Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (4 ):
Kids say (2 ):

For the most part, the creators of this entry in the marketing phenom that is Lego/DC Comics strive for both wit and originality; fortunately, they achieve some success at both. Madame Mantis, the brand's answer to karate and spiritual guru Mr. Miyagi, is funny, and not just because she's a gray-haired granny, but it helps. The polite, well-spoken species of Trogowogs, headed by the cowardly but ultimately wise Grungle, are fresh and engaging. Generally, Gotham City Breakout a fun movie for the Lego DC Comics Justice League franchise and, of course, will result in lots of new action figures, toys, and associated products. Kids see the movies, buy the toys, then buy more toys, and see new movies. It's can't-miss marketing. While very young kids could be frightened by the cacophonous sounds, the explosive comic action sequences, and the continuous threats to the heroes, this film is fine for fans who understand the violence is pretend.
