Everything is indeed awesome

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2014)

THE LEGO MOVIE has so much going for it, it's absurd. I love that they made Batman a self-absorbed douche (and Will Arnett does a terrific job with this). And everyone else does great, too: Chris Pratt, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman, and especially Elizabeth Banks (god, she can make reading the phone book sound sexy). No one expected much from this movie when it was announced (myself included), so to see just how good this thing turned out is the real surprise. It's well-written, damn well-animated (so much of this CGI looks genuinely stop-motion; top-notch stuff) and features an array of great characters.
But most of all, it's a whole lot of fun.
