The Lego Movie, (Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, 2014): Australia; US; Denmark

Reviewed by Thiago Coelho. Viewed at the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara.

The beginning of this animation is frantic. Without presenting the characters, or the tone of the film, the viewer is thrown directly into the plot, with the conflict between the residents of a quiet market town and interested only in profits president. The robotic movement of Legos and the simplicity of the expressions are used to create one of the most corrosive representations that the American film ever made on the sale. Emmet, protagonist and anti-hero of this story, is a simple man who obeys orders and agree with all the measures of the president.

He regards information on packages, purchase expensive products and repeats to exhaustion unbearable hit local radio: “Everything is awesome,” cheerful music suitable for turning people into easily manipulated sheep. The anti-capitalist beginning is so fierce that seems to open the door to a kind of communist manual of reach of children.

Before venturing into the ideology of The Lego Movie, it is noteworthy that disguises its moral, and the amazing visual production. Exploring the style of Lego toys as a creative engine, rather than limitation, the directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller create action and adventure scenes as long not seen. In Lego version, the natural phenomena (tsunamis, fires, fog) gain aesthetically innovative, exciting contours, blending the most advanced digital technology with the precarious aspect of the game mechanic. The solutions found to represent the movement demonstrate the creativity of directors.

Deserve praise the sense of intelligent humor. From the begin to the end, the narrative plays with the limited structure of the legos (a whole piece representing the hair, hooks instead of hands, walking robotic), reaching apex of hilarity when you try to represent the traditional scene of seductive woman playing with her hair, like in a shampoo commercial, only in this case, becomes the solid hair Mega Style rotating around the axis of the head. The story is also full of satire pop, depicting Batman as an arrogant womanizer, Green Lantern as a second line superhero, and including in the same room Chewbacca, Abraham Lincoln, Gandalf, Dumbledore, unicorns and Shaquille O’Neal.

However, not everything is awesome: the 3D is used carelessly, in scenes that little exploit the third dimension. In addition, the 3D projection too dark, losing the brightness and color of a movie that just supports the multicolored aspect, bus is also a great movie to watch in a big TV, and you can even go to a top rated in ga for atlanta home theater store, to setup your TV for this type of movies.

But these problems are small near completion. In the end, The Lego Movie takes a totally unexpected direction, whose task is to make two more explicit aspects: 1) The uplifting message, combining two almost antagonistic slogans, “United we stand” and “think different from others”, 2) The fact that this is a great advertisement for Lego products, making this work the first advertising campaign 1h30 long on the big screen.

I didnt see the movie, but I heard the Lego-song and it was a fun uplifting song. Guess the movie was the same, and I agree with u that it feels like a 1h30 long advertising campaign for lego!

PeytonStrait 03.05.15 / 4pm

Thiago, I saw the Lego Movie a couple of months ago and thought it was amazing. I couldn’t stop laughing throughout the film and like you found the humor to be quite intelligent. Which was a surprise to me because I came into the movie thinking it was going to be exclusively directed towards children. I also like you thought the animation in the Lego Movie was amazing. Throughout the film I was mesmerized by the wonderful colors brought onto the screen and thought the individual lego characters had been animated perfectly. I did not see the movie in 3-D but after reading your review I feel as if I didn’t miss much. Overall I agree completely with your review and also thought that this movie was great advertisement for Lego. It certainly made me want to go out and buy a lego product.

KaiLaMacalino 03.10.15 / 5pm

Thiago, I saw The Lego Movie in theatres when it first came out. I honestly didn’t think it would be very good, and that it was pretty much a film-length advertisement. I ended up going with a friend who really wanted to see it, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I think that the writing was undoubtedly cleaver, with both wit and wisdom. I thought that the visuals were very well done, and enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the storyline. I liked that Lord and Miller explored the topic of conformity versus creativity, and that it sends the message to be creative in the face of difficulties.

Rei Satoh 03.11.15 / 1pm

I saw this film in the theater and I loved it. I thought it was funny and heartwarming. I also enjoyed listening to the song “everything is awesome”. it is a song that stuck in your head, and I like the positive/optimistic lyrics.

