The Lego Batman Movie(2017) Review
Plot:
There are big changes brewing in Gotham City, and if Batman 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.
Thoughts before watching the movie:
This is a spin-off of The Lego Movie(2014), and the stand-out character from that movie was Batman. I didn't love The Lego Movie when I watched it the first time, but, on the second watch, it was absolutely brilliant. So, I was excited to see this. Also, the main character is Batman, who is my favorite superhero ever, and The Dark Knight trilogy movies are probably in my top 10 of all time. I saw this movie on Saturday(18/2/17).
Pro's:
The Writing:Making fun of Batman: I mean, if you know the history of Batman, and if you've seen every single movie he's been in, this movie is a treat for you. This movie understands the character so perfectly, and that's why it's able to critic the character.
The Jokes and Comedy: Absolute gold. Now, this does not have normal straight-forward humor. It's extremely clever, and satirical, so, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's not devoid of the conventional stuff.
A treat for Batman fans.
The Animation.
The Voice Acting, especially that of Will Arnett as Batman.
The relationship between Joker and Batman.
Suitable for both kids and adults.
Con's:
It kind of meanders a little bit in the second act.
Sometimes, the jokes can get a little tiresome, by that, I mean, every single one of them work, but, there's so much(probably one every 30 seconds), that you just become tired sometimes.
Verdict:
Most people said that this was better than The Lego Movie, but, I liked this one more, and that's just me, and maybe because I am a huge Batman fan. Overall, I'd give this movie 7.8/10.
PS: As far as Batman movies go, my order goes like this:
1. The Dark Knight
2. The Dark Knight Rises
3. Batman Begins
4. The Lego Batman Movie
5. Batman
6. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
7. Batman Returns
8. Batman Forever
9. Batman and Robin
