Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017) by Christopher E — 25 Jun 2017

"The Lego Batman Movie" is fast paced, funny, and witty.

There are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker's hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

On a calm Saturday night after work, my sister and her fiancee approached me and asked if I wanted to watch this film. In all honesty, I wasn't really that interested. I initially turned it down, but in the end, I decided to watch it. In a nice surprise, I actually really enjoyed this film. There's a lot of good aspects to it, even if it isn't perfect.

One thing I enjoyed about this film is its quick and witty dialogue. I feel like you're constantly laughing every few minutes, which makes this movie really fun. The pacing is really fast, if not overly fast, but it keeps you drawn in throughout its short run time.

The animation was simultaneously really impressive. The animation was really smooth and well done, with a lot of attention given to really small details. There's something about the animation in lego movies that really impresses me, and they continued to show that quality here.

The voice actors were also a great fit for the film. Will Arnett was great as Batman, while the rest of the crew all put on great performances also. There were a lot of great voice actors in this movie, and they were all able to really bring out the characters at hand.

In the end, this film movies really quickly, but it's still a solid flick. It's fun and entertaining, while providing even a handful of emotional moments.
