Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Naufal H — 19 Feb 2017

After the astonishing Lego Movie, that films best character gets his own film and it's awesome.

Batman must not only deal with the criminals of Gotham City, but also the responsibility of raising a boy he adopted and learn to work with others.

First and foremost the films animation is great. Just as with the Lego Movie the screen is bursting with imagination and vivid colours. It looks brilliant and the visuals alone will keep you entertained.

But the script as well is a humdinger. The jokes come thick and fast and while a few miss most hit the target. The best gags are at the main characters expense, one stand out scene rips all the previous Batman films. There's even a few digs at another major comic book character that are laugh out loud.

The cast are all good value. Will Arnet as Batman is great and there's good support too from Rosario Dawson, Zach Galifanakis and especially from Ralph Fiennes.

While not as original as the Lego Movie this is great fun and will keep the little ones entertained while making the grown ups giggle.
