The Greatest Animated Movie in Over a Decade
18 June 2014
How to start of this review? Hmmmmmm. How about "Everything Was Awesome!" I know, pretty overused at this point. But the LEGO Movie is awesome and I'm not just saying that, you're guaranteed to enjoy it.

Plot - The Story is about a ordinary guy named Emmet who is said to be the special. He eventually goes on this Journey with some Master Builders from stopping Lord Business from doing the evil stuff that he is supposed to do. Surprisingly the plot is really smooth. It takes a while to get adjusted during the beginning but towards the middle, you are totally adjusted to the plot. And the plot seems to work out just perfect not too much not too little.

Characters - The cast of this movie is like, to be honest, one of the best casts in an animated film ever put to film. We've got Christ Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnet, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, even Morgan Freeman put in the films main roles. Each actor portrays the emotions of the character so well. The voices just work with each individual figure. So the characters are portrayed very carefully and well during the film each one at the right time.

Animation - The Animation in this movie is so good. You literally feel like you are inside a LEGO world. The animation looks like Stop-Motion, but it's actually computer animated which actually makes everything look a it better. You literally could imagine this happening on your kids or your LEGO's. It's like you are watching little tiny Minifigures going on an adventure. Also when things are blown up or smoke is coming out of vehicles, it's all LEGO bricks manipulating everywhere. It is genius animation, just it just fits with the LEGO movie.

What to Except - Pure satisfaction and maybe even more. This is one of those kids films were parents enjoy it just as much as their kids EQUALLY. There is a ton of Pop culture references in the film that everybody today can relate to so much. There is literally non-stop funny humor throughout the film. And a some of it is adult humor to keep the adults very entertained and into the film. What mainly to expect is "Getting Super Surprised" When you here about a movie about LEGOs, your just thinking "it's going to be a huge advertisement for sure." But it felt like it wasn't advertising anything at all. There were so many life lessons in the movie that are not hard to catch especially to the parents. Family lessons that aren't just any silly all life lesson, but something deeper and more. All these lessons and heart-warming moments are fit into one whole 100 minute movie very smoothly surprisingly. In the end is what will really get you but I can't spoil it because that would ruin the whole movie. So parents, children prepare for a surprising film, trust me.

Overall - Overall the LEGO movie is a enjoyment for the whole movie but not just like any old good animated movie. This is something more. Something more, something movies these days should have. It's been more than a decade until we've had amazing movies like this. Disney still has there A-Game on, but I think Warner Bros. Is starting to step up their game. So should you buy it on. Blu-Ray or Watch it? Both. You can watch this so many times and always keep on being entertained. The LEGO movie is one of the, or just maybe, the greatest animated film ever played on the big screen. (A+)
