When the Joker and Lex Luthor form an alliance, Batman must team up with the Justice League in order to stop them. Lego Batman: The Movie won't please all it's viewers but some fans will find themselves suprised from the action and the cameos that known villains and heroes make in the film plus there's lots of nostalgia with the old Batman theme and it even feels like the game from the 2008 at times. (A+)

Here I was thinking that the 2017 Lego Batman movie was the original, but this proved me wrong. I guess the other movie was a tough act to follow. Well, technically it came later, but it was in terms of the order I saw them. Being a huge fan of Lego, I think this may have been the first movie of any kind to prominently feature them. Then again, the Bionicle movies might count, being based on a line of Lego products. For whatever the reason, this movie was just okay. The animation is just nice and there's a lot of cool stuff going on. There is a huge complaint I have.Despite the fact that the title is "Super Heroes Unite", the actual Justice League don't appear until literally the last seventh of the entire movie! And seeing as how the movie is only 70 minutes long, that's really annoying. It needed way more comedic moments. Well, it was probably never intended to be like that anyway. There is this rather humorous scene where it's revealed Batman and Superman have been impersonating each other and they swap body parts. So, is it just their heads that need to be intact? Whatever, it was funny. **1/2

OK, perhaps folks take this movie too seriously? Or perhaps I am not a critic so I am not too serious? #1 I used to play with Lego toys so I like this movie. #2 the movie was actually good! It had a great plot. Sadly some of our adult live action movies need to take a lesson! The villains were devious as they should be! The Joker I loved because he is exactly the way he should be...CRAZY! All should beware of the Joker even if you think you are on the same team. You just never know with him. The comedy was unexpected but I loved it. I laughed a lot throughout the movie which I think was a nice touch that way a parent and the children can enjoy the movie together. I like how Batman had issues and an attitude problem. Superheroes are not perfect and should not be portrayed as such. They have issues they need to work out so they can...wait a minute...be be better heroes! My favorite was seeing Batman and Superman at the bus stop. Too funny! Seeing all the Justice League in the end was marvelous! I thoroughly enjoyed it for the fun movie it is and please just enjoy it and don't make it more then what it is just fun for the whole family.

At first I thought this movie would be kind of like "The Avengers." The movie turns out to be very different! All the Marvel superheroes and everything else are made out of Legos. It is more focused on Batman as a man and other heroes like Robin, Super Women, Super Man, the Green Lantern and many others. This move has a mix of comedy which I've noticed is in every Lego movie. It has action, adventure, great actors and even a lifelong lesson - sometimes you can't do things all by yourself, you need help. There are some pretty cool structures and machines. All these structures are built out of Lego bricks so you can really build them yourself if you knew how!The adventure begins when Bruce Wayne wins the "Man of the Year" award. If you don't know who Bruce Wayne is, he is Batman undercover. Then, the Joker commits a crime and Batman and Robin have to capture him once again. As they are trying to achieve their goal, Superman helps him. Batman gets annoyed with Superman but, at the end they work together and call in all the superheroes to defeat the Joker! If you want to know what happens at the end you must watch the movie.What I love about this funny, action-packed film is how it shows the relationship between Robin and Batman as somewhat difficult. This isn't very good for a side-kick and a hero. At the end though, they become good friends. Also, it shows all the heroes' powers like Superman's strength and Batman's throwing skills. The best part for me is how everything is made out of Legos. And, as in most Lego movies, there are cool animations, good actions and great voice-over actors.My favorite scene is when the bat cave gets destroyed. It's action packed and shows Joker's "funny" side with his strange humor and his pie bombs. Superman helps them. But, the Joker and his partner Lex, who is running for president and using Joker to win election, gets away. Would you like to know how he was able to defeat Superman's power? Get a copy of this wonderful film and find out! I recommend this film for ages 3 and up. There's really no violence or harsh language in this movie. "Lego Batman the Movie" is extremely kid- friendly. I give this movie 5 out 5 stars. You can find it on DVD everywhere now.
