My husband loved that the movie showed that LEGO bricks can be and do anything, Queen Watevra WaвЂ™Nabi (say it out loud) being the prime example of this. My daughterвЂ™s favorite parts were the sibling relationship between Finn and his little sister Bianca, and the soundtrack.

What did my family think? Well, IвЂ™d say we thought it was awesome, but as the characters in the movie learn, things are most decidedly not awesome, so IвЂ™ll just say we all really enjoyed it. When this invader kidnaps EmmetвЂ™s friends to brainwash them into attending a вЂњmatrimonial ceremony,вЂќ he sets off to save them with the help of tough guy Rex Dangervest. The citizens of the former city of Bricksburg, now Apocalypseburg, are under attack from a new invader. The end of the first movie is вЂњWe are from the Planet Duplo and we are here to destroy you.вЂќ I had kind of assumed that the second movie would pick up there, but instead, it picks up five years later. And when a movie is that much fun to watch, the release of a sequel always makes me nervousвЂ¦But I went to very first showing on opening night hoping that the second part would be as good as the first. I mean, seriously, as we learned tonight, weвЂ™ve been watching it for five years so you know itвЂ™s gotta be pretty good. WeвЂ™ve been waiting five years for this, folks (no, really!), but The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is finally here! My family has always enjoyed the first movie as one thatвЂ™s a great mix of kid and adult humor with some heart-string-tugging thrown in.
