Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Brian B — 27 Feb 2017

The Lego Batman Movie is a joy to watch from start to finish and it is as much for adults as it is for kids. Witty, inventive and visually stunning to look at, it's up there with some of the best animated films of recent years. Will Arnett plays a great Batman, a combination of the past incarnations and he adds his own sarcastic touch too.

The film works on so many levels and the fun and homage that it pays to previous Batman films is what I liked the most. There are references to the Michael Keaton Batman films, Christopher Nolan's epic trilogy, as well as making fun of the Adam West tv series and the god awful Joel Schumacher atrocities. There are also lots of really fun Superman moments that I really enjoyed too. It's great fun from start to finish, it moves along at a great pace and doesn't outstay it's welcome. I look forward to a sequel.
