Astonishing!

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2015)

At first, I was leaning towards the direction that the movie wouldn't be so great. I loved playing with Lego blocks as a kid, and that's why decided to watch the movie in the first place. Just as the movie was starting, I realized I didn't like the graphics so much. (Yes, I realize that's how it's supposed to look, but still.) I even considered discontinuing it. But as the movie progressed on, I fell more in love with the concept. How a nobody, a person who lacked self-confidence, who so desperately wanted to fit in, could do so much for the world. It goes to show that, no matter what, if you believe in yourself, you can reach great heights, heights you never thought were possible to scale. I admired the part at the end, where the movie tied in to the real world. (a bit like toy story). The father, whom his son portrayed as the villain, learns to appreciate his son and his capabilities that he was too busy to notice he had. It will be hard to make the second part better than this one, but I have faith. Summarizing, it was a great movie, loved the concept and you should definitely watch this one!
