It did have quite a few really good jokes, and it started very strong. However, I feel like the last third of the film just dragged, partly from having too many predictable elements and fewer jokes.
When characters such as spoiler

first popped up, I had a chuckle, it was cool to see them so unexpectedly. On the other hand, they weren't very funny or cleverly used, so they felt more like a cheap cameo instead of a parody. With the rich villains commonly seen in Batman movies, it was a weird choice to use villains from other blockbusters instead of fan-favorites like Scarecrow, Penguin, Catwoman, etc. This being a Batman movie, I would have loved to see more of those guys but they barely had a line.
On the plus side, I never really cared for Robin or Alfred, but they were surprisingly funny in this.

Really enjoyed this movie but have to say I thought it was aimed more at adults than children. But the best DC film in a long time.

I loved the Lego Movie, and I loved the Lego Batman character. When I heard about the movie coming out I was stoked, but upon viewing it I was left disappointed.

Batman, Alfred and Robin were brilliant. The best scenes were the banter between them, especially at the manor.
The graphics were beautiful, and very fluid. Some good jokes that got a chuckle or two out of me.

Unfortunately my complaints outnumbered my praise, especially with spoiler

I know that it's an incredibly unpopular opinion to have, but I just wish that it was better.

I feel like there was decent referential joke potential passed up by not having Ralph Fiennes's Alfred fight Voldemort at the end.

Pretty disappointing after Lego movie. Essentially just a super hero movie, for kids. References to other series gets passed off as comedy,.

Lego Batman is a visual feast that had me laughing before even the first studio logo, and crying by the end with a message I personally responded to and that I found the perfect commentary to the dark vision of Batman we've been getting in live action. It's got something for everyone and pays tribute to every version of Batman. If you liked Batman '66, you'll like this movie. If you liked Christopher Nolan, you'll like this movie. If you liked Batman '89, you'll like this movie. If you like Batman comics (any era), you'll like this movie. If you liked the Super-Friends, you'll like this movie. If you liked the original Lego Movie, you'll like this movie. If you like the Lego video games, you'll like this movie. If you have a heart, you'll like this movie. No, strike that, you'll LOVE this movie. And it's got some great rewatch value - I know *I* certainly didn't catch every joke and reference! So yeah, my favorite Batman movie of all time.
