The sequel to 2014's The Lego Movie, here we find everything is not awesome. Five years have passed since the first movie, and the lego world has been destroyed. Emmett and the whole crew are now surviving in 'apocalypseburg' any way they can. And one day, a strange new visitor from another galaxy shows up, promising their greatest dreams if they would join her in her world. Is it a trap, or the answer to their prayers?
The sequel has many of the first movie's features- zany humor, some of it geared towards adults, with a lot of silly things and a serious underlying message. The overall point is to play with others who may have different tastes than you (here, it's brother and sister learning to play together, while the first film looked at dad including the kids and being willing to create new things). And that's great. I will say, though, this second film seemed less captivating, slow in places, and . . . overly bizarre, even for an intentionally zany movie. My son said he liked it for that reason; it was a bit too much for me.
Rating: B
