I have to admit that walking into the theater to see this movie i really felt like I was not sure what to expect from it cause I didn't really like the LEGO movie that much but however all my worries about the movie were put to rest I laughedI have to admit that walking into the theater to see this movie i really felt like I was not sure what to expect from it cause I didn't really like the LEGO movie that much but however all my worries about the movie were put to rest I laughed out loud at least twice during the movie yes BATMAN is a little cocky at first but he learned a good lesson in having friends and family and the importance of team work and the matter that you don't have to be related to the people to consider them family… Expand

Granted, I liked it less than "The Lego Movie" but I knew that would happen so I didn't hold that against the film. The animation was stunning, It was so fluent and colorful. The film was also very funny, It poked fun at not just Batman, but Superhero tropes and pop culture in general, I felt like this would be considered "Deadpool" for kids. The voice acting and cast were awesome, they worked so well off each other. My only flaw I could find with it was it wasn't as emotionally powerful as "The Lego Movie" not to say that the emotional moments were bad, just not as well done as "The Lego Movie". In the end "The Lego Batman Movie" gets A childhood memory that aged well/10. It was meant for kids and it's colorful but It can also be enjoyed by Adults and even inspire a few laughs.… Expand

What's it like?: Batman is imperious in his defeat of his enemies, including The Joker, but he does have one big weakness - his individualism - and The Joker exploit this in his plan to destroy Gotham.
>
Pros:
>
1. The film tackles one aspect of the Batman story that has not been looked into in all of the past Batman films in a significant way. It is his individualism and his arrogance. Doing so makes this film very fresh and original. Even the trailers are very interesting!
>
2. Taking a page from Deadpool, the jokes start at the very beginning. No! Even earlier than that! Even before the Warner Bros. logo is revealed! Now that shows great effort! The jokes continue until the very end, with the final song that is similar in tone to the Everything is Awesome song from The Lego Movie. There is no mid- or post-credit scene though.
>
3. There are numerous jokes on Batman, Batman's incarnations in all the previous films and TV series, Bruce Wayne, Robin, Alfred, The Joker, Superman, The Justice League, The Phanthom Zone, The Wayne Mansion, The Batcave, etc., that harks back to what we knew of them already, yet opens up new possibilities into the characters and props. >
4. I prefer this film over The Lego Movie. I think that the animation here has fewer distracting flashing lights, there are more jokes, and there isn't the live action part at the end of The Lego Movie that slows that film down.

Cons: No significant cons.

How would the different age groups rate it?

Teenagers: Excellent
Young adults: Excellent
Medium age adults: Excellent
Old adults: Good.

After the surprise that was "The Lego Movie", which was my favorite animated movie of 2014. So of course I was looking forward to this. When the team behind "Morel Orel" is directing your movie, it's going to be special. Now while I liked "The Lego Movie" a little more due to the writing and it's clever hidden message, but still.

"The Lego Batman Movie" is the best Batman movie since "The Dark Knight" and that's saying a lot. With it's bright warm colors, fast peace, and some many pop culture references for its humor. There was even a Pulp Fiction reference that I'm not sure many picked up on. It's a movie for both kids and adults. All of the Lego movies have two things in common which is heart and team work. It's really smart and goes as far from being just a kids movie.

Heck, I almost teared up at point. That's right folks, I nearly cried during a movie staring Lego's. Wow.

Will Arnett as Batman might be my third favorite portrayal of the Caped Crusader. Just the voice, emotion swings, and his cocky attitude is basically Batman in a nutshell. While a funnier version, but also an interesting and compelling one. By focusing on family and the loneliness of Batman. The movie itself makes fun of Batman's history with Adam West and Schumacher movies, but also being somewhat respectful as well.

And who would've thought Zach Galifianakis was going to be a solid Joker. Galifianakis was having a blast with this, but also putting his own take on the character as well. The Jokers evil plans in the movie are so absurd and silly that somehow fits. It's perfect for the relationship between him and Batman. Making it a anti-romantic spoof.

