Don't listen to the negative reviews

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Well, this is a kids movie by all means. And of course it should also be a kids movie, as it is LEGO after all.I sat down to watch it with my, then 7 year old, son to watch "The Lego Ninjago Movie". It turned out that my son actually enjoyed the movie quite a lot. Me on the other hand, not so much.The storyline was just not appealing to me, as an adult. But of course this was a hit with the kids.The CGI animation was flawless and quite good, of course, as it always is with these LEGO movies.It should definitely be mentioned that they had some really good voice acting performers in the movie. And as an animated movie, then having a talented cast for the voice acting is rather crucial.If you enjoy LEGO then this is definitely a movie worth your time.

As someone who watches the tv series and has seen all the LEGO movies this movie was very disappointing. Not funny, terrible story, and nothing like the tv series. One of the few movies I struggled to finish watching. Just awful.

Pretty good lighthearted family friendly animated adventure, not as good as the original "Lego movie" or the "Lego Batman movie" but not bad!

Lloyd and a small group of high school friends are secretly a group of ninja/heroes operating mechs in the city Ninjago: this is handy, because Lloyd's father, the villain Garmadon, launches hugely destructive attacks on Ninjago every day or two from his volcano base on a nearby island. Lloyd, when not disguised as the Green Ninja, is shunned by his peers, and harbours great resentment towards his father. He is mentored by his father's brother, the ancient mystic ninja Wu.I understand Lego as a toy. It is a brilliant toy, even if the Americans do insist on incorrectly pluralising the individual bricks as Legos. Bless. And I understand using Lego as a vehicle for combination spoof/homage movies like The LEGO movie and The LEGO Batman movie.This isn't a spoof. It's based on Lego sets and spin-off TV series, so the casual viewer is probably not familiar with the source material (not so with the two previous Lego movies). This makes it a little more difficult to get into the specific world of the film.Of course, it is straightforward to spot influences. Power Rangers is the most obvious one, but all the way through the film you find yourself saying "That's the New York battle from the Avengers". "That's from Enter The Dragon" and so on. Which is perhaps a way of saying that the film is built from recognisable bits and doesn't have an ounce of originality other than that everything is built of Lego.As usual with Lego films, the action is so frenetic that it's difficult to follow. The voice work is good except for Justin Theroux who overdoes it as Garmadon. The script has some chuckles, but far too few (I liked the fact that Garmadon calls Lloyd "Lu-loyd" because of the double L, and that the main monster is Meowthra).Kids in the cinema were restless. Maybe they hadn't watched the TV series.
