What happens when you take everyone’s favorite childhood building materials and everyone’s favorite childhood superhero and combine them together for a movie? That’s right! It’s Lincoln Log Superman! What a strange rebirth of the franchise that turned out to be. Anyway, we watched the LEGO Batman movie this week. The second in the line of LEGO animated films and the first to feature music by Harry Nilsson (as far as I can recall). Oh and before we begin…I’M BATMAN (that doesn’t really work unless you can hear the voice).
Our scores:
John: 4
Glenn: 3.5
Cameron: 3
Total: 10.5 out of 15 (we might hold out for the LEGO Gamera film, but for now you could do worse things with your time than seeing this film)
