Watch someone else play with the iconic toys.

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2016)

Legos are among the most popular and purchased toys in American history. Children (or adults) have built multiple inventions through the premise of setting your mind to create any colorful space-ship or dinosaur imaginable. Of course in this day of age a movie would be made about them. Dubious at first, "The Lego Movie" made me realize it wasn't just made for the hell of it. It was made with purpose and thought. An ordinary Lego construction worker, thought to be the prophesied 'Special', is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis. Voices from Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, and Morgan Freeman fill the screen with funny sounds and yellow toys who find a way to be more than that. Sure, the film gets stretched out with too much music and an overly thoughtful plot, but this is the film families will enjoy for many years. Not to mention it's an animated film with cutting-edge animation and special effects that off-set the plot.
