The Lego Movie

What makes The Lego Movie such a success? The characters? Yep. The story? Oh right. What about the music? Indeed, indeed!

Do you know why the little plot twist at the end of the movie works so well? Because it fits naturally into the narrative. When compared to the second Lego Movie film -which recycles the meta-narrative and appears slightly forced -it is clear why so many people adored the first film. It was absolutely fresh and different at the time it got released, and it still seems this way to many of us now.

Yes, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord did an excellent job with their first Lego picture. Before this movie got released, we would not have thought that you could create a compelling story out of what are basically building blocks; but by giving these blocks some soul and great, greater conversations - turning them into lovable and endearing protagonists like Wyldstyle and Emmet - the movie achieved an incredible feat that can never be replicated by any movie! The Lego Movie (2014 is indeed one of the best Lego movies of all time.
