This Lego movie is even better than the original and leaves me anxious for what's next. In , we became acquainted with an ignorant but arrogant billionaire with orange hair who wanted to rule the world.
Call him President Business. Well, that's what they called him in "The Lego Movie". Who did you think I was talking about? The process of defeating that cartoonish villain involved joining together a vast array of different characters who had to learn to put aside their differences and work together to wrest power from that evil businessman-turned-politician.
Yes, of course I'm still talking about the first Lego movie. All this may sound scary, but the animated feature film that I've been describing since the very beginning of this paragraph had some important lessons to teach about teamwork and the specialness of all people — whether they're made out of plastic or just look and act plastic on screen.
Ignorant arrogance like this can also be very funny as long as it's fictional and "The Lego Movie" delivered on that promise. Doubling down on that kind of humor is that movie's spin-off "The Lego Batman Movie" PG, , an inspired mashup of Danish toys and American comic books.
To simply say that Lego Batman is a loner is like referring to the Unabomber as anti-social. Even when he's in public whether as Batman or as Bruce Wayne , he treats the citizens of Gotham as his subjects and only wants their adulation.
Batman gives himself full credit for keeping Gotham crime-free and is convinced that he's the only one who can do it — and that he doesn't need help or advice from anyone. This Batman probably thinks that the first film's Oscar-nominated original song "Everything is Awesome" was written for and about him and his life. The character could have also written the film's tagline: "Always be yourself.
The comparisons will always be made, I mean it's Batman, but the less the continuation is like what came before it, the more you avoid those comparisons. They're completely different versions of the character, so they can't be judged the same. That's why it was immensely disappointing that DC continued with the dark and brooding Bat but with Ben Affleck under the cowl instead of Christian Bale. I had no problem with Affleck as Batman, despite many people's complaints about his casting, what I had a problem with was keeping the same dark tone of Nolan's version.
I remember saying, before this movie came out, that the new Batman needed to be silly and goofy. He needed to be a more comical character.
Now I'm not saying that he needed to be silly like Batman and Robin was in , the movie that killed Batman as a film franchise for 8 years. That movie was terrible, if a complete campfest. You can be silly and good, Deadpool has proven it two times already.
I'm not saying Batman needed to become Deadpool, but that's a good template to follow in terms of silliness but, at the same time, remaining a quality movie. Realistically speaking, to me, this is more canon Batman than DCEU's continued attempts to replicate what came before in terms of the Batman character.
But, let's get on with this shall we? I don't know why I felt the needed to point that out, but there you go. You know, the thing about most Batman movies is that, quite frankly, a lot of them are afraid to be compared to what came before. And I understand that, they're attempting to do their own thing while attempting to add to the character's legacy.
With that said and not saying that, at least as I can remember, there's no real nod or wink to what came before in most, if any, of the previous Batman movies. Though, to be fair, I haven't kept up with the most recent incarnation of the character and, quite frankly, I'm not that interested. Regardless, I think this movie does something that's quite cool. And that is the fact that, while it does its own thing that's unique to it, it's also a movie that pays tribute to every incarnation of Batman out there.
And I find that that's cool, because, while it's certainly silly to suggest that Batman is, like, close to 80 years old if not older and he hasn't aged at all, it, at the same time, pays respect to what came before.
One very funny gag in the movie is when Alfred, early on, points out that he's worried about Batman's behavior, he says that he's seen Bruce go through similar phases in , , , , , , , and 'that weird one' in complete with footage of Adam West dancing with some Egyptians, I think. Of course, the years just mentioned are the years in which every Batman movie has been released. Very self-referential indeed, but I feel that it works regardless. The film is sort of framed as this break-up between Batman and The Joker and how Batman doesn't need the Joker or how the Joker isn't even Batman's 1 enemy or he means nothing to Batman.
You could say it's a 'hate story' in that Joker, being offended at all of this, reunites the world's biggest villains Sauron, Voldemort, King Kong, Gremlins, among others in order to destroy Gotham and, maybe, just maybe, be someone of importance in Batman's life.
All The Joker wants is for the Batman to hate him, is that so bad? So yes, it starts off very silly, but I do very much like the narrative path the movie chooses to take.
Which might sound weird to say about a movie as silly, heavy on the pop-culture references and self-referential as this, but I'm saying it. Batman leads a very lonely existence in his manor. He has no friends, he has no family outside of Alfred and he has no love life.
He refuses to let anyone in because he doesn't want to deal with the pain of losing them if it ever came to that. This is, of course, as a result the fact that his parents were murdered at a very young age. So, while the movie is sticks to its very silly humor, I do find that they explore some of Batman's issues of loss and abandonment better than some of the major installments in the film franchise.
So, in that regard, I find that the narrative in this movie is a really strong one. Because, of course, Bruce unknowingly adapts Dick Grayson who, of course, becomes Robin.
So he has to deal with raising this kid and letting him team up when, usually, he works alone. Yes, it might surprise some of you, but this movie does, in fact, have some strong character development. Some of you may see it as a little heavy-handed, exploring this dynamic of Batman opening up his heart to people and letting them in, becoming part of a family again which is his greatest fear Perhaps the one thing that I like about this movie, which was a major part of the original Lego Movie, is the fact that this feels like a movie a kid would make, playing with his Lego toys.
