CineTv Contest: NINJAGO [ENG/ESP]@yasmarit998d

Hello, a pleasure to be here in this new Contest in this case I can say that I have not seen many movies or programs that contain this type of theme, however, on television if I get to see a little time because at that time I remember seeing Ninjago which caught my attention.

Ninjago is a program based on ninjas looking for their new member who will be the green Ninja, as well as handling their weapons and debating with the enemies that appear. This type of program attracts by keeping the Japanese and Chinese history, in terms of culture, respect and skills they have with martial arts, where the importance originates from the 4 weapons present that will give rise to the villain who will want to end the world and the ninjas must fight him and end the chaos he wants to originate.

It is dynamic and allows you to see a variety of scenarios, as well as dilemmas that must face or decisions that may affect what the villain is doing, especially I liked the quality of the story to know a little of the power, weapons and creation of worlds is interesting and violence that can originate does not affect or is exaggerated on the contrary is entertaining and very simple especially for the little ones, because certainly the story requires action, interactions something strong and well the development of the story leads to somewhat bloody events as could be seen in dragon ball but here is simpler, not appreciated that aggression so strong on the contrary is seen as two dolls fighting simple without encouraging violence which I think is excellent for children.

This type of cartoons and movies are essential for children especially when their content attracts certain features of violence, conflicts or talk of villains, as it allows a more dynamic and less discordant interaction. Nowadays, I have shown it to my son and he finds it more entertaining and he also learns a bit of Chinese and Japanese history in their martial arts or meanings of their weapons and ancestors, which is entertaining and educational at the same time, that helps in these times where most of the programs that are broadcast want to teach something but the violence or aggression that can be seen are so real that affect the mentality of minors is something that worries, so if I had lego rights I would continue making entertaining, educational and dynamic themes that can explain and in turn make a different moment in the visual part to each one, and content that can be appreciated by both children and adults.

Hola, un gusto estar por acá en este nuevo Concurso en este caso puedo decir que no he visto muchas películas o programas que contengan ese tipo de tema, sin embargo, en la televisión si llegue a ver una poco tiempo porque en ese momento recuerdo de a ver visto Ninjago el cual me llamo la atención.

Ninjago es un programa basado en ninjas que buscan a su nuevo integrante que será el Ninja verde, así como el manejar sus armas y debatir con los enemigos que aparecen. Este tipo de programa atrae por mantener la historia japonesa y china, en cuanto a la cultura, el respecto y las habilidades que tienen con las artes marciales, donde la importancia se origina a raíz de las 4 armas presentes que darán origen al villano que querrá acabar con el mundo y los ninjas deberán luchar contra él y terminar con el caos que quiere originar.

Es dinámico y te permite ver una variedad de escenarios, así como dilemas que deben afrontar o decisiones que pueden afectar lo que el villano está haciendo, sobre todo me gusto por la calidad de la historia poder saber un poco del poder, las armas y creaciones de mundos es interesante y la violencia que se pueda originar no afecta ni es exagerado al contrario es entretenido y muy simple sobre todo para los más pequeños, porque ciertamente la historia requiere acción, interacciones algo fuerte y bueno el desarrollo de la historia conlleva a eventos algo sangrientos como se podría apreciar en dragón ball pero acá es más sencillo, no se aprecia esa agresión tan fuerte al contrario se ve como dos muñecos que pelean sencillos sin incentivar a la violencia lo cual me parece excelente para los niños.

Este tipo de comiquitas y películas son las esenciales para los niños sobre todo cuando su contenido atrae ciertos rasgos de violencia, conflictos o habla de villanos, ya que permite una interacción más dinámica y menos discordante. Hoy en día a mi hijo se la he puesto y le llama mucho la atención la ve más entretenida y aunado a ella aprende un poco de la historia china y japonesa en sus artes marciales o significados de sus armas y ancestros, lo cual es entretenido y educativo a la vez, eso ayuda en estos momentos donde la mayoría de los programas que se emiten quieren enseñar algo pero la violencia o la agresiones que se pueden apreciar son tan reales que afectan la mentalidad de los menores es algo que preocupa, así que si tuviera derechos de lego seguiría haciendo temas entretenidos, educativos y dinámicos que puedan explicar y a su vez hacer un momento diferente en la parte visual a cada uno, y contenido que pueda apreciar tanto niños como adultos.