All of the other cast all did a fantastic job. Michael Cera was great as Robin and had excellent chemistry with Will Arnett. Rosario Dawson was pretty good as Batgirl / Barbara Gordon. And Ralph Fiennes as Alfred was spot on, but kind of a wasted opportunity that he didn't reprise his role of Voldemort by voicing him, because Voldemort is in the movie. Oh well.

The animation is both really stunning and gorgeous. It's impressive that they once again made it look like it's stop motion animation with the power of CG. You can see the little details that you won't catch on your first watch. The finger prints that are clearly seen on the characters and the movement you would see in stop motion. I'm just be glad it's not the cheap looking direct-to-video animation that every movie starring Lego has been doing.

My only issue with "Lego Batman Movie" is the pacing. As I said before, there are some many pop culture references and all of them are funny, but the film goes by so quick it's easy to miss them. It doesn't give you much time to breath. So while your laughing at the joke, it will then make two or three more jokes. I literally wanted to say to the movie "Please, slow down a bit". But I can see this easily been fixed by re-watching it, which may help.

Overall rating: Everything Is Batman!… Expand

Fast paced, frenetic, and kinetic, The Lego Batman Movie is another piece of product placement for Lego, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Pennysaver, that works incredibly well. Though fast paced, it never annoys, while providing bright colors and funFast paced, frenetic, and kinetic, The Lego Batman Movie is another piece of product placement for Lego, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Pennysaver, that works incredibly well. Though fast paced, it never annoys, while providing bright colors and fun sequences for the target child audience. But, in this spate of incredible energy, The Lego Batman Movie touches on important themes of teamwork, togetherness, and family, that should have a profound impact on children. For adults, the dirtier jokes and the constant fan service with Batman, and the critique of DC films ("brooding" as a Batman trait, mocking the premise of Suicide Squad) will more than provide enough entertainment. Above all, however, the film truly strikes a sweet spot from being self-referential and corny without slipping into becoming annoying a la last year's Deadpool. This is a self-aware superhero satire done right with funny jokes, good action, and tremendous animation.

With Will Arnett anchoring the film with a hysterically selfish and narcissistic take on Batman, Arnett finds some great pieces to the character when he is not just spitting punch lines. Though the punch lines work, the film would tire quickly if it were just a barrage of jokes. Rather, via Batman, the film finds a heart akin to a Pixar film. Lonely and caught in a constant spiral of self-loathing that culminates with a new Batman film being released, the character lives a life of solitude. At times vulnerable, but always lashing out as a result of his inner anger, Arnett does well to play a man who is self-aware. He knows he is alone, but his vanity and pride do not allow him to admit it out loud. His obsession over his abs is vain, yes, but also heavily compensating for how inadequate of a person he feels like without a family to call his own. Though Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) is there for him, he is so blind for self-hatred, this point is lost on him. As a side bar, Fiennes is a brilliant selection for Alfred and does tremendously in the role.

Though the film explains its themes of loneliness, family, and teamwork with no subtlety, it never feels preachy because it is a kids movie. Though the parents get it, the kids do need Ellie Kemper's Phyllis, guardian of the Phantom Zone, the explain to us what makes people good or bad and how people can change. On-the-nose, the film never suffers or feels hokey, rather it is a good time for the adults to calm down and relax from the frenetic pace of the film.

The frenetic pace of the film is not a constant though. Some of the best scenes in the film are ones highlighting Batman's loneliness. An extended shot that has to be somewhere near a minute long or more (a lifetime in this film) of Batman just sitting in his indoor pool eating lobster is absolutely hysterical. Him warming up the lobster and getting his mail also hits comedy highs for its critique of the mundanity of life. It highlights just how plain his life is, but makes him so relatable to the audience and shows that, no matter who you are, the Pennysaver winds up in the mailbox and you always hit the wrong numbers on the microwave the first time. The simple comedy of this film is a pleasure to watch unfold and, though not revolutionary, it is incredible fun and really works in the film with great comedic delivery and director Chris McKay willing to take his time with jokes.

