The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
'The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part' is a delightful all-ages adventure with the potential to reach even the most cynical and weary of us.
The Guardian
The second 'LEGO Movie' is even better than the original: a sophisticated new adventure that gives us a new look at how the universality of the LEGO universe was more gendered than we thought.
Empire
Fuelled by adrenaline, sugar and plastic, The Lego Movie?s Second Part does not entirely reinvent the brick from the First Part. But when the formula is this clever and fun, should we even care?
Entertainment Weekly
There?s something missing: that white-hot spark of insane creativity and out-of-the-box novelty that made the first Lego Movie such an unexpected, revolutionary surprise. Everything is still awesome. Just a little bit less so.
The A.V. Club
The movie opts for a story that?s cute but far less complicated. As it swerves to avoid the full-on bittersweetness of a 'Toy Story' sequel, 'LEGO Movie 2' starts to feel more prescriptive about a worldview that could be described as ?poptimist?.
Screen Crush
The 'LEGO Movie 2' is very cute and very sweet. There was that part of me, though, that kept thinking about the first LEGO Movie.
Indiewire
The sequel, with its recycled jokes and re-mixed songs, is merely a reminder of how original the original actually was.
The Playlist
'The LEGO Movie 2' is fun and full of energy, but unlike the original, it?s not entirely memorable.
The Telegraph
?Everything is adequate? might not have the same ring to it, but it would make a fitting jingle for 'The Lego Movie 2', a sequel that appears to have lost its predecessor?s awesomeness.
Variety
The message part of 'The Second Part' comes off somewhat affected, most likely because the team is more focused on trying to be funny. The product in what amounts to a really entertaining feature-length commercial.
The Hollywood Reporter
This sequel to the acclaimed 2014 blockbuster has lost much of the original's irresistible snap.
