Witty and intriguing, “The Lego Movie 2:The Second Part” intrigues viewers with its amazing animation and colorful scenes.

“The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” engages its viewers with humorous jokes and extraordinary animation. Although the plot is a little dull, the film still has special qualities that make it clever and amusing.

Mike Mitchell directed the film and Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Jinko Gotoh produced the film. It features Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie, Nick Offerman and Will Ferrell.

The film is set five years later from the first Lego Movie and the citizens are facing a significant new threat. Emma, Lucy, Batman and the rest of their friends battle to defeat their enemy to restore the peace in the Lego universe. They travel to unexplored areas that challenge their creativity and courage.

The plot of the film is relatively predictable and similar to the first Lego Movie plot: an enemy threatening the Lego universe. The setting is also illustrated in the same real-world Lego set, which makes the film resemble the first Lego Movie very closely.

The animation of the film is impeccable. There are many intricate and vivid scenes that make the film very enjoyable. Each scene is exceptionally wonderful and entertaining which engages the viewer and keeps them on the edge of their seat.

The jokes in the film are hilarious with many pop culture references. The script was very well written and the film features some bizarre characters including skateboarding dinosaurs, a DJing vampire, a ring-bearing banana, an emotionally unstable ice cream cone, three different Wonder Women, and the most unexpected cameo from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg which are extremely unique to the film.

Like the first Lego Movie with its unforgettable “Everything is Awesome” song, this film has its own memorable song called the “Catchy Song.” This song will be stuck in the viewer’s head for days, which can be annoying and displeasing at times.

The sound effects are very real and fit perfectly with each scene. These sounds complement the animation, making the film more appealing to the viewers. The songs in the film are also very upbeat and vivacious, causing the movie to be outstanding.

“The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part” is very peculiar and remarkable. The plot is easily foreshadowed, but the animation and sound effects make the film spectacular. Each aspect of the movie is very special and distinct.

Released on February 8, “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Partcan be found in theaters nationwide.
