Review of The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017) by Jbarbara — 28 Oct 2017
Jackie Chen is angry at his cat for a recent scar to his hand, and he hijacks the LEGO Ninjago story to portray the feline as a city-destructing monster. The film is so painful to watch (thanks to incessant bad comedy and jittery animation) that I only managed to watch any of it because my daughter was prodding me to wake up.
The sour cherry on the sugarfree cake was the use of non-diegetic objects such as the laser pen and the above-mentioned feline. Number one rule for audience immersion is to not break consistency. And having the real-life cat appearing in an otherwise LEGO-based world (named Legoscope - I see what you did there) is all against the rules of consistency.
My 11year old son claimed that the series is much better - take his word for it and stick to TV.
