The FilmyChill Score combines audience ratings and critics' reception, and updates twice a day. No studio or platform can pay for a score. How the score works
The Lego Movie is streaming in New Zealand on Netflix, Prime Video.
What the audience says
The Lego Movie holds up as a perfectly decent English film, if not a remarkable one. It holds a 7.4/10 on TMDB from 8,791 ratings, well above what most films manage. It's a tight 100-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. In New Zealand you can stream it on Netflix, Prime Video.
Should you spend 100 minutes on it?
100 minutes of English animation, leaning family, fine for the whole family. That score holds across 8,791 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
- Why
- 7.4/10 over 8,791 ratings — solidly liked rather than loved, and the number isn't going to move.
- Skip if
- animation isn't your thing
- Best for
- A weekend afternoon with the family
