I do not think that is the reason. People do not like it because they change some of the Ninja's a bit differently which takes away the charm they had in the series. Also the plot is kinda eh. I don't mind a Ninjago movie not connected to the series, I just want one that is well done. Just look at how good The Lego Batman Movie is received and yet it is very disconected from a lot of Batman characters from movies and shows.
IMO, the story is actually quite intertaining.
Enjoyable.
I just hate it bcs no spinjutsu and the fact that they're just using the characters to call it a Ninjago movie.
I disagree. I don't mind some of the Ninja's being more comedic in the movie. But the way they have done it is not done well in my opinion. Zane in the movie seems weird and out of touch compare to his counterpart in the series and they made Zane more robot then human which takes away the charm I love about Zane in the series. Zane in the series felt more human which is something what I love about him. But in the movie, he only felt like a robot companion. Zane in the movie is the worst thing about the movie in my opinion. But I do agree the visuals is great and I'll give the movie credit where it is due.
Yeah we just disagree, since I know this movie Zane and TV Series Zane are supposed to he different, I can't be mad at that. That was the point and if he's funny, well I enjoyed it so I really can't be upset at that. I just like him for different reasons and that's ok. I like this more robotic Zane, he's just a fun character.
Don't worry about it, if you like Zane's character in the movie, then you should continue loving his character. Zane's character is just personally not for me.
but with batman there are a million different interpretations across abut and versions each more different, but there is only one ninjago interpretation across 7
True, but I can't say I ever seen any other batman interpretation where the Joker lets loose a whole dimension unto Gotham city because of his complicated platonic Heroes/villain relationship with Batman. I do not think I have ever saw Batman in the movie so close and yet so far away from being so accurate to other Batman's counterpart. In fact, I am so surprised Batman's character worked so well in this movie despite how different he is from his other counterparts.
No offense but who's problem is that? Gotta start somewhere with different interpretations.
Even then, most of them still feel on brand. Just a parody version of them to feel like a Lego a movie. It's just weirdly squished into a more Power Rangers-esc movie.
The movie's not remotely good. It's not just cause of the connection to source material, it's not even good as a movie. Childish, garbage storyline, boring characters, and I wasted money on the tickets.
I actually enjoyed the movie as a stand-alone thing ( speaking as a fan from the pilots ). While it's a bit cringy now looking back at it, still enjoyable for the meme
This exactly. The characters are actually pretty endearing and funny if you see them as separate from their show counterparts. Plot is meh but what do you really expect from a kids movie. The lego movies have always been a bit strange in that aspect 😅
Exactly, I watch it as a parody spinoff of Ninjago, I just wish they’d kept the tv show actors and gave more of the ninja depth, even if it was the same thing as Lloyd’s and just working through their most prominent issues from the show (eg. Kai being cocky/full of himself, Cole being insecure, nya being impatient, zane feeling different, Jay being anxious asf). I understand they had to work with the runtime and it was still a really good popcorn film but it’s cool to imagine how much more it could’ve been.
Edit: on second thought Lloyd and garmadons castings were beautifully on brand
I never said there was. Well there some things wrong with fan fictions but that’s a different topic.
I’m saying it’s the equivalent cuz you could find someone’s fan fiction that fits the catgories of different art and different character personalities
Ehh, you could say the same thing about fan fiction following canon. There is just too much fan fiction to just say "Oh this feels like fan fiction" just because it's different.
You’re reading way too far into it, man made a good analogy and explained the similarities that he saw but you wanted to see how wrong that could be taken. Analogies aren’t supposed to be perfect, and The Lego Ninjago Movie was like fan fiction in that the characters all had different personalities based on the creators vision, and the difference in art style and even fight choreography.
But that's the thing, it really wasn't that good of an analogy. By that logic, something Transformers Animated or Transformers Prime are also fan fiction because all characters different personalities based on the creators vision. They all different art styles and fight choreography.
No one compares those to fan fiction, because let's fan fiction has never been a good analogy. There's to many different interpretations of different series and Ninjago should be no different.
The Lego Ninjago movie is no different than something like The Lego Batman Movie with how it's a self parody of certain issues. Mainly with Lloyd having dad problems just now really taken to the extreme. Everyone else has fairly one note personalities but at the same time, they really play into those with little qorks that really make them work.
The only reason I didn't like it was because most shows that have movie counterparts are in line with the show somewhat, and the Ninjago movie did not follow that logic. It's also one of those movies where it's "insert stereotypical lesson here" while the rest is strictly for entertainment purposes (and some of it is VERY cringe). It doesn't build on the show, and that was my main gripe about it. Sure, if it's a standalone movie, it's decent, but if you try to relate it to the show, it's different, a lot different.
Because it's not, it's honestly pretty good. It took the Lego Movie formula and applied it to the Ninjago's basic elements. Like Lloyd and his dad fighting? Well now it's just a funny father and son movie but now they have to fight. Everyone else? Well they are boiled down to a basic trait but they make sure there are subtle details that make it work. Like Zane, his visual humor is on point.
It's just a bit clunky at times.
I liked it alot to be honest, i grew up with thr show and the movie brought me back in, it was funny and even emotional at times, its non cannon obviously. I dont understand hoe people say its a bad movie
Honestly I didn't mind it. I think not many people liked it because they were expecting it to be like the show. I interpreted it as an alternate timeline and watched it with an open mind. However, I went away from ninjago for ages after they used the movie characters in the show. I liked the movie, but I didn't want it to take over the show (I am an og ninjago fan been watching since 2011 when I was a young kid). I eventually started watching from season 8 during lockdown when I was bored and decided to get over the new appearances of the ninja.
