United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"[It] is a thing of wonder (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"While The Dark Knight won't be supplanted any time soon as tops among Bat-movies, the new film makes a strong argument for second-best simply by taking time to explore the core of Batman that others haven’t: "	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It’s kicky, bedazzling, and super-fun (...) a kiddie flick that’s been made in a sophisticated spirit of lightning-fast, brain-bursting paradox."	POS
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"The Lego Batman Movie is less awesome than its predecessor, but it’s a clever, well-paced, self-aware and completely satisfying kind of less awesome."	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"Although there is still much to enjoy here, this DC Comics-fueled Lego adventure fails to clear the creative bar so energetically raised by co-directors and writers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller back in 2014."	NEU
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"[An] expressive, cinematic and subversive Gotham City satire (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Digital Spy	"It's a refreshing kick up the Bat-side for a character who has, perhaps, been overused in cinema of late.(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"[It] is polished, enjoyable and high-quality family entertainment (...) [but it] feels a touch disappointing considering the prior film's stunning artistic triumph."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'The Lego Batman Movie', animated with love and lunacy, is the funniest Caped Crusader movie ever. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Toys and heroes, what’s not to like?"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"One walks away from the experience equally entertained and exhausted."	POS
