The Lego Movie · 2:56pm Feb 19th, 2014
I recently had the distinct pleasure of watching The LEGO Movie. It was a bit of an odd experience, being the only person in the theatre that wasn't a child or a parent, but you know what? That's fine.
The movie itself absolutely blew away any expectations I had. The movie is easily one of the funniest movies I've seen in ages, I laughed more watching this "kids movie" than I did watching In Bruges a few months ago.
The entire first twenty or so minutes showcase an almost Orwellian society, not unlike the existential horror of Plato's Republic. After that, almost the rest of the running time consist of hilarious jokes for both kids and adults, culminating in an ending worthy of Pixar's greatest achievements.
To put in in perspective, this movie is basically MLP with all of the good traits taken up to eleven. It is, quite frankly, the best movie to come out this year, and I have little doubt that it will remain in that position come December.

My views on the first one weren't positive...
And thus I don't have a good feeling about this.

That feel.
Although I probably won't like the music, either.
