Today is the day we've all been waiting for as the first countries are getting The LEGO Movie in their cinemas. The rest of the world will follow over the course of the next two months, with the US' turn being tomorrow. With an impressive 99% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (only one review 'rotten') and 81 on Metacritic so far, everything is pointing at The LEGO Movie becoming a critical and finacial success.

Today is my birthday, and I've got to say... I couldn't have spent it any better than watching The LEGO Movie. This movie is honestly amazing.

The visuals were fantastic, the story was witty and well-written, the twist gave a very emotional perspective to it and the overall result is a fun movie with actual substance.

 

Loved every character (especially Morgan Freeman's), the fast-pacing, and the references (Star Wars was hilarious, BIONICLE was nice to see).

 

I want to watch it again. It even looked pretty good in 3D. This is one movie I didn't expect to enjoy so much, partly because I am a long time LEGO fan and expected worse. But then again, maybe it's for that very reason I loved it so much - because it was made by people who understand LEGO for people who love LEGO and it worked out just fine.

 

Can't wait to watch it again. 5/5 (BTW, I can't believe it's just over 10 years since the first LEGO movie, Mask of Light!!!)
