Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu

I remeber watching this when i was a kid and i started watching this again because i wanted nostalgia. Currently on season 1 btw. But i really recomend you to watch it. Yes, it's for kids but it's really well written compared to other kid movies/series. Season one is a bit boring but to understand everything you bred to watch it. So go and watch it!

This is one of my favourite TV shows. it is a great family friendly show for all ages. and don't believe the people who say it sucks, because it is amazing. so I give it a nine star rating because it is funny, action packed, full of adventure, and just because it is a great show. this is one of my favourite LEGO TV show/movie. but I'm just going to warn you, if you start watching this show, you might not be able to stop! so I would recommend watching it!

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!

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!

So far, we've been surprised by how well done this series is. Being a toy-selling series, we honestly were expecting the kind of shows we saw advertising toys when we were young: pointless, poorly written, and cheesy beyond belief. As adults, we actually ENJOY watching this series, and seeing what happens! Since it is geared to children (I would say about ages 8- 12), some of the plot "twists" are actually fairly obvious for an adult, but still interesting.

The ideas about devotion, loyalty, and accepting differences have also been really useful in our household, where we have been able to have effective discussions about autism, disability, and ability based on these characters and their adventures. We have also been able to discuss social interactions and ways to think about others in ways that can be hard to broach with this middle-elementary age: that people who seem to be friends may not be, that bullies have their own issues, and ideas of including others and finding your own talents when others don't include you. There are lots of other good, complex issues of relationships presented here, in terms this age group can grasp and see.

We actually find ourselves wishing there were MORE toys associated with this series, not less. And unfortunately, many of the figures are exclusively available through the larger, very expensive Lego sets (do keep in mind this series is intended to sell you toys!)
