This made me laugh a lot, made me saw "Aww" a lot, and then made me cry a little bit. This is going to be every kid under the age of 10's favorite movie.

I second what eternity said. Exceeded my expectations. Really good stuff.

This might be one of my new favorite movies. I laughed, I almost cried, I was thrilled...at times it felt as if this movie was made more so for people like me who grew up playing with Lego's than it was for kids. Especially concerning many of the jokes. Will Arnett as Batman was priceless.

Yep, nothing but praises to add. Really phenomenal stuff. It's rare that a film produces such quality laughs with a great dramatic revelation without stooping to sentimentality. This pulled it off perfectly.
This is like that movie Identity except much less shitty.

That voice cast is so dense with comedic talent, and yet the funniest performance of the movie was Morgan Freeman.
Yeah, it feels weird to say the words, "Morgan Freeman was hilarious."Quoting number8 (view post)

Liam Neeson surprised me also in terms of how funny he was. The running joke of Bad Cop kicking chairs/stools and going from angry face to smiley face was great.Quoting number8 (view post)

It made me realize that a lot of the irreverent jokes weren't actually irreverent at all and made sense [] I can't wait to watch it a second time and notice all the other foreshadowings I missed.Quoting eternity (view post)

You should spoiler that, E.
I'm confused by the question.

Sorry, I confused myself for a second. I thought number8 was referencing that [].
Personally, I was partial to Allison Brie as Uni-Kitty.Quoting number8 (view post)
This is the film Wreck-It Ralph wishes it could be.
Also, not enough Master Builder Milhouse.
Sure why not?

I was thinking The Matrix, except much more Lego-ey.Quoting Pop Trash (view post)
I enjoyed it, but how many times are we going to see the "schlubby, boring white guy is told he's special for no reason by a mysterious woman and wise old black man, woman falls in love with him, white guy becomes savior of world, etc" narrative? It's getting real old.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
They made fun of and subverted the Chosen One narrative. I think The Matrix similarity was intentional.
