Your thoughts on this movie....

It's been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild.

This time the LEGO characters will take on the might of an invading alien force – LEGO DUPLO invaders from outer space who are wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take our gang to far away, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical.

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller return only as producers for this Mike Mitchell-directed follow-up to 2014’s popular and well regarded “The LEGO Movie”. Animators Animal Logic return for this new outing in which Duplo invaders level Bricksburg. Five years on, everyone is now living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and Emmet soon finds himself heading into space to rescue his kidnapped friends from the evil General Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz ) and Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi (Tiffany Hadish). Pretty much everyone from the first is back for the follow-up, joined by Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and Margot Robbie playing their DCEU characters in LEGO form.

The “LEGO Movie 2” Reviews Are Very Good

The first reviews are in for “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” with the film flying quite high on Rotten Tomatoes.

The critical aggregate website currently has the movie sitting on a solid 92% (7.3/10), a little shy of but not that far off the 95% (8.1/10) of its predecessor, and just above the 90% (7.5/10) that “The LEGO Batman Movie” scored in 2017.

Reviews for the film call it entertaining, but not quite as creative or novel as the first one. The film’s director Mike Mitchell recently told io9 that the final product was made a lot better after Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s firing from “Solo: A Star Wars Story” allowed them to come back to and help out on both “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and this project:

“The storytelling got more efficient. [The Lego Movie 2] is really a complicated story to tell…so when they came back into town I felt like I had a couple more people to bounce story stuff off of. Not to mention those guys are hilarious so the film got funnier. Those guys can’t help but add weird gags everywhere… it was a real opportunity for us to be able to really dig in on both of them and be really involved in every aspect of the production.”

“The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” is currently slated for a February 8th release and is tracking for an opening weekend in the $50 million+ range.

While tracking figures had it coming in at $55-60 million, it looks as if actual interest in “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” is considerably lower than expected with new estimates now being revised steeply downward to only a little over half that – around $30 million.

The film pulled in just $8.5 million on Friday, and that’s including $2.1 million in preview grosses. While it’s expected to get a boost on the weekend, the likely $30-35 million opening weekend total puts it way off the $69 million opening of the first and the $53 million opening of “The LEGO Batman Movie”.
