Coming to
theatres this Friday from director Mike Mitchell and Warner Bros. is the next
adventure for Emmet and the gang with LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.
Five
years has passed since Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt) and Lucy Wyldstyle
(Elizabeth Banks) helped to save Bricksburgh from President Business and the
dreaded Kraggle. Trying to keep life going along, the unexpected Lego Duplo
invaders have been causing problems to the point that rebuilding is almost
impossible creating the new town of Apocalypseburg.
The
cause? Finn (Jadon Sand) and sister Bianca (Brooklynn Prince) have different
storylines going on in their basement at home. Also Emmet has a dream of the
dangerous Our-Mom-Ageddon that will end everything.
Then the
landing of General Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) who immediately takes Wyldstyle, Uni-kitty
(Alison Brie), MetalBeard (Nick Offerman), Benny (Charlie Day) and Batman (Will
Arnett) to meet Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi (Tiffany Haddish) in the Systar System.
Upset by the blast off of their friends, Emmet knows he has no choice but to
follow.
Flying
through space Emmet meets Rex Dangervest who agrees to help him get to the
Systar System in order to find his friends. Rex tells Emmet that there is a
wedding that must be stopped. Who is getting married? You'll never believe who
is putting a ring on the Queen's finger and what will happen if the cake is
destroyed.
Emmet
realizes that he hasn't been told the truth about the situation especially
since in the real world Finn and sister Bianca are fighting amongst themselves
and Mom (Maya Rudolph) has decided what is really going to happen. Now the two
worlds must come together before Mom puts a lid on it all!
Pratt as
both Emmet and Rex are fun to watch play against one another. He has definitely
left his mark in this animated series that seems to make everyone so very
happy. Emmet is sweet and none of us would have it any other way as being a
hero doesn't always require a cape!
Banks as
Wyldstyle is still gutsy and doesn't let anything stop her from making things
right - even if she has a secret! She wants to rescue her friends and realizes
that maybe she has always put to much pressure on Emmet to be anything more
than he is.
Arnett as
Batman continues to make me laugh and in LEGO 2: The Second Part he gets a
chance to expand his romantic chops. Oh lets face it, as Lego Batman Arnett has
totally embraced his character (as he absolutely should) and I won't lie that
I'd love if he did another Lego film.
Haddish
as the Queen is a sassy songstress leader who has a plan but Wyldstyle isn't
buying any of her charms. She suspects that there is something else up the
Queen's ever changing sleeves. Being royal doesn't mean everything is royally
awesome!
Brie as
Uni-kitty just wants to be sparkly happy and she kind of likes being in the
Systar System, Offerman as MetalBeard does too, especially when the Queen gives
him something he's been missing for quite a while, Day as Benny is digging the
new world and can't understand why Wyldstyle won't be a part of it.
Other
cast includes Will Ferrell as Dad, Richard Ayoade as Ice Cream Cone, Channing
Tatum as Superman, Jonah Hill as Green Lantern, Gal Godot as Wonder Woman,
Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Ike Bvarinholtz as Lex
Luthor, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, Will Forte as Abraham Lincoln, Ben
Schwartz as Banarnar, Jimmy O. Yang as Zebe and Bruce Willis as…well…Bruce
Willis.
LEGO MOVIE
2: The Second Part is a lot of fun, especially for those who are big fans of
Legos, the Lego movie franchise or just looking for some awesome laughs and
adventure this weekend in the theatre.
There are
plenty of laughs, a story that takes us into another solar system, new
characters and toe tapping brain staying songs. Haddish is going to be
responsible for getting one particular ditty stuck in our heads for a while.
So gather
up your own Lego family and head to the theatre starting Friday for an out of
this world clickingly good time adventure with Emmet and the entire gang.
In the
end - the awesome universe is expanding!
