Much better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2015)

I think most people had the same reaction when they first saw the trailer for this movie. I can imagine it was a simultaneous sigh, with everyone muttering the words "really? A Lego Movie?" But please, if you haven't watched it yet, you are seriously missing out.
Like many people, I expected this to be full of child humour with no real storyline or substance, but I am 19 years old and I found myself chuckling throughout this film, along with my parents. The humour is aimed at all ages and it really does tickle you in places.
The main thing that impresses me about this film however, is the cleverness and creativity behind it. The idea of the characters building things out of Lego, and Lego pieces flying everywhere when there's an explosion or a car crash or something. It is really cleverly done and really entertaining.
It isn't a perfect movie, as some of the jokes are a bit silly, but in all honesty, it is 10x better than I ever thought it would be. A very, very good film.