Grant Wirthman 03.13.15 / 9am

I have seen this movie a coupe a times now and found it to be great. The whole time I could not stop laughing, and was even laughing so hard I cried at a few points. I think the poor imitations of the Super Heros were especially funny. I agree that the visual production was amazing. The producer did an excellent job of portraying the Lego characters movements. The twist revealed at the end was mind blowing to me. This movie gives off a great message to be your own person, and not conform to a greater good.

Isai Hernandez 03.13.15 / 4pm

I did not get a chance to see this film in theaters but I my younger brother enjoyed the film immensely. He liked all the different types of lego people they added, it made the film more fun and exciting. not sure if it’ll appeal to me though, it seems like a good family movie with all its witty humor. i was a thrown off by the 2 uplifting messages that the film uses. it seems odd that they’d use two ideas that in a way contradict each other. I dont think the film should be looked at as 90 minute advertising campaign for lego, just because they use legos in the film,

James Brakka 03.13.15 / 5pm

Thiago, nice review. I liked your analyzation of the directors use of the LEGO piece nature of the film in new and creative ways. I have seen the film too and always found that I was noticing interesting things in the plot or action of the film that coincided well with the fact that all the characters and setting are made of LEGO. However, I thought what made the film was the ironic cameos and radical humor rather than a advertisement with poor 3D use. I also enjoyed the twist at the end with the funny guest appearance of Will Ferrell.

Monica Negrete 03.16.15 / 10am

Seems like a funny movie to watch with kids! I’ll have to give it a shot because the kid I babysit is obsessed with Lego’s! I think the animation sounds pretty cool… Bringing Lego’s to the big screen sounds really interesting and I’d like to see how they managed to animate them.. Thanks for the review! I would not have even known about this film without your review!

Brittney Ackley 03.16.15 / 6pm

I saw this film in theaters with the kids I babysit for and going into this movie I really did not want to watch it but I am happy that I did because I actually really enjoyed it. I thought the characters in this film were funny and the producers did a good job portraying them. I thought the song “everything is awesome” was a great add to the film and I left the theater with this song stuck in my head. I also agree with what you mentioned that this film is a great advertisement for legos! I think that this was a really good film review and it described the movie very clearly!

Wallace Swanson 03.27.15 / 8pm

I saw this movie with my family are I was genuinely shocked at how funny it was. Going into it I thought that it was going to be your average kids animation movie, but there were a lot of jokes in the film that were probably only understood by adults. I remember at one point a room full of “master builders” were sitting around arguing when all of the sudden Abraham Lincoln said, “a house divided amongst itself… would be better than this I’m out of here” and then he flew away. I though that line was so funny, and clever there was no way kids watching the movie understood what he meant.

AlexanderPaige 04.08.15 / 2pm

Personally, I really enjoyed this film. I thought that the commitment to every little detail in the film being comprised of Legos was very impressive. When I first watched this movie, I did not have any complaints with the 3D or the brightness and color. This could, however, be due to the fact that I was watching for pleasure and not actively critiquing the film. Your idea that this film was one great advertisement for Lego products also kind of blew my mind. I never thought of this as being possibility, and although I do not think this was the primary motivation behind the creation of the film, it was certainly a convenient byproduct.

Barnaby Hitchcock 04.16.15 / 1pm

I have not seen The Lego Movie yet but after reading this review I am definitely going to watch it. I spent a lot of my childhood playing and building with lego, I have always loved it. Your review gives a great incite into the film and I am happy to hear it is not just a film length advertisement.

The Lego Movie
Thiago Coelho, what a fantastic review. You go into depth about every detail and pick up on many more subject matters than i realized my self. I saw this movie about two weeks ago. let me begin by saying I had no intention of actually watching it, and if it wasn’t the only thing on my friends tv, I probably would not have; but I am glad I did. I too thought the movie was very humorous and did a good job appealing to a wide range of audiences even thought it was directly marketed towards a younger audience. The characters were able to actually create real emotions and represent an actual person even though they were animated characters and some of their actions may not have been realistic.

