The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

Powerful

Nice effects though.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

As someone who's childhood was quite literally LEGOs, I knew going in that I would laugh and say "cute" to this movie. No way did I expect it to be this good though.This film isn't just a kids movie about realizing how important your friends are to your life, it's also somehow the best character study into Batman. This film really puts the dark knight under a microscope and brings a whole new meaning to the way he's acted in every film since the Tim Burton Batmans.Voice performances were great, as expected. Will Arnett was hilariously gruff, as needed. Michael Cera continues to show Hollywood his childish side and shines. Ralph Fiennes and Rosario Dawson definitely earned their parts. Zach G obviously can't live up to Mark Hamill, but plays the Joker decently.The LEGO Gotham world is beautifully constructed and animated, and keeps tradition with the previous all-awesome LEGO movie by keeping some things in-universe. Props to Chris McKay.It's something young and old fans alike will enjoy, 9/10.

How many time can you watch a film and laugh at the same moments? In this case the answer is infinite. My kids love this film and every time they put it on I end up watching it and crying laughing. Batman is the star of the show his character is hilarious and the voice over is spot on. This movie is a tonic for anyone with even a limited sense of humour.

If I hadn't seen The LEGO Movie before this, I probably would've had much lower expectations. My expectations were also still a bit low due to this being a DC movie, but I was still looking forward to seeing this. I saw this movie in theaters, and I had a lot of fun. Plot - This movie is silly and simplistic. There are a few really dumb plot deceives, but most of it is pretty solid. Overall, this movie is very funny and enjoyable. I heard someone call this movie "the PG DC version of Deadpool." I wouldn't really say that its on the level of Deadpool, but a lot of the humor is similar (minus the violence).Characters - The voice acting in this movie is fantastic. The characters are all funny and interesting. The character arcs are well-executed. All the performances are great. Animation - The animation is awesome. Overall, this is a very interesting movie. I'd recommend watching this. Yes, this is a toy commercial, but its a very entertaining commercial.

Lego Batman movie.Probably the biggest joke of all regarding Batman is that it has taken a spoof animation to give us a good movie. Not since Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy has the man in the black cowl delivered. Batman Vs Superman was very average until the Ultimate edition elevated it slightly to pretty good and The Justice Leagues best bits are most likely left on the cutting room floor. However Lego Batman is a hoot right from the opening credits. The film makers even manage to inject a little comedy into the opening logos. Yes this is predominantly a kids film but there's so much more depth to the comedy here that is wasted on the very young. If you're a fan of the Batman universe then you'll need to watch this a dozen times to catch all the jokes that reference Batman's cinematic past. Like the Lego movie that went before it, this movie is a colourful fast paced fun ride that will wash over you leaving you feeling much better inside for watching it. I really can't be negative about this movie. If it isn't your cup of tea then don't watch it. Don't watch a movie you know you won't enjoy and then bitch about it later. This movie deserves no negativity when the film makers have strived to deliver not just a good movie but a great Batman movie.
