The LEGO Movie Review (Spoiler-Free Version)

The LEGO Movie Brick Bust

The big day came and went with much buzz and fanfare, the premiere of The LEGO Movie. As you may have seen, As with The LEGO Group, we’ve been promoting the movie heavily on here and it’s had quite a response. Here’s my spoiler-free review of it.

We first reported about the movie and its casting way back in 2012 and after two years in the making, it is finally here. Even before the movie premiered, the official sets were already in major retailers and on LEGO Shop@Home. When I first saw them, I already knew that it was going to be good. Then came the number of trailers and teasers and that pretty much clinched it for probably for everyone who remotely likes LEGO.

The biggest point in the movie is to build whatever comes to your mind which has always been LEGO’s mission statement. That’s what Emmet has tried to set out to do throughout the movie. He has to find it in himself, with the help of his friends, that he is “The Special.”

The LEGO Movie Brick Bust

The actors and actresses did a great job on their characters. There were also some cool and unexpected cameos that we won’t spoil in this review. The jokes and puns were enough to keep everyone smiling throughout the movie, not too much but just the right amount.

The movie animation by Animal Logic was better than I had expected. All the hard work that the designers put in the CGI paid off. After watching the movie, you … Continue

The LEGO Movie Emmet’s Flying Car Review

The LEGO Movie Toys R US Building Event

Today at Toys R Us stores, they were holding a special The LEGO Movie building event. Kids were able to build and take home Emmet’s car which can also be changed into a flying car. The whole “set” consists of 42 pieces which 40 are used for the regular car and 34 for the flying version. I prefer the regular car because the other feels incomplete but I didn’t expect too much given the pieces used. Below are the instructions for both modes of the car.

Update: Thank you to IconBoy for providing a nice PDF version of the build. You can download it here.

The LEGO Movie Mania!

The LEGO Movie Poster

The big day is now here! The LEGO Movie premieres today at theaters throughout the United States and some of you may have already seen it. Even before the weekend, the movie is already Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% Fresh rating as of this writing.

There are many promotions that are going on that is related to the movie. First is all the goodies you could get even before you start watching the movie. Regal Cinemas and AMC Theaters are giving out exclusive minifigure polybags with RealD 3D ticket purchases. Check out the offers here.

The LEGO Movie Regal Cinemas Bonus

If you’re into LEGO video games, then you’ll be glad to know that The LEGO Movie Video Game is also available today. The game is available at Gamestop, Walmart, and Best Buy. Unfortunatly, the bonus offers were only available for pre-orders. I picked up mine at Best Buy and the Pyjamas Emmet polybag was packaged individually. I’m not sure if other stores were packaged the same or not. The game also includes a $7.50 voucher for a movie ticket purchase. I’ll be reviewing the game as soon as I complete it. Check out the launch trailer below.

Finally, McDonalds has also gotten into the promotion game with some Action Cups. There are 8 total to collect but could be hard to get all of them. I’ve managed to only get one of them because the one I went to wouldn’t break open the boxes for the other characters until they finish up one … Continue

The LEGO Movie Master Builder’s Submarine

The LEGO Movie Patchwork Submarine

An image has surfaced on The New York Times of a ship that was created by various characters in The LEGO Movie including Wyldstyle, Benny, Batman, Vitruvius, Unikitty, and Emmet. The “Master Builder’s Submarine” was created while the group was being chased by Bad Cop and consists of all the builders’ different styles. This creation was created by the film’s production designer, Grant Freckelton and his team using LEGO Digital Designer. My guess is that it is most likely not going to an official set but it would be totally awesome if it was. Check out the video below to see the submarine being assembled in the movie.
