Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Neth3Rtwist — 13 Feb 2017

The movie has its moments. From sweeping action sequences that remind us of hundreds of other dark crusader incarnations to a Mad Max-esque Hans Zimmer-ish musical backdrop (the guy works in the same office as Mr.

Gladiator himself and is known as Lorne Balfe, previous work quite unknown) to beautiful, seemingly hand-crafted (seemingly) animation to... sappy emotional scenes? You heard right: the movie is unnecesarily ground to a screeching halt while Batman's familial isolationism is explored.

And why do we care about this? Oh, right, we don't. Batman movies are about one thing: brooding action, music, and memorable villains (plus neat vehicles). Lego movies, games, and shows are about..

cute comedy.
