Movie Review: THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE (Review #2)


There are big changes brewing in Gotham City, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker's (Zack Galifianakis) hostile takeover, Batman (Will Arnett) may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

Two years after its release, The LEGO Movie still resonates with us both in its quality as a film, which stands as one of the best animated features of the last few years, and in the way it shook the business and showed you can make great movies out of toys. Still that hasn't meant quality films in this department. In the last two years no one has reached the standard of brilliance, wit, comedy and heart that made The LEGO Movie the beauty it is. That is, until now. From the same creative team behind the first film comes another wildly funny film which almost serves as a further reinvention of the spoof/parody genre.
