I believe that among the most telling facts about a film's fortunes and qualities, is the ability to broaden it's public, but in the same time not forgetting that cinema is not all about commercial success and mass audiences. Or with other words a film that is not just eye candy and booms and explosions, but also craft, soul, dedication and wits. Given the many cinematic atrocities that have been produced by Hasbro in recent years, it is completely understandable to approach The Lego Movie with a certain amount of suspicion and dread. However, this is as wildly imaginative and fun as any film you're likely to see this year. Written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), The Lego Movie concerns a lonely conformist (Chris Pratt, extremely personable) mistaken for a prophecy-fulfilling rebel savior. Sweet, humorous and lots of fun. The Lego movie meets and exceeds all pessimistic expectations of this feature.
Rating: 9.5/10 Orange Slices. The Lego Movie
