My Review of The Lego Ninjago Movie

        So I recently watched The Lego Ninjago Movie and I'm here to bring you my review? So without further ado...

        The battle for NINJAGO City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd (voiced by Dave Franco), aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, also secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu (voiced by Jackie Chan), as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat the evil warlord Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux), who also happens to be Lloyd's dad. Pitting father against son, the epic showdown tests these fierce but undisciplined modern-day ninjas as they learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash the inner power of Spinjitzu.

       

        This is film is a perfect example of a film trying way to hard to stand out amongst the crowd. Back in 2014 The Lego Movie really changed the game in a lot of ways and it presented several possibilities for multiple spin-off films and we got one of those earlier this year with The Lego Batman movie which was super cleaver in a lot of different ways, but this film isn't that in a lot of ways. With this new universe you're going to get a lot of films that you wouldn't normally hear about and to that aspect, some people would automatically be turned off by it. The animation of course is magnificent as do all the Lego movies so far and there are a few gags in the film that you have to pay really close attention to to get and at times there are some emotional moments that try to go the route of the previous two films and try to reel you in that way. You can truly feel the tone shift in this film compared to the other Lego films and this one id definitely meant for children and that is mainly due to the popularity and success of the television show that has been going one even before the first Lego film so it has a core audience and to those people this film is something you can enjoy, but for others it jut seems like a hot mess. Overall this is possibly the worst entry yet in the Lego movie universe and it did try to be something different on multiple fronts, but it just felt like a bland and boring film that is trying to feed off the success of the other films instead of being something more original. I give the The Lego Ninjago Movie a 4 out of 10.
