Lego eyecandy, that is just too childish to get into

Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2018)

I watched this movie in 2014 with my uncle in 2014 for my 19th birthday. Weird right? Well that's besides the point. I thought I was going to get a really cool epic awesome movie for kids based off a fun toy with a punch. Too bad there is no punch part. Let's get into why this is the 3rd most overrated animated film of all time.
-STORY-
The story of Lego Star Wars would have worked on paper. It has the set up. A world built. It's basically about a little Lego man who is too normal for his own good. So one day a Deus Ex Machina in female Lego form comes from the heavens to save the red pilled Legoman and whisk him off to become a hero. A somebody. Meanwhile, the evil President Business or whatever is plotting an evil attack to make the world normal or conformist or something by gluing all the character's feet down on Taco Tuesday. Now the protagonist must save the world by getting a team of unlikely heroes straight out of the Wizard of Oz. But not because they are pop culture references made to sell more Lego toys after the movie is over.
They basically save the world by being creative. The challenge here is that Steve is anything but creative. Which is funny. That is basically the only funny part for anyone over the age of 11 because the rest of the story seams to not have very funny jokes. The story basically has the characters win by default. After all if I forgot to tell you, this is a chosen one story which is a dumb cliche and is probably written ironically, (just like every piece of dialogue in this film)
The conflict between President Business and Steve boil down to daddy issues. I'm not even joking that the resolution happens to be that the real life son has a dead beat dad played by the hilarious HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH FUnny manchild Will Ferrell who has his own creation of Legoland or Legotopia or whatever. The dad turns out to be president Beezwax and wants to glue down the world for perfection. But the two realize they can be creative together.
None of the things could be explained in this film other than Legos. No science. Just pop culture references.
Honestly, if I watched it the second time. Maybe I'd truly love it. Because as of now I don't. I'm sorry but this movie has a mediocre story. Almost any Pixar movie is better.
5/10
-CHARACTERS-
Steve is a character that is nice but too Mickey Mouse for his own good. He is blah. So he must transform and know the truth. Now which of the 2 things do you think he does? That's right he learns the truth. But he does like I said become more creative even though any other character could do better.
Wyldestyle- She is cool, probably the best character. She is a hot goth chick Lego.
Batman- The film's sweetheart. But really he isn't even that funny. He's actually trying to hard to be childish that it isn't funny by pointing out the tropes of what Batman does best. I hate the cynical irony it has. It's like 2000's making fun of the 1980's and not showing any love. He does cool stuff. That's it. He's annoying.
Unikitty- She's a funny little sidekick that is too cute for her own good that it's annoying.
Vitruvius- The oracle voiced by Morgan Freeman and it's HAHAHAHAHAHADHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Awesome le Epic. Not not really.
President Beezwax- He is supposed to be a menacing villian but he just like 90% of the characters comes off as childish.
Good Cop Bad Cop- The main antagonist of the story. He get's his good side taken away. He's pretty cool for a lego.
7/10 I think you'll like them
-ANIMATION-
In terms of art this movie is truely amazing. I've never seen a studio try to Mimic childhood stop motion animation movies through computers. It was so amazing. The lighting effects. Every location looked unique. That's all it really had going for it.
-SOUND-
As I said before the dialogue is trying to hard to be childish ironically. But the Sound is unrivaled. I can't stop singing that stupid song everything is awesome.
-FINAL VIRDICT
I couldn't get into to the Lego Movie. Try as I might, but I feel that I'd rather play with Legos than watch a badly written film about them.
At least it's better than the Emoji movie.
