The Lego Batman Movie

This is a very silly piece of fluff, but never the less kinda enjoyable. The film does take the approach of "cram every possible joke into the film", many of which probably will go over then head of non-Bat-Fans, but enough of them hit that it makes this a fun, if somewhat frenetic, film. Taking the egocentric Lego Batman from supporting character to the centre of his own film is somewhat risky, as it does leave us with a protagonist who's more mockable than usual, but I kinda enjoyed his overgrown childishness. And if the basic plot progression (as he learns he can't be isolated all the time) is somewhat predictable and it's very difficult to take this as anything more than a 100-minute or so goof, it doesn't completely wear out its welcome by the end.
