Everything IS Awesome



Hi everybody, Vince here, back from a massive hiatus while I finish college. I just finished watching The Lego Movie and it, was, awesome. It has been a while since I have watched a movie this good. Believe all the hype you have heard about this movie. It is a wonderful feature that had me laughing out loud several times and tearing up a few times too.I was really concerned that it wouldn't live up to the amazing trailers that have been made for it, but I was worried in vain. The story is about a generic nobody construction worker who finds out that he has the power to save the world. And that construction worker and the world he saves, just happens to be made out of Lego bricks. The story also includes a silly love triangle that doesn't get out of hand, perfect for bringing a significant other to enjoy with you. Normally I would just give the whole plot of the movie for you in summary hoping that I make it sound good enough for you to watch, but in this case, that would be doing an injustice to both you and this movie. The movie has several plot twists so "awesome" that simply mentioning that they exist might be giving away too much. In conclusion you NEED to watch this movie, even if you don’t think Legos are all that great, simply due to the fact that it is an inspired piece of fiction that will warm your heart. It also serves as an example that creatively inspired movies are vastly superior to formulaic recreations of the same story over and over. That’s all for now folks, I'm off to see if the companion Lego video game is also "Awesome" :)
