Honestly, I've never seen anything related to Batman before, but I do really like The Lego Movie. So, I decided to go watch this movie not because I wanted a Batman flick, but because I wanted a lighthearted Lego Movie spinoff. And what do I think? I think it is just as good, if slightly more flawed, than it's predecessor.
The movie is really funny. Not only can dialogue get a laugh, but the fact that the movie is made out of LEGO and the fact that the entire movie loves to poke fun at the entire Batman franchise can bring some laugh-out-loud moments as well. There's also the interactions between characters and how well they play off each other. It's really fast-paced and always shoots jokes at you, which helps it a ton.
I throught the animation was, just like in the first movie, awesome. I loved how the action scenes were shot and I really liked the shots of Gotham being covered in lava. It's impressive how these guys can make LEGO bricks look this good.
And finally, I liked the characters - Batman is a likeable jerk and sort of a self-parody of himself who can still bring some genuinely heartwarming and even sad moments, Robin is an absolutely Adorkable little guy who bringed smile on my face everytime he was on-screen and Joker was a fun villain who managed to be symphatetic and yet intimidating at the same time.
If I had any problems with this movie is that it may be slightly more fast-paced than the original Lego Movie, which may make it tiresome and annoying to some. Also, while I throught that Batman was a funny and cool character, I think he was a little too much of a jerk in some scenes, especially in the first half.
But other than that, it's just pure fun. I don't know how people who aren't fans of Batman or Lego Movie will like it, but if you like either of them, check it out. It's a typical animated comedy/action movie, but in the best possible way.
Pure fun ( Possible spoilers )
