Yesterday evening, I saw one of my most anticipated films of 2017- The Lego Batman Movie. After all the hype and fantastic trailers, would it be a hit and soar in the skies like a bat or be as large of a disappointment for me as Sing?
Positives- Very good solid animation throughout, achieving a constant sense of it could be built in Lego
- Amazing voice work by especially Will Arnett as Batman, Michael Cera as Robin and Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth
- Fantastic humour that is just plain funny. Best joke for me was Batman's password which is 'Iron Man sucks' (if you don't get it, the film was dc and marvel owns Iron Man)
- Very unique and original storyline about the Joker
Negatives- Maybe would have been nicer to have the
batgirl come out earlier but still an interesting character
- The theme song and music played in the first battle I didn't love but at least, it was an original piece of music. AHEM SING
- Maybe have a stronger voice actor for the Joker who could sound less nice perhaps
Despite some of the negatives, the Lego Batman Movie delivers a fantastic 1.75 hour long enjoyable film which I even prefer to the original Lego Movie!
The Lego Batman Movie- 9/10
