“The LEGO
Movie’s” theme song sums up the movie perfectly: “Everything is awesome.” The
movie opens with Emmet (Chris Pratt), a perfectly normal LEGO construction
worker who only wants other people to like him. Emmet’s perfectly normal life
soon becomes anything but. He finds the magical Piece of Resistance, a woman
whisks him away to a different world, and brings him to a mysterious old man
who informs him he is the “special” foretold by a prophecy. Sound familiar? (coughcoughTheMatrixcoughcough)
Emmet must
use the piece of resistance to stop evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell) from
gluing all the LEGO pieces together. With help from Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks)
and Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), Emmet meets up with the other Master Builders,
which include Batman, Superman, Abraham Lincoln, and Robin Hood, among others.
The
animation is amazing. Everything is made of LEGOs. When something catches on
fire, there are pieces of LEGO fire everywhere. If something explodes, little
LEGO bricks fly into the sky. “The LEGO Movie” makes the animation entertaining
in and of itself.
“The LEGO
Movie” has everything a successful movie needs: humor, good plot, good voice
acting, and good voice animation. It will entertain and delight viewers of all
ages, and is well worth the price of a movie ticket.