That said, the film's most fervent energy comes into the form of constant references. A who's who of properties that Warner Bros or Lego have their hands in with villains coming left, right, and center, from the 80s, 90s, and 00s, the film is a nerd's dream. Much of the hilarity comes the sheer number of villains introduced - both from Batman's world and others - as well as those that are not real, but included anyways as a punchline. Again, very simple humor, but it is great service to the adults in the crowd who will get the references and enjoy seeing them portrayed in this format.

Plot-wise, the film is in service of its themes. Naturally, one must fail on their own to realize they need help. Yet, the film's interesting action in Arkham Asylum and the city of Gotham, as well as an interesting take on the "end the world" desire of villains of all kinds, the film finds great entertainment from its storyline. It may not be revolutionary, but director Chris McKay does a great job capturing the action and finding innovative ways to utilize the use of legos in the battle and in the aftermath of action sequences (fire). Interestingly, the film also shows the need for evil as the presence of evil ensures the rise of good to overcome evil. In this way, the character of the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) is used incredibly well and his actions in regards to the plot work incredibly well with this recurring theme.

Featuring a stellar voice cast, The Lego Batman Movie is a terrifically animated affair that is pure energy.… Expand

In addition, the film brilliantly pokes fun at itself and the overall character of Batman almost non-stop... and it's surprisingly hilarious often times as a result! Overall, much like its titular character, it might not be quite as original or ambitious as "The Lego Movie", but it does do a near-perfect job of taking a character almost everyone knows and loves and giving him his most colorful, fun, and downright wildest movie yet, which was certainly enough to satisfy me, as I'm sure it will satisfy many other fans as well.… Expand

It gets so many things right like the humor, action,Probably the best Batman movie. It is at the same time a charming love-letter, (valid) criticism, bits of a parody, a psychological study of Batman and an awesome hero’s journey story. It gets so many things right like the humor, action, characters, story and themes. Story: It starts like a standard Batman story. The Joker is threatening to destroy Gotham City and Batman is trying to stop him. However the usual hero / villain banter ends with Batman saying that the Joker means nothing to him which breaks the Joker and will have huge consequences as this motivates him to go up to eleven (if not twelve but not in the way you will predict as this is not a high PG rated movie). Meanwhile Bruce Waynes life outside his hero persona is a bit empty and this will change too. With this set up the story starts. The story is immensely creative and has deep insights into Batman, Bruce Wayne, the lore, characters and legacy. You can watch this as fan and be entertained and amazed by the effort put into it as much as casual viewer. The ideas and twists were truly great and the climax is truly a highlight of the movie. They nail the character of Batman including the contradictory facets. For example he is without doubt the world greatest detective and an awesome superhero but answer me this: What has he archived in Gotham City in the long run? Has crime disappeared? Are there fewer super-villains? Is Gotham City safer? Is there even a significant drop in crime rates? Batman is excellent in catching criminals but awful in changing the situation (I am a Batman fan by the way before you ask). There is even the discussion among fans if Batman created his villains and make the situation (far) worse which is also the question in one of the best episodes in the legendary Batman the Animated Series named “Trial” which I recommend by the way (Episode and show). Back to the movie and lets continue with the characters. Without good characters the movie would not be half as good. Luckily we got a strong performance. The script and voice actors create an immersive and enjoyable experience. I praise the whole cast, the writer and director. Like Lego only your creativity is the limit;-). They use also the full potential of the villains rooster (Hint: I did not miss a word here before “villain rooster”). Then there is the hero's journey / character development. Truly great and the ideas alone are praiseworthy. The characters develop a lot and at the end it is a more than satisfying conclusion. The story and characters enhance each other. Presentation: Like the Lego movie it has the unique style that looks amazing. They nailed the Lego look and still manage to give the characters enough expression to make it work well. It looks so good that you want to rebuild scenes from the movie with your Lego sets. Sidenote: Even adults enjoy Lego but many will never admit it. The excellent voice actors and soundtrack complete the very good presentation. Overall I was amazed by the ideas and creativity of the story. It is like I said as good for fans and casual viewers. I think this is for many including me the best Batman movie which was a surprise as I did not expect this. I fully recommend it and say we need more creativity like this in movies.… Expand

DC Extended Universe & Batman's Highly-Polished Ascension.

