THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (Released to Theaters USA 2017)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

The Lego Batman Movie—great animation—throws villains at the audience like raindrops falling from the sky once the Joker gets to the Phantom Zone. Scenes get messy and difficult to follow. Some villains are given prominence which helps and it is interesting to see which villains Warner Brothers sees as more significant than others. The movie is good, overall. It has a solid beginning and conclusion. The voice cast is well-chosen. The presentation and portrayal are good.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

 Yes. Overall, the movie tells a suitable to good story and throws in a little comedy as a bonus. At places it runs slow, but definitely works as a good child/adult share film for  a one-time watch.
