    Vow that might be the most Vow opinion I have ever seen

    This was one of the most consistently funny movies I have ever seen

    I laughed at a couple of the Batman bits, but that was all

  • EtchwartsEtchwarts Eyes Up Registered User regular
    Yeah, I uh

    Usually feel like I can at least respect your Vow opinions, often I even agree with them!

    But I'm afraid you stand on this hill alone

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Eh, I won't bash on it too hard

    It's got some great themes and everyone should see it

    Admittedly I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing the second time I saw it, but that's because, well, I had just seen it the day before and all the jokes were still fresh in my mind, and thus I was looking at the background/little touches.

    I haven't laughed at a movie this hard since Dodgeball.

    I am pretty split on this

    On one hand, it's a genuinely great family movie, and the last scenes were really touching

    On the other hand, I didn't find it funny at all

    So...yeah. It was worth seeing but I don't ever need to see it again

    ...how?

    I don't know how to explain that I didn't find something funny! Other than "it didn't make me laugh"

    I'm watching my clone high dvds and I just want to report that "I've watched the first two thirds of the MC Hammer Behind the Music, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that money never runs out" is still basically a perfect joke

  • DE?ADDE?AD Registered User regular
    I've watched this twice now, and I still feel like I probably missed a dozen background touches.

    The
    hero you deserve
    gag killed at the employee screening, but got absolutely no reaction during the public show.

    Also, I find it interesting that the Green Lantern, the one superhero whose whole power is basically building things, never actually does anything.

    Also appreciate that they used the Green Lantern instead of going for the obvious Aquaman jokes.

    I'd be just fine if every character ended up claimed by an av/sig

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    So I guess I should make sure to see this while it's still in theaters, huh?

    I'd actually even recommend seeing it in 3D, and I rarely do that!

    Though I'd assume it's just fine in 2D too.

    I just find .gifs on tumblr and re-size them either on imgur or using an online image editor if imgur is being fussy

    The cameo by
    Lando Calrissian was my favorite part.

    My mouth was hanging open in that entire scene
    Then at the end when my girlfriend and I did our little "collect our thoughts and talk about the movie" I just sort of repeated BATMAN STOLE THE MILLENNIUM FALCON'S HYPERDRIVE over and over

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    There

    14 over but whatever, if that is enough to infract me then so be it

    Should I have seen this in 3D? I should have seen this in 3D, huh.

    So, yeah, this was fantastic.

    You know though

    I think I'm still gonna check out The Lego Movie Videogame

    They actually got the voice cast to do the game too, which is pretty cool

    Oh, they did? Awesome! I was wondering about that.

    If it just plays like the other LEGO games I would definitely give it a go in that case

    Everytime I try to reason out why this movie should be good, I fail miserably. When you lay out the bullet points, I feel like it should land somewhere between forgettable and obnoxious. And yet, here we are

    It's one of those movies which just sounds like a bad or pandering idea, but then succeeds in spite of it.

    For an example of what I'm talking about, "We need a teen Batman!" managed to become:

    Wait what

    Wreck-It Ralph sounded awesome from the word go

  • EtchwartsEtchwarts Eyes Up Registered User regular
    Yeah, Wreck-It Ralph always sounded great

    The LEGO Movie shouldn't have been this good

    It was a non-Pixar, non-Princess 3D movie from Disney that had video game nostalgia as on of its central selling points.

    Talking Heads in the first trailer aside, that movie had every chance of being awful, before it turned out to be great.

    Eh, I guess

    Disney had been on an upswing already though, Bolt was pretty good and Tangled was great, and Pixar had been on a descent between Cars 2 and Brave, so it seemed kinda clear that there'd been some sort of switch after the Disney buyout of Pixar