Kathryn Rucker 04.26.15 / 8am

I’m really glad that I read your review, I tried to watch The Lego Movie a few months ago and couldn’t get into it. I really wanted to like this movie because everyone seemed to really enjoy it, but it wasn’t until I read your review that I was able to understand why it didn’t appeal to me. When I watch movies, I feel like I pay more attention with my ears then with my eyes. It would make sense that if half of the appeal is in the simplicity of the lego’s representation on the television that it would be lost on me. Your review makes me want to give it a go, especially since I managed to miss almost all of the satire pop you mentioned, I think I gave up to go to bed early when I realized the movie wasn’t capturing my interest. I wonder if this movie actually helped the lego industry along, if they make a second film with better graphics I would probably be more likely to see it.

Kori Gibson 06.06.15 / 9pm

Thiago, before seeing The Lego Movie I had no interest in sitting through an entire movie that was about toys. I was pleasantly surprised by how funny it was! I thought the jokes and humor were well thought out and appropriate for children and entertaining for adults. I thought that the exaggerated world of our own American society contributed to the humor. The good cop bad cop character was very funny and added some a twist to his character. I really enjoyed the colors in this film and thought that the graphics were well done. I also really liked how the story incorporated humans with toys. I agree that this movie really helped market the brand

Angelina Vollucci 06.07.15 / 12am

Thiago, I agree that this film used intelligent humor, which made it enjoyable for both parents and their children. The pop culture satire was extremely fun, and overall there was a great message to think for yourself and celebrate your individuality. I found this film refreshingly original, despite the fact that it markets such a well-known brand. The animation was particularly interesting to watch, especially since they created so many different yet vibrant worlds.

Niccolo de Zambiasi 06.07.15 / 7pm

Thiago, Good job, great review. I believe you were right in most of the points throughout your review, however I have to disagree in just a few positions. Speaking about image and graphics, i believe The Lego Movie is instead completely fantastic. it represents to me one of the finest use of CGI and 3D ever brought to the big screen. But, although the message that holds the story if fairly valuable and sincere, in my opinion the emotional message is not so appreciable. Especially because we have to admit that almost fifteen years ago, in Toy Story 2 for example, Pixar was able to transmit the same concepts and emotions in a more subtle way. I do not believe this is a masterpiece like someone has perhaps written, but I definitely believe that artistically speaking The Lego Movie remains a very well done film.

Katie Chastain 06.12.15 / 5pm

I did not see this movie but the children I work with have been talking about this film since it came out and loved it! I do agree that the visual production is well done within this film, but I do think that the animation is a bit scary while watching the previews. As well, I believe that the 3D portion of the film did not show the well-done parts of the films due to their careless attitude on it. Also, I think it is cool that they brought Shaq and Batman and Abraham Lincoln and many other famous people into the film. I believe it gives kids a better understanding of who those people are!

Erik Rosten SBCC 06.13.15 / 8pm

I’ve never watched the film. I had always heard it was funny, and a good movie but I haven’t been as inspired to watch it as you made me. You mentioned the anti-hero as well, made specific examples about the humor of the film, and theorized as to the moral message. You did admit that it’s not a perfect movie and that it is indeed one huge advertisement. Were there still other kinds of product placement? All in all – great review. A review should make you think a little bit, not just tell you the plot of the film. Great job and looking forward to reading more!

Chinongwa Chasakara 06.19.15 / 9am

Awesome review of an awesome movie. I suppose that everything is awesome! :) Watched this movie with a bunch of 25/26 year olds when it came out because we’re all a bunch of hiptsers and we loved it! Great story, great action, great animation. Glad we share the same sentiment.

Ariel Harbin 06.19.15 / 11pm

I have actually never seen this movie but I felt this review explained enough of the movie in detail that I got a good sense of what the movie was about. Although this is a children’s movie it seems like it actually has a lot of adult content as far as humor that wouldn’t be understood by children and themes. Obviously a child’s perspective of greed is different that an adults, where they may acknowledge that its bad an adult will have more experience dealing with those type of people. And thus giving the adult viewers something to relate to and respond to. And the fact that this reviewer acknowledges this film as an advertisement is actually kind of genius, I didn’t even think about that. I don’t necessarily agree with that but its a cool way to look at it. I actually just think that movies have to play up to what is popular with the age demographics at that time and Legos are just always a big hit with kids.

