Movie Reviews: The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie Review  

Everything is awesome! That's right, I just saw 'The Lego Movie' and yes indeed, everything was awesome!

The Lego Movie is about An ordinary Lego construction worker named Emmet, who is thought to be the prophesied 'Special'. He is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis. With an exceptional voice cast including Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman and Elizabeth Banks.  

The Lego Movie really surprised me, I had heard excellent things and it's really highly rated on Rotten Tomatoes at 96%, however I still didn't think it would be amazing. With excellent dialogue, astounding cameos and an awesome portrayal of Batman, I have to say this is one of the best animations I have seen in a while, It was fresh, new, funny and a movie that is not just for kids, but teenagers and adults. 

The premise for this movie is very simple and it could've been done awfully, but it wasn't, the voices were top-notch, the writing was hilarious and the CGI was breathtaking, the action scenes were so cool and seeing all the lego pieces used as something almost made me hyperventilate! I just loved how everything looked so real. This movie also has so many Pop Culture references, which will make you have a smile on your face the whole entire time, and I loved all of the lego cameos, my favourites being Green Lantern, Millhouse and Gandalf! also this movie was really quotable, there were so many quotes I bursted out laughing at, most of them coming from Batman. Will Ferrell was as always over the top, but it really worked for this movie because of his character and he had some of the funniest dialogue in the movie. with his inaccurate pronunciation being my favourite, eg. 'Bring me the Poe-lish remover of Naheel' (which translates to Nail polish Remover). 

I didn't really have any negative thoughts about this movie, it was so fun and enjoyable, however if I had a tiny criticism, I would say that it was maybe 10 minutes too long, they could of condensed a few scenes such as the wild west. 

Favourite Quotes:

The Walls are crying! - UniKitty (Voiced by Alison Brie) 

I only use black, or sometimes I use very dark grey - Batman (Voiced by Will Arnett)  

Bring me the poe-lish remover of Naheel! - Lord Business (Voiced by Will Ferrell)

Overall, this movie is really worth checking out and it is probably the best animation I have seen since Tangled, bear in mind I still haven't seen Frozen...

And can't we just all sing 'Everything is awesome!!!'
