Laugh-out-loud funny in a couple spots, it has the same sense of humor as the original Lego Movie. Ultimately it's not as good as the Lego Movie, but it's pretty good.
I feel asleep for about an hour, in the middle of it. Took my 7yo and a bunch of his friends to a 10am Saturday showing, at a theater with reclining seats, and I just dozed off for a bit.
How this movie is different different: the Lego Movie started slower, easing you into its world a little before taking off on the crazy adventure. Chris Pratt's Emmett is more engaging/sympathetic/enjoyable than Will Arnett's Batman. This story is a little more formulaic kumbaya (Batman learns that he needs people). This movie is so visually chaotic, right from the start, that I wonder if part of the reason I fell asleep was my brain shutting down from the visual assault. The young children kept up with it just fine; probably just an old dude thing.
No reason to stay away from it, if your kid's interested. Just don't expect it to be as impressive as the original Lego Movie.
