Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Freedomfighters — 19 Jun 2017

With how much I loved "The LEGO Movie," I was definitely excited when I heard that Batman, one of the first film's funniest characters, was going to get his own film. Having finally seen it, I was definitely entertained, but I felt there were a few flaws.

Sure, the animation was great, the writing was solid and the film as a whole was clever and packed with fun references, but the film was nearly as charming as the first, and considering that this film didn't really use the "LEGO" part nearly as well as the first one did, I think it could've easily worked as a differently styled "Batman" film without the "LEGO" part.

In some ways, I feel like the "LEGO" thing was merely a means to cash in on Batman's popularity. Even so, it's definitely an entertaining cash-in, and I would definitely suggest giving it a look.
