Everything is awesome! From the onset, this movie exuded confidence in what it wanted to be and what it wanted to do and it lets you know it. Man, it took me a while to watch this but I gotta say I'm impressed. As a kid, Lego had always been more than the contents of the box. Hell, they even made Lego cameras to film your own Lego short films, so making a feature-length movie didn't surprise me in the slightest. What did, however, was the amount of heart and depth it has. I knew about the big reveal to a point, but it was more than I expected it to be and quite honestly I loved that section of the movie. I could see why it doesn't gel well with everyone and some parts may irritate adults or confuse kids but overall it tells a fun coherent story with subtle to not-so-subtle themes and social commentary. Super solid, you can do a lot worse than The Lego Movie and it'll be one to revisit down the road.