›Review Film: The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017)@film-trail2997d

Ninja is cool, so is mecha. When Lego, which in fact also favoured combine the two, the guarantee of success is obvious. Bore more than 100 sets and seven seasons of Lego Ninjago television series: The Masters of Spinjitzu is the real proof. Talk to the commercial side, widescreen adaptation as the third instalment of this lego film series feels like going to have the same fate. While the matter of quality, both The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie are both classy, especially thanks to the clever humour play the word, tucking popular culture, to a meta joke. Maintained by three directors plus six screenwriters, The Lego Ninjago Movie strives to imitate the achievements of its predecessors, That's what it looked like from the first minute when showing real people in the form of an antique shop owner (Jackie Chan) who told the story of the heroism of Lloyd Garmadon (Dave Franco) to a boy. Unless giving Chan a stage and implying a cat's involvement, the substance of this opening scene is questionable. After entering the animation world, the festivities immediately greeted the mecha of the sixth ninja, Lloyd, Kai (Michael Pena), Jay (Kumail Nanjiani), His (Abbi Jacobson), Cole (Fred Armisen) and Zane (Zach Woods) fought against Lord Garmadon's army (Justin Theroux).

Chaos and cringe similar but without equal power. Not just a familiar matter The Lego Batman Movie remains fresh but because the six authors copy the raw formula of previous film success, throw as many references as popular culture to the word game while hoping there is a target. The result is inconsistent. Occasionally there are clever jokes, although more mediocre material, clichés, nan predictable eg the phrase "it's a smash!" from Cole when his turn-destructive mecha destroys the enemy. The "quantity over quality" approach to comedic dresses negates the charm of The Lego Ninjago Movie, Visual still spoil the eye, including mecha design that tempts to spend deep to collect it. Unfortunately, the creativity of the entire team of directors and scriptwriters to address the characters and settings are composed of a stack of lego only limited to the basics like installing Garmadon's feet to the head of Master Wu (Jackie Chan). The rest, for the first time in its franchise, the lego-lego gleaming left wasted, limited to colourful ornaments. The wildest imagination actually appears when the original cat destroys the city as a result of laser beams. A funny and weird moment that rarely happens.

The portion of the drama still contains a message, this time around the identity and relationship of father and son. A condensed Star Wars reference to a child fighting against a father's crime involving a disconnected right hand, the dynamics of Lloyd-Garmadon reach the unique point of being so coerced together, putting aside the ego while reconnecting the bond between the two. But when Garmadon with all the confusion of duty as a father gives an interesting twist, Lloyd is not so difficult to steal the heart. Especially among the noisy mess of action, The Lego Ninjago Movie less time to take care of the complexity of the problem of the protagonist, But Lloyd was luckier than his fifth companion, where except for the cool forms of mecha, they looked similar to each other. Zane the robot is a quite prominent act, but talk personality, the fifth is difficult to distinguish, just perform at the centre of the adventure without doing anything significant. If The Lego Batman Movie is an alternative or parody version for Batman, The Lego Ninjago Movie is the same thing for ninja. So it should be until the film ends, and the ninja relies more heavily on mecha than his typical martial arts. Spinjitzu stance that involves the elements of each nature just a glance fill at the end of the duration without the impression.

›A Geeky Dad's Movie Guide to The LEGO Ninjago Movie (2017)@hanshotfirst3188d
I thought the first two LEGO movies were brilliant. I would have seen either of those movies even if I didn't have children. The LEGO Movie was a fun version of the hero's journey filled with laughs and heart. The LEGO Batman Movie was a fantastic comedic version of a usually very serious comic book character. I was pleasantly surprised that neither was the 90 minute long cash grab/toy commercial I thought it would be.

*How many things on this poster do you think will be made into toys?*
The LEGO Ninjago Movie did not continue this trend. Don't get me wrong, it is not a complete cash grab/toy commercial, but it is far closer to that than the previous two films (which were both surprisingly original).