Anthony Babka 06.19.15 / 11pm

I LOVED this movie, it might be because I have been completely obsessed with Legos ever since I was a kid but either way I just thought this movie was awesome. It was pretty funny and even though I don’t really care for animated films I just had to see this one. And I was pleasantly surprised with how much I actually enjoyed watching it. I definitely have some bias towards this film for obvious reasons but I just thought that even how adult it actually turned out was cool. The whole hair flipping thing was just hilarious, well I thought it was. And the presentation of the Legos as actual characters was well done. I would recommend everyone go take their kid to go see this.

Alex Karnazes 07.13.15 / 11am

Without seeing The Lego Movie myself, yet having personal experiences with the childhood toy, I am disappointed to hear the film started off confusing. The original Lego toys were released in 1949 and gained a quite popular and positive reputation throughout children and their parents. With the toys favorable name I would have hoped the recreation in film would have mirrored Lego’s prestige, yet the unorganized presentation of characters and plot proved otherwise. The opening scene of a film should be catching and intrigue the viewer, along with setting up the rest of the film by displaying important aspects (like characters, background, or plot); similarly to a thesis statement within an essay. Unfortunately The Lego Movie’s introduction was lacking, creating disappointed or confused viewers and making it difficult to enjoy the film entirely.

jameskono 07.16.15 / 3pm

I had the chance to see this movie, but not in 3-D, apparently thankfully. I truly enjoyed every minute of this film. I found the humor to be childish at some points and complex at others. Like the physical toy itself, it appeals to all generations. I kind of got the feeling that it was a very long advertisement for LEGO, but that didn’t change how I felt about the movie. The coloring in the film is vivid and amazing, along with the animation. I loved the creativity and how the whole film consisted of toy pieces. Chris Pratt and Will Ferrell were perfect counterparts in this film. I especially liked the “jumping jacks” part and the “double-decker couch.” I also got the feeling of going to a toy store to buy a kit. This film brought back a lot of past feelings and memories of building things.

Kennedy Reardon 07.16.15 / 8pm

Thiago, I got forced into watching the Lego Movie by my roommates and loved it. I had no idea that it would contain as much hidden adult humor as it did. I really enjoyed it I thought it was hilarious. I thought the animation was genius and the amount of well known actors from Morgan Freeman to Jonah Hill even Will Ferrell it was quite a surprise. I thought it was really funny how batman came out of no where and turns out that one of the master builders is dating him. One of my favorite parts is when the main character can only build a double decker couch and he’s supposed to be the prodigy.

Kirin Lindsey 07.18.15 / 10pm

When I first heard that a Lego movie was coming to theaters I was expecting it to be a complete failure. However after weeks of hearing great reviews from kids and adults I decided to take the plunge and watch this movie. I have to admit I was surprised how much I liked the movie. I have to give praise to the countless hours dedicated to details. Every single scene was shot with Legos, I did not expect that, to say the least. The characters also are redefining the stereotypical superheroes as Bat Man is portrayed as an immedicable. Overall this movie was easily enjoyable as the plot was not predicable and the usage of an already popular toy product kind adopted a “pre-sold” tactic, similar to the same strategy used during the promotion of Jaws.

Parker Anderson 07.18.15 / 11pm

I like your commentary on The Lego Movie, Thiago. Your depiction of the message of the movie of “united we stand” and “think differently from others” is spot on. I wasn’t expecting much out of this movie, but I remember being absolutely charmed by it. Not only do I find this movie to have been a technical achievement in its animation style due to everything in the movie including the weather effects being made of Legos, but I also find this movie to be a huge step forward for Lego merchandising. I grew up with and loved Legos, and there had been a few Lego films here or there such as different Bionicle films. This movie, however, combined everything that made Legos great and compiled it all into one movie with wittily written dialogue and loads of pop culture references. I absolutely loved this movie and would watch it again and again.

