Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu

I love the Ninjago series, because it has so many different factors that work in its favour: the characters are unique and relatable, the plots are exciting and engaging, the script can be funny at times, and the graphics are pretty good. My favourite thing about the series is how it immerses you in the world of Lego Ninjago, and you feel yourself drawn into it so that you want to watch more and see how it develops. I recommend it for kids and adults alike!

As a kid, I used to watch this show a lot. I stopped after it was originally supposed to end but I gave it a second chance recently for nostalgia sake and rewatched the pilot and first 2 seasons. Everything after that was completely foreign to me. I thought the first few seasons were great, but the seasons after that were phenomenal. I originally thought that the show would lose its touch, but in my opinion the seasons got even more complex and entertaining. I really enjoyed how dark it got in the later seasons and how you could forget that it's a show about Lego people due to the amazing character development. Overall I love this show because of its humor (even though at times it could be better) and that it's self aware and doesn't always take itself too seriously. I would recommend that anyone, kids or adults give this show a chance! It's way better than it sounds!

My kids started watching this and I found myself getting sucked in. The characters and plot have a depth to them that even an adult can enjoy. Great show!

This is is truly amazing. The characters are great, the writing is great, the music is great. Everything about this show is awesome! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Lego. The show is set in the fictional world of Ninjago, a place inspired by Chinese and Japanese myths and culture. It appears in the series as a large sprawling land most like the island chain of Japan, with different areas being home to various animals and plants, including Dragons and mystical snakes (like the Great Devourer). It has an underworld, where beings of evil like Lord Garmadon and the Skeleton Army dwell, together with sacred places where many things are hidden or forgotten (like the Serpentine tombs or the Golden Weapons). Similar to Lego's past product line Bionicle, the main characters are in tune with certain elemental properties (the elements in this case being Fire, Ice, Lightning and Earth.) Also, the world seems to have a more modern setting than previous 'Ninja' series, as shown by the appearance of large skyscraper cities, various vehicles, video games and exo-suits. Again I love this show and can't wait for the next season to premier in early 2014!

This show is awesome! I know, people always say: "but it's LEGO, it can't be good, it's just a big commercial" well, let me tell you something, they're wrong! It is actually an amazing show! It also appeals to many teenagers and adults as well, not just little kids! Now lets get down to the review, acting first.

The voice acting in this show is VERY decent for a kids show. They get pretty good voice actors. (Vincent Tong, Kirby Morrow, Andrew Francis etc,) Some of the voice actors in this show are also from other very good shows, such as My Little Pony: Freindship Is Magic. I would rate the voice acting a 9/10.

Now we will be talking about story. The storyline for this show started off very simple, but then later grew bigger and more impressive. The shows original story was The First Spinjitzu Master created four golden weapons for the different elements: Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice. Then, the evil lord garmadon tried to take the golden weapons and the spinjitzu masters son, sensei Wu, had to gather four ninja to stop him. Sort of weak but later in the 4 & 5 seasons it some what expanded. I would rate the story a 6/10.

The music in this show is Excellent! It ranges from ancient sounding music to tech- sounding music. It has wonderful tunes with a lot of time and effort put into them. I would rate the music a 10/10.

Now it is time for the script. It has a very funny and cute script that makes me laugh, also has some heartfelt lines in there, maybe a few corny ones thrown in there. I would rate it a 8/10

I'm going to talk a little bit about the seasons, which includes some very personnel opinions, if you don't need to see it then skip ahead to the end.

My favourite season was the 5 one, "Possesion", it had a intriguing plot, awesome characters, and great humor, but I am also extremely fond of season 1 "Rise of the Snakes" because it is what got me into Ninjago, and season 4 "Tournement of Elements" because it just had a really "Ninjago Feeling" to it, and the characters and villains were amazing. The 2 & 3 seasons were good, but I think that they relied to much on action and cool vehicles, not as much humor, story, and character development. I'm giving it a 7/10 for the seasons and their layouts in general.

So that is my overall opinion on LEGO Ninjago! I think this show deserves a 9, especially compared to other new kids shows. Ninja-GO!