My children have watched Ninjago on TV since it debuted in 2011. If they happen to have it on while I am in the room, I don't mind taking a peek. Sometimes its actually pretty funny. But the writers of the show definitely do not care about catering to adults. And that is ok. Sometimes kids need a little mindless fun that inspires them to build and play with their LEGO toys. The movie goes a step further in an attempt to be more than just three vapid TV episodes strung together... but it is still not great.

The first five minutes of the movie actually impressed me. The writers found a creative way to deal with the problem that this entire story has already been told during its six seasons on The Cartoon Network. The movie opens with a live action sequence involving a real child entering an unique store filled with Asian artifacts (similar to the one in Gremlins). The store is run by Jackie Chan (who also voices Sensei Wu). The store owner begins to tell the boy a story. He also tells the child that he (and the audience) must forget everything they already know (about the previous six seasons of the show). The rest of the movie is framed as if the boy is imagining the parable told by the wise store owner. The lesson of the parable is that it is OK to be different. It's a nice message... but sadly it doesn't really go anywhere. I never felt my kids were being taught anything by this movie.

*Right there! All of those kids out there! Those are the ones who will buy all of the toys advertised by this movie.*
After that opening sequence, the movie turns into a standard action movie with a teenager trying to defeat/redeem his evil father. ~~Luke~~ Lloyd desperately missed his childhood with his father and yearns to be reunited and accepted by ~~Darth Vader~~ Lord Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux).

Actually, that's it. That is nearly the whole story. Garmadon attacks the city. Lloyd and his friends try to protect it. Of course Lloyd eventually ends up having to work with his father and then... absolutely nothing original or shocking happens. I would have warned of a "spoiler alert" but there really is no way to spoil this. Every adult knows exactly what is going to happen in the movie.

This is definitely a kids movie. It is very formulaic and predictable. My own kids didn't even love it (and they seem to love everything). They thought it was "OK". After every movie, I always give them a one question test: "Do you think we should buy this when it comes out on DVD?" Both of my kids said that, although they were happy they saw it, they didn't care if they ever watched it again.

So there you go. Review over.

Perhaps that would be the case if there were no chance you'd have to take your kids. But it's a kids movie that has been advertised for months. Odds are, your kids want to go.

Therefore, I am going to approach the rest of this review a little differently. I was inspired by my wife's wisdom to try and help all of you. She was smart enough not to come with to this one.

The goal of the remainder of this review will be to help you decide if you, as parents, want to:

a. Go as an entire family. b. Rock-paper-scissors to see which of you has to go with the kids. c. Score some points with your spouse by taking the kids while he/she enjoys two hours to themselves. d. Get one of your nieces or nephews to take your kids while you stay home and clean the garage. e. Make your kids wait for DVD.

So, if you have to go, how much will you suffer?

Not that much.

At 90 minutes of actual runtime, the movie is fairly short. There is no "stinger" after the credits. Therefore, once the amusing cartoon dance number is over, you can immediately leave. The old school LEGO instruction-like animation during the credits is quite fun.

All of the animation is spectacular. I love the way the artists create the feeling of real LEGO figures and vehicles moving.

There is plenty of action. Although, that might be a double edged Katana (not sure if that is possible or redundant... but it was worth it). Because there is action almost every 5 minutes, there isn't much of a story.

There are lots of jokes. The writers cast a huge net. Some of them are bound to make you chuckle. There was one five minute sequence during which I simply could not stop laughing. That sequence combined with the fact that I got to watch it while sitting next to my kids, made it worth the $5.70 matinee price I paid.

If you get bored, you can always scan the backgrounds for Easter eggs. There are several references to other movies scattered throughout the film.

The director did some clever things with music. At certain points there are flute versions of popular songs.

If that isn't enough, at one point the villain operates a shark mech that fires live sharks out of a rocket launcher. It may be your only chance to see that.

If it were me, I'd stick with choice "c". The points I scored with my wife by giving her a couple of hours to do whatever she wanted was well worth sitting through this movie. The movie would have had to really suck if I'd rather spend my time cleaning the garage than watching it. It didn't suck that bad (few movies do).
