Lego Batman: Cheap in the mirror

If you like any work in the Lego series, then "Lego Batman" is probably the most interesting animated movie you have ever seen; and if not, then this is probably the most noisy/torturous animated movie you have ever seen .
But in any case, congratulations, you have seen the most successful big screen work in the entire category of DC comics adapted movies. Collecting and breaking up the entire Batman popular brand that has accumulated over several decades of one design and two design, as well as all the good stalks that can be unearthed, the resulting "Lego Batman" is naturally a work that directly meets the needs of the audience. Just as "Rogue One" is a detailed supplement to the main story of "Star Wars", "Lego Batman" is also a useful supplement to the image of Batman on the silver screen and on the screen: although it can't reach an amazing height, it still It's a big surprise-Warner Bros. must realize that (comic) fans don't always need a dark fan, let alone a big director's personal creativity being violently interfered by a big studio.
Of course, as an animated film with "Lego" and "Warner" genes, "Lego Batman" is not without its shortcomings: 105 minutes is a bit too long, especially the long and bloated third act. At the same time, due to the nature of "Lego", the entire animation will feel a little messy. The material enough to make two or even three movies is simmered in a pot. For those inexperienced audiences, they will not only remember stepping on Lego blocks. The feet hurt and can cause headaches.
As an animated film that is least Batman and the most Batman, "Lego Batman" shows an extraordinary level of creation: it finds a good balance between comedy and drama, and at the same time is not as deep as the pretending DCEU. "Lego Batman" provides well-powered and basic entertainment resources, full of emotion and clear logic, and there are many catchy word play puns and other comedy stories.
This is not only what we should have, but also the DC comics adapted film we need.


Released in 2014, "The Lego Movie" is the first attempt of the "Lego" circle to enter mainstream entertainment. It benefits from the freshness of form and technology, the unpretentious and unpretentious plot, and the seamless transfer of personal values ​​and father-son emotions. , Has achieved dazzling success. To this day, "The Lego Movie" is still the purest entertainment movie in recent years.
Compared with its predecessor, "Lego Batman" is not as stunning as it is, but it is still a smart, rhythmic, self-aware and satisfying animated film. This is far better than the 100-minute animated sequel that takes the most interesting supporting roles in the first movie right up and fills them with boring and self-repetitive materials. Because "Lego Batman" only uses the Lego animation style, it looks lively and colorful. It is more energetic and full of life than any previous Batman adaptations (whether real or animated).
From the first LOGO, "Lego Batman" has adopted a witty way to tease the audience's aesthetic fatigue on superhero movies-especially the aesthetic fatigue on their own dark systems. After Phil Rod and Christopher Miller, the masters of "The Lego Movie", switched to "Han Solo Gaiden", the successor Chris McKay was obviously a very correct choice: as the "Robot Chicken" series The important veteran of the veteran, this kind of neural knife comedy that includes neta is easy to come by, and the "Robot DC Special", which was born in the past 12 years, is an interesting expansion and extension of the comic universe. Although the overall tone is very close to the bold exaggeration of Adam West's 66 version of the TV series, and even a bit absurd, the story above the basic line is the best guarantee to prevent the film from showing its timidity.
Under the guarantee of first-class production level, audiences of different levels can find familiar stalks-do you know the big and small (and spoof) villains of Gotham City? Do you know Darek? Do you know Sauron? Do you know King Kong? Know Voldemort? ——These contents take this movie to another interesting level. The flexible use of a large number of real-life images is quite transcendent, and the sound effects of shooting are also continued from the "pew pew pew" of "The Lego Movie". Even more ingenious is the soundtrack. Under the treatment of the soundtrack engineer Lorne Buffy, the soundtrack of "Lego Batman" contains a super high content of nostalgic elements. The theme song of the 66 version of the TV series is ubiquitous, and the musical elements of the 89 version of "Batman" created by Tim Burton's long-term collaborator Danny Yefman have been fully tributed, not to mention Hans Zimmer. "Black Knight" series and the string subwoofer created by DCEU. In addition, there are the ubiquitous "Mr. Sweetheart" soundtrack and Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror". Even the lone doorbell of Fortress of Lonely is from the theme of John Williams' "Superman" of.
In terms of dubbing, Will Arnett’s cold-faced qualities are once again well conveyed through the animation dubbing. The bluff that Batman’s touch is broken into scum is just right. This is what he said in "Ma Nanbo "Jack" is another widely accepted typical image (although the live-action performance is not worse than other comedians, it is very interesting in "Hindered Development" and the recent appearance of "Baudelaire Distress"). Michael Serra’s Robin is still sprouting (and sprouting), but Zach Galifianakis’s role as a clown loses some of its character, which is a bit disappointing.
In other roles, seemingly mediocre but star-studded, comedy coffee and pop coffee can not be listed one by one, just to mention one example of the return of the 89 version of Harvey Dent & Lando Carrisin.


Although not as subversive as the "Lego Movie", the self-deprecating spirit and refusal to serious tonality made "Lego Batman" one of the most entertaining (animated) movies of 2017. In general, "Lego Batman" provides enough action scenes and humorous sentences for ordinary audiences. At the same time, it also nets a lot of popular culture and years of Batman jokes for audiences with more knowledge background. For those who have just met the role of Batman, this is a very interesting step-up guide.
Compared with the popular serious and dark current live action movies, "Lego Batman" provides an extremely enjoyable superhero farce, and its positive contribution to the entire DC brand far exceeds any Zach Schneider's work. Over the years, we have seen too many things that force the team: Marvel fans complain that DCEU movies are gorgeous and heavy, pretending to be deep, and the DC party in turn ridiculed the pediatrics and lack of depth of Marvel movies. But now it seems that Lego Batman, which is dedicated to madness and pays tribute to the Batman IP for decades, is likely to be the jewel of the palm that can satisfy both camps at the same time.

If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and make a change. Uuuuh
