Summary: In the irreverent spirit of The LEGO® Movie, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others andIn the irreverent spirit of The LEGO® Movie, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure.

Like a miniature universe made entirely of millions of tiny plastic bricks, The Lego Batman Movie looks and feels like it could only have been put together by a roomful of mad geniuses, moving in a ballet of well-choreographed creativity: It’s simultaneously epic and humble. Read full review

The Lego Batman Movie, for the most part, very skillfully keeps the wackiness from overwhelming the plot and vice versa. And while the various Bat-vehicles take us through vertiginous zooms on land or through the air, McKay keeps the action rousing but never jumbled. Read full review

In its best moments, this gag-a-minute Bat-roast serves as a reminder that, in the right hands, a sharp comic scalpel can be an instrument of revelation as well as ridicule. Read full review

The Lego Batman Movie is less awesome than its predecessor, but it’s a clever, well-paced, self-aware and completely satisfying kind of less awesome. Read full review

Tonally, it’s closer to the Adam West television program than to any of the subsequent incarnations, although (if possible) The Lego Batman Movie takes itself even less seriously. Read full review

The LEGO Batman Movie is entertaining, but it also sometimes feels less like a spin-off of The LEGO Movie and more like one of its targets. Read full review

The greatest disappointment is how much of the script seems to have been assembled from a kit by someone afraid to deviate from the instructions. In a sequel to "The Lego Movie," that’s not just a letdown, it’s a betrayal. Read full review

This was everything I ever hoped it would be and more. Hilarious, exciting, moving and wildly inventive. TLBM is the potential of the superhero movie fully realised. I think I genuinely LOVE this film.

Lego Batman sorprendentemente es una increíble película de Batman, que si se ve más allá del contenido infantil, se aprecia mucho. Deja una gran enseñanza y creo que es la única obra de Batman que refleja a la perfección la relación entre el murciélago y el Joker.

The Lego Batman movie was great just like The Lego movie. Its got great action, humour, characters, and surprisingly even some emotional weight to it. Overall it is a fun and entertaining movie for kids and adults alike.

A lively, colorful, rapid fire animated company with a fluid animation style and reference filled script. The Lego Batman Movie is great and can be recommended to all ages.

Normally one would think that the idea of making an entire movie about Batman a comedy would not be effective in this day and age where apparantely DC comics wants all the properties to be dark and gritty, but this holds surprinsingly well. It pays homage to every Batman TV or movieNormally one would think that the idea of making an entire movie about Batman a comedy would not be effective in this day and age where apparantely DC comics wants all the properties to be dark and gritty, but this holds surprinsingly well. 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

What surprised me most was how funny Batman and company can be if portrayed in the right light, and that light (while inconsistent and unsurprising) makes for a fun film in The Lego Batman Movie.

Much of the humor comes from changing the personality of Batman altogether. Scenes change so rapidly, the director must have a short attention span. The voice cast is terrible; it's as if they chose people based on their star power alone. Compared to The Lego Movie, it's a letdown, and compared to any other Batman film, it's a disaster.… Expand
