True story: Back in 1989, when I was in elementary, there was a group of people passing out flyers outside of my school for BATMAN: THE MOVIE which was to show at a small local theater. Me, my cousins and our friends lost our shit, since the movie hadn't been released yet. So of course we went to the small theater the day of the showing. We were all excited and couldn't stay still as we sat in the theater waiting for the movie to start. When it finally did, we slowly began to realize that it wasn't the Tim Burton Batman, but the "weird" 1968 Batman movie. I had never seen so many children's hearts and hopes crushed all at once.
I would like to see John do a challenge where he eats as many sour patch kids as he can before vomiting! My guess 1000! Like so he can see this comment :)
My name is Patrick Bateman I am a complete lego which makes it harder to go through my morning routine. I brush my lego feet and eat my lego breakfast.
What about a Lego Shawshank Redemption movie? A Lego Pulp Fiction or a Lego Saving Private Ryan? Trying to think up some Lego movies that aren't the obvious answers.
John I used to do the same thing with my Lego sets, except I would always build the main model first and admire it for ten minutes before destroying it and making my own creations lol
Freaking loved this movie. Played with Legos a lot during my childhood & I love action. This movie was great because it combined the two & made this Lego stuff so serious SPOILER ALERT like when Bruce ran up to the roof, jumped off & the suit launched to him (similar to Iron Man) & when Alfred fell off it reminded me of practically every hero movie I've seen. Loved it
This was the most fun Batman movie since 1989. It was a tad overlong but that's a minor criticism. Such a terrific movie for all ages. Great review John.
does anyone remember bionicle? that shit has so much potential, it dark, a great legend story and actually thrilling. they were the only legos that actually had a real story behind it with those mini movies and i loved it

Got about 40 mins into the film on Saturday and the fire alarm went off and well had to vacate the building, only problem was the movie never paused and we missed 30 mins, so ended up leaving early with a refund, really was not happy as from what I'd seen, I was very impressed. Will be seeing it in its entirety (hopefully) tomorrow night and will have my review up by the weekend.
Literally what you said about making lego setups the box was the premise of the first lego movie except that movie taught that it's okay to follow the instructions because the main character started of non creative and generic.
I never set Legos up the way the instructions said, at least not for long. Back when I was a kid (less than twenty years ago), they were still toys. I played with my toys.
(in my Batman's voice) its alright Flick....you are NOT alone. You are someone like........."THE BATMAN" [silence...looking around, quickly turns back looking at you with a close up; giving a thumbs up only smiling for a moment, straight face]
I loved the movie. Seeing villains from other movies was cool, but I would have rather have seen more of the Batman villains. I also felt misled by a shot in a trailer I saw where the Justice League was marching toward the camera. They weren't really in action, and were more or less cameos. I loved the humor. The opening was probably my favorite.
4:39 yep was exactly me too Lego Halo Movie okay I'm probably alone here, but I just love Halo (and Hollywood is yet to make a Halo movie), and I think they could make Master Chief pretty hilarious in a similar way they did with Batman.
I think I agree. This was a fan service Lego & Batman film which I appreciated but those not big Batman fans like my Mom were bord by the film. I loved the first 30 to 40 minutes of the film but after that the pase of the film drastically slows down once Joker turns in all the villians. They showed all the cards early on so there were no surprises after the first 30 to 40 minutes. After watching the film I thought about it and I think that this film needed more of Bruce Wayne and less of Batman to give a better balance to the film. I loved the music to the Lego Batman film and the incorporation of elements of the previous reiterations of Batman.
My only complaint with the movie was even with every single WB villain in history, none of them really felt threatening. Once Batman got over having an emotional break down he cleaned house in like 3 minutes.
You see, I'm typically an incredibly lazy person, until it comes to Lego sets that is. Then I'm up for days building those things, fine-tuning them and everything.
Maybe they should do a short lego spoof of the A-Team? But as far as full movies go, they should do a Star Trek one focusing on either Spock or Sulu; that would be pretty funny.
Who's got the sickest back-flips? Batman! Seen plenty of hate on the beat boxing, but gotta say my kids loved it. They have a full "kids perspective" review on our channel.
Hi John, I fell your pain because I also was sadly incapable of finishing a Lego set with more than 10 pieces. I think is was due to my short attention span, I still have this issue now and can't seem to even finish RU-vid comments beyond
I'm surprised you saw John Wick 2 before seeing Lego Batman... Anyway, i want a lego superman, lego Formula 1, and lego Space Race movie with that 1980s astronaut from the Lego Movie
hey badass john i did the same things as you with legos i haven't seeing lego batman movie yet i just have to say your my fav movie revewer of all time i am also from indiana souther indiana keep up the badass work bro
I really enjoyed this movie! Once I heard about it, I had to go see it because one of my cousins loved Lego growing up and my late cousin was a big Batman fan.
I literally did the exact same thing as you with Legos as a kid, I would try to build according to the manual but by step 4 I would always get bored and stop, or maybe I'm just really stupid.
I always made my own shit with Legos too. Just like I never played GI Joe with my GI Joes or Star Wars with my Star Wars action figures always played stuff like making up my own movies or playing Friday the 13th with them or Hellraiser but I yeah
