Thank You Critics You Took The Fun Out of The Lego Batman Movie

Note: Small Spoiler to The Lego Batman Movie. You Have Been Warned.


Sorry if the title sounds like clickbait it was the best I could come up with.

Let me just explain something first I originally didn't want to write this but with all the critics talking about The Lego Batman Movie as of late I just needed to get this off my chest.



So in case you haven't noticed The Lego Batman Movie has gotten a lot of love in only a couple of days. Both fans of either The Lego Movie or Batman loved it and critics have been saying some positives things about it which they should the film is indeed very enjoyable. The problem I've been having recently is the freaking critics taking cheap pot shots at either Zack Snyder(the director of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice & the upcoming Justice League film) or the DC Extended Universe in general. For some reason the critics think this is what every DC film should be for now on. Seriously they have written articles with titles like "The Lego Batman Movie Puts the DC Extended Universe to Shame" or "The Lego Batman Movie: Proof a Good Justice League Can Happen" and yes those are actually titles to real articles. Let's talk about that second article's title how is a Lego movie which is basically a parody of DC superheroes proof that the Justice League film coming out in November is the right way to make a good movie. That's like saying Mortal Kombat X is proof Street Fighter V is awesome they are two different products that's not "proof" of anything. Also if you're saying the Justice League film should have Batman doing all the work to keep the planet safe while the other members of the league throw a party they you sir have terrible writing skills. What I'm trying to say is I'm sick of almost every critic putting this movie in such a high standard yes the movie is bright, hilarious, and fun to watch but that doesn't mean the DC Extended Universe should be exactly like The Lego Batman Movie. The reason why Batman acts the way he does in this movie and not Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is because in The Lego Movie it was established a child made this world with his imagination. Now I'm not saying we should hold the DC Extended Universe on such a high horse. We should give the franchise fair & constructive criticism just like every other film that Hollywood gives us and not ignore the problems the films have. I did have issues with Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad but I wouldn't go as far to say that are the worst superhero films to exist(looking at you Batman & Robin and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace). Anyhow that's all I wanted to say and yeah go out see The Lego Batman Movie.



Side Note: Somebody on Tumblr wrote what I thought was a pretty good post on the critics of The Lego Batman Movie and how there is no "definitive" version of these characters
