The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. (official distributor synopsis)

I was incredibly excited for this movie because I knew that Lego just never disappoints. And it didn't. This is an excellent spectacle that is entertaining and creative in every way. The Lego figures and individual pieces, with their unique shapes, are utilized to great advantage here, and the whole thing just looks excellent. I had a great time with it, especially with all the pop culture references... A ballad for my soul. I literally ate up the ending.

A few really polished jokes and the overall originality and liveliness of the setting can't quite make up for the quality level of the story, which is at times childish and sentimental to the point of shame, and in the end tries to dazzle with an idea that I wouldn't have bought into even as a father after three beers. Next time I'll opt for the dubbed version, which I'm sure will allow me to concentrate better on the elaborate visual details. For the time being, however, 65%.

Thanks to awesome trailers and great reviews, my expectations were really high. Too high, unfortunately... It turned out to be a decent nostalgic animated movie full of great jokes and one-liners, except that 90% of them were given away by the authors in the trailers, so there wasn't much left. Plus, the final point of the movie... well, I wasn’t expecting anything groundbreaking, but this was really disappointing (even the Simpsons parody was better). In any case, there are also positives – I had fun for the most part, and the Danes are going to rake in loads of cash again.

You don't have to be a master builder to realize that the film's most significant asset is its subversive revolt against the Danish tycoon who churns out one cube set after another, from which it's now virtually impossible to build anything based on your own imagination; the heaps of humor, the Bruckheimer-esque action races and the great balance on all audience target groups are just a nice bonus. 4 ½.

The Lego Movie captivates at first glance with imaginative animation based on the globally popular building blocks. The film is also not without a certain originality when it comes to the script, where basically anything is possible, as long as it can be "rearranged" like Lego pieces – which was, however, one big and fundamental problem for me. In some places, I found the plot a little too disjointed. Of course, I accept the fact that this is an animated fantasy for children, where anything is possible, but everything has its limits. I liked the live-action insert, even though the film could have done without it – it seemed too overdone. Still, this is an unpretentious diversion, which will find both its fans and its detractors through its unconventional concept.
