Lego DC Batman: Family Matters

Stunning CGI but it's just for kids. I liked the other one better. This one couldn't hold my attention for too long. But it's very well made!

It's hard to say what the point of this movie is. It lacks the grit of the animated Batman movies with similar stories, and has at best a very tame version of the satire of the mainstream Lego Batman movies, or even the games.

You could say it is a good entry level film for kids, but it does really require at least some knowledge of the Batman universe due to the multiple characters who don't have any sort of introduction. The story definitely assumes that you know your Batman and yet doesn't try to do all that much original.

Having said that it is not a bad movie, it's a fine story and will definitely entertain any child fan. If there werent multiple other better versions of this then it would probably be pretty good, but as it is, it just seems unnecessary.

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.

It is a funny movie. The characters are presented in a friendly way inviting various quality jokes. Batman wears his traditional costume (Adam West type) and it's a welcome tribute. Here the main generator of jokes is Batman and that is appreciated; the current way of presenting the character as a traumatized and vindictive being is far from the character we grew up with. Ideal to watch and have fun.
