The last battle against an entertaining collection of historic villains - Sauron from “Lord of the Rings” and bad Mogwai from “Gremlins” among them - explores no ground that wasn’t covered in the first “Lego Movie.” (And much earlier in the “Imaginationland” TV trilogy on “South Park.”)īut it’s a letdown only in the way that one feels disappointed when Terrell Owens replaces 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice, or when Ronnie Wood slots in for Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. The movie begins to drag in the final act, when it becomes clear there’s no secret twist that will take the film to another height. Like its predecessor, “The Lego Batman Movie” works as both comedy and action. (“Black … All important movies start with a black screen …”)įrom there, the filmmakers successfully mine everything that’s funny about Batman - his brooding nature, his repetitive story lines, his vanity - while still maintaining most of what makes him cool.
