The LEGO Movie!!!!

The LEGO Movie.

If their is one toy from my childhood I became obsessed over again this year it would be LEGO and this movie is the main reason for that. I grew up on LEGO, many a time when  I was younger me and a friend would build our own creations and make weird spaceships and odd shaped buildings.

When I first heard they were making a LEGO movie I thought to myself "this could not work, this must be a joke and no doubt it'll turn out to be total rubbish". BUT I have to say I was proved completely wrong as I really enjoyed this film and at times transported back to my younger self being a massive LEGO fan. 

The main storyline to the film is of course where a normal builder Emmet (Chris Pratt) falls into a world that he never even knew existed. A world of master builders who are going up against the two faced Lord Business (Will Ferrell), he controls the people and makes the feel safe yet he wants to glue the world together to stop people building weird non-conformist creations.

Emmet is of course hailed as the saviour and must find the Kragle to stop Lord Business from going through with his plan and save the world that they live in. All different situations take place, meeting Wyldstyle a master builder she helps Emmet find that inner master builder inside him and hopes to save the world. Building their way through and out of situations like the wild west and a huge car chase you see what the master builders can do building all different machines. 

The storyline may be basic but it is able to show off all the clever aspects of the film, cameos and voice-overs by some top actors like Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Alison Brie, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman and the list goes on really gives it that extra serious push. I loved the way the film worked and the LEGO worked on screen as well it was flawless and definitely kept my attention glued to the screen the whole time. 

Their is only one reason I decided to give the film a 9/10 and not a perfect 10 and that is because for me I wanted SO much more. The LEGO universe has become so huge that hopefully a second film will go into other franchises like Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings or Marvel even which would be awesome to see. I loved the film SO much I becamse addicted to the minifgures and currently have only half (8) proudly on one of my shelves. 

For anyone who made stupid, weird LEGO figures and made up machines and flying spaceships when you were younger then WATCH THIS FILM. You will be transported back to your youth and will no doubt fall in love again with a childhood toy that up until this film was not cool to play with as an adult but now you can be AWESOME again. 

To finish on a pun "everything IS AWESOME" with this film.

9/10.
