Lego Ninjago (2017)

"Lego Ninjago" is a mostly animated movie about LEGO. It follows a 16 year old and his friends in the city of Ninjago. Lloyd is a kid who doesn't fit in because his Dad is the city's bad guy. Lloyd only has a few friends and together they protect the city from Garagamon (Lloyd's Dad). The film is about talent and the influence and importance of family. Lloyd becomes a leader through the film as his friends learn to work together.

Upside
Some good action sequences
One good joke for the adults - paraphrase  all outta bubble gum quote from "They Live"

Downside
Very Power Rangers - teenager heroes, driving mechs, identified by colours
The theme was very superficially explored
The live action scenes felt unnecessary and unrealistic
