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)

The Lego Movie captivates at first glance with imaginative animation based on the globally popular building blocks. The film is also not without a certain originality when it comes to the script, where basically anything is possible, as long as it can be "rearranged" like Lego pieces – which was, however, one big and fundamental problem for me. In some places, I found the plot a little too disjointed. Of course, I accept the fact that this is an animated fantasy for children, where anything is possible, but everything has its limits. I liked the live-action insert, even though the film could have done without it – it seemed too overdone. Still, this is an unpretentious diversion, which will find both its fans and its detractors through its unconventional concept.

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.

You don't have to be a master builder to realize that the film's most significant asset is its subversive revolt against the Danish tycoon who churns out one cube set after another, from which it's now virtually impossible to build anything based on your own imagination; the heaps of humor, the Bruckheimer-esque action races and the great balance on all audience target groups are just a nice bonus. 4 ½.

A presentation of Warner Bros. trademarks in the world of the construction-set king. It is the movie with the heaviest product placement ever (if we don’t count Logorama) hiding behind family fun. You take your kids to the multiplex, buy them some overpriced popcorn and on the way home spend the rest of your money in the Lego store. A few cool jokes and thorough technical craftsmanship, but those robotic figures are no more alive than the primitively animated Cartman and Kenny. And the final surprise with the “big idea” doesn’t make any sense.

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.
