Yeah honestly that's the big spoiler and it definitely is a lot more disturbing when you don't know that, I didn't know anything about it when I watched it and it was way more disturbing for sure. Pretty weird they'd just put that in the dvd box, would be better if they didn't mention it anywhere

An easy way to tell if an older movie recently moved to DVD or Blu-Ray is bad or not is if the synopsis on the back describes
what the plot is rather than
how the plot is. The difference being '...a pulse pounding, high-speed finale' being a proper synopsis and '...leading up to a battle on top of the train against his arch nemesis!' being a sign of a lackluster film. It's not
always the case but more often than not it's a tell-all.
It's a weird little augur of quality I picked up working for a video store.
Anyway, kinda sucks that the box gave that away. Under The Skin looked amaaaazing but I might wait awhile and hopefully forget the spoilers before I watch it.

The Lego Movie was good. It's a bit of a shame the last act was very predictable but then again it's really difficult to break from that traditional formula, especially for a family friendly film.

I can't help but completely disagree. One of The Lego Movies strongest points was that the ending had an actual resolution rather than a Disney ending; Emmett very easily could have
punched lord business until he gave up because he's 'the bad guy' but instead they gave it an ending that had a lot of substance and built (
heh) on the themes the rest of the film had been beaming into your brain.
Unless you don't agree with it having such a happy ending in general, a sad or ambiguous ending which wouldn't have suited it
at all would have been a mistake. For a movie that investors doubtlessly hoped would sell a ton of toys I'm glad they didn't do a Transformers ending where the main character (Optimus Prime
arguably being so in those godawful films) just punches his enemies to death and then monologues on how important it is that he works with his allies.
I hate movie optimus prime so much. He's an unforgivable violent murderer.
