The documentary is so relentlessly upbeat and told with such cheerleading verve, the style and tone detract from the undeniably interesting material.

I'm sure the [LEGO] board of directors loved this.

Documentary? Please. This glorified infomercial from directors Kief Davidson and Daniel Junge is indoctrination.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 31, 2015

The film exhibits an oddly promotional tone that might rub audiences wrong if it were hyping any another product.

| Jul 31, 2015

Most of this is interesting enough, although a little too self-congratulatory at times, but "A LEGO Brickumentary" never really goes much deeper than that ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 31, 2015

True, "A LEGO Brickumentary" is a barely disguised hour-and-a-half commercial. But as hour-and-a-half commercials go, it's somewhat interesting.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 31, 2015

A colorfully constructed film surveying the vastness of the Lego universe that can't help but come across as corporate horn-tooting.

| Jul 30, 2015

"A Lego Brickumentary" might be a resounding cheer for a brand, but it's an eye-opener, too.

| Jul 30, 2015

There's a huge world beyond store shelves as Brickumentary explores master builders, artists and creative minds that ensure you'll never look at these little pieces of plastic the same way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2015

"A LEGO Brickumentary" is great fun, for AFOLs (Adult Fan of LEGO) or otherwise.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Although it often feels like a company-bankrolled promo film, A Lego Brickumentary answers all the questions both Lego novices and Lego nerds would want to know.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2015

There's a bright curiosity to the movie that's anything but dry, and the creativity on display is as entertaining and inherently colorful as you'd hope.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2015

A good movie probably could make us marvel at such trivia, but this seems like a LEGO movie designed for kids and AFOLs, or Adult Fans of LEGO, as they call themselves.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2015

A commercial for Legos.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Overall the movie is a fun peek at the birth of Lego bricks and their ever-evolving place in the world.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Even the interesting parts of "A Lego Brickumentary" aren't that interesting, but are rather more like the best thing you might hear while being cornered by the most boring person at a party.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 30, 2015

Brickumentary has plenty to temporarily divert Lego fans, but little to distinguish itself from the kind of primer profiles that used to run on 온라인카지노추천 newsmagazines.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 30, 2015

This breezy info-dump documentary too often feels like just a feature-length LEGO commercial.

| Jul 30, 2015

Narrator Jason Bateman, voicing an animated yellow mini-figure, visits various camps who worship at the altar of the interlocking plastic brick.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 29, 2015

As a movie, it can be as annoying as stepping on a stray LEGO brick with your socks off.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 29, 2015
