Great visuals with comedic story!

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2014)

I didn't really know what was going to happen when I saw the Lego Movie. I just imagined it would be the usual "the chosen one saves the world" thing. Boy, was I wrong!
The Lego Movie is the story of everyman Emmett, who becomes the last hope of the citizens of Legoland when a business tycoon decides to take over. The story begins simple, but takes a sharp turn by the second half. At this point, Emmett is thought to have fallen to his death, but instead, he wakes up in... our world?
Yes, the Lego Movie went all "Wayne's World" on us and broke the Fourth Wall. BIG TIME. In one of the most spectacular and comedic endings to come out of stop-motion animation, Emmett is helped by the child creating this story and saves the world.
I was really amazed at the amount of jokes that the writers could pull off without entering the parody zone. With that, the Lego Movie is an awesome movie that I definitely recommend.
