It really is super cool
special best friend (Elizabeth Banks, ditto), the citizens of Bricksburg embark on an intergalactic adventure to restore harmony to the Legoverse.
Among the other fun characters in the mix is Batman (Will Arnett); Rex, a macho counterpart to the hero (also dubbed by Chris Pratt); and a live-action cameo featuring Maya Rudolph as the Mom.
A shape-shifting empress (Tiffany Haddish) and her cohort, General (Stephanie Beatriz), command the baddie aliens brigade.
The snappy script by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller adds immensely to the fun. Incoming director Mike Mitchell (Shrek Forever After) conjures up Technicolor tableaux replete with filmic references and barbed pop-culture putdowns.
There are plenty of songand-dance interludes, with the aptly titled ‘Super cool’ being the standout tune. Essentially an inspiring animated musical, The Lego Movie 2 … is recommended for the young at heart.