The Bat-Man/Bruce Wayne—created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, DC Comics member, and regular sentinel of Gotham City—, the esoteric nocturnal hero and philanthropist multimillionaire,DC Extended Universe & Batman's Highly-Polished Ascension.

The Bat-Man/Bruce Wayne—created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, DC Comics member, and regular sentinel of Gotham City—, the esoteric nocturnal hero and philanthropist multimillionaire, has appropriated immeasurable designs, natures, dimensions and idiosyncrasies, from his roots in «The Case of the Chemical Syndicate» of Detective Comics #27 (1939) to his neo-appearance in Batman V Superman.Despite his initial salutations to the small or big screen were not entirely effective, his eruptive pinnacle ran from the pencil and the paper, comics which years later serve as required look for any tiny brilliant mind that longs to represent in a celluloid to the bleak superman without superpowers.Finite have been those who have portrayed his being truthfully, some with more artistic fate than others, with the general objective that the dark knight is globally singled out by his impenetrably complex and individualist moral, a man darkly martyred as a result of a fateful infancy.Nevertheless, LEGO, Danish line of plastic construction toys, which ventured into the cinematic market a few years ago, elaborated a subversive and radically antithetical transformation of that guy from Gotham contused of pompous manner; its version is critically fun, erratic and empathic, causing a partially unused aspect in the world of superhero movies. First, we are going to contextualize. It all started in 2014, the period in which Warner Bros.commended in the hands of, at that time, newcomers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, an avid and daring ambition focused on LEGO playful construction toys. Luckily, it proved to be an unsuspected and festive strangeness, encountering us in front of an animation vehemently divergent from Pixar's or Dreamworks' works and a jaunty exclusive nature, which allowed our star character, his pertinent and unprecedented spin-off. So once again, they have hit the nail on the head, considering that the filmmakers do not enclose their aspirations within the vast editorial catalog of characters which they treasure, but that they redouble the desires doing to parade characters from other franchises such as "Harry Potter" (Voldemort) or even apocalyptic primate "King Kong".

The Dark Knight, The Caped Crusader, The World's Greatest Detective, Bats, The Bat or simply Batman is an individual who works and lives alone on the basis of his preconceived general statutes. He coexists behind the shadows of his alter ego: Bruce Wayne, who, rationally, also saves the world on an individual basis and without any vestige of changing his ways of thinking or acting. However, when he circumstantially adopts Dick Grayson, will be faced to forsake his existential ideologies and aphorisms in order to take it upon himself to bring him up, instruct him and convert him into his personal co-worker Robin. On the way, only a few are designated for adorning and supplying personality to the storyline; Barbara Gordon and his conservative butler Alfred Pennyworth will have to overcome the dodge manufactured by the fateful Clown Prince and all his clan of subordinates, which commonly threaten to the full extinction of the human race, nevertheless, this time goes much beyond.

It's difficult to believe that the singular film comes out minutely unscathed, having in its writing the bizarre amount of ten screenwriters, and though four of them set up Batman's (Will Arnett) and Superman's (Channing Tatum) brand new identities, that mishmash of ideas could have developed a creative incontinence which would finish with the absolute collapse of the product, but nonetheless, here, ten heads think better than one, and in a fabulous way.Although visual gags (slapstick), jokes and self-references are quite and even excessive, exactly that is what it is all about, presenting a fable with atypical and self-parodic touches exhorting contemporary society from macabre politicians, self-centered celebrities and barbarian conflagrations, a world where good and evil are so laughable to provoke a reaction and an understanding of our existential one-sided basis: love.Hence the script of these men is utterly about human affections; accepting that each human must open its heart understanding that each of them reason singly, assimilating their reasonings, respect and go forward, and support each other. It's more than a concomitant pop-culture product, is an evident social criticism requiring of compression within every child and adult who attend a movie theater. Pushing into the background a prudent analysis about soundtracks, dubbing or ideal characters, ethics and human morality are what take precedence; and although this specific vision will be merely appreciably for those who generate an abstract reading of the film, Hollywood, the fabulous cinematic monster, did not provide a work of such high-minded dimensions in a long time. This is the film we need, it's a must-see animated motion picture.… Expand

