The battle for NINJAGO City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, also secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat the evil warlord Garmadon, 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.

Critics Consensus

Despite ample charm and a few solid gags, The Lego Ninjago Movie suggests this franchise's formula isn't clicking like it used to.

Observer (UK)

Very silly, very funny and particularly recommended for fans of hokey chopsocky films and kittens.

Rated: 4/5

Lego Ninjago, conversely, can't sustain its central joke over an overlong 101 minutes. Everything is not quite awesome.

Rated: 3/5

Times (UK)

Just as Toy Story did by featuring an owner of the toys, it reminds us that these films are about play and imagination. Yes, they're also effectively feature-length adverts for Lego, but this is rampant capitalism at its most arch and entertaining.

Easy entertainment for the kids even if it's not as original as the others...

Third Coast Review

When I say this is my least favorite of the three Lego animated films, I don't mean that as an insult... In fact, The LEGO Ninjago Movie is still quite spirited, funny, and fully enjoyable.

I have a lot to say about this movie, i will try to keep it short. to anyone who didn’t know the lore, the story and characters make little to no sense, while anyone who does know the lore will be disappointed that it diverges so far in every aspect, making this movie look unrecognizable in comparison to the franchise, being most disappointed by the potential this movie had. this movie may have been the worst of the 4 lego movies, but the bay is so high that this still manages to be ridiculously funny as well with good dialogue, great line delivery, and a touching(but slightly fragile), mostly coherent story. 7/10

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The animation team was let down greatly by whoever wrote the dialogue. Snappy combat scenes are separated by cringe-worthy lines and round after round of awkwardly matching the ninjas with their elements. The complete disregard for the lore is obvious to non-fans, and a slap in the face to anybody who has seen the series. There's a few great lines (mainly courtesy Kumail Nanjiani's Jay), but there's no doubt you'll walk away wondering how they got this movie so wrong.

Insanely underrated. Doesn’t reach the highs of the first Lego movie, or the Batman one on a story level, but it is every bit as funny, and still offers some heart. I was laughing out loud constantly at its clever jokes.
