I would prefer watch a black and white russian movie with 7 hours than watching this piece of garbage again

This felt like required reading for the movie…it seems like Elemental flopped because it was TOO personal and buried in a relatively high concept

All I can say is: I should've watched it sooner. I started to watch it a little bit skeptical but found myself laughing at the jokes and rooting for Emmet throughout his journey. A definitely pleasant surprise.

We used to build a huge city out of Legos, and then rain fire on it with marbles when the parents left...ahhhhhhh the 80's were a better time

Far more fun than the concept really had any right to be, braving new horizons while still remaining loyal to the beating heart of the product and its passionate generations of fans.

Simply enough, this is a perfect encapsulation of the kind of imagination, enthusiasm, adaptation and sheer randomness that runs like lifeblood through the spirit of a happy childhood. It jabs in delightfully unexpected directions. It bends physics without an explanation (nor a need for one). It casually hops from one licensed fantasy to another, mashing Green Lantern with Gandalf, and doesn't even slow down to consider the repercussions.

At the best of times, I felt like I was a kid again myself, lost in nostalgia and the infinite potential locked away within every new block. And while the last act overreaches in an effort to really hammer the morals home, otherwise this is pretty much a direct hit. Crafty, funny writing, a dazzling array of vocal talent and a playful, distinct visual style - this is the kind of family film I can always make room for.

What an incredible story, with so many layers, I've honestly lost count.

Please watch it to the very end, it is worth it, believe me! I thought the movie was super average at best, especially towards the end, but there was a specific scene that the moment it happened, certain things about the story clicked, and it became beyong relatable for me within the span of a single second.

To say I'm pleasantly surprised is a grave understatement.

To conclude: everything is awesome.

It’s so funny to me how this kids movie with lego characters has deeper and more challenging things to say than most movies that are made for adults.
The way that this is constructed as a narrative is truly genius.
It’s essentially a big ode to creativity, but it also takes a firm stance about how corporatism can ruin it by favouring predictability and stability.
Not to mention that it also looks great, the voice acting is top notch and the animation is inventive.
And it manages to be funny for all ages.
It feels a bit too long though, which comes as a result of it being as fast paced as it is and makes it overstay its welcome.

The Lego Movie is ridiculously fun while offering more than just that. Richly layered plot, fantastic animation and a sense of humor that is self aware offer more than what you expect.

Anyone rating this below a 7 is a philistine

The IP weighs it down. It set itself up to be inferior but in a vacuum its a decent movie.

First half is decent, then Michael Bay gets "Space Dementia" and gets carried away in the second half.

So bad, it’s good. And that this acts as a permanent record of embarrassment for this cast is the cherry on top. I almost died of laughter when gary oldmans leg was in the shot. Worth the short watch

The intro was great, but the standup is painfully unfunny.

I did not like this movie at all but unlike the other weirdos in the comment section, this movie not being good has nothing to do some characters being gay or people of color. Some of you guys need therapy

Stunning visuals wasted on a shockingly uninspired screenplay.

To enjoy this film you have to buy into its weirdness. I did and had a good time with it, despite the bonkers plot. Cage is great here bringing his usual brand of cool and he is clearly having a good time in the role.

Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man character is easily the best faithful interpretation of the original comics. Peter Park is supposed to be a total dweeb before his transformation to super hero and Tobey nails this arc. I love Holland and Garfield but they’re far too naturally attractive and charismatic to be believable nerds, at least in the classic sense that Stan Lee was going for.

Beautiful film, but pacing is excruciatingly slow as the very simple story is stretched out too much and the characters are too boring to carry it. Its still required reading for movie lovers, but its not a classic I’m wanting to revisit anytime soon

While some of the weaknesses of Moores shtick are present in this one too, they get in the way a lot less than in his later work, and he stays on topic most of the time.

Wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great either. A little boring and goofy humor that didn’t seem to land. My kids seemed to enjoy and and wife said she thought it was cute. Theater was about empty for the opening showing, maybe 8-10 people in the whole theater

There is nothing really bad about this movie, it’s just kind of there, doesn’t really have the heart or thoughtfulness you’d expect from a Pixar film. I don’t know who this movie is for based on the story. It’s baffling why they didn’t just have Tim Allen voice this role.

If you're a sci-fi or Toy Story nerd, this movie will probably prompt more questions than it answers. The world-building is shallow, the sci-fi concepts are under-baked, and the way this movie fits into the Toy Story universe is vague at best.

If you're not worried about that kind of stuff and/or you are a child, then you'll probably enjoy this as a space-y action movie that expands on a character you know, and adds a new bunch that you don't.

Overall, Lightyear is a fine movie, but it definitely feels more like a (2010s) Disney movie, than a Pixar movie of any sort. It's missing a lot of that heart and charm Pixar is so well-known for, and that's probably the most disappointing part of all.

Like an NFT, this looked good but I wasn't invested in it.

Let's face it, if this was Andy's favorite movie, has questionable taste in movies.

I had low expectations about this movie, I didn’t even want to watch it. So, because it did better than I expected, I liked it.

Oh! And I’m a lesbian now :rainbow:

World Premiere Review: Sam Raimi, you legend. This was one of, if not the most, fun MCU movie yet. It's very Evil Dead inspired visually, particularly the camera work. The character arcs here are fantastic, the action is wonderfully violent (the multiverse gives so much opportunity to kill off characters without impacting the main timeline too much), and the pacing is great, just go see it.

World Premiere Impressions: Ugh, Chloe Zhao was a terrible choice for director. How she paces a movie made this feel excruciatingly long. This movie is also very DC in that its so visually dark, depressing, and takes itself so seriously, something Kevin Feige said would never happen to a Marvel movie. Basically everything you hated about Nomadland is in this... Now a handful of bright spots: some decent performances, especially Kumail and his assistant, they saved this movie from being a disaster. The Eternals overall are fine, but its really difficult to care about them considering their origin and nature. I also hated the design of the deviants. I was hoping to see things that had some semblance of Thanos as he is a Deviant in the comics. It appears they are treating him specifically as a "titan". The mindless animalistic Deviants in this are boring, uninteresting.

I had to shift this up my viewing priorities because he said the LGBTQ community gets triggered too easily and it triggered the LGBTQ community. Get it while it's available!

The action sequences were solid, particularly the martial arts, and the casting and acting were also fine but the script is a mess, the pacing is off, and the second half feels goofy and disjointed from the first half. The second half action was difficult to follow and felt like a DC cluster f--- aimed at the Chinese market. HOWEVER, I am looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi utilized in the future films.

No redeeming value. The plot is crap (source material is overrated as hell), production is horrible, art direction is bizarre, and the music is terrible.
