Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick (2008 TV Short) User Reviews

A hilarious, clever and well done short film.

Raiders of the Lost Brick is one of the best made animated short films I've ever watched. The Lego animation is awesome, and with all the funny references to other movies like star wars and just other hilarious jokes, this is a video I've watched over and over again and never get bored! It incorporates characters and scenes from all the Indiana Jones movies and every part of this video is really clever and just plain awesome. I also really enjoyed the music is the short film, it has the classic Indy theme as well as lots of other awesome music and sound effects! You can watch this movie at Lego.com, just go under the Indiana Jones section and it will be there! Enjoy!

Good watch maybe if you love Indiana Jones and Lego

I am neither and this is probably why these 5 minutes weren't such a great watch for me. However, you have to say a couple things in director Peder Pedersen's favor. First of all, there are so many animated short films Lego style these days since the success of the feature film, but this one here was made 7 years ago, which was way before the hype. Another positive aspect is that Lego is actually a Danish company, so you cannot blame a Danish filmmaker on giving us his take on the matter. And finally, this may be a good watch for people from all areas of the world as there is no spoken language in here. You will need no subtitles and Pedersen also got the problem out of the way of having to summon a voice cast that probably still may have thick Danish accents talking English. Or if the whole thing had been in Danish language, distribution outside Denmark may have been a real problem. So all in all, some smart movies here. Nonetheless, I cannot say I enjoyed the watch. It was basically several very short films in one, which also did not help the matter. only watch it if you love Lego and Indy. Otherwise, not recommended.

I don't know what to say

I'm astounded, I'm appalled, I'm dumbfounded. This is one of the worst things I've ever watched. The humor is so dry and drab and dank with so little content with actual substance that it becomes nearly impossible to watch. I don't understand how anyone can watch this and like it, the characters are so unexpectedly inaccurate to the source material that it had me on the brink of insanity. This is worse than Antz on the gameboy color, more disappointing than garten of banban, and it makes me want to slam my head into a brick wall more then the smurfs (2011).

DO NOT WATCH THIS, IT'S SO BAD!!!!!

forced and mostly unfunny

While I really like later LEGO video-productions, Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick humour seems quite forced and simply unfunny to me. Mostly the same scenes that have been spoofed hundreds of times elsewhere - and in a better way. "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF comes to mind first.. come to think of it - even Muppet Babies did it better.

But what really killed this short for me was an inclusion of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - just like it was worth of (or needed) any parodying at all.

10 Lines /sigh/ ..what else can be said about this? Someone tried - and mostly failed. The good outcome is that at some point LEGO spoofs became funnier and while I'm still not entirely convinced to the whole LEGO Games / LEGO TV Shows sell-push-driven 'craze' - we still (possibly thanks to those beginnings) have e.g. LEGO Movie - which is genuinely original and *much* funnier.
