![]() What made it even worse was that they had a pretty cool new character that could've taken the Queen's place in the story: General Meyhem. It was hard to get through scenes with her. Rex Dangervest is the most interesting out of the bunch and his interactions with Emmet are a highlight, however Queen Whatevra Wanabi was SO annoying. There are a few new characters in this film and, while I said that the performances were good, I didn't love these new characters. Luckily, the movie moves so quickly that it never lingers on any one joke for too long, but I was left thinking about some of the worst ones even after they ended. ![]() The writing didn't feel lazy by any means, but didn't feel as creative or special as the first. It doesn't feel as cohesive as the original did because, unlike the first film, this one has its characters split up for the most part, encountering different obstacles and trying to reach different goals. ![]() This film tries to replicate that with its own emotional message, but fails mainly due to the storyline feeling very messy and unfocused. What made the first film so unique in my opinion was its heartfelt ending and message about creativity and being yourself. Now, time for the cons (and unfortunately, there's plenty). Finally, the film was very fast-paced and moved along quickly, therefore I was never bored or felt as though a scene went on too long. The concept of the film is very interesting and provided some smart scenes that drew parallels to the real-world aspects of the film. ![]() As well, many of the jokes were very funny and, although Phil Lord and Chris Miller did not write this film alone, it is apparent that this is still their specific style of humour. The voice-acting is still top-notch and I enjoyed the performances from the few new characters. The animation is still as excellent and smooth as it was in the last film, and I continue to marvel at how the animation team is able to replicate the stop-motion look. While it is a far cry from bad, it never manages to recapture what made the original so special. Unfortunately, none of these words could be used to describe The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. It was creative, unique, and surprisingly heartfelt. I absolutely fell in love with The LEGO Movie. ![]()
