Who payed the critics

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

When Brainiac zaps Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, Batman and Flash have to go back in time to save them. This time the Justice League goes against Brainiac a Classic Superman villain when on the same time their trying to save both the rest of the Team and the World who is in danger. Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League - Cosmic Clash is a Lego Splash and one that both kids and their parents can sit and like. (A+)

As a decades-long DC fan I love these Lego DC movies. As usual with these there are nods to DC lore and history - plus some nice 'Back to the Future' and 'Star Trek' references as well. The voice acting is spot on, the story's great, and the CGI on the backgrounds is possibly the best in the series. That said, the opening scene of Brainiac attacking a distant planet is difficult to sit through - in the way that Jar Jar Binks is difficult to sit though. The final confrontation too between the heroes and Brainiac is pretty poor. But the scenes of Batman and the Flash time-travelling and their adventures in the different eras trying to locate and recover the missing heroes are fantastic. If the beginning and ending of the film were up to the same standard this would be a 10/10. As it is, those scenes are still strong enough to warrant an 8/10

Troy Baker seems to be fitting the boots of Kevin Conroy as Batman ("Batman: Arkham City"). James Arnold Taylor was also brilliant in lending his voice as the Flash. The chemistry of Batman and Flash was very nice. Those two really stood out in terms of voice acting. There are laughs for kids especially. Like most Batman movies, it is a tad on the dark side also. The fight scenes were tailor-made for the Justice League and the live action was fun. The graphics were dazzling! Supergirl, as usual, was always whining throughout the movie and was killing the script.This is how the the disappointing Lego Batman Movie should have been scripted. My significant digit score: 9.2/10
