If this movie had DC AND Marvel legos it would be truly awesome but I do not see that happening, also I doubt there will be any star wars or LOTR, which is a shame.

I completely agree, I'm sure LEGO would include all the big names if they could but regardless it's still unfortunate.

Post by: Lakov_Sanite on February 05, 2014, 03:03:02 PM
As someone who grew up on legos this movie was a must see but they really did throw a lot of talent at it.  Particularly the 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' guys, they know how to make a fun movie kids and adults can enjoy.

There are only 40 reviews, and only one negative review. There will be more negative reviews. I imagine it'll settle somewhere around 85-90.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: Shannow on February 06, 2014, 01:40:01 PM
That would be historically  good for a movie released in February (http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/brow_beat/2014/02/february_movies_are_bad_here_s_statistical_proof_of_it.html)

It's up to 71 out of 72 good reviews, I am actually getting psyched to see this.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: sickrubik on February 06, 2014, 04:07:11 PM
Yeah, this is getting silly. I was interested in seeing it, but assumed it would be "okay", not "MUST SEE".


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: angry.bob on February 06, 2014, 10:25:14 PM
Come on. Lego Batman is the boyfriend of the Lego Elizabeth Banks and is written to be a gigantic douchebag. Also, Gandalf is supposed to be in it aw well as a bunch of Star Wars Legos. My kids and I can't stop singing Everything is Awesome in horrible falsetto. You know this is a great movie.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie

It isn't Gandalf, it's Morgan Freeman playing some new made up guy IIRC.

That is great news. As the father of a LEGO-crazed 5 year old, there was no chance I would get out of seeing this. Glad it is watchable!

They were thoughts that Gandalf was in there in addition to the Morgan Freeman role. But, I'm guessing it's likely just a rumor eating it's own tail.

So. Uh. it's up to 104 reviews with 3 negative reviews. Stunned. Can't wait to see it now.

Just got back from watching this and even though I had high expectations I was not disappointed.  I was not expecting it to go where it did andthe whole movie took on a gravitas that all kids movies could learn from.

Batman's song lyrics


This encompasses how awesome this movie is.

Post by: Cyrrex on February 08, 2014, 08:10:59 AM
So I really wanted to take the kids to see this, but basically all the theaters around here are only showing the dubbed Danish version.  I know why they do this, but it still pisses me off.  Some movies just don't do well when dubbed, no matter what local talent they get to do the job.  Guess I have to wait for BluRay.

Title: Re: The LEGO Movie

Kids loved it. I loved the 'lego' look. I hate to say it (and I'm not sure if it was because I have a cold from hell and my bladder has turned into the size of a pea) but did the ending go on for like 15 minutes too long?

Outside of that ....Everything is awesome.

I'm 50/50 on the spoiler because considering all the other talent in the movie it's possible but I'd have to listen again to be sure.

I was surprised by Offerman. I think he has a future as a voice guy beyond just his "name" recognition as I didn't even realize it was him.  BTW, I looked it up and answered in an edit up there.

Completely agree. I fucking loved it, and can't wait to watch it again when it hits video.

Lol I know right? We just got back. My wife and I think this is the Frozen for boys. It's basically a genderless pic of course, but this will be on non-stop for months if you have sons :-)

This was a fantastic film. I don't know who could find stuff wrong with it. It's not even anti-corporate because of how it all wraps up. I mean, even the parts they make fun of about corporate life are the very things the suits and ties make fun of themselves.

It's the ultimate everyman movie.

Ok, saw this tonight and Elena liked it lots.

I'm not sure.  Some bits cracked me up and the voice and characters were cool and all, but I dunno.  I really didn't like the IRL stuff (why, yes, thank you, I understand that was the point of the movie) and I dunno, it didn't really...set me on fire.

Spaceship bit was gigglesome tho.

Sorry. 

If it helps, there are movies I like.  I'm not like this huge negativity beast of whatever.

And I missed Frozen, which Elena and Wife tell me was super.