Alexandria Ramon 07.18.15 / 11pm

I have to say, this was a very interesting take on this highly acclaimed film. I absolutely loved it and so did my daughter and husband. I believe the animation was well done because it seemed to me that the intention was to make it into choppy, Lego-like movements. I thought the plot was creative, the characters were brilliant, and the themes were applicable to the real world. Portraying the Lego masses as sheeple was a clever take on what we now see in our own societies. I felt that it was a film that could be enjoyed by parents and children alike, and as a mom, that is definitely something I search for in an animated film. I agree with most of your analysis though, and it seems that you actually took the time to highlight its flaws as well as its brilliancy, which I appreciate in a film review. Everything is awesome!

MollyMenne 10.16.15 / 11pm

I was very intrigued when I saw that there was going to be a Lego film. My first thought was how it was going to be done and if it could be done well. I had a few friends go see it opening night and they raved about everything. The themes relate to real world themes and concepts. I also believe that the animation was very well done which allowed the audience to feel as if they were in the film. I do like that you point out the satire within the film and the characters such as Batman. I would agree with you on the fact that it may not have been the best 3D film, or even needed but this film was overall amazing. I really enjoyed your review!

Max Weiss 10.21.15 / 12pm

For what initially seemed liked a children’s movie, I found this movie very entertaining to watch. Not only did I enjoy it’s message (which was actually pretty mature), but the wacky hijinks involved in the film put multiple smiles on my face. However, above everything, I most enjoyed the way that it brought me back to my childhood. I, like most of us I assume, played with Lego’s when I was younger. It was me and my brother’s favorite pastime. When I watched this movie with my brother it reminded me of all the hours that we spent building and destroying creations made of Legos. Though I cannot deny that it was essentially a 1h 30m long advertisement for Lego, that matters little to me. The nostalgia I felt was worth it!

Marlee Reed 11.05.15 / 11am

I found The Lego Movie to be really entertaining when I first saw it. I agree that in the beginning, we were thrown into the plot with no prior knowledge, but it was still worth a watch. I had noticed that the directors of the film, also directed 21 Jump Street, so I knew this would be an entertaining watch.

donovan 11.06.15 / 5pm

The Lego movie was incredible. Your review on this film was a great read and opened my eyes on somethings i didn’t quite catch when I first saw the film. The visual effects in the film were unbelievable. The 3D visual effects were taken to another level through animation in this film. They had an all star cast which made the film even that much better. It’s crazy to see how Lego’s started off as a child’s toy and then made into a huge blockbuster. I didn’t expect the film to pull in a whopping $468.8 million dollars at the box office off a $60 million dollar budget. You could say the production use of the High concept method of Marketing this film was the pre-success of the film in which translated into hitting the lottery big time at the box office.

Sophie Gil 03.11.16 / 9am

A movie that screams change and that criticizes the United States in a way that had never been done before. Of course, this animation movie exaggerates the common stereotypes of materialism, optimism and lack of cultural awareness by creating a world in which all people are essentially the same: they think the same way, they act the same way, the dress the same way, they buy the same products, they sing the same song and they are always happy.
Apart from the main message, this movie was absolutely amazing! It was funny, exhilarating and full of fantasy and creativity. As you mentioned, I also love the movie’s intelligent humor.

Brian Anderson 07.18.16 / 1pm

I watched this movie with the expectation that it was going to be a kids movie and it will be boring to watch, little did I know that the Lego movie was full of interesting philosophy and almost like an anti-capitalist movement for young audiences. I don’t know if young audiences were able to understand how the plot of the movie relates to our current capitalist system, but I do know that young audiences were entertained by the actions sequences and some funny humor. This movie reminded me “The Matrix”, it was like The Matrix with different characters and Lego of course. Nevertheless, this movie was a huge Box Office success and it also made huge advertising success for the Lego company. Definitely recommend this movie for all type of audiences.

