In case anyone's curious, the song from the beginning of the movie is on Youtube

The overall music and songs in the movie are terrific IMO.

Saw it earlier tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it, definitely seeing it again.
Unfortunately the theater ran out of the LEGO sets that were supposed to come with tickets right before we arrived. Also our 3D showing was changed to a 2D showing sometime between buying the tickets online and arriving at the theater.
Is there really supposed to be a short before the movie? There wasn't at my showing.

The Penguin mini-fig is actually shorter than regular mini-fig sizes? That's genius!
Yup! LEGO accomplishes this by using shorter legs. The torso and heads are the same size though.
I can't wait to see this movie! Going this morning.
There wasn't a short before mine. Maybe the cribs short on YouTube?
And no lego sets at our theater, but they did do giveaways based on seat number (they said it's regular to do giveaways for imax at this theater). I won a child's hat for my son

Don't know which one is you, but great job!
I say yes
My Cineworld is like that as well, the only evening times currently are 18:20 and 20:50 which are both IMAX 3D which I don't really want to pay extra for.
Probably as its half term next week so they are having more times in the day for all the children off school. So I may have to suffer and go at the weekend in the day.

Enjoyed it very much. It's a small thing but I loved how Batman kept saying

My son was sitting with his mouth wide open in amazement for the duration.

I was thinking about that this morning and I loved that little touch too. It was all the little things that made this movie so special. Just like at the beginning when he calls in the Batmobile and he says
"Overcompensate" in reference to "Intimidate" from The Dark Knight

Yeah the small moments made the movie. Something that all the adults in my showing laughed at was:
"You've been watching way too many Lifetime movies and drinking Chardonnay"
"It's Pinot Grigio, sir."
"Whatever!"
"It's Pinot Grigio, sir."
"Whatever!"

Kind of a tangent but the opening day numbers in France are pretty terrible. The Lego Movie didn't do all that great outside of America so I wonder where this one will end up. I'm sure it'll do fine in the US though.

Lego is the best cinematic universe.
Better then deadpool's intro? I'm excited even more if that is true!

Planning on taking the kids to the drive-in tomorrow to see it, I'm looking forward to it.
Where are you at that there's still some drive-ins?
That, and
the celebrations of no more crime in Gotham quickly devolving into things on fire on the street
Unrelated, did anyone catch how (villain spoiler)
the Wicked Witch was defeated? Sauron and the swamp thing went against each other, King Kong got exploded by something, but I never noticed the Wicked Witch do much or fight anyone.
There are probably some but I can't remember any offhand. Guns make vocalized PEW PEW sound effects which is similar.
Some other miscellaneous thoughts:
* Jemaine Clement is really getting around these days. He was in Moana and now this.
* I didn't care for some of the vocal songs besides the starting one, but the Batman music from Dark Knight trilogy was great. The hold music gag for example. And I LOVED every time Batman looked at (character spoiler)
Barbara and I JUST DIIIIIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT started with the super blur
* The Bane voice reminded me a lot of the Bane parody by Auralnauts, but it's not the same person.
* For some reason a joke that made me laugh really loudly was
the spit take, both times. The first time I was expecting him to smash the glass or something and was totally blindsided.

All I can say is after all these years
Loved it, and the crowd I saw it with loved it too.
, I'm really glad Conan O'Brien got to be part of this, the guy loves 1966 Batman to a ridiculous degree.

My review is up should anyone care to read it.

The only thing I can think of is Batman is still a master-builder.
Also if this works, one of the songs from the movie that shows how well they work in all the diff musical homages

Grab The Scuttler while you're at it.
So after half a day of thinking about it, I'm not sure this is the best Batman movie ever.
I will say though that it's certainly a testament to Batman fans disguised as a children's movie. Like there's a lot of jokes in here and references that children will in no way understand but Batman fans will laugh considerably for.
I really wonder, with the rapid-fire rate of jokes in the first half of the movie, how many I missed.
OH! I forgot! I absolutely loved how they used someone impersonating

Tom Hardy for the Bane voice. I got a GOOD laugh out of the reckoning line he pulls right from Dark Knight Rises.
It definitely takes place in the same universe, like Batman is a master builder, but there don't seem to be any specific references to the Lego Movie.

Amazing movie, couldnt stop laughing.
So many nods to everything batman, as someone who worked on the DC scribblenauts as an artist, I was laughing my ass off when the whole rogue gallery appeared. "Look it on google!" Hahahaha.
The spanish voice acting was great, but some fucking turd at Warner Bros Spain decided to add his fucking spanish actor/directors friends and the voices of Superman, Alfred and Harley sounded like ASS!
The rest is super good but those, I was facepalming everytime I heard them talk, holy shit. The worst thing is the take the job to actual professionals that hate when this happen. And this are the typical guys that then cry becuase not so many people go and see spanish movies where they work. The fucking irony.
I thought
was the most obscure thing there.
Also
was AMAZING.

amazing job at that. lmao he even somehow made uranium work in the conversation.
Anyways I'd prolly rate this a 7/10 but as a big Batman fan it would bump up to an 8.5 due to the sheer amount of fan service we get here.
It starts off so freaking good, like from the opening studio logos already I'm laughing and it's such a great love letter to the franchise. Loved how the opening music sounded a lot like Nolan trilogy music (and TDK WB logo too :whew
and also I heard shades of the latest Snyder stuff with Junkie XL. For like a good portion of the film (all the way up to the fortress of solitude bit) it felt like what Hot Fuzz was to buddy cop movies. Very humorous and observant take on batman, DC and gotham city. Unfortunately later on, much like the Lego Movie, it drastically veers into the usual kids film and hammers the life lessons and point of the story. I still enjoyed the rest of the movie quite a bit but I wish we got more of the mundane Batman shit like him watching movies at home or heating up his dinner. I get that humor like that is too dry for kids though. So it's understandable.- was dope that they brought back Hardy's Bane voice
- Batman's batcave password is great, the stuff with justice league (superman references were dope too) and robin and alfred was all so good. Found barbara gordon to be kinda meh though
- can't be stressed enough how dope I found the opening 20-25 minutes.
gonna buy the bluray day one for sure. was really cool to see visual representations of Snyder-verse Batman, through Nolan trilogy, all the way to Timm, Burton and Adam West in lego form. I geeked out like mad during this movie.

Great movie
The references and jokes are amazing for all audiences.
Tonnes of characters, cameos, one-liners, callbacks to other Batman movies
Was surprised at how awesome some of the setpieces looked - especially the batcave and
The only things that I didn't really like was Harley's VA and things got a little too silly.

not good
average
Kinda felt like they were distancing those characters from DCEU versions.
Did they even do the red/blue Harley hair from SS?
96%.
It wasn't him, unless you just mean the style of voice.
For a new page, did anyone see what happened to the villain
Wicked Witch? I never saw her do anything or get defeated that I can remember. The flying monkeys were just swarming a bit?
