Biggest Problems with the Lego Ninjago Movie
For some reason, the ninjas are in high school?
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.
They also focus too much on Lloyd and his dad.
There's more character development in the show. The main characters in the movie are very bland. Garmadon is not very evil like in the show, and Wu is basically the only good character in the movie. The ninja aren't as powerful as they are 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.
I expected more characters from the cartoon to be in the movie.
Most of the scenes in the trailer weren't even in the movie!
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, when I was 16. 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 to try 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 care for the movie that much. They really ruined all the characters, especially Jay, and he's my absolute favorite character. I'm so glad that the characters are back to normal in the show again! The only good characterization that came out of this was Sensei Wu. I'd love to see Jackie Chan play him again!
Between this and the characters, I found the sorest thumbs on the hand.
The Newcomers
The only thing on the list that actually deserves to be on the list.
When this came out, I saw the toys everywhere. It was annoying as hell.
Meowthra was the only new villain in the Ninjago movie. He's my favorite, although I hate cats.




I stopped watching it after Lloyd became an evil ghost and all these crappy pirates.
