We are a week away, may as well start a thread.

Here is a good "review" of sorts....

Some "spoilers" included in the review (some characters that appear, themes).

https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/04/lego-batman-movie-favourite-batman-movie-date-no-dont-mean-pseudo-hipster-ironic-fashion-just/

It is remarkably different to The Lego Movie that featured the character. The Lego Movie was a clever piece of analysis of the human condition, emphasising the importance of not being bound by authority, of play, of empathy and understanding. Lego Batman movie has none of these things. There is, possibly, a throwaway message about the importance of the family we make for ourselves over and above the family we are born into, but it's pretty facile. The main question The Lego Batman Movie asks is a far more important one, namely, how cool is Batman? And the answer is very. Very cool. Though it is an answer that must be earned.

I am 100% certain this will be at least the 6th best Batman movie of all time.

Took my son as soon as he got out of school today... he LOVED it. I thought it was pretty awesome too. They are doing a great job with these Lego movies!

Loved the Michael Jackson references. Tend to think the movie itself had too much going on with it though.

Do you think a 5 year old boy would be alright to sit through this one?

Saw it this morning. It was what I expected. A colorful, pun filled, animated comedy. It lulled a little in the middle when they had to move the story along, but it was plenty funny for kids and adults with a good bit of action.

My son is 6 and he was fine. Had to sit in dads lap for bit, but it kept his attention. The first 15-20 minutes are amazing.

Great movie. Not as good as the Lego Movie (but that bar is really high) but it's still a must-see.

The first half is drop-dead hilarious. Damn, it's funny. It's so funny, the last 1/3 doesn't quite match it. But that's when, you know, Batman learns a "lesson" and stuff.

I'd still give this an 8 or 9 out of 10.

"What's the password?"
"Iron Man sucks."

"My name is Richard Grayson, but the kids just call me Dick."
"Well, kids can be cruel sometimes."

So many inside jokes!

A few had me laughing out loud.

"DC. The house that Batman built" had me rolling before the movie even started.

Sorry, I'll crash the party. This movie was not that good. I mean I understand that this is a kid movie and all but perhaps a little plot would be nice, something besides explosions and quick camera cuts.

I loved the Lego Movie, this not so much.

I thought it was great. Kids loved it too. Had a great Suicide Squad joke and tons of super hero smacktalk.

Not really a spoiler but just in case....

All the villains were great - Gremlins, The Eye of Sauran, etc.

Yeah, the jab at suicide squad was awesome! Also loved the random villians... The Matrix agents were a nice nod as well as the other 80s and modern references.

Thought it was great. If anything the first half of the movie raised the bar too high for the second half. The message was genuinely delivered and hit home, I thought.

My kids loved it. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good add The Lego Movie. Will Arnett is maybe a top 3 Batman.

There was a plot...as much plot as any Batman movie ever created. But hate on.

I liked the line about joker dancing in a parade to a prince song.

Other than that and a few lines, it was just another movie trying to be "smart" for parents. This is why I don't watch animated crap anymore...I don't need cynical jokes to enjoy a movie. See: ratatouille or princess and the frog.

Ok for me. Not incredible. Not Redbox material. Good movie for a 10 year old.

I thought it was great. I wonder how much of the character was originally written vs. Will Arnett's embellishment.

I found myself falling asleep as they struggled to develop a plot. My 5 year old became restless. No where near as good as the Lego movie IMHO

Clearly illustrating you don't watch much "animated crap".
