I saw this for the first time last week after re-watching the first, and while I don't think it's quite as good as the first, I don't care, I still love this movie almost as much. It retains a lot of the charm the first one had, and I love how the plot connects to the ending of the first. It even has a really good message about how kids should play nicely together.
Sadly, this film was a box-office bomb, and while it's upsetting that this was the final movie from the Lego Movie franchise, I honestly think the ending to this film wrapped everything up really well, and I'd rather we have only two absolutely fantastic movies than the franchise to overstay it's welcome, similarly to how people feel about the Ice Age franchise (I need to re-watch all five films someday). Regardless though, this movie was a really nice closure.
