All around fun for the whole family.

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2014)

"The Lego Movie" is everything it was meant to be. Straight-up entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less. The animation, which was a mix of CGI and stop-motion, was solid. One really cannot tell what blocks and sets are real and which ones are not. The voice acting is perfect, and all the actors give the right amount of personality to their respective characters. If there's one disappointment I had, it was the minor lack of humor. Being that this was directed by the geniuses behind "21 Jump Street" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", I was expecting to laugh out loud from beginning to end. But the humor doesn't quite shift into gear until Batman enters, and then the film gets better and even pretty clever, especially towards the climax. Bottom line, "The Lego Movie" is all around fun for the whole family.
