Review #12 | The LEGO Movie

The LEGO Movie, 2014

Synopsis: "The LEGO (R) Movie" is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO (R) adventure. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

I want to speak on behalf of the people who are not LEGO fans. Those of us who haven’t played LEGO as kids can be skeptical about this movie. There is a question, why is everyone so pumped up about this movie? That’s what I felt entering theaters.

So this is my brief review of it. The LEGO Movie has creative visuals and awesome action sequences. This LEGO world is very big. The LEGO Team seems to have spent great amount of time building it (great job, guys!).

As for the story, it is creative, happy and good. Flexible storylines make it more unexpected. You never know what is going to happen. Anything can happen. Despite the limitations in movement of the LEGO figures this movie has, it is full of imagination and creativity. It is the most imaginative movie in years.


Although I am not fond of LEGO and might have not laughed as hard as others did during the movie, I felt like I had a great time. I enjoyed it.