Nathan Solano 03.11.17 / 11am

The Lego Movie is an all-time favorite of mine, and goes on the list of one the most surprising and under-rated films. The film has the brilliant ability to infuse complex themes and motifs into what should/could be just a basic kids film. I’m glad and amazed that the creators of The Lego Movie tried to go for something more than just a basic kid’s film deprived form and real substance. I believe that this is one of the few films out there where both kids and adults can equally love the film. I agree with you that the directors looked at the unique filming style as an opportunity rather than a hindrance, and by doing so creating a refreshingly new, and pleasing style. While yes, this film is a great advertisement for Legos, it is also so much more. It’s about just another person in the crowd, who tries to separate himself from the masses and become someone he never thought he could be. It’s also about childish wonderment slowly decaying as people get older and having to remind themselves that fueling creativity and lead to beautiful creations. It’s just a great film and an absolute must watch.

emma madrigal 06.27.17 / 11am

i feel like this movie is more for adults, it has a negative message for children. There are some episodes where the legos are having revenge with other legos to the point where they end up gluing each other. I didnt see it as an education movie for children where they can learn something good about it that will help them develop positive characteristics and or gain knowledge.

Jeremy Romash 03.16.18 / 11pm

Let me just start this comment by saying that I think the Lego movie is one of the greatest films made. So much genius in this film. This film sheds a new light on what comedy really is and how films should go about entertaining their audiences. This film is just a great flick for the whole family and will keep you laughing until you have a six pack. If your looking for a film that will really change the way you look at life, I definitely recommend watching this film. This film is just an amazing example of how much the film industry has evolved. With amazing technology to make even legos seem real.

Joseph Landis 10.16.18 / 10am

This movie was absolutely fantastic, it really is one of those films that hits a demographic of all ages. It has a stunning cast and it is absolutely hilarious. It is simply impossible to watch it without cracking a smile at least once. The style of the whole film is also so unique and beautifully done. The creativity that went into this film is absolutely insane. They clearly spent a massive amount of time on and they cared about truly creating an entertaining film. I feel like this film is often forgotten about but its just so well done that, its an absolute shame that we forget.

Emilia Wahlberg 10.17.20 / 1pm

The Lego Movie was a great movie! I really liked it. Though I will say it was a little dark. I think that this movie is very underrated though, and I am surprised that it has somewhat disappeared. The mise-en-scene in this film was a dark take on what could have been seen to most as happy animation. As I said before, this movie was quite dark, which was quite contradicting what one would consider an animation movie about legos to be. I really enjoyed the film, but if I had kids, I don’t think I would show it to them until they were older.

Isain Ornelas 03.26.22 / 3pm

I really enjoyed the Lego movie and I am planning on watching the second Lego movie soon when I have the time. I was really impress of the animation work and realism of the Legos. What I mean by that is when you watch an animation of Legos, the background especially does not scream out Legos. The movement of the characters do not look natural to the actual Lego toy which ruins the aspect of the show or movie being about Legos. That is why I appreciate this movie more since the aesthetics, background, movement, color, and detail of the dents and bricks brings the realism into the film! That is why I really enjoyed it!

Tomo Watanabe 06.11.22 / 11pm

When I was a child, I was unruly and gross. I stole and yelled back at my mom (she was being very rude at the time). I was unhappy and had a terrible relationship with my parents. Watching this movie, the Lego Movie, completely changed my perspective on life. Seeing the fun and creativity this movie possesses, I saw the joy in life! (Batman was so funny too! Haha) I saw the dad and son mending their strained relationship and made me want to change my relationship with my parents as well. This was four years ago, I am now in college and have a full time job. Lego Movie changed my life!

Elijah Simpson 07.16.22 / 4pm

I disagree with you on the Lego Movie being an hour and a half long advertisement. It was much more than that. As a viewer, I fell in love with characters like Emmet, Batman, and many others. This film did a great job of enticing its viewers and staying interesting through and through. Personally, the lego movie is one of my favorite movies of all time so I may be biased. I do agree with you that not everything about this movie is perfect it does have its flaws, but overall its a very interesting and fun movie to watch that I love.
