This movie was about ten times better than I thought it would be. I went because I'm a big Batman fanboy and I knew he was a main character and I thought that he'd deliver Batman lines, but I was pleasantly surprised that the movie was a complete blast beginning to end. My only question now is: when will Lego release their Batwing kit, because that's the coolest loving lego batwing I've ever seen.

Also, we all need to make sure that Will Arnett is the next animated Batman. Because he rules.

I noticed it in the first trailer, and I thought it was weird because nothing else seemed to be non-lego like it, but then the movie made it all make sense.

Thirding the need for that Batwing. We don't have a complete list of Wave 2 yet, so here's hoping.

We did get a little preview of this year's Simpsons line with that little Milhouse cameo. I really wish this set wasn't so drat expensive. (Something like $220)

Seen it twice already with my wife, and we've been talking about a third time. It's really visually stunning and I had to show her this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq_tqsasgoI before she would believe it's all CG. She also got me all the movie sets for my birthday and I couldn't have been happier  It's definitely going to be a first-day blue-ray buy, I can't wait to pause it at all those quick sight gags.

Another neat detail about it with the destruction of stuff, they simulated the construction of the models themselves and the interlocking forces so they'd break apart accurately.

It's made by the same company who makes all the Lego [insert licensed property] games, so I imagine it's a very loose retelling of the story.

After the Lego Marvel Heroes game came out, no one would stop talking about that game for weeks. Since the Lego Movie game came out, I haven't heard anyone say a thing about it anywhere on these boards. I guess that's not a good sign.

I wonder how different a game like that would be in the 2010s. It might just be a Minecraft clone though.

Rewatched it in the theater because why the hell wouldn't I. Minor detail I picked up on this time? Emmet has an actual trophy in his apartment that is labeled "For Showing Up". Also the laser in the melting chamber is an ordinary laser pointer. Crappy Jack fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Feb 16, 2014 |

The songwriters for Frozen worked on both The Book Of Mormon and Avenue Q, which contain songs about an African phrase meaning "gently caress You, God," baptism as a euphemism for sex, internet porn, and how much life sucks.

I saw this in the theater with some of my little cousins today and absolutely loved it, I don't remember the last time I laughed so much at a movie. I'm glad I saw it in the theater, because it was awesome hearing all the kids in the audience get excited and hearing all the adults laugh just as hard as the kids. The part with ghost Vitruvius had me dying, and it sounded like I wasn't the only adult to totally lose it there. About the ending It was a little sappy, but in a good way. The part when Will Farrell opens the building and sees Lord Business is amazing. The look on his face just perfectly shows him realizing that he's the badguy to his son, he didn't need to say anything. I almost cried when he said "So, what would the construction worker say to Lord Business" but I kept it together 'cause I didn't want to look like a wimp in front of my cousins.

I've been playing it; it's not bad at all, about as fun as the other LEGO games. Just probably less interesting if you've seen the film; it looks like it follows the plot pretty closely since they use giant wads of footage from the movie all throughout.

So count me in as one more for the "that was a hundred times better than it had any right to be and I loved every minute of it" camp. Because god drat. They need to announce Lego Movie 2: Invasion of the Duploids. Like, tomorrow.

But do I want my rewatch to be something stunning and terrifying for which my home theater is not equipped, or something where I laugh for ninety straight minutes but would get a decent home viewing experience when t come out on Bluray? Truly the first-world problem of the week. (Answer: see both, buy new television.)

Got stuck next to a screaming, out of control toddler who could hardly contain himself through the previews. This movie starts and this kid's just bug-eyed frozen to the screen the whole time; too amazed by how awesome this film was to say a drat thing. He and I have that in common. My ONLY disappointment would be that this is very likely as close as we'll ever come to a good Wonder Woman film.

We had a toddler (still bottle feeding but ambulatory, I suck at aging kids) who wouldn't shut up through most of the movie, either babbling or crying. And OF COURSE once someone complained, the parents somehow got him to shut up for the time ushers came in to observe. If your kid is young and rambunctious enough that the Lego Movie can't keep him still, don't go to the theater.

Me and a buddy were pumped to go see it but we thought the movie was pretty okay but not particularly amazing. More jokes fell flat than made me laugh and it just felt like i was watching a lego episode of family guy a lot of the time. I liked the visual style but there was soo much motion blur it was hard to actually see the movie and the breakneck pace felt like it's purpose was to just lazily throw everything at the wall and hope you ignore all of the lame gags rather than 'we thought of so many things we had to cram them all into this film' There were parts that were visually pretty stunning and parts that were pretty dang funny but as a whole i would not call it a visually stunning or funny movie it's just an agreeable, not terrible kid's movie with a little bit of subversive flavor. I'd watch it again maybe
