Review Rating:

This is fast-paced, full of heart from beginning to end, and the songs, yet again, are extremely catchy.

Following in the footsteps of ‘The Lego Movie’ was never going to be an easy task – quite monumental in fact – but ‘The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part’ does it with plenty of ease, comedy, and enough musical numbers than you’ve ever dreamt possible.

Don’t say you weren’t warned when you and the kids can’t stop singing for hours after the screening.

Five years after our first excursion to Bricksburg, we head back to see that the residents and heroes have fallen victim to invaders from outer space destroying everything in their path. What follows is, just like the first entry in the movie series, an adventure involving friendship, love, and trying to resolve topics much deeper than you would expect from an animated movie about Lego figures

Of course, the movie tackles all of these sensitive issues and musical numbers with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments that both kids and adults will appreciate. And that’s all down to the top-tier voice cast that have all returned on board again, from Chris Pratt’s still unbelievably naïve Emmet, to Elizabeth Banks’ bad-ass Lucy, and of course everyone’s favourite Lego Batman from the voice of Will Arnett. Once you add in Tiffany Haddish as the shapeshifting Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (complete with two infectious musical numbers) as well as Will Ferrell making a returning appearance with on-screen wife Maya Rudolf, and everyone with a comedy inclination has been granted non-stop laughs for around one hour and 45 minutes.

Ike Barinholtz, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.

While ‘The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part’ doesn’t necessarily reach the dizzying heights that the first instalment gave us, it’s still miles better than the slightly disappointing ‘The Lego Ninjago Movie’ which was the last time we saw the Lego figurines on the big screen. This is fast-paced, full of heart from beginning to end, and the songs, yet again, are extremely catchy. Watch out for ‘Catchy Song’ in particular, which will definitely get stuck inside your head. Don’t say you weren’t warned when you and the kids can’t stop singing it for hours after the screening.
