The goal is simple for the heroes: save the town. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet things could go from bad to worse as Emmet, the only figure who can see both the metaphysical and \u201creal\u201d worlds, is troubled by visions of an Ar-mom-ageddon.

Comparisons are already being made to the original film, and while few are willing to say it surpasses the first, it does hold par. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Joseph Carrick After five years of waiting, the metaphysical world of living Legos is back!
