Left you flat, did it?

What part of the 100 min. commercial did you not get? Buy Legos................because.
Part of the problem might be that the movie is intended for children. I found “Star Wars” boring for that reason.
it was a disjointed script. None of the pieces came together.
There’s a great libertarian message that gets completely lost in stupid over the top animation sequences. The main message is “buy Legos.”

Me too. All the build up and no pay off.
Same with How to train your Dragon 2.
Hmmm... I thought everything was awesome...
You aren’t three. My gd loved it
A seven year old sitting next to you.
I certainly didn’t think it was brilliant, but I did enjoy it when I was forced to see it (had to take kids). I think there are two ‘messages’ it has (and I think it’s a positive one).
The first is that an ‘ordinary person’ can achieve great things if they make the decision to stand up for what they believe is right.
The second - what you wouldn’t have got from only the first few minutes (and this is a spoiler) is that what is going on can all be seen as happening inside the head of a boy who is playing with his father’s Lego in a basement. The father is obsessed with work above his own family. “President Business” - the bad guy in the film - is the boy’s image of his father. And when his father does have free time, he spend it with his Lego, while neglecting his kids emotionally. Some of the last part of the movie makes this clear with live action scenes in the basement where the boy and his father reconnect.
Uh, you are not under eight years old???

Were you on pain meds?
Get well soon!
My 7 year old cousin loved it. I loved watching him love it.
You may not be in the target demographic. If you are a hyperarticulate 5-12 year old boy, my apologies.
You got to hear “Everything is Awesome” in your head for two days straight after watching it.
LOL.
I took the kids to the see it at the theater, and couldn’t get that song out of my head for days. Perhaps because they kept singing and humming it...
Yes, and I now its stuck in my head again...
