Plastic Warm and Fuzzy Feelings

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2015)

I probably would have loved this movie even if it was merely a largely nonsensical romp through Lego lore with groundbreaking visuals and catchy songs. As it turned out, the story had a lot more depth than I anticipated. Best movie I saw in 2014.
The usage of the licensed characters who appear in the movie was a lot of fun as well. Lego Batman is pretty much how every 8-year-old boy imagines Batman these days.
One thing I appreciated about the visual effects is that the Lego blocks have a definite tangible quality, making them look like the real things as opposed to simple CGI renderings.
