The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. (official distributor synopsis)

Thanks to awesome trailers and great reviews, my expectations were really high. Too high, unfortunately... It turned out to be a decent nostalgic animated movie full of great jokes and one-liners, except that 90% of them were given away by the authors in the trailers, so there wasn't much left. Plus, the final point of the movie... well, I wasn’t expecting anything groundbreaking, but this was really disappointing (even the Simpsons parody was better). In any case, there are also positives – I had fun for the most part, and the Danes are going to rake in loads of cash again.

Everything in this is g(o)od(s). Director duo of Cloudy, with a Chance of Meatballs adapted Lego as… Well, as an angular version of Cloudy, with a Chance of Meatballs. In other words it’s just as unbalanced, but also peculiar, imaginative with masses of sophisticated absurd humor with one gag after the other, goofy and playful. And if the (creative) playfulness is a synonym for Lego as bricks, now it also applies to Lego as a promotional feature film. Which I think is the most important thing. P.S.: Both the dubbing and the translation are extraordinarily good and the brainwashing song is in Czech much more impressive and catchy than in the original.

Everybody I asked if they’d like to go to the theater with me looked at me as if I were crazy, their loss... Bags of fun, full of ideas, great lines and incredible digs, where Gandalf and Dumbledore chat together and the Batmobile is parked on a Lego cloud at the end of a rainbow road. Such an awful mishmash, you just can’t help liking it. That’s what the story is about - a manual against fantasy, creativity struggles against business (Lord Business) using all possible and impossible ideas. The creative Lord/Miller duo mainly wants to put across an important message to children and adults alike: LEGO IS THE BEST! ;-) "We are from the planet Duplo, and we're here to destroy you!"

I was incredibly excited for this movie because I knew that Lego just never disappoints. And it didn't. This is an excellent spectacle that is entertaining and creative in every way. The Lego figures and individual pieces, with their unique shapes, are utilized to great advantage here, and the whole thing just looks excellent. I had a great time with it, especially with all the pop culture references... A ballad for my soul. I literally ate up the ending.

Until the last moment, I couldn’t believe it would be so good. Lego Movie is packed with ideas, both in the visuals and in the dialogues, and it was such an onslaught at times that I almost couldn’t keep up. For a commercial movie for kids, it has some fairly smart overtones and an interesting resolution, which is of the self-serving kind, because it defends all the previous nonsense, but it’s not totally devoid of meaning. Really, I’m satisfied in every sense, this is the first blockbuster (if we can call it that) in a long time that exceeded my expectations. The theme song is so terrible that it’s incredibly catchy.
