This movie starts out great, with a clever opening and lots of witty references. It stays in this tone for maybe the first third, and you are thinking "another clever movie from the Lego guys".
Then it just sort of loses it's way. The end is all bright lights and music and constant motion and action, and it also seems like they wind up the story about 2/3 of the way through and the tone goes from clever and snarky to care bears let's all love each other and share and get along.
I will admit I am writing this review from an adult perspective, my grandson was mesmerized by all the sound and lights. But Pixar and Lego have shown that you can make a movie that appeals to kids and adults, so I don't think we are setting an unrealistic bar.
