    ★★

    I think there were a lot of things I found charming about the movie. The music was very silly and fun, I liked the dance number and some of the banter the characters had.

    The puppeteering on No 5 was really fun, and I really enjoy Syd Mead's design for the robot.

    Obviously can't really forgive the brown face, and pretty much everything about how they handled Fisher Stevens' character's race and presentation, which is a shame because I generally like the interactions he has with Steve Guttenberg's character. A little less racism next time would be nice.

    very neat and cute, as a fan of Pharrell's music and a fan of shiny plastic, but Illumination does not use the medium of Lego ANYWHERE near as charmingly as the team at Warner did.

    Also, not very compelling as a documentary.

    I can respect some of the places where ideas are elaborated on, and I think a lot of the cinematography is really nice.

    I also think nearly every single change to the plot that was made in this movie is for the worse. I might amend this review to complain about these things in more depth later.

    Wouldn't it be cool, if he fought off 30 guys with a bamboo sword??? (jk jk jk jk)
