Purely Joyful Movie!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Having seen The Lego Movie, I expected this to be similar but found it to be a more serious rendition of the Batman tale, and probably nothing like the more recent Batman Lego Movie which I've yet to see. Beginning with the titles sequence in Legos copying the opening of the live-action Batman the Movie, and the use of the Batman and Superman themes from those films, the intent is immediately obvious that the story is going to proceed along those lines and not the more lighthearted and satirical tones of the latter.There are some amusing moments, however, in the depiction of the characters. Unlike the adult Robin portrayed in the live-actor movies, Robin is here a youngster, impatient to join in the mayhem while Batman continually forces him into the background. He also sleeps with a teddy bear.It's an enjoyable movie and the Lego constructs are interesting, and it definitely opens the way for the later, more ambition presentations.

Every single scene had muted audio, drowned out by a loud music score in the background.Apart from that, the movie is just unfunny. Even the usual Lego gags are used only 2-3 times. Most of the movie just shows Batman as a jerk to Robin while being right at the same time. So not really sure what the point of the whole thing was.While we're at it, why are the Legos moving fluidly anyway? Wasn't the whole point of "Lego" movies and games was to use Lego blocks as a joke? Characters don't move stiff-like, they move smooth. Just looks meh.Terrible audio, terrible script.. not even good for kids.

Review: This movie isn't in the same league as the Lego Movie, which was proper funny, but there are some funny moments and the storyline was much better than some of the earlier Batman movies that came out. It was great to see all of the Justice League together, especially Superman who made me made laugh when he teamed up with Batman and the Joker and Lex Luther were great as the baddies. The director chose to use a really dumb Robin which added to the wit of the film but I was hoping that Batman was going to be as funny as he was in the Lego Movie. Anyway, if your a fan of the Lego Movie then this animated movie is definitely worth a watch and the extras on the DVD were a great bonus. Watchable!Round-Up: The animation in this movie wasn't that great, which is probably due to the small budget compared to the Lego Movie, but the characters do move in true Lego form which was well put together. Personally, I think that the thing that has worked with this Lego franchise is the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously and most of the characters are quite funny in there own way. Batman cracked me up in the Lego Movie, which is why I ran out and added this movie to my rental list. In some ways, this is more of an traditional Batman movie were he's trying to save the world by taking on all of the baddies by himself, but he soon realises that he can't do it alone. I recommend this movie to people who are into there animated movies with some of the most popular comic heroes in the world. 5/10

Actually, I've had enough of Batman these days. Every time I watch one of the animated movies, he's okay
until he or the storyline starts to downgrade the greatest hero of our fictional time: Superman. This "movie" is no different.That said and disregarding the display of Batman being a dick again to Superman, LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite is an absolute pleasure.My roommate/landlord has played the game where the majority of these shots were side segments and he states some scenes were added to make it a full-fledged film
if you can call a 71 cartoon a "film." Since I have not played the game – whatever it's called, this entire video was brand new to me.I loved almost every minute of this. Laughed hard, marveled a lot and actually enjoyed the journey of these characters lego'ized.It was clever, fun and adventurous, despite the limitations of being just about Legos. And above all that, it was clever; just when I thought it had flaws, the movie sideswiped me and explained what I would normally criticize.Basically, Lex Luthor and Joker team up so Lex can be President of the United States, but both Batman and hilarious Robin set out to expose his evil plots. Sometimes calling upon the likes of our lovable Justice League players.Even if you're only mildly interested in either Batman, Legos or Animation, this is an absolute must see. Especially if you fall in that "mildly interested" category; it's only 71 minutes! That's not a lot of time invested.You'll thank me. This was fun.
