Movie Review: The Lego Movie

Everything was awesome! Ok, not really, but as a kid who grew up playing with Lego, this film was just full of life and nostalgia. The story didn't strike me as something fresh, especially for an animated film, but it somehow managed to develop an entertaining and charming film and turned a creative piece of work into a colorful cinematic experience. The writing was good given the simple premise, it was filled with interesting action set pieces, and the film was a visual spectacle. Plus, the appearance of Will Ferrell gave the film an interesting dimension, which I didn't expect. By its grand scale and references, The Lego Movie was glorious and an absolute nostalgic delight. 8
