Despite Supe's Ridicule…FUN!

Warning: Spoilers
Actually, I've had enough of Batman these days. Every time I watch one of the animated movies, he's okay… until he or the storyline starts to downgrade the greatest hero of our fictional time: Superman. This "movie" is no different.

That said and disregarding the display of Batman being a dick again to Superman, LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite is an absolute pleasure.

My roommate/landlord has played the game where the majority of these shots were side segments and he states some scenes were added to make it a full-fledged film…if you can call a 71 cartoon a "film." Since I have not played the game – whatever it's called, this entire video was brand new to me.

I loved almost every minute of this. Laughed hard, marveled a lot and actually enjoyed the journey of these characters lego'ized.

It was clever, fun and adventurous, despite the limitations of being just about Legos. And above all that, it was clever; just when I thought it had flaws, the movie sideswiped me and explained what I would normally criticize.

Basically, Lex Luthor and Joker team up so Lex can be President of the United States, but both Batman and hilarious Robin set out to expose his evil plots. Sometimes calling upon the likes of our lovable Justice League players.

Even if you're only mildly interested in either Batman, Legos or Animation, this is an absolute must see. Especially if you fall in that "mildly interested" category; it's only 71 minutes! That's not a lot of time invested.

You'll thank me. This was fun.
