The Lego Batman Movie

The tagline is 'always be yourself, unless you can be Batman'. Batman works alone but that doesn't always work out for him. He's not a superhero and he's not a villain, as proven by this film but what we do know is that Lego make great games and great films so it is going to be enjoyable.

Combining all the evil characters from the Lego Batman game and bringing in a little of Batman and Robin so as to introduce the character of Robin there is no way that this film isn't going to be good. With Batman pulling out all the stunts to a hard rock like anthem you have to just sit back and enjoy the amount of fun that they must have had with this film. The stunts are ridiculously good, as can only be done with a Lego film and the creativity behind it all is something to be admired. Beat boxing when you are stressed is a genius idea and the use of a 'nine-pack' set of abs to unite the entire of Gotham is also a stroke of genius.

People of all ages can enjoy this film and if you don't enjoy it then you clearly aren't a Lego fan! Appreciating that Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' can fill you with rage and learning how to use that rage in a good way to defeat Lord Voldemort was another laughing point. Most of us find that song really irritating! They have a solution for everything in this film and this film is exactly why we love Batman.

Michael Cera doing the voice of Robin actually worked really well because when you can't see him you would probably mistake him for being about 12! Ralph Fiennes not as Voldemort but as Albert was a little interesting. He was great as the voice and the character of Albert was fantastic, as always but when the credits came up at the end I was expecting to see his name next to Voldemort and not Albert! Maybe after watching this film you would rather be yourself than be Batman but Batman learns a lot about being Batman as well!
