The Lego movie review.

"But Vollmain, this isn't related to Frozen or Fire emblem how could you?" Hmm what? Sorry I wasn't listening.

The Story:

So the movie starts off with this epic scene where the bad guy "Lord Business" breaks into a vault inside a volcano, where Vitruvius (a wise old wizard) is guarding an ancient artifact known as the Kragle. Lord Business takes the Kragle after defeating Vitruvis, but before he leaves Vitruvis speaks of a prophesy of the "special" who has the power to beat Lord Business.

8 and a half years pass and we meet Emmet Brickowski, a minifigure who lives in the new world that has been created by Lord Business. Emmet literally blends into the crowd because the world that he lives in has a strict set of rules, that have pretty much brainwashed the entire population.

After a mysterious woman bumps into Emmet, he finds a magic artifact which knocks him unconscious. When he wakes up Emmet is interrogated by Bad cop, because Lord Business thinks that Emmet is the special, and because the artifact is stuck to Emmet's back. Afterwards they take Emmet to the Melting chamber to remove the artifact and kill Emmet, then the woman Emmet met earlier breaks him out. Emmet learns that Lord Business is going to end the world on Taco tuesday, and that he must save the world.

The Movie:

Yes this has nothing to do with Frozen or Fire emblem! But I have decided to also post things not related to those two on the weekends to change things up. Anyway, moving on.

This movie, this movie! It's awesome. You know how the trailers make it look extremely awful? Well it's not, this movie is lots of fun. You may be saying that in the last post I told you to stay away from animated movies, but I was talking about certain movies about dinosaurs, and nuts.

Why do these movies exist?

So what do I like about this movie. Well I could say the whole thing, and just end the whole review right here but what fun would that be? I don't know, pretty fun for me. Well the jokes are particularly hilarious. Almost all of them are about the way Legos move, and also lego in jokes, but theres also references to Batman stuff, and man it's just awesome. Everyone in the theater was laughing all the time. It's a testament to the writers of this thing, good job guys.

There are tons of different characters in this movie that are all fun to look at. While not all of them get tons of backstory and character development, almost all of them get tons of laughs. And the ones that do get development are well written. In fact one of my favorite characters in the movie is Bad cop, Good cop, who is played by Liam neeson. They make this character a likable villain from nearly the beginning, and I loved it every second he was on screen.

One of the interesting things about this movie is it's ability to make things funny and sad at the same time. A few of the characters in the movie die, and yet you laugh and get sad at the same time because of the unique and funny ways they die. At one point of the movie I was sad and laughing at the same time. It's kinda like your torn because it is a very dramatic moment but is also really sad at the same time. And you know this isn't a bad thing. It seems like it should be but it's not, it's kinda weird.

Music and Presentation:

The Music in this movie is interesting, from the trailer they make this song "Everything is awesome" seem like it's really obnoxious. But in the context of the movie the song takes on a very different meaning. They sing it at the beginning of the film when they are in the city, the same city the Lord Business has made into a dystopia. And the irony is that everyone loves a song that is about conforming. Everything is awesome my butt! This place is almost as worse as Brave New World, and 1984!

As you can tell I like the music, as it adds a lot to the overall experience.

Now for the presentation. With this being The Lego movie almost everything is made out of legos, and I mean everything. All the explosions are made of legos. All the water is made of Legos. It's sort of looks like a mix of stop motion mixed with CGI and it works very well. You really do feel like you're watching legos move around and talk.

The Verdict and Final thoughts:

When I saw the trailers for the Lego movie I wasn't very excited, because of some of the lego shows I've seen on TV. But I thought, hey why not it looks like stop motion, and legos. So I went and saw it and my mind was blown. This movie is excellent, and I can't even think of anything wrong with it. I was going to give it an eight with the title of "Awesome" because of the song, but really this movie is way better than that. So I give it ten out of ten stars!!! This film is a "Masterpiece!"

Go and see it, after Frozen of course.
