The new animated Lego movie is pretty much like the last one. But it seems worth repeating again and ad infinitum, especially given that The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part isn’t as distractingly fun, shiny and bright as the more satisfying franchise instalments. Put differently, what distinguishes this from the better Lego movies is that they’re good commercials. The Lego Movie 2 mostly takes place in Bricksburg, the happy town where once upon a time in the buoyant 2014 movie, Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt), an upbeat dude in an orange vest, triumphed to become a heroic master builder. Will Arnett’s demented take on Batman remains the standout, and it’s disappointing that he isn’t given more to do.
