Ok first before u read all the bad reviews down below all of the bad đánh giá are from the Ninjago franchise most people hate the movie as the movie is not good at all compared khổng lồ the show , the show is 10 times better and I agree but for that dont hate the movie sure there is a little inapporpriate sentences (2 sentences) but nobody cares about that and its a really really good movie for positive role models & friendship so I highly recommend this movie
Hate khổng lồ say it but compared to prior LEGO movies this one was boring & a bit dark. My 6 year old baled almost immediately. She was bored. My 8 year old boy gave it a chance but ultimately walked away đôi mươi minutes from the end. It was dark (meaning macabre) compared lớn other lego movies và , well, just kinda boring. Maybe LEGO movie fatigue is starting lớn set in.

In the Lego town of Ninjago, a mysterious force of good ninjas stands against the repeated assaults of Lord Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux). Their leader (Dave Franco) is secretly Lord Garmadon"s son, Lloyd (or as Garmadon says, "L-loyd"), an outcast in the town for nothing but his villainous heritage. When the absentee dad finally takes over Ninjago, Lloyd, his fellow ninjas, và their wise master (Jackie Chan) must go on a quest to lớn find a secret capable of defeating Lord Garmadon & the "terrible" monster they"ve accidentally unleashed. Got that? There"s also a shorter version: THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE is an empowerment movie with family-reconciliation elements & lots of jokes.


This kid-friendly adventure rises above any potential Lego fatigue with sly humor & strong voice performances. Which is notable, because The Lego Ninjago Movie has a few strikes against it going in: an animation style we"ve now seen quite a bit, a familiar hero"s-journey plot, three directors và 12 (yes, 12) writers credited between story và screenplay. At times, it can feel -- ahem -- assembled from incongruous pieces. That"s seen in its on-again, off-again cheeky kung fu movie tribute feel, snapped together with obligatory positive messaging and product placement. Fortunately, it"s all accompanied by some wacky laughs. For instance, by way of explaining how a character became a villain, there"s a visual joke about his "unstable foundations." Plus, there are pop culture riffs and a fake 3d sequence. But perhaps the best-sustained gag is the nature of the movie"s big quái dị (which we won"t reveal here).

All of the Lego movies have had enviable voice casts, and Ninjago boasts one of the most interesting. Apart from leads Franco & Theroux (The Leftovers), who sounds as if he"s having a whale of a time as the villainous dad, the legendary Chan appears in two roles. Chan và Theroux get most of the laughs. Other nice ninjas are voiced by Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick), Zach Woods (also of Silicon Valley), Michael Peña (memorable in everything from Crash to Ant-Man), & Abbi Jacobson (Broad City). You can"t help but wonder how their talents might have been used with a more integrated script. But what ends up on screen is easily the second-best Lego movie so far. It"s funny, it looks good, the messages are positive, và it"s less chaotic than Lego Batman. Good stuff for a family movie night.


The main character"s dad is a villain who left the family. Most of the movie is about them coming to lớn an understanding with each other. Kids: What vị you think of where their relationship ends up?

Sensei Wu goes lớn extremes lớn get his charges to lớn listen khổng lồ him. Why vì you think he has to vị that? Kids: bởi vì you always listen khổng lồ smart adults who are trying khổng lồ help you (be honest!)?

Kids: Does anyone at your school get judged unfairly by their peers? vì you know people who are treated badly for reasons other than who they really are inside?

Did we miss something on diversity?
