The original Lego
Movie was great a fun nostalgia trip for adults and a decent mix of humour of
set-pieces to advertise lego products to our younger audience. A sequel to this
was inevitable, and Phil Lord and Chris Miller, two still popular writers, were

here?
The film had critical success, but not the same level as the first one, though still an impressive 84% compared to 96% for the first one. The drop off with audiences is a bit steeper with a 68% rating down from 87% but why is that? I have some theories but let’s start by diving into the story.
