Maybe my expectations were too high, hell I even loved The LEGO Ninjago Movie, the one in this franchise most people seem to agree is pretty mediocre. An easy choice to entertain you and your family on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's not perfect but it didn't need to be. It's one of those rare modern CGI-filled kids pictures that has about as much to say to the parent as it does juvenile audiences. If the original was about a father who really needed to loosen up, this movie is about his son needing to do the same. We still get plenty of sharp writing from Phil Lord and Chris Miller Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, and Elizabeth Banks are great as you'd expect and the visuals, set pieces, soundtrack, and plethora of fun licensed material may encourage viewers to open up a crate of LEGO's and have at it. The Lego Batman movie was damn good, the Lego Ninjago outing was a decent rental movie, and this picture manages to follow up on the themes of the original and expand on them, albeit in a more predictable manner. Just because your intention is to sell a product doesn't mean you can't have cutting commentary or take the piss out of what you are selling. If you may recall, the original Lego Movie was a bolt from the blue, a rude shock to the world of post-millennial animation.
