Pretty good

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2014)

Visually, this film is stunning, The action pieces, the cinematography, the editing, the sound design, the vocal performances are all great. However, it suffers from the same thing the first did, and that's a pretty formulaic script, Sure, I'm not expecting something ground- breaking for a kids' film, but this one is just way too by-the-numbers. Still, it's very enjoyable and entertaining, even if it recycles some of the same themes from the first. It's "bigger", but I'd still argue that the first film had more emotional resonance and a simpler, but tighter, script. This isn't better than The Lego Movie, but it gets the job done, and is rather underrated.
