Breaking news: We have just tracked down the only person in the solar system who was not delighted by “The Lego Movie.” His name is Jerry Seinfeld, and in case you haven’t heard of him, the guy has a legendary sitcom under his belt and over 2 million Twitter followers.
Not only did Seinfeld find the film that grabbed the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend lacking in the plot department…
Also loved Lego Movie. A story would have been a nice added touch, though..

…he also found it lacking in originality.
I think Lego Movie stole my Superman has issues with Green Lantern bit from Amex Seinfeld and Superman webisode. Anyone else catch that? — Jerry Seinfeld (@JerrySeinfeld) February 11, 2014
As if this wasn’t entertaining enough, Seinfeld’s complaints sparked an amusing little e-dialogue with British comic Ricky Gervais.
RT @rickygervais: @JerrySeinfeld I know how you feel. Schindler’s List stole a lot of my early stuff. You were so edgy then.
