LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian | Average Guy Movie Review

A brick-built recap of Din Djarin’s adventures with his little green friend, in a galaxy far, far away. So, The Mandalorian & Grogu has landed on Disney+ , and you might be thinking I need to revisit the show before checking it out. But that could take a while. Maybe you don’t have that kind of time. Well, a Danish construction toy company has got you covered. That’s right. Lego ’s latest colab with Lucasfilm – which landed on Disney+ along side the dynamic duo’s first feature length outing – is a handy little summary of the intergalactic bounty hunting team’s escapades. Previously on The Mandalorian (and The Book of Boba Fett ), if you will. Obviously, it does come with Lego ’s signature brand of wackiness – which is far from a bad thing – and a more family friendly spin. Certainly, for Mando, anyway. But Lego and Star Wars have always been a winning combination, and LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian is no different. It is both a fun recap and a crazy adventure all its own. Of c...

Something she hopes might aid in the training of her padawan. All the while the rest of the gang prepare for the big party.

The LEGO Batman Movie: Average Guy Movie Review

After appearing in 2014's The LEGO Movie as a supporting character, Will Arnett's Batman takes centre stage in The LEGO Batman Movie. With Batman continually refusing help from everyone, insisting he only works alone and needs no-one, those around him begin to feel unappreciated...including the Joker! As a result, the new commissioner considers a Gotham without Batman, and Joker (Zach Galifianakis) goes to new levels to prove himself Batman's greatest enemy. Much like its predecessor, The LEGO Batman Movie is incredible to watch. The animation is stunning from start to finish. Everything in this Lego world looks buildable, Chris McKay and his team have definitely earned the title of 'Master Builders'. And this world is full of hilarious references to Batman and the extended DC universe. Many of them are hidden within the vast and impressive caverns of the Batcave, including every Batmobile the Dark Knight has ever driven. There's a brilliant tribute to p...
