The Lego Ninjago Movie
Young Master Craftsman Lloyd, a.k.a. The Green Ninja, and his pals, who are also covert ninja warriors, are called to action by the big fight in their Ninjago City. They must overcome the terrible tyrant Garmadon - who also seems to be Lloyd's father - under the leadership of the witty and intelligent Master Wu. The epic battle pits the father against his son, and challenges these ferocious but undisciplined contemporary ninjas to control their egos and work together to release the inner strength of Spinjitzu.
The Lego Ninjago Movie is by far one of the most recent animated films to draw influence from martial arts, after the Kung Fu Panda series and Big Hero 6. In this Lego installment with an Asian flavor, only a gang of adolescent Ninjas stands between the Ninjago City and all the daily onslaught of the wicked Lord Garmadon.
Ingenious usage of sharks as missiles and the six-toed hairy monster Meowthra are the best highlights of the movie. We highly recommend The Lego Ninjago Movie for lovers of goofy flicks, due to its exceptional frivolity and humor!
