Childhood Toys That Exceeded All Expectations

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2014)

Do you ever get one of those days where after seeing or doing something with someone or by yourself that end up feeling like a kid again?
That's how I felt after going to see "The Lego Movie"
After seeing the trailers for this film prior to seeing it, my initial thoughts were "how far will they go with Lego?" But, despite this, the film really surprised me because of how the filmmakers created the film.
I imagine that the creators of the film had so much fun putting it all together (no pun intended).
Following the normal day to day business of the main character, Emmett, at the start was really bizarre but it reminded me of what I was like when I played with Lego as a kid.
Lord Businessman (voiced by Will Ferrell) who appears as the dad of a young boy later on in the film is a great antagonist in the film at the start and some of the cameos were really impressive because of how much care the filmmakers took in creating the detail of the Lego figures and settings (old west, cloud cuckoo land and Emmett's home town to name a few of the settings and Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Batman to name some of the cameos.)
The soundtrack is really good especially the song "everything is awesome," which is heard several times during the film and featured in the end credits.
Seeing the film in 3D as its actually really impressive especially during the battle scenes.
All round a great family film that will entertain the kids and in my case those that loved playing with Lego and still do.
Whether you're young in age or young at heart, this film will make you feel special, like a kid again and want you to dig out your Lego and make awesome creations.
