... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View More'The Lego Movie' is exactly what you expect, but also at the same time, something unexpected. It's a bright, fast-paced, well-intentioned kids' film, but it also has quite a few genuine laughs and touching moments - not that they're out of place, just that they add some levity to the story, which sometimes does get a little too "meta" for it's own good.The storyline is quite straightforward - ordinary guy gets thrust into an adventure to save the Universe, defeat the bad guy (Ferrell) and find love, even though he's "normal" - obviously, it turns out everyone's "Special"/unique, not just those that are prominent. What makes it stand out is how they've taken something we all know & love - I doubt anyone born in the last 40 years hasn't played with Lego as a kid - and translated it to a living world. We get to see this through Emmet (Pratt)'s eyes and it's pretty funny how they integrate corporate America - coffee, music & TV shows - into this Lego world. And it's great how the Lego looks real and only animated to move facial effects - and the animated water is great. My favourite bit was seeing Ben the 'generic 80's astronaut' (Charlie Day) - and his enthusiasm for building spaceships - who even had an authentic helmet crack where the chin strap always broke! I remember building weird spaceships for him.One of my main issues is that they've gone to such great effort to animate this world, but then they fly through most of it so quickly that you don't actually get a chance to appreciate it all! Thanks to being a Warner Brothers film, we get the benefit of seeing DC characters - Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern (a great sub-plot with these two!), and especially, Batman. The casting of Will Arnett as Batman is genius - his gravelly voice perfectly suited, as well as his comic timing. The ending - combining live action with the animation actually works - is pretty good and wraps everything up nicely, while also making you care for some of these characters, even if they're little yellow blocks!
... View MoreThis movie is really enjoyable. I must say that "Everything is awesome" in this movie .
... View MoreIn a world where everything is made out of Lego, an ordinary guy, almost invisible to everyone, discovers a piece that can fulfill an ancient prophecy and save the universe from the evil claws of President Business. He joins a team of Master Builders and together they must plan their moves of stopping the imminent evil.It's a movie based on the Lego universe which brings together with all their constructions and contraptions a lot of famous characters like Batman, Superman and others. Although it is based on a cliché story of an ordinary guy that must save the world, it is mostly interesting and entertaining but you cannot miss the parody-like atmosphere and it's superficiality in several acts. Those wouldn't have been such a big problem if it wasn't for its finale which is too childish and disappointing. I had some great expectations regarding this one so I'm a bit disappointed, but that doesn't mean that it is a bad movie. It's just that I hoped that it would a wonderful animation movie with Lego which frankly isn't.
... View More'The LEGO Movie' brings LEGO to life in a lively, action packed film. On paper, this movie really shouldn't have worked. Taking a popular kids' toy and making a movie out of it was a big risk and was never going to please everyone. Part of the reason it turned out so well is because it doesn't even take itself seriously. LEGO itself is the butt of many of the jokes in the film.The story is better than expected and the characters are funny and interesting. Visually this film is spectacular. The amount of detail in each frame is mind-blowing. It's amazing to watch. I would have never expected a film based on a toy to be such a hit, and not only with kids. 'The LEGO Movie' is about as good as I could have hoped it to be. If you think about the many things that could have gone wrong with this movie, it's impressive how well it was received.
