Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2014)

I saw the trailer for this film months before it was released and was quivering with anticipation until I saw it on opening night. I was not disappointed. This film exceeded all my expectations.
Although obviously aimed at children and acting as a superb marketing gimmick (I wanted to blow the dust off my old Lego sets the moment the film was over) the film held a coherent plot line, excellent cast of voice actors, a clever mix of stop-motion and smooth animation, a great score and enough laughs and adult pitched humour to keep everybody entertained from beginning to end.
The creators ability to poke fun at themselves and the Lego universe in which they were operating belied the high level of planning and forethought that had been used to develop this film.
I have watched The Lego Movie twice already and know that in a few months it will bear watching a third time.
