The truth of the matter cannot be ignored: The Lego Movie was an ad. In fact, with its contagious energy and surprising knack for joining big ideas with tiny details, it was about as good an ad as there is – you could say it was, like its hypnotizingly catchy anthem declared (over…and over…and over again), awesome.

It’s just not as rousing or as inventive as its predecessor – which is certainly no easy task – even though it’s built with many of the same pieces. But that may be a part of the problem.
