The movie's central character Emmet (voiced by the talented Chris Pratt), a follow-the-rules everyman in a LEGO city, has been mistakenly identified as the "Master Builder" because of a piece of resistance attached over him. He then, joined a fellowship of builders that includes: Vitruvius, Wyldstyle, Batman, Benny, Uni-Kitty and Metalbeard. Together, they must stop Lord Business from putting Lego land from disaster.
The plot is simple, and it's been rehashed a thousand times already. But what made this film stand out of the same brand is its undeniably amazing humor from "21 Jump Street's" Christopher Miller and Phil Lord. An effective cameo towards the middle of the film involving a "hyperdrive" got me laughing so hard. The timing of the film's humor was fascinating. A lot of Lego throwbacks here and there, it will definitely please every fan of the product.

The only problem I can give is lack of character development, mostly on its side characters. And expecting a lot to Channing Tatum voicing as Superman, but ended up disappointed with him showing up in just a few scenes.
It's a movie that doesn't come out that often, and 'The Lego Movie' "builds" something we can always "connect" to with its message. Simply, everything about it is awesome!
The geek rates it 4/5!
