I just watched it.
It may just be the best Batman movie they ever made.

I thought it was clever that they used the coincidence of both mothers being named Martha and made something out of it. Of all the female names out there it always seemed weird that both dead moms of DC's big two heroes would both have the same name. I think it was Martha Wayne who's name was originally Mary before it was changed.
Also Martha's not as common of a name as it was say seventy years ago.
I don't know why people made a big fuss out of the Martha scene. Anyone would be freaked out if this alien dude you are about to whack says "Save [Your Dead Mom's Name]". It's only as cringeworthy as Iron Man trying to kill Bucky in the climax of Civil War despite knowing fully well Bucky was brainwashed and victimized himself.
Just left the IMAX NYC Premiere of the film and I loved it from beginning to end. It was my second time seeing it, but today was a Lego Batman Movie day. I went to AOL Build for a panel for The LEGO Batman Movie with Will Arnett and director Chris McKay.
I had the opportunity to ask them a question about the movie (particularly how they got away with the IRON MAN SUCKS! joke) I got a picture with
McKay inside and
Arnett right outside.
Later that evening I attended an IMAX screening through a contest I won through the IMAX FB page. Somehow it was a premiere. On my way to the bathroom, I ran back into McKay who remembered me from earlier. After the film was done, I got a chance to wish him luck on the sequel and 100% prepared for every LEGO Movie Warner Bros. is ready to throw at me.
He thanked me, and then gave me very secret information that might blow your ****ing mind.
He wants to do a LEGO Justice League Movie.
Oh I even asked about how they get away with the Password joke

HERE'S My review for the movie: http://www.rendyreviews.com/movies//...n-movie-review
Cool selfies! Lego JL movie would be a lot of fun for sure.
Iron Man 3 was def the worst the MCU has to offer. I'm still hesitant to say that any of the DCEU movies are better (and I LOVE Superman, Batman, and the JL). That said, they still do have a few movies that I'm looking forward to. If the trailers are any indication, WW and Aquaman both look great. And while I would prefer Affleck directing The Batman (seriously, The Town was one of the best American crime movies to come out the past ten years), the fact that he's involved in this at all creatively gives me hope.
That said, while I 'm probably going to end up seeing JL in the theaters, that will def be despite Snyder, not because of him (def not because of him, which is probably the same reason I'm going to skip the next Superman movie if he directs it).
Poorly paced, rough script, and about a half hour too long. 2/5
I was hoping this movie was going to be good. I was laughing watching the previews.

You can`t really believe that the upror that the scene made got anything to do with the picked name being common or not. It was banked a meme because it`s a scene relying purely on "glasses fool anyone" but charged a tenfold.
The delivery was ridiculous. Stark acted like an asshole but knowing Bucky had been brainwashed several times over doesn`t naturally override in the moment knowing that one of his hits was his own father or knowing in the same reunion that Steve seemingly was already aware of it but never told him.
CW was about mistrust and for the most part there isn`t a cringe worthy delivery in the story. Most of what you can say is "why the heck was Vision there? He did nothing".
Batman`s mistrust of Superman was well made and clearly belivable, that`s not the issue. The issue was writting him a stupid fella from the second act hence.
Plus Tony had slowly been breaking down for the last few movies. this is just what finally pushed him too far.Stark acted like an asshole but knowing Bucky had been brainwashed several times over doesn`t naturally override in the moment knowing that one of his hits was his own father or knowing in the same reunion that Steve seemingly was already aware of it but never told him.
But anyway "Ironman sucks."
Plan on seeing this Sunday afternoon. The trailers and good reviews got me pumped!
