Review of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) by Trineo99 — 10 Feb 2019

First of all, my main problem with the film is the plot. The first movie has a clear plot and knew where it wanted to go. This film has really no idea where they wanted to go with anything in this film.

This causes lots of issues in the movie because they didn’t have a straight forward plot that everybody could easily follow. I’m going to try and not spoil it but in the first movie, there was a great plot twist that caught everybody off guard but this film they tried to do that and caused more issues in the plot.

It made no sense and could have easily been taken out of the film and it would be a bit better. In the first film, we got the great song “Everything is Awesome” so this film had to try and outdo that song and I will give them credit for trying.

One of the songs is called “Catchy Song” and it’s not catchy one bit. At some points, the film just comes to a halt so they can fit in a pointless song that it doesn’t need. All we needed was one good song in the film and instead, we got ten annoying songs.

The first movie didn’t overuse humour but this one tried to stuff it in at every point they could and it doesn’t work. They used humour that broke the fourth wall and only older audience members would get which isn’t good since this is a film that’s gear towards kids.

The message in this film is a good one but it’s forced down your throat so much that you don’t really care about it. They also pretty much say it and spell it out throughout the entire movie. The pacing in this film is way to fast to help understand anything that’s happening in the film.

Really the only good thing about this film is the animation. In the end, I think this film could have been good if they kept the original directors on board. This film isn’t good for teens or adults and maybe kids will enjoy it but I would suggest seeing something else instead of this film.
