What's it about: Lego Batman considers himself the ultimate lone vigilante. After The Joker unleashes a host of villains on Gotham City, Lego Batman must learn to work with others including the young orphan he has adopted.
The verdict: The Lego Batman Movie trailer was one of the best trailers to come out of last year's Comic Con, and as such I had very high expectations for the film. I would say that my expectations were mostly met. Firstly the characters are great, Lego Batman was one of the standout characters from The Lego Movie and he continues to be just as entertaining and funny in this. The supporting characters are also good, Robin's eagerness and Alfred's dry humour provide great comic relief. And this incarnation of The Joker is both original and yet familiar at the same time.
The animation itself is great, and it looks really good on screen. There are lots of jokes to be had, and these will appeal to both adults and children. In fact one of the brilliant things about the Lego films is that they have universal appeal. There were people of all ages in the audience, and they all seemed to enjoy the film.
In regards to the weaker aspects of the film, I found the plot slightly disappointing. The climax of the film was a bit silly, and I actually enjoyed the first half more. A lot of the best jokes were in the trailer so they fell a bit flat for me. Overall I thought The Lego Movie was slightly better so I couldn't help but compare them.
However saying that, the Lego Batman Movie is great fun, an easy watch and very engaging. I really look forward to seeing the next Lego film as they are original and fun animations - there are no other animated films like them. Plus the Lego Batman Movie has one of the best film openings I've seen for a long time.
Should you watch this film? Yes! A really enjoyable and fun animation that all ages will enjoy.
