"That's physically impossible!"
The third Lego movie follows a now-established formula, meaning that it is a lively, colourful, noisy and fun affair but this time with added Asian pop-culture stylings that add interest. Right from the opening sequence you can start ticking off the required elements, but the writing is tight and the voice cast does very enjoyable work. Interestingly, the audience was split evenly between the very young and adults, with the children surprisingly captivated by it all and the grown-ups having a few laughs of their own at lines that went way over the heads of the little ones. The current prevalent Hollywood theme of fathers-and-sons drives the narrative - essentially, it is Luke, Vader and Obi-Wan - but throws in a few moderate reflective moments amidst the mayhem. This silly but reasonably entertaining enterprise does exactly what is expected, not forgetting that it is still an extended and blatant advertisement for toys.
