Long overdue, but finally me and Noshi sat down and watched the second Lego movie.
Now, I loved the first one, and it ended with a cliffhanger as aliens from planet Duplo invaded Bricksville.
In this second part, we jump forward 5 years, and our heroes are under a constant assault. Living in a sort of Mad Max-ian wasteland, protected by Batman after the disappearance of the Justice League. One day, an alien called General Mayhem kidnaps Emmet's friends and he gives chase to free them.
This leads him to an encounter with Rex, a minifig who personifies everything Wyldstyle wants Emmet to be. Together they try and overcome the evil queen and free their gang. But as Lucy works from the inside with them, as one by one they seem to become enthralled with her, it turns out there is more to it then expected.
The queen and Batman are about to get married when Emmet interferes, thinking Lucy who has figured out the truth is also brainwashed. But she was right, as they all want to just play together... or face oblivion in a cleaning box.
Where the first movie was about an estranged father having lost his imagination, this movie handles about his son and daughter, who have to learn to play together with their LEGO.
While an amusing (and absurd) movie, it didn`t give me as much laughs as the first one did though. Never the less, it is still a good afternoon watch and personally a nice bit of nostalgia...
