If you’re looking for a movie that is funny, visually appealing, and just…. well… fun, then try out the Lego Movie.
The Story:
The movie begins where a wizard by the name of Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) is in the process of protecting a super weapon called the Kragle (which is really a tube of super glue), from the villain Lord Business (Will Farrell). Lord Business steals the Kragle, but is warned about a prophecy where the Kragle will be stopped by the “Piece of Resistance” (which is really the cap to the tube of superglue).
Meanwhile, we meet an ordinary Lego Construction worker by the name of Emmet (Chris Pratt), who sees a girl on the Construction site, and in admiring her attractiveness, she sees him, and runs away. In trying to run after her, he falls into a hole where he somehow ends up with the piece of resistance stuck to his back. Amidst having to meet some resistance of his own for simply possessing the piece of resistance (though unknowingly), the girl who he chased down the hole, whose name is Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), helps him escape and joins him to help save the Lego Universe from Lord Business and his use of the Kragle, which Lord Business intends to use to freeze the Lego universe in place. As the story unfolds, Emmett and Wyldstyle are trapped again by Good Cop/Bad Cop (Liam Neeson) but is saved by Lego Batman (Will Arnett), who is Wyldstyle’s boyfriend. As the story unfolds, Emmet learns a lesson in humility, and by his own creativity, will, leadership, and sacrifice, he leads his team of friends to try and stop Lord Business. In this, Emmett makes his way into the real world, where the film takes an extraordinary twist.
I really enjoyed this movie for a variety of reasons; one of them being is that it’s simply fun to watch. It’s fast paced, energetic, and highly creative. The lessons in this movie are also very admirable as well, in that we learn that extraordinary things are done by those most deemed as “ordinary.” In addition to this, we also learn some dynamics about leadership and teamwork. Apart from that, the twist in the film is very original, imaginative, and clever, giving the movie its distinct quality. All in all, it’s a movie that is fun for kids, yet carries numerous characteristics that are attractive to adults as well. It is a film I highly recommend.
The film is rated PG and runs approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.
