Biggest Problems with the Lego Ninjago Movie

To be honest I think it actually is more grown up. The show is cool but the movie is modern and has an older age range. Well the movie was 2017 anyway and the show was 2011. Its supposed to be funny and anyway it has more famous cast

Yep definitely same can be also said for The Emoji Movie, Teen Titans Go movie etc

Nya mentions "dab", seriously what has animation become today

I like lego movies. Usually full of LOADS of humour and fun without being cringy or bland, yet still have some emotional moments. I Want to see the lego batman and ninjago movies but haven't yet.

I like The lego batman movie and the lego movie, but lego ninjago? Will they ever take a break from the lego heroes stuff?

We didn't need a LEGO movie in theaters to begin with. Let alone THREE others.

At least on the bright side, there taking a break from Lego in 2018

Jokes were awful.

I expected more characters from the cartoon to be in the movie.

Some scenes from the trailer were in the movie, just re-edited

Most of the scenes in the trailer weren't even in the movie!

More character development in the show. The main characters are very bland, Garmadon is not very evil like in the show, and Wu is basically the only good character in the show. The ninja aren't that powerful like in the show; especially Lloyd, who has "Green". Lloyd should have Energy instead. Energy is cool and powerful, while "Green" is just stupid and useless.

There's no character development. At least in the show there is.

Lloyd is just super bland, nya is annoying like she always is, zane, cole, jay, and kai all feel the same and just seem like filler, garmadon is an unfunny villain, and koko is just meh, like really meh, sensei wu was hilarious though,

EVERYONE except our favorite sensei was horrible

In the show, almost every character had a distinct, unique personality with layers and a great narrative. The characters are not just a bunch of teenage ninjas, but a family. The movie RUINS this. The movie spends all its time on Lloyd. Lloyd this, Lloyd that. He was a complete Gary Stu and his powers were a joke which was SO annoying! In the show, Lloyd had flaws, but was still a great person. Oh, yeah, and he shot energy balls! The other ninja's personality and appearance changes just get worse. They turned Cole, the hard-working, self-sacrificing leader who struggles with his past into this 2-Dimensional stereotype of "the chill one". And they gave him terrible hair! They took Jay, the funny, sarcastic, brave inventor of fun gadgets into this cowardly, awkward, insecure stereotype with bad hair and few good qualities. Also they threw away his relationship with Nya! Speaking of Nya, they really ruined her. Nya in the show was originally a sammuri who could solve problems before the ...more

The show’s characters were ones that we literally grew up getting to know! I’ve been watching Ninjago ever since the pilot special episodes came out back in 2011 - back when I was 16 - and anyone else who has been with the show since then, agrees that the characters are really well-done. They are each complex and different with personalities that complement as well as stand out from each other. But in the movie, all of that was thrown away. The characters were completely rewritten and redesigned, trying to get a new group of kids interested in the franchise. However, all it did was shoot itself in the foot. The LEGO Ninjago movie is pretty much a sham, and I typically find that anyone who really loves and enjoys the show doesn’t really care for the movie that much. They really ruined all the characters, but especially Jay, and he’s my absolute favorite character. So glad that the characters are back to normal in the show again! The only good characterization that came out of ...more

The ninja all have such terrible hair! Ok, Lloyd's isn't the worst thing in the world, but the others look like a person with chicken-scratch handwriting/art skills tried to sculpt plastic Lego hair and then decided they should get inspiration from something their cat coughed up.

The only good things about this movie were the catchy music, the fact that it gets tou to laugh, and recognizes Moms. All I could think of while watching it was how it betrayed the show worse than the Percy Jackson movies betrayed the books.

... Dude, Ninjago was made by Lego group, so this didn't make sense

Ninjago was already by the Lego company.

Same thing as lego movie, but with ninjas

Ninjago was already made by Lego but the story in this and Lego Batman were pretty much the same as The Lego Movie, the city is under attack and some heroes save it, pretty much the same thing

How is that a bad thing? This list honestly just sounds like you took every little thing from the movie to nitpick about.

Between this and the characters, I found the sorest thumbs on the hand

The water isn't lego, the fire isn't lego, the food isn't lego!,

Most of the Lego Movie was CGI.

Outrageous! A LEGO movie being made to sell toys, I have never heard of such a heinous crime!

The time that this came out I saw the toys everywhere it was annoying as hell

The only thing on the list that actully deserves to be on the list.

Overrated does not mean bad. It means it gets too much attention. You really need to get a dictionary to learn the meanings of words

Overrated does not mean bad. And TLNM isn't even that overrated anyway. It has a 54% at Rotten Tomatoes.

People complain about the score on rotten tomatoes, when they don't get how rt really works

Overrated does not mean bad.

No they don't! Nya is Kai's sister and hangs out with him but Kai also hangs out with the others therefore Nya became their friend.

They think 5 guys hang out with 1 girl in real life? The hell

Only the new villain in the Ninjago movie. He’s my favourite although I hate cats.

Meowthra is so cute ^w^

This doesn't live up to the LEGO Movie.

Teaches kids to hate their fathers
