Feb 7, 2014 · Everything in "The Lego Movie" is, indeed, awesome. Awesome as in imagine if "Toy Story" were spoofed by Mel Brooks after he ate magic mushrooms while reading George Orwell's 1984. Awesome as in the sort of silly yet wily kid-appropriate PG-rated performance by Will Ferrell that you've been waiting for ever since "Elf" came out more than a ...

On paper, the title might sound a little crass. A film based entirely around a product? You could even be forgiven for being cynical, seeing the use of a toy brand as little more than a ruse to flog even more play-sets. You could think that, but you’d be so wrong and end up missing out on a truly wonderful film.
The LEGO Movie is a lot of things, but cynical is definitely not one of them. It’s positively teeming with life and energy. It’s bizarre, colourful, optimistic, frequently hilarious, and perhaps most surprisingly, genuinely touching. Like the most celebrated of kids' films, though, The LEGO Movie is really about what it means to be a child, and therefore, it has a much wider audience: everyone.
It’s an everyman narrative, with Emmet (Chris Pratt), a humble construction worker, being plucked from obscurity and suddenly burdened with the expectation of saving the LEGO universe from an impending apocalypse. He’s an utter nobody. He’s not special. Never has been. But the film takes him on a a thrilling journey, and along the way he learns something not only about the world he lives in but something more important about himself. Overall, the story is compelling, well-paced, if perhaps a touch too long.
On his plastic pilgrimage, he’s accompanied by Wildstyle – she’s a Master Builder, one of several special mini-figures blessed with ability to build anything from the LEGO around them (think Neo at the end of The Matrix, and you’re somewhere close) and a motley crew of supporting characters.
In the end, it’s heartening that despite all of the licensed characters, The LEGO Movie remembers there’s something much more enduring – and that’s LEGO itself. It really gets to the heart of what the toy is all about and why it has prospered for over 60 years. It’s a film that believes everyone can be creative; that everyone is special; and that i...
With lightning-fast wit, a surprising amount of action, and perhaps a bit of attention deficit disorder, The Lego Movie is consistently entertaining from start to finish. It's a brilliant mix of humor, heart, and creativity, and provides a great foundation to build on.
Feb 7, 2014 · Ridiculously funny and meticulously detailed, The LEGO Movie is far better than a toy tie-in movie has any right to be. Despite a couple of dips, you’ll be grinning throughout. Read More
