I don't get it

Rating: 6/10 (26 February 2014)

Legos is one great international company that has redefined itself so successfully in the American marketplace. I guess I can't join what looks to be the large majority of IMDb members in saluting their venture into the movie industry. Sorry, I just didn't get this one. We have this sort of ordinary fungible dweeb in corporate world who becomes the chosen one to save all the fungible dweebs in corporate world from the evil corporate overlord who has his own bizarre plot to freeze all the dweebs for unclear reasons. Along the way we see familiar characters from other fantasy movies, in their own Lego fashion, along with some unique to this movie. The world they present is hardly new (see Cloudy II) and really very unpleasant for kids and dads alike. There are moments of sort of odd and goofy humor and the twist towards the end is sort of interesting but again it doesn't really fit with the rest of the movie. I'm glad for all of the people who enjoyed this, but me and my 8 year old don't share their opinion.
