Lego Movie

It looks hilarious

My little brothers have been psyched to talk about this movie every time I get to talk to 'em on the phone

Better than Wreck It Ralph, in your opinion?

I loved it. Here's my review from the M/TV board:



Just got back from it. Simply put, as you all have heard, "Everything is Awesome!" It's clear that Lord and Miller didn't half arse this "product placement on steroids" concept, and completely justify why this movie should have been made in the first place, and also why this is the greatest toy to have ever graced humanity.

The sheer creativity and gags come at you a million miles an hour. It does feel like a Lego adventure you'd send out some of your Lego figures on, and it never feels completely dumb. Will Arnett's Batman is the closest we'll probably ever come to having "The God Damn Batman" put on screen, and he's hilarious. Will Ferrell is also great, as is really everyone else.

The final 15 minutes though are pretty incredible and surprisingly touching. I won't spoil it, but it will make you teary eyed and emotional, especially if you played with Legos a ton when you were a kid.

This is easily the greatest film ever based around a single toy and puts every single other film based around bringing a toy franchise to life to shame. Save Toy Story of course, and its a really nice spiritual successor to it. I think this board will be shocked on how much they enjoy this, and its so good I have no idea where they can take the sequel, since they seem to have it pretty well covered on what Legos are all about.

I really want to see this

Took my daughter, wife, niece and nephews to see this last night. Was an amazing movie! Captured the spectrum of humor and brought it full circle with some heartfelt at the end.
