The Lego civilisation he lives in seems to be ticking along nicely, until he tumbles into a quest to stop the crazed Lord Business from glueing everything together and stopping anything from changing ever again. A lot of that is down to old Marvel chums Pratt and Holland, bouncing along together with charm to spare – their brotherly love is the real magic here.Įmmett Brickowski is just a regular Lego guy doing a regular Lego job down in Bricksburg, pulling stuff down and building stuff up. It’s a lot of fun, and like Pixar’s best work, manages to really leap into deepest and darkest of topics without feeling overly bleak or hopeless. The pair – of brothers, and of legs – set out on a fantastical road trip to find the gemstone which can make it happen. Instead, they’re stuck with his disembodied legs, with only one change to make him whole again. Fortunately, his kid brother Ian – voiced by Tom Holland – provides exactly that, when his attempt to briefly resurrect their dead dad goes wrong. He channels his inner Jack Black as Bailey Lightfoot, a teenage elf who loves heavy metal and D&D-like game Quests Of Yore, desperate to find a proper quest to go on.

One who admits to having as many kids under his belt by as many different women as he could, in order to turn rocky, dead planets into extra extensions of his own consciousness? It’s a lot for anyone to take in.

The deployment of Jeff Goldblum’s Dr Ian Malcolm as a little garnish is a very welcome touch, and he’s back with a new riff on the old line about scientists not stopping to wonder whether they should – one which realigns and refreshes the new trilogy’s trajectory. This is where we hit Ultimate Action Pratt, all granite forearms and leather vests, desperate to get to his beloved old face-eating raptor friend Blue before everything explodes. ![]() This time, Pratt’s dinosaur wrangler Owen Grady is drafted in to help save the surviving dinosaurs on the island from an impending volcanic eruption which could wipe them out all over again.