Frozen was good, but I doubt you would enjoy it as much as the ladies. It was very Disney-princess. I liked LEGO a lot more.

I'm not particularly ~yay princess~ (as you guys have surely noticed) but I think overall I liked Frozen a little more, just because it didn't feel the need to punch me in the face with its MESSAGE. On the other hand, I only liked two of Frozen's songs. I liked all of The LEGO Movie's songs!


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie

They dropped the ball with the message portion of the movie, it broke the flow and broke the fun.  But aside from the one (major) speedbump, the rest of the movie was fantastic.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie

I disagree but mainly because that particular father/son interaction hit me right in the feels both directions (i.e with my dad and with my son).

I don't really object to its presence, but it felt like it dragged on longer than it needed to. (Which is weird given the movie was only 90 minutes.)

I utterly disliked the real world portion of the movie.  It took me out of the story they were telling me, and didn't add anything to the experience.

It did break the fun for me, but only because if put the spotlight on how I've become my Dad when it comes to letting my kids play with my "stuff". I felt like a hypocrite and a greedy, petulant dick after the movie. My basement is a manchild wonderland of Unbuilt model kits, unbuilt garage kits, unbuilt warhammer shit, etc. There's more of it than I could ever put together in my remaining lifetime, but that didn't stop my from guarding the basement door like a dragon. After the movie I let my kids each pick out whatever they wanted to build, and the three of us sat down and built models together. Well, anything except the tanks, those things are $50-$70 bucks each.

Stupid movie, teaching me lessons and crap...

I never get tired of this place.  Reading the comments you'd think this lackluster piece of cinema was something best saved for watching until it was free on tv, not one of the most well received movies of the last few years.

I get people have opinions and really I'm not shitting on you guys, it just boggles my mind how opinions can vary so wildly.

Fuck the Oscars. It's amazing they even have an animated category.
Considering that a pixar movie has won, what, like 10 or so out of the last 15 years, I am not sure it is fair to call it an "animation" category.  They should just give pixar an honorary academy award every year for free and let someone else actually have a chance.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: sickrubik on January 18, 2015, 01:32:34 PM
Wait, are we still bitching about cell vs 3d? In 2015?

Anyway, Pixar makes great movies, and generally deserved the award. In review, since the category was introduced, Pixar has been nominated 9 times (out of 14 years), winning 7.



Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: HaemishM on January 18, 2015, 08:31:51 PM
Not saying Pixar might not have deserved their awards, but Lego not even getting nominated is just horseshit.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: sickrubik on January 18, 2015, 09:27:44 PM
Sure. Dunno what that has to do with Pixar though. My response was mostly directed at SurfD.


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: SurfD on January 19, 2015, 12:20:50 AM
I was just ribbing the Accademy on the fact that every time Pixar has a movie in the running, they are almost statistically a lock for the award.  Winning 7 times out of 9 is pretty crazy from the same studio.  Especially when you consider that the only reason they didnt have nominations in some of those years was simply because they didnt have a movie to nominate (and you can bet that if they did have one,  there is a good chance it would have won).  We always kind of joke around at work that that the Accademy needs a "best pixar movie" category, so other stuidos can have a shot at best animated.

(also, I personally think Cars should have had the award over Happyfeet, but that's just general bitching about Accademy shit in general) (I also knd of aggree with you about Paranorman, but then, I also think that full on Claymation stuff like that should argueably have it's own category, as it is so far and above different from normal "animation" that the two really are not comparable in the same sense.)


Title: Re: The LEGO Movie
Post by: eldaec on January 19, 2015, 01:01:32 AM
The only Oscar choices that turned out to be obviously wrong are picking Shrek over Monsters Inc, and Brave over anything else. Which is still 7 of 9 for Pixar.

Not nominating Lego is an oversight but the Oscars actually do pretty well in this category.

I actually think everything 2012 was better than Brave, and I didn't hate Brave.

2009 was a year where it was unfair because everything was so good.
