The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

The movie was great at the beginning. The film starts of with an adrenaline rush of laughter but half way through the film and it was just went too much. The film went all big showed all it's cards at the beginning so much so that there were no further surprises after the first 30 minutes of the film so anything else that comes after the first thirty minutes is no longer a surprise.

I though that this film did a great job understanding the genre of Batman but after a particular point it just came too much. It went too quick to go too far as far as the jokes. The film did not know where to stop. The end resolution was ridiculous.

I enjoyed & liked the fact that this film at least understood the Batman genre. It was obvious that a lot of research and fandom went into this film as far as the story, the characters, incorporated obscure villains, the obscure details from the previous reiterations, even up to the film score that incorporated elements and ques from the previous reiterations of Batman. Especially in the track "Battle Royale" done by Lorne Balfe. Great film score as well as the other songs in this film soundtrack. 

I enjoyed the fact that this film was able to incorporate obscure villains and references of the previous Batman reiterations.

The depiction of the action was extraordinary.

I was disappointed by how little there was so little of the Justice League. I did want to see more than just a party scene. I wanted to see more interaction.

This one did more psychoanalyze Batman/Bruce Wayne family issues.

This film went from high energy to a sudden dip because went so high. It was like the film started off with someone drinking a energy drink like Hammy in the Over the Hedge film but then eventually after you have a party the audience is like okay we have heard that. We went so high that there was no where else to go but down.

This film had far too many jokes and gets exhausting and too much. I think it would have been better if there were a little more serious issues intermixed to the laughter to keep it focused.

I wish that this film worked more on the other villains besides the Joker. This film had so many villains but not enough to get you invested in the other villains besides The Joker.

This film did draw on too long on too much drawings.

There may have been just a touch too much talking roles by Batman.

I wish we saw a little more of Bruce Wayne and less of Batman. This film had plenty of Batman and not enough focus on the villains. 

This film understands his distance he tries to get from the rest of society so he does not emotionally invested in other people.

Those who suffer from ADHD, are not big fans of Lego or Batman may not be a fan of this film because they will not understand the references.

It's a good review, and I agree with the majority of what you've said. I have a question, though. Why do you wish the movie took a little bit of a more serious theme? I understand that it'd keep a focus as you've mentioned, but as a child's move (7+) do you not think the humour could be excused for the sake of the younger audience? 
But as I said previously, good review and structured opinions, it's this sort of thing i'd want to read for a thoughtful and quick to the point review!
