The story of a nobody who saved everybody. The directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and TV's Robot Chicken bring LEGO to life in this stop-motion-simulating adventure. Emmet (Chris Pratt) - a run of the mill, follow-the-rules, decidedly average little LEGO man - is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person ever and the key to saving the world from the evil President Business (Will Ferrell)....

A film that's insane, witty, uneven and almost certain to delight anyone who's ever laid hands on Lego.
A full-throttle, giddily inventive, all-ages joyride that buoyantly boosts the bar for 3D computer-animated movies. Ridiculously funny and meticulously detailed... far better than a toy tie-in movie has any right to be. Despite a couple of dips, you'll be grinning throughout. Time Out New York The script is witty, the satire surprisingly pointed, and the animation tactile and imaginative. Irreverently deconstructs the state of the modern blockbuster... At The Movies (Australia) This is an original and delightful film, perhaps the best animated feature since the last Toy Story... The directors seem so spooked by fears of their young audience's short attention span that some of their best touches go by in a blur.The LEGO Batman MovieUnless you can be Batman. Will Arnett voices the blocky Dark Knight once again for this follow-up to 2014's The LEGO Movie, now putting Batman in the spotlight. From the director of Robot Chicken and Moral Orel, co-voiced by Michael Cera as LEGO Robin, Rosario Dawson as LEGO Batgirl, Zach Galifianakis as LEGO Joker, and Ralph Fiennes as LEGO Alfred.

The Lego Batman Movie - which isn't due for release in New Zealand until April - took the top spot with US$55.6 million, dominating Fifty Shades Darker, which attracted US$46.8 million, according to studio estimates. The spinoff of 2014's Lego Movie benefited from good reviews and a lack of competition in the family space, which is expected to help it maintain its pace going into the holiday weekend, when kids are out of school. A whopping 48 per cent of opening weekend audiences was under 25. It also bodes well for Warner Bros' next Lego spinoff, The Lego Ninjago Movie, set for September. US audiences were slightly less curious to catch up with the exploits of Christian Grey and Ana Steele the second time around.
The sequel didn't compare to Fifty Shades of Grey's $85.2 million debut in 2015. Nick Carpou, Universal Pictures' president of domestic theatrical distribution, said the first movie debuted in a "perfect storm". The film adaptation of the best-selling book had gained immense interest and Valentine's Day fell on a Saturday in 2015, making the movie a date-night destination. This year, the holiday lands on a Tuesday. "This is a great start," Carpou said, noting that the CinemaScore from audiences is stronger for the sequel. "The story will be told through the first part of this week." Fifty Shades Darker fared much better abroad, bringing in US$100.1 million and topping international charts. The other R-rated sequel in theaters this weekend, John Wick: Chapter 2 took third place. With US$30 million, it more than doubled the debut of the original. The Keanu Reeves hit man flick became a sleeper hit on the small screen, and that goodwill helped bolster interest in the follow-up, which is also getting strong reviews.
"People really love its unapologetic violence," said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore. Rounding out the top five were holdovers Split, the M Night Shyamalan psychological thriller that added $9.3 million, for a total of US$112.3 million in earnings, and Oscar contender Hidden Figures with US$8 million, boosting its total to US$131.5 million. View More In Comedy This original computer-animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. A few jokes but nothing to the level of a Pixar film. I wonder if the final sections of the film will be lost on kids or possibly give them nightmares, questioning the nature of existence. A terrible loud racket, not funny and quite boring.Switched off half way, maybe it gets better towards the end? Crazy Movie PersonThe Lego Movie Is AWSOME and Really Funny.
