Official Synopsis:

Quote

The much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all, “The LEGO® Movie 2: The Second Part,” reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new action-packed adventure to save their beloved city. 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. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are.

 

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part – Official Teaser Trailer

 

First Film Poster:


Starting this thread because  /Film has an article that details the footage shown at Comic-Con this past weekend, which revealed a new supporting character, also voiced by Chris Pratt:  "Rex Dangervest," who EW describes as "a galaxy-defending archaeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer."

 

And, we have some official images of the first three tie-in sets for the film.

Anyone see it?  I saw it last Saturday and I loved it.  The addition of the delightful Tiffany Haddish as Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi was fantastic.  I'd give her the equivalent of an Oscar for voice acting if there is such a thing.  Her character is as awesome as she is and she had the best songs especially "Not Evil".  There's also a song called "Catchy Song" where the lyrics mostly consist of "this song's gonna get stuck inside your, this song's gonna get stuck inside your, this song's gonna get stuck inside your heeeeeaaaadddd!"

I don't think it was as fresh or innovative as the first one, being a sequel and all, but I found it eminently enjoyable.

Surprising how there's no one talking about this, when the first one was such a hit. I liked this one too, not as great as the first one, but still pretty good. I'm one of the few who really disliked Lego Batman and I never saw Ninjago, but the main films are definitely worth watching multiple times.

I probably laughed hardest for the Hot tub time machine -reference. Not because it was particularly funny, it just came out of nowhere.

Saw it tonight and it was funny and cute. Loved all the meta references and cameos, especially Bruce Willis! That was a great running gag.

Once again Lego Batman was the best part. I wonder how they're going to retcon all the stuff that happened in this movie when they make Lego Batman 2:

"Didn't you marry a giant space queen heart?"

"Never happened."

"But there was a big wedding with you wearing white..."

"NEVER HAPPENED."

I desperately want "Not Evil" to be nominated for Best Original Song at next year's Oscars.  I think the production could be amazing... I can picture Tiffany Haddish in a shiny slinky magenta, orange and pink dress slithering around the stage while Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and the others stand huddled in a group watching her.  "She's clearly an evil queen!"

LOL that would be fabulous. I loved the "Gotham Guys" duet too.

"Everything's Not Awesome" had to be the best song because is such mood for this year.

"Gotham City Guys" was great too!  Watevra has the best lines in the movie and the songs.

"I ain't Selina Kyle.  I ain't no Vicki Vale.  I was never into you even when you were Christian Baaale." ("I'm more of a Keaton guy myself.") "Oooh I LOVED him as Beetlejuice!"

I also really liked the way she manipulates Batman into pleading his case with her (a case that he wasn't even interested in before she started singing the song) and then dismisses him with interjections like "Unsubscribe" and "No thank you, hard pass!"  Too funny.

I saw this with low expectations because I didn't really like the first movie. But I loved it. The music was great, and the parallel plotline of a brother/sister learning how to grow up and play together worked for me much more than the father/son plotline of the first one. I am easy, and Ourmamageddon cracked me up every time it was referenced.

Also, I thought the movie handled Lucy/Emmitt so much better! 

The musical numbers were hysterical, and Catchy Song did not lie. It is stuck in my head. 

I am Unikitty, and Queen Watevera W'Nabi totally had my loyalty with the glitter planet.

I think Catchy Song should get nominated for an Oscar....could you imagine that being preformed live with all those celebrities in the audience and if it won so many brains would explode it would be amazing. All of the songs were great though, even the song played during the credits was fantastic, when they read out the actors names they said something about how they had to work a whole 4 hours a day. 

This was sooo good. I have 3 kids and I know they didn't catch about half of the amazing jokes that were thrown out there. 

Best line of the movie though was the one about Marvel not calling them back. 

Edit to add that Maya Rudolph totally stole the movie at the end with the lego parts.....its no lie, stepping on a lego is straight up there with childbirth.

Not quite as fresh as the last movie (mainly because we already kind of know what the deal is) but a ton of fun non the less. I love that the queen really wasnt evil, despite being a terrible communicator, even though I started to expect halfway through the movie that she might really not be evil, as Miller and Lord showed in the first movie they have a real love of playing with tropes and genre conventions. So when people see a world where everyone is happy and bright and sunny, we all just assume there must be some dark underbelly or brainwashing, but this time...everyone was just that happy.

Catchy song and Everything's Not Awesome were both great, and I never stopped laughing about the whole space ship piloted by raptors.

Just caught this on DVD. I loved the first LEGO movie and LEGO Batman. This? Meh.

ZZ Top's Tush used in a kids movie? Okay then. This LEGO movie seemed to me to be aimed more at adults.

It could easily have been 20 minutes shorter, IMO. I pretty much checked out after about an hour. I can't imagine how little kids sat through the whole thing when it was in theatres.

Batman Flossing was funny to me though.
