Michael Reviews The Lego Batman Movie

Review Written by Michael J. Ruhland

Michael's Movie Grade: A-

Review: Really, really funny movie.

The humor in this film just hits the bull's-eye. Starting with Batman's voice over narration telling us how all important movies start to the end credits nearly every joke just works great. The humor is fast moving, but never moves too fast that the jokes lose any impact. The jokes show a true love of the source material, especially the 1960's show (which I love very much). It's not afraid to make fun of how silly many aspects of the Batman mythos are, but it also loves the silliness and revels in the fun of it all.

However the story of this film is actually pretty good as well. Sure it's over the top and silly, but it is still an engaging story. The characters are very likable, relatable and well thought out. While I don't think it will make you flat out cry, the emotional scenes are believable and add a lot to the movie. However let's not forgot first and foremost this is a comedy and a very funny one.

Definitely one of the best superhero movies in a while and probably the most fun.
