Review: The Lego Movie

The popularity of Lego has grow within the last ten years,since the introduction of the Lego video game series. The Lego Movie brings the fun and excitement of those games to the big screen. The original story centers around Emmet(voiced by Chris Pratt from Parks and Recreation) , an ordinary guy that is happy following the rules through life. His life is thrown a curve when he finds out he might be the "Master Builder" that can take down an evil ruler called Mr. Business(voiced by Will Ferrell). This leads Emmet on a quest, alongside Wildstyle(voiced by Elizabeth Banks) and Vitruvius(voiced by Morgan Freeman), to save the Lego Universe. The Lego Movie is one of the best animated movies that I have seen in recent years. It has so many level of entertainment to it that it is hard not to love this movie. It is fun, energetic and has a heart. The kids will have fun from the opening song(which they will sing long after the movie is over) to the end. The adults will love the amount of stars that provided voices in the movie(Liam Neeson, Alison Brie, Will Arnett,etc). Both will enjoy the amount of recognizable characters throughout the film. This movie is for everyone and will have you with a bigger smile on your face than you entered the theater with.

Rating 9.2 out of ten
