Wow! Awesome build, and also what are using to make renders?
Just Studio's built-in rendering, nothing fancy. I used Photoshop to blue the background of the last one, others are just raw from the program.

So that's what I get for not watching the Lego Movies. Serves me right, I suppose...

I remember at least watching the first one for some time, and it was actually cool and good, but I never really watched it to the end.

The second one though? Clicked it when it popped up in one of the streaming services and it was like some kind of slingshot effect where I can't even name a single scene that put me off but I think I stopped it faster than it started to buffer enough to stream.

I also never watched Toy Story 3.

RIP me.

The first movie was for young kids and their parents (or people their parents age).
The second for for just the kids of the first movie (aged in real time fromt he first movie) and not as good.

The Lego Batman movie is also legit one of the better Batman movies out there.

Yeah I would say Lego 1 is maybe B+, Lego 2 is C+, Batman is A-, and Ninjago is C. None are downright terrible, but 2 and Ninjago are forgettable and only if you are a fan, have kids, or feel a need to have them all.

The LEGO Batman Movie has one of the funniest jokes I’ve ever heard in a kids film:
code:
Robin: My name’s Richard Grayson, but all my friends call me Dick.
Batman: Well, children can be cruel.

I wasn't a fan of the spring loaded guns and mechanism to push the wings out, and modded it out eventually. But then I ran out of display space so it's disassembled in bags so you'll just have to trust me!

I hate spring loaded guns on lego sets. I'm sure kids love them so it's overall good they're there.

Batman and Joker gently caress. It's been a while for me, too, so I don't remember all that bothered me about the ending. But the "let's all be friends" thing is fine for a kids movie but it is 100% wrong for a Batman film.

E: I thought the movie was great until the beginning of the 3rd act. Then I thought it was horrible. My opinion, of course.

The Ninjago Movie was not up to par with the others. I think that's where they over reached and damaged the lego movie brand.

Overall it wasn't the best showing, but it had a pretty fantastic Villain introduction scene.

Also, "The Canyon of General Unhappiness" was an incredible joke when you finally catch it.

I thought it worked really well as a subversion of the old 'batman can't ever defeat the joker they need each other' chestnut. The Joker having completely succeeded is convinced to undo the damage to the city because actually winning isn't what he really wants. Batman has grown enough to accept help from others instead of pushing them way, him convincing the joker to help is a big moment for his character arc.

Its a kids movie about toys so it leans onto the conflict ultimately being just a game with no serious consequences. 'Should batman kill the joker' doesn't make sense as a question in a world where peoples heads can be popped on and off imo, so i don't see the issue with batman letting the villains (who just saved gotham) get a headstart before the game begins again. Its 100% pure batman in my opinion, stripped of pretense and grit, celebrating the weird history of the franchise to tell a story that bridges the dour loner from recent movies to more well adjusted versions of the character who can coexist with the extended bat family.

Thats just my opinion though. Like i'll never accept BVS batman as anything but '100% wrong' but he's been a complete idiot edgelord in plenty of stuff before that so its' just my personal feelings afterall.

I checked out of the Lego Batman movie once it became a giant HEY LOOK AT ALL OUR IP jerk-off fest but I keep meaning to rewatch it. I loved it up until that point so maybe I'll be more forgiving in a post-Space Jam: A New Legacy world.

If anybody still needs Benny’s Spaceship x 3, I’ll be listing one in SA-Mart soon, depending on how long it takes me to sort some other sets, including a number of Lego Batman movie sets.

I’ve decided to cull the collection. Nothing but castle and Modular’s for me, I think.

*shrug* I thought it was a fun movie. Lots of well-known voices too, but my favorite are Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face (finally reprising that role) and Eddie Izzard as Voldemort, because the actor who actually played Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) was already the voice of Alfred.

Took ordering parts from halfway around the world to get decent prices, but hey it's finally done. Roughly similar but quite a bit different from the stud.io concept.. the real world required concessions.

Here it is in its permanent home, was the whole reason for the project.



Thinking about what to do in the other three quadrants. I'd like to do a castle theme but I only have 8 studs of height to work with so no super tall castles can be done.
