	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A perfectly adequate family film for kids who love watching things they've seen many times before (...) It offers plenty of chuckles for their parents but nothing approaching the glee of that first Lego Movie."	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"[It] is still plenty of fun, but the formula is beginning to wear thin (...) 'Ninjago' sometimes strains to keep up the pace (...) Beautifully animated"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Every bit as irreverent, smart, and ridiculously entertaining as its predecessors, 'The LEGO Ninjago Movie' works even if you have no idea what a 'Ninjago' is."	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"'Ninjago' strongly captures the same manically entertaining and often hilarious nature of its predecessors (...) [It] sparkles with humor and kung fu style (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Soren Andersen Seattle Times	"There is considerable substance and cleverness in 'Ninjago' (...) Adults can appreciate the verbal byplay. For the kids, there’s frenzied noise, and those toys (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Angie Han Mashable	"[It] isn't a totally bad time. There are some really great jokes in there (...) But after a promisingly funny start (...) we dive into the main plot. And the charm quickly starts to wear off."	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman The Wrap	"While parents may miss the second-level smarts of its predecessors, kids should fall right into the fun (...) Once the movie prioritizes emotion over action, though, the pacing falls off."	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"[It] plays like a middling kid distractor (...) 'The Lego Ninjago' movie isn’t any worse than any number of professionally made but unexciting cartoons aimed at kids"	NEU
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"Even if 'Ninjago' marks a significant step down from the other LEGO movies, it’s worth noting that it continues the series’ mission to subvert the usual good/evil dynamics in children’s films"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Familiar, forgettable fun (...) [It] covers similar ground but at such a fast pace, it’s impossible to be bored (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
