This one was less sketchy since it was clear they hadn't worked together before.

Loved the humor and jokes as well as the voice cast. The upcoming Ninjago (however you spell it) looks promising as well.

Is the

giant sea monster
the Cloverfeield monster
No, it's supposed to be the
Kraken from the original Clash of the Titans

Saw it, liked it.
I don't think it's as good as The Lego Movie, but my kids think it's better.
Including the Ninjago trailer seems like a smart idea to me. Had they not shown it, I would have just assumed it to be a complete retread of the tv series and totally ignored it.

Saw this movie on the 12th with a friend and we ending up liking this movie a lot. It's not better than the Lego movie but it was still good, but I think the audience loved this movie laughing hard at every joke.
This movie was clearly crafted out of love so many call backs and references to Batman you might have missed some stuff like

the classic suit was next to the Reggie suit or that Robin changed into the knighting, and least we forget polkadot man
I agree completely. I would have ignored the film entirely, but it actually looks promising.

I quite enjoyed this. I'm one of the few people on the planet that didn't fall in love with The Lego Movie but this was a considerable step up, at least in my eyes.

I thought the movie was decent (6/10).
Try way to hard to be funny at some parts, but the animation was top notch. I enjoy the countless references. Wish they were a bit Clever tho.

It was good but I don't understand is this movie in the same world as the lego movie? No references to it or I couldn't understand if this takes place separately. I liked it though, it was funny the third act is a bit weaker and I hope we do see another sequel because I want to see more robin.
Also...
This wasn't in the movie... That bummed me out, along with a few other scenes in the trailers. A solid 7.5/10 for me

Yuuup. That was the movie's moment similar to the ending reveal of The Lego Movie.

I really liked Galifinakis' Joker actually. I thought he did a really good job.
General Zod
send Batman to the Phantom Zone.
Nice catch!
And not related to your post, I thought the monster was supposed to be from
Jason and the Argonauts?
I'm pretty sure at the start whenn they are explaining that Gotham would fall into a bottomless pit like the one from the LEGO movie if there was a big enough explosion, they had some footage of Emmat falling down in the infinite abyss from the lego movie. I could be wrong though.

I loved this movie so much. Had a stupid grin on my face the whole time.
Only downside is that I wasn't a fan of the Joker's voice acting. Probably my second least favorite portrayal, above the Young Justice one.

Wonderful, wonderful movie. Although it was extremely funny, I loved just how great it's central plot and message was; it was a character story based on relationships, something it did better than any of the MCU movies (and it obliterates the other modern DC movies in quality so much it is outright shocking). That final shot before the end credits is the single best shot ever put in a Batman movie, and it's not even a shot of Batman doing something cool, but something that encapsulates the motivation of Batman and why it makes him a great person as opposed to a monster.
My only issues were: Zod was introduced as being sent to the Phantom Zone, but never reappeared; and the Justice League never showed up after the party. I kept expecting Zod to show up as a last minute boss for the Justice League to take care of during the final battle as the Bat-family took care of the rest; but it was left hanging as a plot hole. Also, Joker and Harley's voice acting were weak.

Caught it earlier tonight. Absolutely wonderful and lived up to the hype. We desperately need more smart, positive and anti-cynical films like this instead of the braindead Transformers-esque garbage blockbusters that get released. Shits all over DCEU's output completely (which isn't a hard feat) and is probably the best Batman film ever.

I'm a huge Batman fan. He's easily one of my favorite superheroes and I follow the character almost religiously through all his different incarnations (animation, film, comics, etc.)
That being said...I really didn't care for this film. I honestly started to fall asleep (maybe I was just tired...?) toward the end of it. I understand it's a kids movie, but I would have like a weeeee bit more for adults.

I went to see this on a Sunday afternoon and also fell asleep midway.
It was enjoyable for both kids and adults since we get more references of the characters introduced through out the film. I got a huge headache after watching it though, too much animation for me I guess.
DeathoftheEndless
Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
This was a fun movie throughout, but I didn't love it. I thought the unexpected villains didn't add a whole lot and were kind of unnecessary when Batman already has some ridiculous enemies. And the sappy emotional parts weren't that effective. There were more than enough hilarious moments and homages to make up for it though.

Disliked the trailers, but really liked the movie.
Better than the OG Lego movie in my mind. Wifey agreed.

This sums it up for me as well. I kept going teetering between being entertained to being bored. Just not a very good movie.

Agreed 100%
The beginning was kool & funny, then the middle dragged with "depressed" and "I'm a loner" batMan, concluding with a sappy "everyone is friends(inc bad guys)" ending.
Also I think many of the jokes were written for adults, like when Batman first meets Robin and says:
Batman: "What's your name kid?"
Robin: "I'm Grayson, but my friends call me 'Dick'"
Batman: "Kids can be so cruel"
I was one of the few people in the theater that got the reference lol.

Just got back. Absolutely loved it, it's probably my favourite Batman film now. It's definitely tied with Mask of the Phantasm anyway.

I have absolutely no interest in Batman, but I loved The Lego Movie. I nearly fell asleep three times during this yesterday.
Liked it but didn't love it like The Lego Movie. I wanted to like it more but I just couldn't.
Them actually saying the sound effects was killing me. The 'PEW PEWS' and 'BANG BANG' always got me.
Tbh, I kinda want a movie where live action Batman is just genuinely happy after seeing this movie.

Saw this yesterday with my 5 year old daughter she enjoyed it. I could tell she was bored in some spots. Her favorite part was the microwave scene? Lol
For me I didn't really like it. The bright spot for me was Micheal Cerra as Robin. I actually fell asleep a few times. Second movie to ever do that, the prior was The Haunted Mansion. This movie is a lot better then that it just never clicked with me.

This movie was so good. And it was about time that we had a really comedic and self-aware take on Batman and his universe.
The trailers did mislead us into thinking the justice league was going to be in this (actually fighting together).

just saw this it was good
Really disappointed in this. It started off strong, but quickly loses steam after the opening, to the point where I was struggling to stay awake about an hour in.
The jackass Batman schtick just isn't enough to carry an entire movie and actually was actively annoying by the end.
It's too bad, because The Lego Movie is one of the better children's films of the last decade.

As a lapsed Batman fan I really got a kick out of them roasting the shit out of the character and deconstructing him. It was also nice to see the Batfamily working together on the big screen after so long. As a piece of pure fanservice this was like a 9 for me, but as an actual movie it's like a 7 if that makes sense.

I loved the movie despite Zach's poor mans Joker. My wife loved the beginning but thought the last third was boring. It was hard to pay attention to the fight scenes according to her. I actually liked it more than the Lego movie. Probably because I don't like Will Ferrell.

Rather underwhelmed by it... bored after the initial sequence, the humor missed with me more than it hit, and I found batman himself to be too one-note / unlikeable... :-/

Fantastic movie, and probably my favourite batman.
I believe it was actually "But kids in orphanage call me 'Dick'" - which made it that much funnier.

Surprised at the mixed reactions hmmm, i think if you sort of have to be a Batman fan though, or at least be somewhat knowledgeable about his "lore" to catch most of the references. That said, for me personally, it truly was the best Batman movie ever and one of the greatest animation/CGI movies ever made. When it clicks with you, it really hits the point home.
