Lego DC Batman: Family Matters

After being bored with a board meeting after stopping Solomon Grundy from stealing a magic staff, Bruce Wayne puts a new machine revealed, Brother Eye, in charge, as he proceeds to sell Wayne Tech. However, this leads to Two-Face buying the company, and plotting to use Brother Eye to take other Gotham and destroy both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Also, Red Hood has arrived to challenge the Bat Family.

While some people may not like this, this is actually a good film for kids who are not yet ready for films like the ones in the DCEU or the Dark Knight Trilogy. As a result of this being a Lego DC movie, they did change Red Hood's origin story to be more kid-friendly, however, seeing as the Lego DC films are part of their own continuity, it should not be a problem. Also, the movie has some good references to classic Batman shows and cartoons (one scene has the bat poles from the 1966 Batman series, complete with automatic suit up, and another scene has a Grey Ghost playing as Batman and Two-Face duel with swords, a neat reference to the episode from Batman: The Animated Series).

However, there can be some annoying things (Nightwing and Batgirl keep bringing up a missed text that got them on non-speaking terms, which they never shut up about), but this is a good DTV movie and one that is perfect for younger kids or anyone into Lego or superheroes.

LEGO DC Batman: Family Matters (2019) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a villain known as Red Hood who wants to tear apart Batman and his friends - Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Alfred. Red Hood will be aided by Two-Face, Scarecrow and other legendary villains. Can Batman and team stop this mysterious villain? This movie is directed by Matt Peters (Lego DC: Aquaman) and contains the voices of Tara Strong (Loki), Christian Lanz (Coco), Troy Baker (Batman: The Long Halloween), Tom Kenny (Transformers) and Jason Spisak (Piranha 3D). The storyline for this is very entertaining and does a great job of delivering Red Hood while mixing in other key members of the Batman universe. The animation is excellent as is the dialogue. The fight scenes are awesome and I loved how the Scarecrow was depicted. The Bruce Wayne vs Batman conclusion was also clever and well executed. Overall this is an entertaining film worth your time that I would score a solid 6.5-7/10.

The amount of people over analysing this movie is ridiculous.

It's LEGO for chrissakes, it's literally made for ten year olds, yet most people reviewing it here would think it had been entered for the Palm D'or at Cannes!

Stop trying to sound like you're writing a dissertation for a degree in negative film criticism and maybe watch something in your comfort zone, as films that are made for children don't seem to be your thing.

Oh, and giving a movie a low score because you didn't like a particular voice actor is not the point of these reviews, it's childish and unnecessary. It lowers ratings, and puts off people who would otherwise watch it, i.e children, who it was intended for.

My kids, who DO fit the target audience loved it, and I thought it was quite funny too.

If you're ten, then you'll love it, if you're a disgruntled twentysomething who thinks their opinion is of great importance and must be shared with the world, then you're probably better off with whatever's being shown at Montreaux or Sundance.

Although Troy Baker and the rest of the cast are giving their best to deliver great performances - it's not enough to save the movie from it's terrible writing, which includes the story, characters and dialogue as well as the mediocre and forgettable music.

While the animation is not as appealing as the theatrically released LEGO movies in "The Lego Movie" franchise - it's still very impressive to look at, even if people complaint that it looks more like a low-budget movie or a video game quality cutscene that the LEGO games have today. The sound is great, but it does include some stock sound effects that can be found in many terrible animated movie (also in comedy movies) and the cinematography is also great, however there was a moment where Batgirl falls from a great high in her hallucination, which was caused by The Scarecrow and for some reason they cut to six different shots of the same falling and it looks very bad.

Overall it was a enjoyable movie, but contains flaws, which can really ruin the experience for a lot of people and i don't think that many would want to watch it again after the first viewing, but even with it's problems - i'll still revisit the movie again in the future and "LEGO DC: Batman - Family Matters" gets a 4.6/10.

If you an adult hoping this will keep your attention, it's a LEGO movie... you should know what to expect. It's appropriate for my 9 yr old and that's about all that matters.
