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.

A stellar voice cast, a ton of references to the comics, and a surprisingly poignant take on the relationship between Batman and the Joker, and more so, the importance of having people you can rely on in your life. A great film for all ages.… Expand

This is a joyful celebration of the caped crusader, with Arnett giving us the best incarnation of Batman since The Dark Knight. Absolutely saturated with in-jokes and homages, and with a script that revels in self deprecating humour, this is a thoroughly delightful experience that masterfully delivers an exceptional addition to the DC universe. The characters are charming, the visuals are captivating, and the storyline remains wonderfully true to the Lego ethos whilst delivering an epic Batman v. Joker showdown that is sure to keep you enthralled. A brilliantly fun family film. 9.33/10… Expand

The LEGO Batman Movie managed to make one of the most interesting and refreshing incarnations of the Batman character to date. If you're a hardcore fan of the character, a number of easter eggs and satirical humor revolving around the history of Batman will have you laughing out loud constantly. I found myself laughing minutes into the next scene after a number of gut busting one liner that never seemed to end. While the pacing did drag in the toward the end of the second act, I had a smile on my face throughout making this one of my favorites of the year so far.… Expand

Good film, but I have to say the lego movie is much better. The storyline of batman discovering his feelings is a bit overdone, which is ironic as it's batman who is denying his own feelings from the beginning. The action sequences are overly frenetic; there's simply too much going on tooGood film, but I have to say the lego movie is much better. The storyline of batman discovering his feelings is a bit overdone, which is ironic as it's batman who is denying his own feelings from the beginning. The action sequences are overly frenetic; there's simply too much going on too quickly for the viewer to follow. I had trouble figuring out what was going on half the time. As with the lego movie this film will bear repeated viewing, there are so many jokes going on it's difficult to take them all in.… Expand

Funny, moving, and animated well, The LEGO Batman Movie is a solid animated film as well as a solid Batman film that deals with themes such as loneliness and family with aplomb.

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
