Things I've Learned From the LEGO Batman Movie

1. Life doesn't give you seat belts (but they're a good idea anyway)
2. Everyone loves lobster thermidor.
3. Octogenarians can be superheroes too.
4. Orphans gotta stick together.
5. Sometimes "I hate you" is the nicest thing to say.

Overall it's not quite as good as the LEGO Movie, but that's only because they opted to ease back from the Joke-Every-Ten-Seconds format to actually try for some emotional depth. Which leads to...

6. Out of SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS of screen adaptations of Batman, this is the only one where he ACTUALLY DEALS WITH HIS DAMNED PROBLEMS

It was fun :)

I was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. ^_^ True, it could have done with more Catwoman, but, so it goes. But a superhero flick actually getting into themselves, and beneath that relentless grittiness? Inconceivable!

(Arrival was still better =:)
