoyable, it's drowned down by a bland and generic script.

It's a fun movie to watch with your kids. It isn't going to win any oscars but it serves it purpose as an entertaining kids film.

It looks and feels like a mockbuster of Megamind that was a decade too late for anything to have any impact.
