The Lego Batman Movie
I need to confess something, dear readers—I LOVE The Lego Movie. I love it. I really
really love it. It's the right mix of hilarious and soul-touching. I own it. I
love watching it. In fact, I watched it on Christmas morning because…
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
Ahem. When I found out there was going to be a Lego Batman
movie, I almost lost it. It's going to be…AWESOME. I swear I'll stop with the
awesome. Maybe.
I dragged my friend N to see it with me, and she wasn't
exactly excited to see it. By the end though, she thought it was better than
she thought it was going to be. However, I thought it was…AWESOME. EVERYTHING
IS AWESOME!!!!!! I think I love it almost as much as The Lego Movie. It still has that magical mix of funny and yanking
on those heartstrings with many Batman self-references.
Plot in a Nutshell:
Batman does his thing—stopping criminals in Gotham, giving merchandise to
orphans, and eating lobster thermidor. However, when Commissioner Gordon
retires and his super cop daughter Barbara takes over, Batman's world is turned
upside down. It's also turned upside down because he unintentionally adopts
Robin. In order to defeat a very clingy Joker and his evil friends, he must
team up with those he cares for most, even though Batman works alone.
WTF: Daleks
appear in the movie, but they couldn't say the word "dalek." Is it
copyrighted?
Fun Facts are Fun:
Will Arnett's two sons Archie and Abel provide additional voices. Billy Dee
Williams voices Two Face, and Mariah Carey (yes, that Mariah Carey) did the
voice of the Mayor of Gotham City. Ralph Fiennes is the voice of Alfred, and he
played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter
series. I was so hoping he'd voice Voldemort here, but alas no. It was Eddie
Izzard.
The Verdict: GO
SEE IT RIGHT NOW.
Happy Presidents Day, everyone!
