After a year of many comedy failures here comes 2017.
This film was got twice as many laughs out of me then any comedy last year.
It is a very funny script with picking apart superhero films and the characters egos.
The film just piles on so many funny lines that you can miss many of these lines while laughing.
It all starts and ends with Will Arnett. He keeps the same tone the whole time...in all situations which makes his delivery even funnier.
Underneath it all is a nice message for the little ones of the importance of having loyal friends and family..
Negatives?
Yes. This film reminded me a lot of the Scary Movie franchise. Where they make fun of a genre of films. This film clearly takes shots at superhero films. The problem with these films are they have a habit of over staying their welcome. After an hour in, it seemed like the Lego Batman felt long. The jokes were coming slower. The plot became messy. And for some reason the animation felt lazy with the same back ground for the last half hour. Odd...colors popped in the first hour. Shadows were used well. Then...it fell apart like the script.
Still....4 stars out of 5 for The Lego Batman Movie. 4 stars for the humor. The idea. The humor will keep parents in their seat. The humor which may go over the kids heads, but fear not they will stay in their seats watching the action. Did I mention this was funny.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
