The characters are blinded, beheaded, defaced, permanently frozen in place, and blown to pieces. But, (and this is a big but), the action is extremely violent. At least s/he will get most of the humor and appreciate the story. All children are different, though, so I would use this as a rule of thumb: If your child loves LEGO and can read the instructions for and independently build LEGO structures, the movie is probably a good bet. My kids think the movie is appropriate for ages seven and up, and I’d say that’s about right. That said, the movie is rated PG for a reason, and it is clearly not intended for all the little tykes we saw in the theater. I spent the first 15 minutes simultaneously guffawing at jokes only the adults in the audience understood and wondering, “Is this movie really meant for kids?” Ultimately, I thought there was plenty for the kids to enjoy in the film, and my children walked away saying, “That was really cool.” The ending was sweet, funny and poignant.
The plot twisted and turned toward the end, giving deeper meaning to all that came before it.I always appreciate when "The Man" can point out his own flaws for the amusement of others. LEGO tossed in plenty of self-deprecating humor.It was nice to see a strong, non-princess female lead character, even if they did make her the object of the hero’s affection.Undulating brick waves, a plastic version of the Wild West, the wacky and wonderful land of Master Builders, the costumes, very creative uses of LEGO pieces – all super cool.
Creating and animating a world made of LEGO is no small feat.
