What the locals don’t realize is that behind the mask lies Lloyd (voiced by Dave Franco), a teen loathed by most for being the estranged son of Garmadon. It’s left up to a group of brave, if somewhat untrained, ninjas to fight him off, spearheaded by a very mysterious and very green hero. In this latest adventure, we find ourselves in the idyllic Ninjago community, a place that’s under the constant threat of destruction thanks to a neighboring volcano that houses super-villain Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux). With any other newly created franchise, it could seem like overkill but it’s somehow hard to be too cynical about these films, despite how cynical it all seems on paper. The Lego Batman Movie soon followed, pleasing most, and before The Lego Movie Sequel hits, we have another spinoff: The Lega Ninjago Movie. It was critical and commercial gold and led to the creation of something rare: a cinematic universe that people actually wanted. It was smart and knowing without being smug and it managed to be self-critical yet also strangely optimistic. But then The Lego Movie was released and temporarily shut everyone up.
