For this blog, I'll tell you what I thought of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
The movie starts out where the last one ended. The duplos invade, and Bricksburg, now changed to Apocalypseburg becomes a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Five years later, Emmet and friends must on an adventure to bring back peace to their beloved Bricksburg, and get rid of the 'armamageddon'.
So is this a worthy sequel? Ja, it's good, but not as good as the first one was.
There are some more musical numbers, and one that will literally get stuck in your head. They did that on purpose, and, they succeeded. The fam wanted me to shut up when I sang it for a week straight, but I just couldn't. It was just so darn catchy! 'Everything is Awesome' comes back, along with the new version: 'Everything is not Awesome'.
And they added new characters of course. One of them shocks (and by shock, I mean surprise. He doesn't electrocute Emmet) Emmet. I'm not going to tell you who though. You have to watch and see for yourself. No spoilers!
The live-action sequences with the humans come back, and we get to see Finn's mom and sister (we knew we'll see the younger sibling from the previous film).
So that's my review. You know the drill, if you want to know what happens to Emmet and crew, have a big heart for legos, this film will still entertain. It might not be only yourself, but maybe the little kid inside of yourself as well.
