The Lego Movie 2

(G, 107mins)

-

The Lego Movie was one of the biggest hits of 2014. It used Lego mini-figures and building blocks to tell the story of a power struggle in a kid’s playroom. Chris Pratt did a fine job of voicing Emmet, an insanely optimistic constructi­on worker who becomes an unlikely hero. Elizabeth Banks was his true love Wild Style, Will Arnett the impossibly conceived Batman, and all reprise their roles in this sequel which involves a mysterious attack of Duplo (baby Lego). It’s neither as busy nor original as the first film, but it’s still extremely funny in parts and skates along with giddy and irresistib­le joie de vivre.
