    The Lego Movie

    ★★★★★

    Wow. Just, just... Wow.

    As a LEGO fan, I had very high expectations on this movie. Wonderfully, it beat them all. The stop-motion-like style, the minifigs constricted moves, the everything-is-lego... I mean everything, including explosions, water, you name it.

    And the awesome ending? Wow.

    I'm speechless about it.

    Right now I've only watched the Portuguese dubbed version - which is, let me say, beautifully translated and voiced -, but I pretend to also watch the original as soon as it comes out.

    Talking about this movie, Everything Is Awesome indeed.

    Monsters University

    In my opinion a great movie, clearly done for the people who watched the first - Monsters Inc. - as children: those who are now, themselves, in university. Besides the you-can-only-understand-them-if-you-were-in-college jokes, what I liked more about this movie is the way it goes an "unpredictable" way, which is difficult as you know what comes after.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

    ★★★★

    Although this saga never really called me, buying Disney Infinity meant I'd have to watch it: Jack Sparrow and a whole Pirates playset are part of the starter pack and I knew I wouldn't be able to really experience it if I didn't know its world.

    This said, I liked this movie. I wasn't expecting anything, so the whole movie came as a surprise. Nice story, nice effects, nice acting. Also, I really liked Jack Sparrow - sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow - as a character.

    PS: Infinity's Jack Sparrow perfectly captures Depp's acting, mainly his move.
