Overwhelmingly left feeling kind of bored…. 2 hour long movie with nothing that particularly moved me. I found the cinematography and editing to be kind of bleh, 3 instances of low fps slow motion is crazy. Funky jump cuts n kind of lame double exposures. Somewhat lame stereotypical portrayals of honestly every country even tangentially mentioned. Some of the musical numbers were kind of interesting? I think selena gomez has the timothee/zendaya in dune problem where she’s just so distinctly American and popularly recognizable that I struggle to imagine her as anyone else. It’s just like oh Selena Gomez is there.
Was gonna give it a 2.5 but considered recommending it to a human being who I know and couldn’t do it. I’m pretty susceptible to romance and their dynamic was cute for moments but overall movie was 2 whole hours of predictable and boring/corny content. It’s like a marvel movie for meteorologists. Early emotional beats were too early to be impactful, and the first half had this weird “cowboys are the real heroes and science is evil” tone that made…
I was worried that the pg ification would make it overly sanitary but I think the lego medium let them get away with things they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. Genuinely a very inspiring and touching story of the creative process and a pretty visually rich movie. Clearly made with a lot of love and care for both lego and music culture. Also the mini figures were awesome, they did a really good job making recognizable silhouettes (pusha t, jay-z, etc). I wish malice was present in the clipse discussion but I know he’s hard to find now.
