   As an Avid LEGO fan I have been playing with Lego’s as long as I could remember! So when I heard about this movie coming to theaters I had my reservations. Boy was I wrong! This movie has probably been one the BEST movies I have seen in a long time! It offers a unique experience young and old fans can relate to! I loved seeing pieces and characters that I remember playing with, just brought back tons of memories of countless hours of LEGO building fun!! I will definitely be getting this movie when it comes out! Like everyone else has said, Everything is awesome in this movie! Just makes me want to dig out the ol’ bucket of LEGOs and start building again! I recommend this movie for everyone as it was so fun, imaginative, vivid, and memorable!

   One of those rare movies that’s equally entertaining to kids and adults, February 17, 2014

   This review is from: The LEGO Movie (DVD + UltraViolet Combo Pack) (DVD)

   We saw this movie because my 8-year-old said, “Daddy, can we go see The Lego Movie?!” so away we went.

   So to the question of entertainment value, as I said in the subject line, the adults and kids both seemed highly entertained. We were in a full theatre and one gentleman in particular seemed to be outrageously entertained with his incontinent guffawing. The kids were, of course, entertained enough and the movie had humor working on all levels from the youngest kids to the adults, though nothing REALLY adult, if you get my drift.

   As to production quality of the movie, I was extremely impressed with the level of visual detail. I had assumed that since the Lego world is, of necessity, rather low resolution, that the movie might be clunky but they didn’t shy away from high-definition situations. Seeing Legos animated into an undulating ocean, explosions, fire or billowing smoke and dust was particularly surprising. In a similar vein, if you go see this movie be sure you keep an eye on the stuff going on in the background. I noted several scenes in which what was going on behind the focal point of the camera was at least as entertaining as what was going on in front.

   Lastly, on the topic of actually learning something, this movie was surprisingly deep. On the surface there was a profound lesson on the value of individuality vs working as a team. Often in children’s movies the themes crow constantly about being your own person and doing your own thing but this one has a strong streak teaching the value of working together and accomplishing more than any set of individuals working separately could. Later in the film, parents get a strong admonition about letting kids be kids and practice their individual creativity rather than trying to get kids to fit into strict parental expectations. All in all lot to learn here.

   In summary, Izzy said, “Best movie Ever!” but then she always says that. On my part I wouldn’t say best movie ever but it had a lot to say, was technically well executed and featured lots of famous voices that parents will recognize. I’m not sure what more you could want than that.
