The Lego Movie: Review

The Lego Movie

Director: Phil Lord & Christopher Miller

Stars: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell. Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett, Liam Neeson

Genre: Adventure, Comedy

Emmet Brickowoski (Chris Pratt) an ordinary Lego construction worker who only abides by what the directions of life tell him what to do. How he got dressed, eat, what to watch on TV and what to listen to on the radio. After a long work day Emmet falls into a hole on his construction site that tosses him in to a whirlwind of trouble with the Lego Government. Which in turns transforms him to be an unlikely hero with a group of rebels Wildstyle (Elizabeth Banks) Batman (Will Arnett) and Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman). The group of five must find away to stop President Business (Will Ferrell) in his plan to destroy the Lego universe with the mighty power of the "Kragle". The group of five must travel through a slew of the best Lego universes to try and escape President Business's right hand man appropriately named Bad Cop (Liam Neeson). Before they take down President Business Emmet must  learn to believe in him self. That he can over come the need to follow what the directions tell him to do. This movie is about believing in your self and that anything you set your mind to is possible.

The Lego Movie is great fun for the whole family. I honestly did not think that I would be laughing this much at this movie. The story was solid. Easy enough for little children to understand while being entertaining enough for the older audience. The Lego Movie has a star studded cast clearly, with enough cameos to fill a yearbook. All the way from Jonah Hill to Shaquille O'Neal. Even Simpsons character Milhouse has a cameo in it (voice not included however). There is a point at the end of the film where with out spoiling to much but you sorta get taking out of the movie vibe and it goes into something weird and makes you feel a little less for the characters.

7/10
