It Was Okay

Rating: 3/10 (10 August 2014)

Maybe 3/10 is a bit harsh. I realize The Lego Movie is just for kids. But if so many adults can praise it, then I suppose an adult should be able to criticize it. I really disliked its style of humor. It's just pop culture references and random stuff. The jokes come too fast, which gave me the impression that the writer's lacked confidence. A confident writer would take time to setting up a joke and delivering the payoff. Watching this movie, I thought the writers weren't too sure which jokes would work and threw everything they could on the screen. And with all due respect to the animators, who I'm sure worked very hard on the movie, it looked rather garish to me.
