Un-necessarily complicated and unfunny movie...

Rating: 3/10 (24 March 2014)

1st watched 3/22/2014 --- 3 out of 10(Dir-Phil Lord & Christopher Miller): Un-necessarily complicated and unfunny movie based on a created Lego world with interesting animation trying to simulate what it would be like if Lego creations were alive. The story is about a normal guy being given the title of savior of a soon to be destroyed world(which is a much used theme). This Lego person named Emmett is a construction worker in a very formalized society who basically has to now think for himself as the savior and new master builder. This is not an easy transition for him and the movie uses this for comedic effect. Will Ferrell provides a voice over of the evil character in the story who wants things to stay the way that they are. Ferrell also has a brief real-life cameo and provides the best thing, in my opinion, in the movie â€“ a song that rolls during the credits about darkness that he ad-libs as he goes. When a credits song is the best thing in the movie than you know it has problems, and this basically is my resolve(it is one big problem). An idea for a movie, complicated and without humor then becomes an overly expensive mess. My question is why was this movie even made ?? I really don't even think kids will get thru the movie without becoming bored. The animation may hold them for a little while but the complications in the plot will drop them from caring very quickly. Avoid this one.