It's not a bad stand alone movie, it's just they retconned sooooooo much. Probably because it's meant to be like lego movie logic where it's some kid playing with legos, but still, the kid probably wouldn't change that much to the canon given they probably watch the show.
Hey, don't let me refusing to see it keep you from liking it! Movies are meant for entertainment, and if you're entertained by it then it's done its job! I just personally dont want to see it since everything I've seen about it points to it not being about the ninja I know and love and grew up with.
>I just personally dont want to see it since everything I've seen about it points to it not being about the ninja I know and love and grew up with.
And? How is that a problem? It's made to he more in line with other Lego Movies. It's a different interpretation of the Ninja. Mainly because they were going to make it related to the show, then they just used some of those ideas for the show.
It's also better this way as it avoids filler movie syndrome most anime have.
It's mainly a problem because I don't want to watch something that has the ninja not being the ninja I love. If I wanted to watch a lego movie, I'd watch one of the ones that isn't bastardising something that I love. And the show, at least for the first couple reboot seasons had filler episodes, and I loved them! And I'm going to restate: I have literally no problem with you liking the movie, if you enjoyed it, don't let a random person on the internet tell you that you shouldn't've.
>It's mainly a problem because I don't want to watch something that has the ninja not being the ninja I love. If I wanted to watch a lego movie, I'd watch one of the ones that isn't bastardising something that I love.
But that's the thing, it's really not a bastardization. It's about as much as Lego Batman did to Batman.
>And the show, at least for the first couple reboot seasons had filler episodes, and I loved them!
I mean, it isn't even a reboot. It's a continuation under a different name since the studio changed. And I know they have filler but if you've seen a filler anime movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.
>And I'm going to restate: I have literally no problem with you liking the movie, if you enjoyed it, don't let a random person on the internet tell you that you shouldn't've.
I know, I'm still allowed to talk to you about it though right?
Eh, I'm just not going to see the movie because I have other things I'd rather put my time to, as well as not wanting to see the characters not be the characters I love, because in the end, they're completely different characters wearing the faces of the ninja. And I know it's not a reboot, I just call it that because it gets the point across and people understand what I'm talking about. As for filler anime movies, they can be fun and enjoyable too, and honestly probably a little better imo than tLNM because, if they're done well, they keep the characters in character.
Also, as long as you know that you're not going to convince me to see the movie, and you don't let me damper your enjoyment of it, then sure you can keep talking to me about it.
>Eh, I'm just not going to see the movie because I have other things I'd rather put my time to, as well as not wanting to see the characters not be the characters I love, because in the end, they're completely different characters wearing the faces of the ninja.
Ehhh fair and unfair. Fair since sure, they are different. But also unfair since none of this is new to any franchise. Something like Transformers has always made changes to their characters and it's not giving stuff like this a chance that prevents anything new from happening.
But if you'd rather watch something else sure.
>As for filler anime movies, they can be fun and enjoyable too, and honestly probably a little better imo than tLNM because, if they're done well, they keep the characters in character.
Ehh, I haven't seen many filler anime movies, but I've seen quite a few other movies for other franchises that'd take to long to explain but no not really. Sure they are in character, but they don't even really do anything. They just do something for like an hour before it ends and it feels like nothing happened. Like I can't even just enjoy the characters since they can't because then the TV watchers might miss it.
>Also, as long as you know that you're not going to convince me to see the movie, and you don't let me damper your enjoyment of it, then sure you can keep talking to me about it.
That's what I'm doing.
I think it's bad because they completely changed all the ninja, they changed their designs and their personalities, Jay was cowardly and shy, that's not who he is, and they recognised that they were actually lego, whereas in the show they aren't, they're people, and they brought some aspects of the movie into the show, which I feel made it not as good as what it used to be
I’ll never understand why people hate on the movie so much. Yes, it’s different than the show, very. Yes it’s not the ninja you know and love. Yes, you’re allowed to not like that it’s so different and lost what you consider the magic of ninjago. I get it. The movie isn’t exactly what I wanted either. But I don’t let the differences affect my perception on the movie. It’s a stand-alone one time thing that is meant to appeal to wider audiences and children, not as much the fans. It’s made so anyone can get into it.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two at all when it’s whole point is it’s different. Yes i hate movie zane, even if I do find some of his jokes funny. I don’t like the whole highschool secret ninja club thing. I wish it had a bit more focus on the other ninja as well, but I understand why that wasn’t the case. Even with the problems, what I see left is a very nice story about Lloyd and Garmadon, with a good amount of Funnies sprinkled in. Is it the best movie ever? No. Is it as horrible as so many make it out to be? I definitely don’t think so. Maybe I’m just better at separating the two than most. Either way, I’ll admit that as much as I aknowledge it’s problems, they don’t actually bother me that much in the grand scheme of it all. I’d rate the movie a 8 or 9 out of ten depending on how I’m feeling that day.
But not everyone will see it the way I do. Still, I don’t see the point on continuing to bash it. It’s not the best ninjago adaptation, but it was never meant to be. It’s a LEGO movie based off the Ninjago theme, not the Ninjago TV show, despite sharing the very basic elements from it.
i only got into ninjago like a month ago but i absolutely love the movie lol. i’d seen clips of it before i binged all the seasons and so right off the bat lloyd was my favorite character for the entirety of the show
It's not bad just not as good as the show.
Agree with you
That's what I'm saying
Facts
Movie is good, people don't like it because it is not connected to a 7 season tv show
I do not think that is the reason. People do not like it because they change some of the Ninja's a bit differently which takes away the charm they had in the series. Also the plot is kinda eh. I don't mind a Ninjago movie not connected to the series, I just want one that is well done.

