love on second sight

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2015)

I love(d) Lego... they are among my fondest childhood memories. Even as an adult i consider Lego to be one if not the best children's "toys".
It is exactly that which is addressed in the movie. - the way children use Lego and the way an adult might use Lego - and the movie does a great job displaying it.
I have read plenty reviews that speak of the antagonist as being "evil" - but personally i did not think of him that way. He was using Lego from a different point of view for a different purpose - but of course that prohibited the child to make use of Lego his way. There is a morality about creativity and joy in the movie of course - but most and foremost there is the very basic joy to create.
Style and artistic creativity is well done, the mixture between CGI and stop motion is for the most part seamless.
An easy 8/10 - i had a lot of fun watching that movie.
