Lovely to see McG again and have a blether...Nice to meet deb1 & family and scootermcc!
Great to welcome chelle1973, mum & kids to join us in Glasgow as no screening in Edinburgh.
Pre film entertainment was good as kids got their faces painted and balloon sculptor James made items to order, mostly swords, helmets, animals, etc. I was worried we'd spend half the film with gallons bursting but all quiet!
The film burst on to the screen and for the first 20mins it was like being on a roller-coaster . . .everything moved at great speed and I worried that it would burn itself out . . .it didn't!
As others have said, the film was indeed Awesome!
There was a story which had a start, a middle and an end (unlike another recent film
) Kids were enthralled throughout based on the lack of toilet parades! Same for adults!
The story is that of "ordinary" Emmet who becomes the "the special one" and given the task of saving the world from the CEO of a capitalist company. Along the way he meets various well-recognised Lego characters incl Batman, Superman, etc. I loved the Good cop/Bad cop whose face rotated to show 2 different faces . . .eventually having good cop/smiley face erased. I found that there were so many verbal jokes which kids would miss but added to the enjoyment for adults.
I nearly didn't go to see the Lego Movie as I usually go to church and was 'billy no mates' going in this morning until I met up with other Fmukers in the back row. I am very glad I went to see this as I would not have usually pa*d to see a kid's film . . . .I'd have missed a treat which unleashed my inner child.
Great family film and just the right length!
Marks 8/10
