who cares what Fake News thinks , the movie is breaking box office records so obviously no one is really paying attention to them and those that do weren't going to see it anyway

Lego's not a "job creator"? They're worth about 7.3 billion. What do you expect from FoxNews, however...

I took my grandson Saturday. We both loved it! It is a great kids movie. I will definitely buy the DVD when it comes out.

I mean, why does Hitler have to be the bad guy in every single film? OK, he had a rough childhood, and OK, maybe he acted out a little as an adult, but does Hollywood have to portray him as the embodiment of evil every single time?

considering the guys who ran the studios). Back in the day, from the prototype (back even further to Dickens), Scrooge, through Mr. Potter and on, these guys usually were redeemed by the end of the the film, however. Either that, or they came to very bad ends. Kids have watched all these movies for a couple of generations now, what with the classic movie channels.
