Lego blocks galore. Simple plot. Entertaining.

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2014)

Talk about a Lego world. First of all, you begin thinking like a kid and you wonder...how many Lego sets did it take to make this movie?! Emmet Brickowski(Chris Pratt) lives and works in a world of extraordinary and talented individuals. But ask his co-workers, neighbors and friends...Emmett is just simple, plain and practically unnoticeable. Nothing special about Emmett. He is sometimes made fun of for always following directions at work, at home and in life. One day by accident, Emmett falls and finds a coveted "Piece of Resistance" and this now makes him "The Special". With this and a little know how, the big mean President Business(Will Ferrell)can be thwarted and the world of Master Builders can be saved from "Taco Tuesday" and his total domination.
A beautiful Wyldstyle(Elizabeth Banks), her boyfriend Batman(Will Arnett)and wise Vitruvis(Morgan Freeman) team up to unlock Emmett's mindset of always following directions and use some creative thinking to overpower President Business with "The Piece of Resistance". After all, Emmett is now "Special" and it is his destiny to save the Master Builders of a world made of Legos.
THE LEGO MOVIE is rated PG and is family fare. The kids can enjoy this without much supervision; but there is enough action to sustain even a grownup's attention. The notable Mark Mothersbaugh puts his thumb print on the music and Mark Ackland is credited as concept artist and designer. Many other recognizable actor's voices bring vitality: Will Forte, Cobie Smulders, Liam Neeson, Channing Tatum, Billy Dee Williams, Shaq O'Neal and Jonah Hill.
