The Lego Movie 2 Watched this last night with the family. It was OK, a few good one liners but nothing spectacular. I understand the point it was trying to achieve, and it wasn't a bad one, it just seemed to fail to execute and stand out the way the first film did. It's odd because as soon as the first film came out, everyone I know was excited for the sequel. But when it finally came out last month, the numbers were OK, not great. I think this was one of those unique cases where 5 years in between actually hurt it, instead of helped. Had this been released at the 3 year mark (say in 2017 instead of 2019), then it may have fared better, but then that's when the Lego Batman movie came out, and that of course was successful. While I commend all involved in taking an idea very few people had faith in (a movie about toy bricks) and making a pretty imaginative story, I think in short order, it has run its course. They were smart not to end Movie 2 on a cliffhanger, so there are no immediate expectations. If they do come up with a good enough idea in the future, they can move forward, but if not. It can be left 2 and done. Should have had more raptors, they were the best part
. Also the "Marvel's not calling us back" line was pretty good. In this day and age however, even though the movie was somewhat bland- having a kid-friendly movie without any objectionable content I guess is an achievement in and of itself. 6/10
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