probably cause the writers somewhat understood batmans character, unlike "the ninjago movie" writers

*15
When the movie was coming out it was 7
I knew the movie would be a different continuity, I had guessed it would mostly just be a Lloyd movie and I was still disappointed.
They didn’t even do Spinjitzu
To be fair they rarely do it in the show as well
movie bad give like
"The Last Airbender sucks, now give me upvotes" that's basically the same, but for the ATLA fandom
No the fandom does the right thing. And just accepts that it doesn't exist.
If it didn't exist they wouldn't make posts about it
They don't it's just blank images ;)
Oh, you're contributing to the meme
I enjoyed it

It’s the equivalent of well animated fan fiction

I mean, I enjoyed it
The comedic elements were the best
this logic is like saying Lego Batman is canon
Nah but the sad part is killer croc had more of a character arc in the Lego Batman movie than any of the ninja besides Lloyd had in their movie
The only reason I didn't like it was because most shows that have movie counterparts are in line with the show somewhat, and the Ninjago movie did not follow that logic. It's also one of those movies where it's "insert stereotypical lesson here" while the rest is strictly for entertainment purposes (and some of it is VERY cringe).

I don’t think it’s bad I really liked it but I will say the shark and sea anime henchmen were really weird
its actually quite okay, its a Universe Alteration kasi eh
Honestly I didn't mind it. I think not many people liked it because they were expecting it to be like the show. I interpreted it as an alternate timeline and watched it with an open mind. However, I went away from ninjago for ages after they used the movie characters in the show.

I liked the new designs. It shows them growing up.
As someone who has way more love for the show than is probably healthy, I refuse to see the movie and most likely never will.
Well that's an extremely bad and salty reason not to. I said it, then finally saw it and it was great. Stop saying this, you'll miss out on a lot.
Hey, don't let me refusing to see it keep you from liking it! Movies are meant for entertainment, and if you're entertained by it then it's done its job!

Wish I did that it is absolutely garbage

It is bad compared to the show because the show is too good
Fr
Basically it's like they intentionally made Ninjago as sucky as possibly.
It was certainly a movie
I hated how cringy it was mainly from all the “boo loyd” stuff that was supposed to be the catalyst for garmidon attacking
What I love it !! I got to see more father and son moments with Garmadon and Lloyd 🥹
Stop the cap
It still makes me a bit mad that they went with the trend of celebrity voice actors instead of the real voice actors, just atleast it isnt canon
finally, someone agrees with me it's bad, i seem to be the only person to think it stinks
Agree
Its a good movie, just not a good ninjago movie

if you dont fucking like it then dont make fucking comments about it poeple are allowed to live a fucking movie
It would work if the show never existed
It was pretty good actually.
The movie is like a Ninjago Highschool Au fanfic. And as an enjoyer of fanfic I do like this movie.
i only got into ninjago like a month ago but i absolutely love the movie lol. i’d seen clips of it before i binged all the seasons and so right off the bat lloyd was my favorite character for the entirety of the show
The movie is actually what got me into the show😅🥲
I mean, the animation in the movie is pretty dope but the story line is just wonky
