BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER
I played with Legos like everyone. I have a place in my heart for them like everyone else. But do we REALLY need a movie? Wasn’t the “Fell In Love With a Girl” video by the White Stripes good enough? My problem is that we don’t need a Legos movie. The fun of Legos is the escapism it allows the little builder to create for themselves. This is basically planting a “how to play with LEGOS” idea in little kids heads. They’ll see the movie and then, if it’s successful and it will be, they’ll just emulate the movie. The cast is killer too. That’s another thing that hurts. Voices of Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Will Ferrell, Nick Offerman, Jonah Hill, Cobie Smulders, Channing Tatus, Alison Brie, and Charlie Day. If that cast was involved with anything else I’d be in line already. Stealing the imagination rights of a child? No thanks!
