Movie Review: The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

What's more awesome than a Batman movie? Why having a VERY AWESOME "THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE" - The kind that pays tribute to just about EVERYTHING that made the Caped Crusader so beloved and endeared by fans worldwide, and that includes yours truly too! After the success of 2014's "The Lego Movie" and introducing the kind of Dark Knight who's self-absorbed and overconfident about his heroic abilities, animation director Chris McKay was given the reigns to helm and oversee the design of a spin-off film so AWESOME that it could only star one guy - BATMAN... And his world of Gotham City in Lego form of course! Three years in the making and with so much justice inside it, how does this spin-off film centering on the Brick Knight fare?

To answer that question a REVIEW is in order... And thankfully after seeing this AWESOME movie courtesy of the folks from Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines alongside friends and fellow Batfans alike, there's a lot of positivity to say about this superhero adventure that not only caters to superheroics, but also to the lesson that you need to trust others and build a family that is stronger when united together.

SPOILERS may follow as of this review, so go see the film first before reading! You have been warned!

Movie Review: The Lego Movie

"EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! EVERYTHING IS COOL!"

If you needed to sum up The Lego Movie in a few words (if not for the AWESOME POSTER seen here), then its those lines above from the amazingly catchy song "Everything Is Awesome!!!" sung by Tegan and Sara ft. The Lonely Island, which is featured prominently in the movie featuring those lovable construction bricks and directed by 21 Jump Street directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Truly a Lego fan and collector's dream movie come true, The Lego Movie appeals to the kid in you, and interlocks bricks of every kind in an epic type adventure that sees one ordinary guy teaming up with powerful Master Builders in order to save the Lego universe from an evil tyrant bent on keeping things glued together.

That premise, along with an all star line-up of amazing voice talents and some wacky bizarre building block fun makes this movie AWESOME in every sense of the word!

Also, here's a pic from the official Philippine premiere of the film last February 3 (with me dressed as Lego Batman)!

Now here's the review for "The Lego Movie", and Big Thanks goes to Warner Bros. PH again for the advanced screening!
