A Joy!

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2015)

Animation Movies continue to mesmerize with 'The Lego Movie'. This is a Joy of a film, a roller-coaster ride, that you wish didn't have to end. Yes, its that superior a film!
'The Lego Movie' Synopsis: An ordinary Lego construction worker, thought to be the prophesied 'Special', is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the Lego universe into eternal stasis.
'The Lego Movie' is visually dazzling & its heart touching narrative compliment each other, magnificently. The story about the "special" within us all, is told sensitively, although there are some mind-bending action bits here too. Its eventually a tale about finding the better in us, in a world, where the good is dying slowly, but surely. The message is important & its delivered with zeal.
Phil Lord & Christopher Miller's Screenplay is delightfully entertaining. it borrows some of the most iconic characters of film history & pitch them in perfectly, without ever looking overdone. The Writing is super-strong at all times. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is dazzling. The Visual Effects are OUTSTANDING! A Special Mention for Mark Mothersbaugh's Score.
Performance-Wise: Chris Pratt leads the pack & enacts the unlikely protagonist, with full commitment. Elizabeth Banks as Wyldstyle, is charming. Will Arnett as Batman/Bruce Wayne & Liam Neeson as Bad Cop/Good Cop, are the show-stoppers though. Morgan Freeman as Vitruvius & Will Ferrell as the villainous Lord Business, also leave a solid mark.
On the whole, 'The Lego Movie' is truly a masterful tale. Two Thumbs Up!
