The LEGO Movie

[Tonker]

Well, I guess I should have known better than to believe that Chuck might not be at least partially wrong about something.  Like the Curate's egg, this movie was good - but only in parts.  Indeed, there were several flashes of absolute brilliance and definitely a few laugh-out-loud moments.  The sheer work that must have gone into it is mind-boggling.  Nonetheless, there were stretches that were... how can I put this?  Dull?  Boring?  Flat?  I nearly nodded off once or twice.  A big, fat, meh.

This is great news.

You didn't like it because you don't like me.  Your loss.  It's awesome.

Hang on... who doesn't like who?  I don't like you?  I like real-life Chuck very much indeed.  One of the most stand-up guys I've ever met.

As far as the film is concerned, I really wanted to like it.  I really tried to like it.  I just couldn't.

A bit like, you know... Internet Chuck.

I can see being kinda bored the first 20 or 30 minutes.  And I can see how that might tune you out to the rest of the film.  But once they got on the ship and the awesome cameo ship appeared, I was reengaged and thought it was as funny as any movie I've seen in years.  Then, once it got to the third act, I thought it got Toy Story good.  And the last line? Applause Laugh Funny.

I can also see it being built up too much my critics and people like me raising expectations (as has happened to me many times) and it not being as good as it was made out to be.

Maybe you just need to get away from Denmark.

I'll tell what did make me LOL heartily: 80's Spaceman's helmet.

We just saw this last night.

James went fucking apeshit over this thing and that's enough to give it a high grade because wow the kid can watch a whole movie now.

But I loved it anyway and think anyone who likes funny movies and thinks LEGO are neat should see it. Chris Pratt was awesome as the main dude.

The jokes were good without being raunchy which is impressive and good.

And Charlie Day as the 80s spaceman yelling SPACESHIP was hilarious.

For probably the first time ever, I'm going to agree more with Chuck than Tonker.

As am I.

Thirded.

Batman was fucking hysterical.

Yeah.

But that fucking song never leaves your head.

Imagining having a 9 year old sing it all the lived long day.

But the movie was great, I'm buying a double couch as soon as I can.
