There is a fun sense of humor permeating each scene, meaning that if the vivid sets and cute action don't entertain you will still be smiling. He should have let a couple of scenes speak for themselves, but it's still good enough to warrant a release on CD. Rob Westwood's score, while very entertaining, does get a little overbearing at time though. Builders will get lots of ideas when watching this movie. Director Jon Burton (no relation to Tim) uses many atmospheric locations that look wonderfully photo-realistic, while building as much of the world as possible with actual Lego bricks. It's not an original framing device, but it was better than I was expecting. Skipping back a couple of days, the story of their dire situation unfolds. If only Bats had the humility to ask the rest of the Justice League for help.

Opening with Danny Elfman's brilliant Batman theme (no offense to Zimmer but Warner knows that fans prefer this version), we learn that Lex Luthor and Joker have teamed up and have gained the upper hand over Bats and Supes. I was fully expecting nothing but a feature-length cut-scene but was surprised at how cinematic it actually is. Having never seen nor played any of the Lego movies or video games this was my first venture into their blocky incarnation of various franchises.
