The Lego Movie 2014 5 out of 10
“Everything is so-so….Everything is completely average and underwhelming” That is pretty much how I felt about the blockbuster success that was The Lego Movie.
It was an extremely average and overrated animated movie.
I think it was the perfect example of a movie that everyone tells you is great –that definitely didn’t live up to the hype. I’ve seen better Lego shorts. The mini Star Wars Lego specials were funnier and more entertaining.
Visually - it looked exactly like you would expect it to....Like someone was making a really good stop motion Lego movie for you tube.
The story was clever and yet I found the movie itself kind of boring.
The Ending
SPOILER WARNING: The ending was clever and yet I didn’t emotionally buy into it, because anyone that put together such an epic Lego set wouldn’t want it messed up either. The kid could just play with own stuff so the premise that the dad was bad because he wouldn't let his son play with his creation is faulty to me. Once the ending is revealed that the whole story was just some kid’s imagination while playing in his dad’s epic and structured Lego creation –the plot of this so-so adventure made sense. The problem is the whole film felt like a random story from some kid’s playtime. This concept may be brilliant, but the adventure itself wasn’t that fun. The good jokes were few and far between and I probably wouldn’t watch this animated adventure again.
On that noteThe kids loved it and it absolutely cleaned up at the box office….So I’m sure there will be more Lego movies to come.
I hope the next one is better and more entertaining.
