3. ‘The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part’ (2019)
It’s a testament to the quality of these films so far that this super-fun sequel lands in the bottom half of the franchise. Characters get musical numbers and existential crises aplenty as naive Emmet, uber-cool Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) and their pals leave Mad Maxed Bricksburg and head to a glitterbombed planet ruled by the quitepossibly-evil Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (Tiffany Haddish). While the follow-up is missing the freshness of the original, “The Second Part” explores gender dynamics in family-friendly fashion and gives Pratt a chance to mash up his live-action heroes in the form of Lego macho man Rex Dangervest.
