So I'm probably the last one here to see THE LEGO MOVIE 2, but I finally went and saw it today. And I must say I was a little disappointed. The first one had a nice idea and I loved the execution. I felt it was "grounded", despite all the whimsy. And obviously the theme song was catchy as hell. The Batman Movie was also great. But this new one... the story was all over the place, I didn't like the new song, and I hated the pacing. It was like a never-ending mishmash of random action scenes, without any real heart or emotion?
I did my best to avoid trailers, but this thread (and the new sets) had me spoiled on a lot of things, which also didn't help. (And speaking of new sets, I was surprised that more time wasn't spent in the apocalypse world. Or that the popup party bus wasn't featured more closely. And did we ever even see Benny's squad??)
Watching this movie back to back with Wreck-it Ralph 2 was really weird, because both movies have a lot in common. (Both even refer to Fortnite, FFS.) But I liked Ralph a lot better, eventho I was expecting it to be the other way around...
So what's the consensus here on TLM2? Or should I go re-read earlier generals?
