The LEGO Ninjago Movie 2. Walking to cinema with my 5yo I had big doubts if this will not turn on like Lego Batman. An overly dynamic film with nothing but gags. To tell the truth I was physically tired after watching Batman, due to all this chaos that was happening there. Ninjago is totally different movie and as a family movie it works better than previous two Lego movies, maitaining dynamic action sequences. What one NEEDS to know is that this is a complete restart of Ninjago universe like with Spiderman movie series. Although characters are the same, whole story, origin, background is different. Can you imagine Ninjago without Spinjitzu Youd better, because only time we will hear about it will be in a joke scene. This is a new generations dawn of Ninjago. It can easily turn into a series. What I regret is that movie does not relate to TV series. Basically you can be totally fresh in Ninjago universe and go watch this movie. My 5y did not complain though.
