Generally speaking, it is a sequel that is extremely in line with the times. Whether it is lines or jokes, it reflects the current hot topics very well. If the first episode tends to be funny and fun, this time it will be more educational, and because more female characters, feminist topics, and more cute new characters have been added, it should be more popular with female audiences.
The last episode was about father and son playing Lego differently, encouraging innovation and breaking conventions. This sequel can be said to be a continuation of this theme, except that the little boy has a younger sister, and the way the two brothers and sisters play Lego are naturally different, and the contradictions arise again, which also brings a great impact to the Lego world. The appearance of "alien" makes Lego people deeply disturbed, only pure Emmett still maintains an optimistic attitude and encourages himself and the people around him with "Everything is awesome" every day.
This story explores how to learn to grow up, learn to share and give, but growing up does not mean abandoning kindness and love. Whether it is the little boy who is playing Lego in reality, or the hero Emmett in the Lego world, they have all faced the impact of new things from the outside world, and they have also suffered from neglect and loneliness. Finally, they understand that love is mutual, you know Give to get.
It is very obvious that this is a work born in the era of the rise of women's rights. Even Lucy, the heroine of Lego, was asked: "Since you have contributed the most, why is Emmett regarded as a hero?" Encourage women to receive equal attention and respect . Among the new roles, there are also two female characters who play a very important role in the film, and RBG, the representative of women's rights, appears in the film.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this film is: it's really funny! The people around me are laughing from beginning to end. For adult audiences, there are really too many laughs, almost every line has it, so it really needs a second brush. Among them, there are still many self-deprecations of their own DC superhero movies and characters, and of course they are also advertised by the way. For example, he ridiculed the failure of the DC movie assembly type, and the character will develop solo in the future. The most impressive character is still Batman. He continued the arrogance and narcissism in his independent LEGO movie, often compared with Superman, and was not gregarious, always out of the real league. He also proudly said: "I have the most movies in DC heroes, and there are still two still in development..."
If you liked the first one, this one obviously won't disappoint. It's just that the time and space travel scenes buried in the film can easily make some audiences feel cliché and confusion.
