A fun Lego-tastic ride

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2014)

When I was younger I never played with Lego. I thought they were boring and a waste of time. Now I see them differently. So let's start this review.
So The Lego Movie is about a normal Lego man called Emmet, voiced by Chris Platt who discovers that he is the special and teams up with Wyldstyle (Elisabeth Banks), Vituvius( Morgan Freeman) and Batman (Will Arnett to stop Lord Business (Will Ferrell) from destroying the world.
I enjoyed watching this film very much. This film made me laugh, cry and smile. The laughs mainly come from Emmets stupidity and his discovery to finding out about the master builders and that he is the special. Also his chemistry with Wyldstyle kept me on the edge of my seat.
There are a lot of cameos in this film including Han Solo, Milhouse from The Simpsons, Michelangelo from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Abraham Lincoln, Wonder Woman, Superman and Green Lantern. Also the cast is impressive you have got Liam Neeson, Charlie Day, Cobie Smulders, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill and lots more high profile celebrities.
My favourite scenes in the film include when the police invade the master builders cloud base, the end battle between the Lord Businesses robots and the residents of the city and the big reveal at the ending which reveals that the Lego people are being controlled by a human Will Ferrell.
However my problems with the film are some moments in the film could have been funnier and more use of the 3D would have been nice.
Altogether The Lego Movie is an entertaining film to take the family to watch and will definitely be one of the films of 2014 and is better than the other film I saw this weekend Robocop. 8/10
