The Lego Movie is the story of Emmett- a nobody in the super-controlled world run by President Business- who breaks through his self-imposed limits to save his friends from the Kragle (the doomsday weapon Business plans to unleash on the kingdom to ensure permanent order). Along the way, he is helped by a list of colorful characters, to include WyldStyle, Batman, Superman, Shaquille O'Neal, and other amusing Lego figures from the days of yore.
The movie is fantastic. Those familiar with (at a high level) pop culture and Lego sets of years past will find this especially amusing. After viewing, I was wondering if this was really intended for kids- a lot of the jokes seemed geared towards adults. It's extremely colorful- almost overwhelmingly so at times- but it's surprisingly well-done overall. Well worth a viewing- or more.
Rating: A
