a5c7b9f00b The evil plans of Lord Business to ensure order in his world with a powerful weapon is in jeopardya prophecy about 'Special' comes true with the discovery of 'Piece of Resistance'. With odds like Bad Cop, Micro managers and 'Man from upstairs' stacked against him during his journey to save the world; Emmett, a construction worker, has a long way to go before he succeeds. Emmet Brickowski a normal, everyday normal minifigure goes on a adventure with the master builders Wyldstyle, Benny, Unikitty, and even Batman. The master builders have to defeat the evil Lord/ President Business from Kragling (gluing) the world of lego. I had high expectations going into The Lego Movie due to the star-studded cast. However, I was extremely disappointed. Although overall I still did enjoy the movie, I struggled when the live-action came into play. This is not because I do not enjoy the mixing of worlds; I loved the use of the "man upstairs" and was willing to suspend my beliefs enough to enjoy the little boy using his imagination and making these characters come to life. However, I struggled with the fact that even when the boy was no longer playing, the Legos were still in action. It gave us a dilemma in which nothing was happening either way - the Legos weren't real because it was all in the son's imagination, but at the same time, the son's imagination was not driving the plot any more. It feltif I had wasted my time becoming invested in these characters that mean nothing. By the end of the movie, it was just about Will's character (the dad) overcoming his OCD. It's certainly entertaining up to a point, but the third act doesn't work for me. This film definitely thinks it's cleverer than it actually is. But, you can give it some slack, because the 'Everything is Awesome' song is so catchy. Lord and Miller do great work within constraints, taking pre-made pieces and fashioning them into feats worthy of applause. It's no wonder they made a Lego movie — and it's no wonder it's so good.
