The Lego Movie 2 (2019)

The Lego Movie 2: Directed by Mike Mitchell. With Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Tiffany Haddish. It’s been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: Lego Duplo invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild.

“Personally, I didnu0026#39;t go see this movie with very high expectations. Because, whilst the first Lego Movie could work with the fact that the audience wasnu0026#39;t aware of the origins of the movieu0026#39;s story (this origin being a childu0026#39;s imagination), this movie had to work with an audience aware of this origin. The movie accepts this and integrates sceneu0026#39;s with real actors in the movie. This, luckily, isnu0026#39;t done to an extend where it would be annoying and distracting from the story being portrayed with Lego bricks. It does, however, try to replace the reveal of the first movie, with another reveal. Sadly, this reveal isnu0026#39;t even close to being on the same level as the reveal of the first movie. It turns out to be a bit cliché, which I felt a bit disappointed about.nOnce again, the filmmakers have some great references to other franchises. These references make for some great laughs. The jokes in this movie are simple and not too hard to understand, but arenu0026#39;t childish. This makes the movie a fun ride for child, teenager and adult.nAs a standalone movie, I feel it lacks world- and character-building. The movie throws characters at you, without (re-)explaining their origins to you. I feel like you are expected to have seen the first movie, because of this.nThis movie overall does a really good job for people looking for a fun ride. It is far from a bad movie, but there were some possibilityu0026#39;s for it to be a better one.”
