My Lego movie 2 the second part review

My Lego movie 2 the second part review

Intro: OK it's bad enough that Batman got a lot of screen time in the last movie, but did you have to throw shade at the comic book Aquaman over the Roman Reigns Aquaman?

The Lego Movie 2 the second part: This movie takes place five years after the first movie and the citizens of Bricksburg are at war with Duplo Legos. The war reaches its turning point when Lucy, Batman and the others are abducted and gone into outer space. So, Emmet has to put his creativity to the test in order to end this war. 

This movie wasn't as well received as the first film. I can understand why because of how the last movie ended. At the same time that's a shame because this movie feels like a Lego movie more than the first film. I like how this movie references other films because it was done in a way that expresses the imagination of what's behind the Lego. The movie has more songs that are catchy and the humor is fine give or take. I like the batman song because that was funnier than the batman Lego movie. 

The theme of this movie is maturity and being true to yourself. This movie deals with what is considered childish? That leads to the second theme because of that kids have to hide something about themselves or risk being alienated by everyone. You have to be honest with yourself regretless of what people think. We all know what it's like to hide something about ourselves that most people frown upon. (You have no idea how often I was called retarded for watching WWE and Power Rangers, but I digress.) This is my issue with men in general, they look disingenuous whenever they confront or challenge each other. Unless you enjoy going to Rikers Island you're not though in my eyes, but I digress. 

Emmet may be Mr. Sunshine in this movie but he has to learn if there is a time and a place for it?  

Lucy is the same tough girl as before. That's what bugs me about her this movie I thought we were going to get her backstory in this movie, but it's treated as a joke. 

Rex Dangervest is a satire of the voice actor who's voicing him. 

General Sweet Mayhem is like Lucy to the point where they parallel each other.

There isn't much to say about Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (leader of the Duplo) because of how ambiguous she is.  

One of the problems I have with this movie is Batman plays a big part in the story by default. The story was the best way to compliant the themes of this movie. Most of the characters add nothing to the story. I'm annoyed that Bionicle is not in this movie because that would help with the movie's themes considering they were made for teens. There are plot holes with what the Legos can or can't do. 

Overall, this movie may not be as good as the first, but it was a good addition to this franchise.
