Variety
The first thing to say about The Lego Batman Movie is that it’s kicky, bedazzling, and super-fun. - 85
TheWrap
The Lego Batman Movie, for the most part, very skillfully keeps the wackiness from overwhelming the plot and vice versa. And while the various Bat-vehicles take us through vertiginous zooms on land or through the air, McKay keeps the action rousing but never jumbled. - 83
IndieWire
More fun than funny, more clever than smart, “LEGO Batman” moves too fast to acclimate audiences to the world it so eagerly dismantles and rebuilds (and too fast to make them want to stay there for a minute longer), but it serves as a frenzied reminder that laughing at the things we love is sometimes the best way to remember why we love them. - 80
The Guardian
It doesn’t have the heart, the depth or the novelty of the first Lego movie, but it is relentlessly, consistently funny – which excuses everything. - 80
The Telegraph
While it never achieves, or even reaches for, The Lego Movie’s unexpected profundity and emotional bite, in purely logistical terms, The Lego Batman Movie is a thing of wonder. There are around four (great) films’ worth of action and jokes here, crammed into a story so streamlined it might have been assembled in the Lockheed wind tunnel. - 80
Total Film
An entertaining, if frenetic, vehicle for Arnett’s Bale-inspired Bats that packs plenty of laughs. - 70
We Got This Covered
When it counts, The LEGO Batman Movie delivers everything you’d want from such a farcical superhero creation. - 70
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.
