I love a lot the original film (Is one of my favorites of all times), and I was excited they were gonna make a sequel in the moment I saw the ending of the first one. And after 5 years of waiting, It was not disappointing. I went so happy to see that this is the sequel I wanted to see and more.
There's a lot of things that I love of this one: The story, the animation, the unexpected plot twists, the relationship between Emmet and Lucy, the fact that this movie is about both (While the first one was about Emmet), the jokes, the heartwarming moments, the dramatic tension of the film, how Emmet learns to grow up and Lucy how to be more soft, how it conects with Finn (The boy of the first one) and her sister and some other surprises that it left me laughing and droping my jaw down with some shocking moments. I would say, not all the jokes works in this one (There are some dumb jokes that are obviously made for the kids), but this is the sequel I was waiting to see all those five years
Is not necessarily better than the first one, I would say, this one is at par with the original, and is an improvement over the last two movies we got in 2017 (The LEGO Batman is still pretty good, while Lego Ninjago is the weakest of the franchise). I really want to see a third one with taking the idea of the boy grown up and not being interested with playing Legos anymore and how it would affect this to the characters and the world they build up. But for now on, this one is just awesome. Maybe I will watching this one again in theaters.
