 So the first film completely caught me by surprise I wasn't expecting it but it knocked me off my feet. I loved it. It was one of the best films of 2014 in my opinion. So let's see how part two turned out. My name is Brandon Keith Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey what's going on everyone I want to thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for the Lego Movie 2 the second part I really do appreciate it. Now I'll just go ahead and say off the top the title of this film is like the best thing in the world to me. I really do love it. It's one of the best things that I do love about the movie. It's just so on the nose it's so self aware and that's kind of what makes this Lego Movie franchise stand out to me so much is this really just don't care they're really unapologetic about everything. Now in my intro I said that I you know I have the Lego Movie right here on blue red got it like right when it was released like I remember like the first day because I love the movie so much it blew me away you can go check out my review for that it's on my channel from like four years ago but for some reason when the marketing material for this just are pushing out all the promotions and stuff I just wasn't excited about the Lego Movie Part 2 I don't understand it doesn't make sense why you will love the first film so much but just the second one wasn't doing that much for me. Now I'm not sure if this is because I knew you know going in and leading up to the film that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller aren't directing the film anymore they are still a part of the project they are writing it but we have somebody new by the name of Mike Mitchell and when I looked at his filmography he has been behind a few films that I know Sky High which came out in 2005 I really did enjoy that film it was you know it was cute for what it was back in the day. Deuce Bigelow, Mel Jigolo and Shrek for ever after so I was kind of so so I like Sky High but you know I really did not know what to expect going into this but one thing I do like about the Lego Movie 2 the second part is it picks up literally where the first one leaves off so and I don't even think that you have to see the first film to necessarily understand what's going on it's very easy to follow of course we have Elizabeth Banks as the what is the name DJ Wild Style or something like that yeah that is a wild style because we have Chris Pratt back as well and they both are great characters in this Lego Movie franchise what I love about Chris Pratt what he did in the first one and in the second one here is that he's just so naive and innocent I don't know that just does something for me I'm able to attach myself to characters like that you know he just wants love and everything to be awesome and why it can be annoying and just kind of you like hey dude snap out to wake up you know it's just something charming about his character that I really did love as far as all the jokes are concerned in this film it is funny you're gonna laugh you're not gonna laugh as much as you did in the first film or I at least different or I at least did not what makes the Lego Movie great like I said just before is that it is self-aware this film is Legos children play with Legos I don't know of any adults that well many adults may but not that mean I think more children play with Legos then I think more children play with Legos than adults do but at the same time the Lego Movie had a ton of adult themed jokes in the first one and they do in this second part as well they're not as prominent as they are in the first film and that's why this film is a little lacking as far as that's concerned compared to the first but they are still there so if you're watching this and you have children you're kind of worried like oh my gosh is this for me should I drop my kids off and go to the mall or do some shopping pay bills or can I sit with them through this will I will it make sense to me while I understand put all those worries aside this has a lot for you if you're an adult and children too so I think both parties you know we'll have a good time now I talked about Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pratt one of the newer cast members that we have in this film is Tiffany Haddish I didn't even know that she was part of the movie until I was seeing the movie and when I first heard her voice I was really really annoyed because I'm just kind of so and so with Tiffany Haddish I did not like Girls Trip but I liked her in night school but her last film Nobody's Fool I thought it was just absolutely atrocious so when I heard her voice in this film I did get a little disappointed her character is being the character name is Queen whatever wanna be I thought that was very clever and I actually like Tiffany Haddish's role in this film it was actually one of the best parts of the film it was funny she can actually sing a little bit I don't know how much help she got in the effects room in post production but you know she was entertaining it wasn't annoying or anything like that and just about the singing itself that is one of the things that I liked about this film the most it will one being self aware in the adult theme jokes but also the sing-alongs now and them just busting out until musical now initially the first five seconds that every time they were about to bust into a song or sing along in this film the first five seconds I was like a little annoyed like oh my gosh okay can we please fast forward through this but when that six second came it's like something just snapped in my mind and I was just on tune with it you know what I'm saying it was catchy you know it was kind of hard not to recite the songs and sing along with the characters and you just kind of sing you know find yourself kind of just singing and dancing swimming back and forth acknowledging to yourself man this is just so silly and it doesn't make sense but it is a lot of fun and I think that's the main part that you know we all go to the movies we just want to have fun now something that the first film was able to do that the lego movie part two the second part was not a lego movie too the second part was not able to do is the illusion of legos now I don't know if it's just because of my you know I did a little more research this time but in the first lego movie of course they it wasn't stop motion they didn't just use lego blocks and you know you know take a photograph move it a little bit take another photograph no they use you know computers generated you know imagery images to make this work but it looked like it was real legos in the first one throughout the whole thing or at least to me in the second one it you just didn't have that fluidity there it didn't look bad but you know you can tell that you know it this wasn't like a photo realistic shot or whatever when you think about okay how realistic is that you know but it's just something that I notice now as far as the story is concerned and the flow everything started out great everything ended great in the middle of it were in it our hero goes to meet someone else another character that's kind of far far away it kind of you know like this sums down just a little bit just you know it's just not as good you're wanting the film to get back to all the good all the gusto you know but it's just kind of it's kind of like a just a downer moment for a good 20 to 25 maybe even 30 minutes and this film clocks in at about two hours if I'm as yet well little under one hour and 46 minutes so I don't want to say 30 minutes I'll say maybe about 20 minutes or so that you know things just was not popping you know out at me you know like I wanted it to but as far as everything else is concerned I really did enjoy everything that this film you know had to deliver the jokes are there they're a little bit scattered like I said you're not going to laugh out loud as much as you did on the first film but you still will laugh and I think that's the whole point of going to the movies. At the end of the first film we know that Will Ferrell is a part of the film and I like the way that they tied this Lego computerized world in with the real world they did that here in part two and I think they did that better than they did in the first film so that is one thing that you know you could take away is that you know they infuse that with the real world much better than the first film and also just the icing on the cake the cherry on top is just kind of like the moral of the story sometime in life you really have to look in the mirror you really have to self-evaluate and have that self-reflection and make sure that you are being the most constructive person you can be and some of the most non-constructive person and that was kind of the moral of the story like okay while you think you're doing good you may actually be doing bad you may actually be doing you know damage to a situation that you're supposed to be improving and that's just something that just really really stood out to me is you know when people think that they're the good guy but they are really the bad guy and you know I'll just go ahead and say the very very end of this you know it was it was really touching initially I was going to give this film an eight but if I were to rate the lego movie two the second part out of a one out of ten I would give it an eight point five out of ten yes an eight point five out of ten but guys that is just my opinion have you seen the lego movie two the second part or do you want to see it how about turns you on how about turns you off do you agree with me or do you disagree with me let me know down in the comment section below let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing if you like this video go ahead and give me that thumbs up and if you don't that's fine but you can still subscribe to my channel you can also look me up on social media facebook and instagram and twitter all that good stuff is right there at the bottom of your screen and I made it very easy by providing links to all that good stuff down in the description box below but guys I just want to thank you again for tuning in to my opinion slash review for the lego movie two the second part and before you go don't forget that my name is Brennan Keith Avery and that's just my opinion peace
