I've never even heard of this movie, definitely on my watch list now! I love animation and I love medieval-style fantasy, so prospects are good for me liking this one.
I highlighted my favorite line from the review, it was hilarious.
Honestly I recommend it, even with the bad-writing warnings! It's something that I know I would have hated when I was in my not-like-other-girls era that I now really like.
Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.
It sounds like an experience for sure, and that's what I'm after nowadays.
Really? I thought you were more of a twice a week poster nowadays. Movie Reviews
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King The climax of one of the most connected movie series every made. The movies feel like one, flowing steading from the first to the finish. It is hard to rate these movies individually, but it is enough to say this one does the other two justice. This movie is bittersweet in its ending, because now you are done, and you must watch other movies which will likely not match up to the might and power of the Lord of the Rings.
: 4.5
: We could've used even more sets from this movie, especially some version of Minas Tirith. I would've also loved to seen a set depicting the fight between Eowyn and the Witch King with a brick built Nazgul beast. They really missed out by not making a third wave of LOTR sets focused on this movie.
Where the Wild Things Are You'll begin and finish this film wondering why it was ever made. A 40 page children's story does not provide enough material to make a full length film, and the subject material did not exactly invite adaption either. The tone of the movie is too dark for small children, but the plot could appeal to no other audience as anyone older searches desperately for some sort of hidden meaning or insight. Some surprisingly good graphics were wasted on this film, and James Gandolfini's performance as Carol was one of the only bright spots in the muted browns of this movie. The movie elicited a few good laughs, but there are a few disturbing scenes I would rather forget.
: 1.5
: I mean, it'd make for some unique sets, but who would buy them?

The uniquely untapped market of bored children, making the mistake of channel sulfuring at a hotel, only to endure a snippet of an existential crisis while chowing down on a rice krispy.
A small polybag of Max's boat would be a nice gift with purchase.

Not much money to made in that market, but plenty of memories.
Yeah, it would. Max at least would translate well to LEGO. I think either brick-built or figs of the creatures would result in nightmarish results. Movie Reviews

4.5 stars is low, sorry. 5 stars, perfect movie.
Yeah we needed more sets. All we got from RoTK was Shelob, black gate, and the Corsair of Umbar ship. Not the worst lineup, but a bit underwhelming.
I can't believe I had the same awful signature for nearly 8 years. Sorry for disappearing for 2 months, life happened for a bit.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers This movie carries you from movie one to movie three, but it does it so splendidly as to outshine both. This is the good part of Lord of the Rings, the characters have been introduced, the stage has been set, and now you can sit back and watch them be epic, or funny, or heart-wrenching. Every character is so compelling and every scene is filled with purpose. This movie lights a beacon that might never be surpassed by another adaption of J.R.R. Tolkien's work.
: 5
: LEGO made some great sets from this movie, most especially Helms Deep.

Orthanc is also an incredible set, one of my all-time favorites.
Also TT just got a new set for its lineup with Barad-Dur!

I just rewatched this movie this weekend, so we'll start off with it.
How To Train Your Dragon A book-to-movie adaption in the broadest possible sense, How to Train Your Dragon spins an epic tale out of little more than a borrowed title. Every aspect of this movie shone, from the animation, to the soundtrack, to the world-building and character design. The sarcasm of Jay Baruchel as Hiccup was unmatched. One of the best and most original animated movies of all time.
: 5
I have long considered How to Train Your Dragon to be an excellent candidate for a LEGO theme. Brick-built dragons would make fantastic smaller sets and the village of Berk has some great architecture. The biggest challenge would be the minifigures; about half of the characters have an exaggerated build.
Didn't Megablox make sets of it at one point? I think they own the license rights.

I haven't rewatched it since I started rating movies, it has potential to get bumped up.
Yeah, with the new Barad Dur set at least one gaping hole in the line-up is filled in. Movie Reviews

Are you thinking Playmobil possibly? I vaguely remember them making How To Train Your Dragon stuff. Movie Reviews
