After a quite fantastic solo spin-off (and a rather disappointing secondary spin-off), the LEGO movie franchise is back to its main
series. Knowing how much fire the first film caught on release, and is still
catching on and off five years later, expectations are quite high that this is
going to not only match up to what audiences loved about the original, but also
a reassurance that the fumble that was Ninjago was just a one-off incident. I
once again find myself in a position where I’m not entirely sure what to expect
from this film, much like how I went into the first movie. Also once again,
having seen the movie, this feels like exactly what this film should be, both
on its own and as a continuation to what has become one of the greatest films
of the 2010’s.
