Sadly Over-hyped

How sad is this?

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

How many time can you watch a film and laugh at the same moments? In this case the answer is infinite. My kids love this film and every time they put it on I end up watching it and crying laughing. Batman is the star of the show his character is hilarious and the voice over is spot on. This movie is a tonic for anyone with even a limited sense of humour.

The main reason this movie falls short is that it turns its back on the whole construction aspect of the Lego world. There is a key moment in the movie where Robin is attempting to repair Batmans vehicles and they show absolutely none of it. Robin proceeds to fail miserably. Lego is about building something creative, which this movie was not. Felt more to me like they were trying to use as many Batman plot gimmicks as they could, only this time they're in the 'Lego world' and used cheaply.Also, could barely tell that Arnett, Cera and Galifianakis were in the movie with the voice dubs, didnt seem like the writing suited them. Better kids movie than a DC/Batman movie. Would still see the next one though if they did one.

The Lego Movie is my most favorite animation comedy ( with a little rivalry from Megamind ) so I had huge expectations and as it happens ,this kind-of sequel did not satisfy me , entirely . but other than that , it is hilarious and Will Arnet continues to be a great not-batman kind of batman .

The beautiful thing about a Batman parody via Legos? No back story or realism are required. It would seem that every joke and reference are teed up for you (not to mention a seemingly unlimited special effects budget). But this story actually would have benefited by being a bit more constrained. They did not need every WB villain of all time. They did not need to try SOOO hard. They did not need to undercut the suspense by making it clear Batman always wins. A simple Batman story would have worked. Anyway, I still laughed, but when the funniest lines are in the trailers...
