Great movie to watch one time

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2019)

So first of all I liked this movie a lot with my first watch. It's funny, pretty wicked and has a more serious ending. The strength of this movie is eventually it's plot. The movie starts light heartedly and seems like very innocent movie. The first time watch is great so I wan't to discuss about the plot here so spoilers incoming.
But before the major plot I want to tell about the things that aren't so great in my opinion. I was some what disappointed when I learned that this movie was CGI animated. It's no a huge problem because it does look good but I still have a problem with the overall look of the movie. It's not necessarily the CGI itself but editing and the speed of everything. There is too much happening on the screen for the most of the time. I think these great looking animations and effects are wasted because most of them last just like 2 seconds. There is not enough time to appreciate what you see on the screen and most of the time there is also too much stuff on the screen at the same time. It looks and is very cool that basically all the things are made of Lego, like water is transparent blue little parts, the sea is made out of Lego and smoke is made out of grey bricks. But on some action scenes there are like hundred different projectile parts on the screen flying around and the screen is just full of stuff and explosions. Then these different camera angles are on for just 2 or less seconds and action is essentially just too fast little moments.
Characters are just little too shallow in my opinion. The Hero is supposed to be this no one like in so many movies, that's ok. But supporting cast has some minor problems. The love interest is ok but it's little bit too hasty with her decisions. I know she is meant to be very fiery personality but some things don't make sense. First she is very dubious about the chosen one. But still she doesn't take the attitude to just drag him with her and do things by herself. Instead she still expects him to do things even though she doesn't believe in him at all. I think her character would be more convincing if she just told him to sit around and say "let me handle this". That would make it better when the chosen one finally starts to fulfill it's destiny.
Plot is great with it's mysterious connections to the "real" world and the lego universe. But after the first watch it's not a mystery anymore and that lowers it's rewatch value some what. I really like how the movie shows how child's imagination differs from the systematic and serious attitude towards playing with Lego and it's heart warming when this is discovered by the dad.
