SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Eye_MD_B Superhero movies are there to inspire our inner-child-dreams of fulfilling that potential which society kept suppressed in order for us to contribute to it.An amateur Lego persiflage of such a superhero movie makes sense because it takes the metaphorical superpowers not serious.But what is the point to simulate the fun of dilettantish Lego puppet games by animating them in 3D including facial expressions? Ah yes, the point of course is for the industry to suck as much money out of the market as possible, just as they did with Wallace and Gromit when the rendered the charming modelling clay animations.But - as pleased as parents are to know that they can drop of their kids in front of such "family-proof" movies - they should reconsider that the times when kids play with glove puppets or rather with the boxes than with the actual plastic-gifts - those are the times when their fantasy is most active and engaged, so that the games are the most pleasant psychotherapy kids could have - reliving their experiences through playing.But spoon-fed stories which don't at all require imaginations or active engagements anymore will make the kids creativity shrivel as much as their sense of self, so that they one day will end up as spineless couch-potatoes who barely get along with todays requirements rather than being innovative and a person of character.And what do such people dream of in the end? Right - of secretly being a superhero. And this is where we came full circle and you could start reading this review from the beginning again.

batbhai Troy Baker seems to be fitting the boots of Kevin Conroy as Batman ("Batman: Arkham City"). Nolan North was also brilliant in lending his voice as Superman. The chemistry of Batman and Superman was very nice. I like Batman suspecting Supes through out the movie. Those two really stood out in terms of voice acting. There are laughs for kids especially Lex Luthor stricken with lightening. Unlike most Batman movies, it is a tad on the light side . The fight scenes were tailor-made for the Justice League and the live action was fun. The graphics were dazzling! Khary Payton, as Cyborg, was overacting throughout the movie and was killing the script.My significant digit score: 7.5/10

Shawn Watson I was pleasantly surprised with the previous Lego DC movie but this one ditches the clever narrative and framing and gives us a very watered-down and simple story.Bizarro (Superman's cloned opposite) tries to do good around Metropolis but ends up only causing mayhem and embarrassment. Supes then takes him to Bizarro World (get used to that annoying word because they use it as a noun for many things) where he can do no harm.In the meantime the Justice League go about their daily crime fighting business uninterrupted. For contrived, and forgettable reasons, the League go back to Bizarro World to fight Darkseid who is threatening to destroy (or at least reconfigure) the galaxy with his opposite ray (or whatever it was) - turning the round moon of Earth into a cube, for example.Bizarro clones his own opposite Justice League and you'll have a hard time remembering who is who because of their virtually identical names, which I am not going to repeat here because I simply cannot be bothered making the effort.It's very poorly written and deeply uninspired. The first movie had its crazy moments it also had smart humor, while this sequel many just goes for stupidity. It's quick and it's easy and it's also insulting to kids who are capable of consuming a better story. The movie is also void of any real atmosphere. The Gotham City of the first movie was on par with The Lego Movie in terms of detail and scope. Here we have a virtually depopulated Metropolis and an empty, barren wasteland planet. It's so boring to look at. You'll get no ideas or inspiration for building any sets from this, although Deathstroke's vehicle is pretty cool for all of the five seconds it is on screen. Composer Tim Kelly also ditches the familiar Batman and Superman themes, instead opting to give us an extremely generic cartoon score.This movie is pure filler, and ends with a cliffhanger for a 3rd which I hope will be a return to form.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.5/5 starsBreezy, superhero fun that's especially a treat for kids and adults who grew up on comic books. It harks back to a time that was simpler, more innocent, and campier – akin to the old cartoon shows based on these iconic characters. The animation, too, is more than decent considering that this isn't a staple DC, direct-to-home, video feature, but more of a commercial tie-in with a popular toy franchise.Overall, if you're a fan of superhero movies, comic book enthusiast, or ever played with LEGOs, you're sure to dig this short-and-snappy home- video.