This is proven by the fact that the sound effects for guns, cars, gadgets, etc, etc are made by the actors themselves.
It's such a goofy little gag, but it works in this setting. The humor is certainly all over the place, and not every joke hits, but a damn good chunk of them do.
The animation is gorgeous. I think part of me almost forgot how damn strong the animation was in The Lego Movie, but this movie never fails to impress with how detailed its animation actually is. World is colorful, vibrant and full of personality. The voice acting is also top-notch. No problems with that either. If there's one surprising bit about the movie is how much action there is and how good it is too.
It's not that, of course, it's gonna change the world or anything of the sort, but it very good. In short, it should be obvious, that I found this movie to be a lot of fun from beginning to end. I don't think it comes close to surpassing The Lego Movie but, at the same time, it really doesn't have to or even try.
All it needed to do was to prove that you can do a goofy and comical Batman without it being terrible or an embarrassment to legacy of the character. But, yea, this really is a blast of a movie.
The story of Batman finally getting the family he so desperately wants but denies that he does is really sweet and effective. The movie is consistently funny, the animation is top-notch and the voice acting is great. While I wouldn't say that this is a great movie, I think it falls a little short of that, this is still a very good and, mosty importantly, a massively entertaining movie.
While the DCEU isn't gonna see dramatic changes, I hope they look at this movie's success creatively and commercially and realize that comedy is not something to shy away from.
It will only help make their movies better. With that said, this movie still isn't for everybody, so if you're a Batman purist, this isn't going to be your cup of tea. But if you're looking to have a good time, then this is easily recommended. Jesse O Super Reviewer. Jun 19, Building off of the block-busting success of the The LEGO Movie, a fun-tastic merging of snark and family friendly that was everything a flick about a plaything should be, this Dark Knight rises to even greater heights thanks to its innate ability to satisfy both kids and the kids in all of us.
In this PG-rated animated piece of pop-art, a cooler-than-ever Bruce Wayne Will Arnett must deal with the usual suspects as they plan to rule Gotham City, while discovering that he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan Michael Vera who wishes to become his sidekick.
Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was also funny but for entirely wrong reasons. In winning fashion, LEGO Batman goes so far as to even tease audiences with a riffy retelling of the Dark Knight's long strange trip through pop culture history. Of course, the funhouse tone and LEGO Batman's hilariously self-absorbed 'voice' have slowly been developed in both video game form and in The LEGO Movie before being built upon here, but this standalone truly kicks this version of the character up a quantum notch.
This brings up another impressive point: This iteration is based on a toy and video game--two nearly impossible thresholds to pass when it comes to adaptations. What's more amazing is that there are five writers listed for this adaptation Seth Grahame-Smith, of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter non-fame, gets story credit , which is usually a bad sign that too many cooks are spoiling the broth.
Instead, it would appear that each screenwriter used their specific gifts to work on developing and strengthening the many individual characters in this soup. Indeed, the multitude of LEGO figurines pulled from the Zeitgeist could've very easily made for an overwhelming candy-colored experience, but this is never allowed to happen to any blockhead big or small.
Hell, even the walk-ons don't get the short-shrift. Supporting players and cameos abound in this, a gleeful extension of the DC Universe in which Harry Potter and Doctor Who get to play everybody from Superman and Alfred the Butler to Voldemort and Daleks take part in the monkey business.
Somehow, all of the pieces fit together wonderfully, especially the story, voices, and - most importantly - the sumptuous animation. Sure, the obligatory message that accompanies an All Audiences feature in this case--the importance of friendship gets laid on thick but the movie's snarky zippy delivery keeps the tongues of all involved planted firmly in cheek.
What they've given us is a riff on a specific piece of pop culture that further riffs on pop culture in general. The only possible deficit is that some of the jokes may not age well, but most of the brands included have already stood the test of time.
With franchise fatigue setting in for audiences in regards to some series, moviegoers are right to be wary when it comes to broadening The LEGO Movie into offshoots. Jeff B Super Reviewer. Jul 31, When the first Lego movie came out a few years ago, I thought it was a revelation in the animation industry. Both the movies and the video games are expertly executed with Lego pieces flying everywhere!
It was only right that Lego continued the trend by adding a cannonized Lego Batman movie to the historic ranks of the fearsome crime fighter. It was thoroughly enjoying to see the flawless animations and voice acting back in Lego form, however, I wasn't quite as enamored with this installment as I was the first.
Michael Cera and his boyish high pitch were great for Robin and Zack Galifianakis's zany yet distinct voice was a solid casting for the Joker. Those three stand out as our primary characters as their relationships weave in and out of one another. To hilarious affect, the movie is mostly centered around The Joker and Batman's relationship, but it's played to resemble more of an actual love relationship than a heated one.
There are certainly childish messages underlying throughout the film, but seeing it all play out in Lego form is what makes it more endearing or charming than anything else for someone over the age of My only gripe was the pace of which the film moved. The first Lego movie had a centralized plot surrounding its main character that introduced side Lego characters you could grow accustomed to. In Batman, we have so many characters on screen with so much happening so fast, it felt a little rushed in just over 90 minutes.
These Lego movies opened up a new window for Hollywood's artistic and animated talent to express themselves.
Whether it's by stop-motion or pure CGI, there are so many avenues Hollywood can take in Lego form, you feel like every one of them could be a winner. Lane Z Super Reviewer.
