Cookies in Jar: The Lego Movie : Review

Synopsis

“The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, opens in theaters February 7, 2014. It stars the vocal talents of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

What I Think

Everything is Awesome. The story is pretty awesome and the introduction of different Lego sets over the years is great too. Though not all super heroes have a big part in the movie, they are equally awesome. This movie will definitely be awesome for Lego fans. Everything is awesome!

Emmet, the main character

Alright. Enough of saying 'awesome'. There is this song, "Everything is Awesome" that is so catchy and upbeat that I fell in love with it! haha. Not going to reveal the whole story, if you are interested about the storyline, read wiki. They have an extensive write-up on the story.

Among the extensive characters, I only know most of the superheroes. But one guy that caught my attention and bring me back memories is... Benny, the astronaut in the 80s. I remember my brother have this spaceship and the astronaut is exactly like the one in the movie, wearing a blue suit! Oh my, it brings back so many fond memories with Lego.

There are many moments that bring some additional highlights or fun factor to the movie.... like the point where Vitruvius turned into a ghost and trying to sound like one. You must definitely watch it with a open mind as it is more Lego-ised than the usual action pack effect, and you will love it.

Here are some of the cool posters I found while googling! haha...
