Lego Batman

I saw this film as a bit of a rebellious act against some people that I've recently spoken to and who were very strongly against seeing any sort of mainstream films due to them only re-enforcing stereotypes and being rubbish. So I sort of felt the need to see something screamingly mainstream.

I was very positively surprised by this film. I didn't have any expectations for it. I hadn't heard anything of it, positive or negative and I thought it was lovely. A nice proper bit of parody, similar to Deadpool in a way, but there was a lot less fourth-wall breaking and a lot more references to pop culture. If you like that sort of references and even, one might say, crossovers, this is the film for you. The jokes are funny and quite witty, it's a children's movie, but the jokes rarely resort to any sort of low humour, no farts or poops, which is always good. If you can, see it in English, I had to see it in Estonian dub and I feel like some of the humour was lost even if it was a good film.

I'm not sure if things happening in the lego universe add much to the plot or anything to the movie. I suppose it helps with the way the ending works out and makes animating easier. It's fun, lovely, clever and certainly worth a watch.
