All the Marvel superheroes and everything else are made out of LEGOS. It is more focused on Batman as a man and other heroes like Robin, Wonder Woman, Superman, the Green Lantern and many others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">This move has a mix of comedy which I\u2019ve noticed is in every LEGO movie. It has action, adventure, great actors and even a lifelong lesson &#8211; sometimes you can\u2019t do things all by yourself, you need help. There are some pretty cool structures and machines. All these structures are built out of LEGO bricks so you can really build them yourself if you knew how!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">The adventure begins when Bruce Wayne wins the &#8220;Man of the Year&#8221; award. If you don\u2019t know who Bruce Wayne is, he is Batman undercover. Then the Joker commits a crime and Batman and Robin have to capture him once again. As they are trying to achieve their goal, Superman helps him. Batman gets annoyed with Superman but at the end they work together and call in all the superheroes to defeat the Joker<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">What I love about this funny, action-packed film is how it shows the relationship between Robin and Batman as somewhat difficult. This isn\u2019t very good for a side-kick and a hero. Also, it shows all the heroes&#8217; powers like Superman\u2019s strength and Batman\u2019s throwing skills. The best part for me is how everything is made out of LEGOS. And, as in most LEGO movies, there are cool animations, good action and great voiceover actors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">My favorite scene is when the bat cave gets destroyed. It&#8217;s action-packed and shows Joker\u2019s funny side with his strange humor and his pie bombs. Superman helps them. But the Joker and his partner Lex, who is running for president and using Joker to win the election, gets away. Would you like to know how he was able to defeat Superman\u2019s power? Get a copy of this wonderful film and find out!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\">I recommend this film for ages 3 and up. There\u2019s no violence or harsh language in this movie. \u201cLEGO Batman: the Movie &#8211; DC Superheroes Unite\u201d is extremely kid-friendly. I give this movie 5 out 5 stars. You can find it on DVD everywhere now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want a positive film that portrays teamwork and friendship for your superhero loving or LEGO loving child?
