Find the ninja within this Friday, when LEGO NINJAGO kicks into theaters. The kids and I were fortunate to screen this movie a few weeks ago and I can finally share our LEGO NINJAGO movie review.
The Story
In this big-screen NINJAGO® adventure, the battle for NINJAGO City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, a.k.a. the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner power of Spinjitzu.
This film pays homage to the 1980s martial arts films we have all watched. Jackie Chan makes this movie for me with his Mr. Miyagi type character, Master Wu. He's not only super wise, but also hilarious.
If you have watched the original LEGO Movie, you can expect similar father-son moments, although this time it happens in the LEGO world and the dad isn't Lord Business but a crazy ninja.
My favorite part, aside from Master Wu, was the Mech the ninjas use to help battle Garmadon and his cronies. It reminded me of watching the Power Rangers in the 90s. Can someone build me a sick looking green dragon with over-the-top weapons? K Thanks!
What the kids had to say:
Oh my gosh! I loved the kitty! So cute! And the girl ninja, she kicked the boys' butts! -The Princess
I liked the fighting. Hi-yah! Take that! Oh yeah! – The Pirate
I liked when the cat was chasing all the LEGO guys. – The Nephew
The LEGO NINJAGO Movie is in theaters September 22nd!
My boys are so excited about this movie! We are Lego crazy in our home. They just started watching the Ninjago series too!
Well, I know whats the next movie we are going to be taking the kids too!
They love Ninjago! Man, it seems like ages ago I was struggling with how to even say the name Ninjago 🙂
The Lego movies rock. I miss the days when son thought Legos were the coolest. Maybe I should take myself out this weekend.
We’ve seen all the LEGO movies in the theater so far. I’m sure this weekend will be no different!
This movie looks so fun! All three kids are dying to see it!
My husband can’t wait to see this movie! Haha. He loves all those 1980’s ninja movies and he loves the Lego movie so yeah, he will be there! Do you think young children will like it too? My kids are 5 and 2??
I bet this will be a huge hit! This looks like so much fun, and everyone loves the Lego movies!
This looks like such a cute movie. I will have to take my niece and nephew to see it.
This looks like so much fun for the kids to watch. I have two nephews that have been talking about this for the last week or so. I am pretty sure they will be going.
I haven’t heard of this movie, but it sounds like it will be a major hit! It looks like such a fun movie and I love Legos.
My kids are anxiously awaiting to see this! We loved the other Lego movies so we’ll definitely be seeing this one too!
