‘THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE’

Rating: PG for rude humor and some action.

What it’s about: Batman gets his own Lego spin-off, and it turns out to be one of the most fun Batman movies ever.

The kid-attractor factor: The animation, Lego branding, songs and humor are kiddie catnip.

Good lessons/bad lessons: No one is beyond redemption or evolution. Everything is cool when you’re part of a team; take a look at yourself and make that change.

Violence: Batman gets up to his Batman things, diffusing bombs, driving cool vehicles and fighting crime, his nemesis The Joker and all the movie villains in the Warner Bros. archive. Action and peril are throughout the film, but, it’s Lego characters. Nothing graphic.

Language: No strong language, just some pantsless humor with regard to Robin. Cheeky, but appropriate jokes.

Sexuality: A crush on Barbara Gordon.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: Great for kids and adults of all ages. Maybe a bit too much for the littlest ones.

‘JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2’

Rating: R for strong violence throughout, some language and brief nudity.

What it’s about: Retired assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) just can’t stay retired. He’s called back into action to settle a sibling rivalry.

The kid-attractor factor: It’s a sequel to the 2014 hit “John Wick,” and the action and stunts will no doubt be a draw for teen audiences.

Good lessons/bad lessons: You can’t escape your past, only fight through it.

Violence: Like “John Wick,” “Chapter 2” is a surrealistic orgy of violence, a ballet of bloodshed, a symphony of stabbings. Many, many people are shot in the head, kicked, punched, stabbed and otherwise gruesomely dispatched.

Language: John Wick is a man of few words, but there is some brief strong language.

Sexuality: Some nudity, seen from afar, not graphic.

Drugs: Alcohol but no drug use.

Parents advisory: This one isn’t for the faint of heart or the younger audiences. Maybe OK for older teens.
