THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART 3D

Watchable. Chaotic, especially the beginning but the whole thing is a pile of rubbish compiled out of references to LOTR, dinosaurs, Barbie's ponies, Matrix and BTTF "for very mature people". With a number of songs which additionally create genre confusion. The action is Barbie-like and very childish. When Batman's being coerced into a marriage, he says after that he "won't rise" - about one good movie reference in the whole production. Still it's not funny. Will Farrell, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks dub the original but can't be heard in Poland which is all dubbed in Polish: dialogues and songs apart from the songs over the credits of which the first is about credits which have become the main attraction. No mid- or post-credit though. Standard 3D: noticeable but nothing special.

Watchable. Excellent electro music though incongruous with the story of a group of underage delinquents. The leader is a sociopathic, sadistic pimp, school girls prostitute themselves either out of the feeling of power over men or coerced by the pimp. Shockingly the teenagers are from decent, well-off families, adult men need very little incentive to pay them for sex and the kids seek what will sell best and what will bring popularity online (which results in pornography). The story's engaging and more and more brutal as it develops yet without extremes. Unnecessary going to and fro in time.
