My first impression? GO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW! Ever since I watched the trailer months ago the anticipation for the release has been waining over my head. Sadly I didn't see it opening night, but opening weekend is alright. Fun fact that this weekend movie grossed over 69.1 Million dollars! Beating out Monuments Men which had about seven million.
A few notable bits obviously is the impressive animation and lighting for this film, it was CGI not stop motion. Even though you can be easily fooled. Animal Logic and Legend 3D were the two main animation and special effect companies involved, but the explosive ending credits were done by Scarlett Letters. Also the very witty jokes with something for every audience member. Reaching out to both boy and girl demographics, while still retaining a spot for the adult audiences. Plus even if you are not someone who grew up playing with Legos this movie can still appeal to you. Finally the story in general. It was witty and fun with a few plot twists that I honestly did not see coming. Plus the story was rather consistent implementing a lot of adult humor, that was executed so even a child could laugh at it not fully understanding it.
This film in no way went below my expectations, and I went into the theater with rather high expectations. Mainly for the review done by SoucreFed Nerd, a youtube channel that branches off of Sxephil and Sourcefed. They gave raving reviews, so if you want more info check out the video.
Just in case you need any more reasons to go may I just add in the songs in this film and hilarious and ultra catchy, in the best way possible.