It pays homage to every Batman TV or movie apperance, and has some funny lines and creative ideas throughout its runtime, and adresses some deep themes here and there too. While nothing super or incredible, it's a solid effort with talented voice actors and good humor in its majority. So in conclusion, nothing really remarcable, but enough good moments to justify see it once. Recommended for people who like the Lego movies and games, and for anyone to have a fun short time with friends, just don't go with too high a bar, or unreallistic ideas.… Expand

It is a spin-off of the 2014 film The Lego Movie and explores the character of Batman introduced in that film, showcasing his sense of humour but also his loneliness.
Evident from the trailers, this movie has fantastic humour and is one of the first films in a while that has got me laughing, but this time not laughing AT the movie (I've done that more times than I care to count recently). What I love about the film is that it knows exactly what it wants to be and also isn't afraid to make fun of Batman's pop culture history, no matter how recent which proves that this film definitely had some clever minds behind it.
Will Arnett's portrayal of Batman is (and I'm not joking) probably the best I have seen since Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman films (I'm excluding Kevin Conroy as he hasn't appeared in big-budget Batman films made for cinema). His constant use of sarcasm was easily the best part of his character and was constantly funny and it also never got old either. The character had already previously appeared in The Lego Movie but this movie really explored him in an entertaining but also involving way too.
The side-characters were plain fantastic to see; Robin always puts a smile on the audience's face, Barbara Gordon's character was well-done and also the route they went with The Joker was interesting albeit amusing too and made him a proper character as I feared from the trailers that he may have turned out to be a bland villain which thankfully he didn't.
As with the original Lego Movie, the animation is great and is very visually appealing; it's made to look like stop-motion animation and it genuinely does feel like it is all of the time even though it is CGI. All of the action sequences were very fun to watch with the wide range of colours and effects too.
An issue one could have with the film is that it does follow a very similar plot to the original Lego Movie but with all of the great characters and humour it honestly didn't bother me at all and I was constantly invested in the film. I also found this plot to be more consistant too, with the original Lego Movie plot feeling a bit all-over-the-place for me (although most of it was tied up at the end) with lots of locations which I kind of felt were a bit unnecessary. However, this film thankfully kept within the boundaries I wanted it to.
While this film does have its comedic and satirical tone, it also did have a heartfelt side which I was expecting because the original Lego Movie did too and it was done very well. It was great to see how well it delivered all of the messages that it wanted to and also explored some themes which could seem complex but in a simple, friendly way. You may think that I loved this portrayal of Batman purely because of the satirical nature of the character but there was much more to the character which was handled surprisingly much more effectively than in plenty of the recent Batman films.
Overall, this was a great film to start 2017 and one that thankfully didn't disappoint. The humour is on-point and constantly hilarious and the character of Batman is possibly one of my favourite portrayals of the character in any media to-date, no joke. I was pleased to see that there was more to the film than just the humour and how well balanced the two aspects were and ultimately made a very entertaining experience. I would definitely recommend this film and is easily one of the best animated films of recent years.
7.9/10
I can't stop watching the trailers. Help… Expand

Funny, but not hilarious. I enjoyed "The Lego Movie" more because of the clever jokes and satire. Not enough of that in this film, which disappointed me because I'm a huge Batman fan. This is definitely a kids movie.

Hilarious Spin-off
Unlike Minions, The LEGO Batman Movie does a movie based off a comic relief character correctly with a huge amount of laughs, creativity, and superb voice acting.

It has a deep understanding of the character's history, how he has been portrayed over the last 80 or so years, and how current Bat-fans tend to view the character. However, this isn't some reverent awe-struck superhero flick. The Lego Batman Movie takes all of this and creates a spot-on meta commentary that mercilessly deconstructs The Bat, his fans, and his recent films. This isn't really shocking given the MO of The Lego Movie and of Robot Chicken where director Chris McKay worked for years. What is surprising though is how the film uses all of this commentary and deconstruction as the basis for a plot with an actual emotional through-line that creates a convincing argument for how future Batfilms should move forward. The film poses the bold idea that maybe Batman doesn't have to be a man-child wish fulfilment character still brooding over a trauma decades in the past, unable to connect with others. The film suggests that maybe he could be a fun character with friends who does what is right not for himself or to ease his own pain but instead to protect those he loves and because he loves his city. Also, this film has surprisingly great action direction, a great voice cast and possibly the best score of 2017 so far. I guess what I'm saying here is, go check this thing out. It is totally worth your time, especially if you are a Batfan. I'm giving it a 9 only because there is a slight sag in pacing right before the big climax but, in the grand scheme of things, it's a minor quibble in what is an otherwise superior film.… Expand

