One of the better animated films.

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2014)

I am not the biggest fan of animated films; a lot of them just pass me by and that's fine. But every now and then there is one that stands out and i feel inclined to go see it. From the trailer it was apparent that "Lego Movie" was going to be one of those stand out films. From the get go It showed quick witted quirky humor; catering to both the young and the older audience. It is funny, plain and simple. It mixes silly comedy with well thought out wit and the timing is at points impeccable. The story is that of a usual animated film; an underdog overcomes his mundane , mediocre life to become a hero. It's a standard plot in most animated films. But this brings a sharpness to it that others don't. The time breezes past and you can't help but enjoy it. And the visuals? Well they excellent and add to the enjoyment.
A great film where the only disappointment was the 2 devilish children to my right. One of which didn't seem to grasp the concept of their juice being finished and continued to suck on the straw anyway. The other feeling inclined to stomp his feet throughout....ah the joys of children eh?
Those two demons aside it was a very good film - 7.5/10
