tesg’s Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
We start off with real world Dad declaring the son is now allowed to play in the basement and...in an onimous tone...his little sister. Back in the Lego world, everyone has toughened up and become all gothy as a defense mechanism against the Duplo (little kid Lego blocks) and the fear of “Armomageddon.” If you can’t see where this is going, consult your neurologist. Seriously...you’re brain-damaged.
The original movie was a surprise for a lot of people, especially that ending. This movie follows that exact path. It’s just as clever and funny up until the ending, which I did not like at all. Maybe it was because I correctly guessed who the real villain was and what direction this was going, but I left really unsatisfied with how they wound this up.
But prior to that, I was laughing, often out loud, a good 75 percent of the time.