One can expect to find plenty of laughs, a great message, and a surprisingly intricate look at the complexities of the Batman character in ways other movies about the character just haven't. Who would've thought a kids movie would be the one to examine the effects Batman's past tragedies have had on the character and the way his self-destructive life style blurs the lines between hero and villain. It's the most mature and meaningful bit of Bat-fiction in years, and it's been brought to life with animated Legos and family-friendly humor. The animation style is still really interesting. The screen does regularly get cluttered, making it hard to keep track of what's going on during some of it's larger action scenes. The voice cast is phenomenal and I loved the new takes on classic characters. There are also plenty of nods to Batman's long history in both comics, TV shows, movies, and much more. The amount of obscure Batman villains alone is sure to bring a smile to the face of any longtime Batman fan and excite the imaginations and interest of those who haven't heard of them.

The story is simply great. It shows us Batman's relationships (or lack thereof) with the heroes and villains around him and asks the question of whether or not he can ever open up his heart and find a family. The humor is spot-on. The jokes come at you in a near-constant stream of hilarity. It tackles a wide variety of humor and always comes out on top. A perfect movie for Batman fans of any age. Don't make this mistake of missing out of this because it's "made for kids." There's something here for everybody because it is so deceptively deep. Deeper than pretty much any other movie about the character with maybe the exception of the Nolan trilogy. What could have been a simple cash-in on both Batman and the masterful first movie is instead an incredibly well-made follow up that does the character and the newly arriving Lego Movie franchise a great service. Like the first Lego Movie, this is simply not to be skipped.

Having finally seen it, I was definitely entertained, but I felt there were a few flaws. Sure, the animation was great, the writing was solid and the film as a whole was clever and packed with fun references, but the film was nearly as charming as the first, and considering that this film didn't really use the "LEGO" part nearly as well as the first one did, I think it could've easily worked as a differently styled "Batman" film without the "LEGO" part. In some ways, I feel like the "LEGO" thing was merely a means to cash in on Batman's popularity. Even so, it's definitely an entertaining cash-in, and I would definitely suggest giving it a look.… Expand

It is the best spoof film since Spaceballs. The movie captures the fun that superhero movie can be yet still retains a good message and solid character arch for our caped crusader. The movie references are more timeless than fresh, pulling from years of inside jokes instead of using the current flavor of the week fads. Another big surprise was Zach Galafinakis's Joker. I would like to talk to him about the choices made in that character. Still menacing and thoroughly evil, his Joker was able to explore the relationship between Batman and the Joker in a way that has only been done well in the comics and Dark Knight. Totally recommend.… Expand

Graphics are amazing, both in 3D as well as on the normal Blu ray. Even more so than the allready competent Lego Movie. Lighting effects, smoke, and i preferred the "real water" compared to the Lego water in Lego Movie. Nice to see lots of extra's amongst them also a reasonable part of how the movie has been made.

Sound was awesome in the theater, with nice surround effects. It worked at home as well, but the sounds did seem not to be as well placed (like the Batwing flying across the screen, the sound possition did not felt as deep and properly placed as in the movie theater). Still, it is good enough to pull me back into the movie again. I tried watching the Dutch langued version as well, but i came of much prefferring the original cast.

I feel i could re watch this movie even more so than The Lego Movie, due to the kind of humor suits me just fine, and almost all the character voices just felt right. For me, this movie is just as fun to watch as an adult then it is to watch along with the children.

All in all, since i gave The Lego Movie a 9, and i feel this is the better Lego Movie for me, a 10 it is!… Expand
