The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is a delightful all-ages adventure with the potential to reach even the most cynical and weary of us. Read full review

The second Lego Movie is even better than the original: a sophisticated new adventure that gives us a new look at how the universality of the Lego universe was more gendered than we thought. Read full review

The Second Part is a film almost wholly redeemed by its climax, a culmination of unexpected plot threads and surprisingly sweet character development that ends up making the whole more valuable in hindsight. Read full review

There’s even a new song called “Catchy Song? that you can’t get out of your head no matter how hard you try. (And you will try.) Another tune, “Super Cool,? plays over the end credits simply to extol the coolness of end credits. Lego 2 never stops, which is part of the problem. Can there really be too much of a good thing? [Pause.] Nah. Read full review

The genius of the first movie was its ability to disguise a searing critique of capitalism inside a hilarious package, an idea that is genuinely funny itself. The sequel, with its recycled jokes and re-mixed songs, is merely a reminder of how original the original actually was. Read full review

It’s not just emotion and creative innovation that feels MIA in this installment. The film acts as though it’s edgy, but lacks real bite. Read full review

See I was under the impression it wasn’t that good. That’s a straight up lie. This is almost on the level of the first movie easily, if not just as good.

That’s a straight up lie. This is almost on the level of the first movie easily, if not just as good. It’s not perfect or anything, but I really enjoyed every moment of it. I really love the new characters for real they’re all great. The creativity here is on the level of the last movie too, like I thought the whole topic of it all being connected to the sister would be stupid, but it works so damn well. Even the outside of the actual LEGO world stuff was really well done. I didn’t like it so much in the last movie, and they’re still my least favorite parts because they just aren’t as good and I don’t think anyone would argue that, but since they established the whole thing in the last movie it was completely necessary for this one. The story is (I think) better than the last one actually. Like seeing what would happen actually kept me super engaged up until a certain point just because it became predictable, which isn’t even such a bad thing, because it was just as good after then, I just knew what would happen. Also I think it made me laugh just as much as the last one if not more. It’s actually really funny at times. Honestly enjoyed this movie so much. The voice acting is fantastic through and through, and I loved all the cameos and actors whose voices I recognized. Oh and obviously the animation is some of my favorite of any style period. One small thing, the credits are some of my favorite ever. It’s cool. The whole thing is really rewatchable too, which is great. It’s not a masterpiece or anything but I kinda love it.… Expand

Classic example of "not as good as the original" I'm afraid. It takes a slower and more introspective tone with too much of a meta story when it should just keep up the craziness and madcap humor of the original. When it stays in that mode of fast-moving fun and humor it succeeds.

Compared to my experience back in 2014, I only wrote one movie review every few months for my parents’ blog. Now, it’s a weekly side hobby as I stretch to someday do it professionally. Much like my own gradual growth, these two parts to the LEGO cinematic universe keenly adapt to the values of the time. While The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part remains inconsistently nonsensical like the first movie, it still does more to develop greater complexity of what it analyzes about our culture. Director Mike Mitchell picks up exactly from the instant of the last feature’s finale for a new, mature direction you’d never guess the franchise could go, yet it goes there, to results that are both different and the same as before.

Not that it means the returning familiar characters, such as the Dark Knight, change in a way that enhances the entire product. There’s still a thoughtless plot twist that randomly throws itself about alongside cameos of Harley Quinn, “Larry? Poppins, Velma from Scooby Doo, and an unnecessary parody to “Let’s all go to the lobby.? Yes, it’s that kind of writing; the kind that weakens the main romance from before because the returning screenwriters, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, dig too shallow into a young boy’s psychology beyond the fist-shaped spaceship, “Rexcelsior.? They also dig too shallow into a young girl’s psychology, as the ruler of the feminized galaxy, the “Sistar System,? doesn’t feel like much of a threat.

These contrasting galaxies try to establish a metaphor saying siblings should play together, except Batman’s floss dance to maracas played by dinosaurs isn’t necessary for that message to get across. Other types of jokes milk the entertainment factor too far, particularly cartoon gags in a dainty little house, the return of that dreaded double decker couch (with an upgrade), and more jokes on the Batman franchise. Few important aspects from this abuse of self-aware humor prove significance beyond what audiences may be sick of by now.

Then Bricksburg becomes Apocalypseburg centered around a desolate lady liberty. But less on that, onto the girly toyland of the Sistar system, and its ruler, Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi. This queen is detailed with fingerprinted bricks that take on fun animations throughout two musical numbers, exclaiming she’s “totally not evil,? much like the adorably destructive vivid invaders with huge puppy dog eyes on cute little weapons shaped like hearts and stars. She could probably cause Ar-mama-gedds-in, a feared event that is actually a clever depiction of simple kid playtime problems, such as the older sibling forbidding the younger sibling from touching his or her toys. It all builds a better portrait of girl toys combined with very Muppet-esque humor to go against the style of the first movie, ultimately becoming a distinct twist on older alien invasion flicks.

Yet there’s plenty enough like the first movie to keep the familiar lovability intact; it keeps up with some fun little Easter eggs, as a LEGO Oscar appears for the satisfaction of those who still feel angered by the first movie’s infamous snub four years ago (myself included). Everybody from the snobby cinema scholars to the casual popcorn-happy moviegoers, will find guaranteed emotional satisfaction from the eventual fate of the Sistar system’s massive glory.

Yet to everyone who’s about to see this, a little fair warning: there’s a new song called, “Catchy Song,? that indeed gets stuck inside your head like the lyrics say they will. That song comes up specifically to be a mind-control device in an ominously happy scene that’s ultimately childish without a hint of sense. Regardless, I for one still find myself tapping away to “Catchy Song? whenever it plays! That’s my experience with LEGO on film: it’s still plenty of fun despite the clear flaws.

There’s a real proven power of LEGO’s motion pictures:

The LEGO Movie criticized the Obama administration exploiting corporate America so it could obtain an impractically perfect vision. Batman’s spinoff redefined our famous crusader as we reconsidered our sense of morality shortly after Trump’s inauguration. Ninjago is pure garbage, so it doesn’t count. Now, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part brings pop culture of boys and girls together to help tomorrow’s generation build a better society together. My, what a cultural shift we’ve made, and through something that looks like a toy commercial! Just compare that to thirty years ago, when anything with the word, “movie? in the title never carried depth besides commercialism. Keep it up, Warner Animation Group! Continue inspiring future artists to do better!… Expand
