The Lego Batman Movie

This film started off well with an excellent chase, despite Batman overselling himself on the logos and commenting on every little detail that appeared on the screen. The film works well at capturing all of Batman’s previous appearances and costumes; as well as a lot of heroes and villains from other universes. In her first appearance, Barbara Gordon was even wearing a Hans Solo outfit. But I thought that it was disappointing that there weren’t any cameo appearances from the characters of the first Lego movie. The plot also seemed to fold towards the end as all the villains suddenly decided to help each other and turn good in the name of friendship and teamwork. A few ‘reality’ moments would have been a bit more beneficial; such as a giant hand coming into sight to move the bricks into position. I’m also trying to identify the voice of the light-changing brick that guarded the entrance to the phantom zone. It sounds like Ellen DeGeneres who voices Dory. Overall, it’s an entertaining movie with comic moments that mocks itself and everything connected to it.
