Worth clearly a 10, gave it a 7 nonetheless

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2019)

...and here's why: It's - I think - mostly intended to be a movie for children. My little one is 5 1/2 and watched it together with me. But, and here comes the big BUT: it's not ideal for a small child (which of course would be the ideal audience for LEGO).
The movie has SO MUCH going on, it's - as a reviewer mentioned before - overwhelming. They've put so much stuff (besides love for detail) in this movie, it's just packed with stuff. And this is the sad thing, apart from the very high speed with which all is going down. Every joke is living for just about 1 or 2 seconds max. Way too much to process for a child - and even I as an adult and movie buff had difficulties taking it all in.
Of course, not alle references and jokes are intendend for the children but their parents, but it's just all too much. Maybe they thought that they only will get this one chance for a movie and HAD to squeeze it all in... But they should have stretched it to two movies and toned the speed way more down. It would have meant more fun and especially more time to take the lovingly made details all in.
And they are plentiful. Let alone the LEGO-made water in the sea, it's so well made and hilarious to look at. And nearly everything else is just plain awesomeness. It looks, as mentioned by another reviewer, like a brickfilm on a big budget - they made it look absolutely perfect.
So sad that children below, let's say, 8 or 10 will have a hard time watching it.
Otherwise: hat tip to the makers, it's very nice.
Of course, Will Ferrell is a big bonus :-)
