Christopher Miller's Lord Miller Productions, and Roy Lee's Vertigo
Entertainment, and was released in the United States on September 22,
2017 in 2D, 3D, and Dolby Cinema formats by Warner Bros. Pictures. It
received mixed reviews from critics. As it grossed $123.1 million
worldwide against its $70 million budget, the film was the franchise's
first box office disappointment.A young boy visits an old relic shop
where he meets the mysterious elderly owner Mr. Liu, who begins to
tell him the story of Ninjago, a city within the LEGO universe which
is frequently terrorized by the evil warlord Garmadon, who is the
father of teenager Lloyd Garmadon and estranged husband of Misako
(also known as Koko). Everybody in the city of Ninjago hates Lloyd for
being Garmadon's son, which puts Lloyd under emotional stress.
Unbeknownst to them, Lloyd is the Green Ninja and part of a secret
force of ninja warriors consisting of Nya, Zane, Jay, Cole, Kai and
their master named Wu, who always stop Garmadon from taking over
Ninjago City by fighting with mechs. When Garmadon is again
unsuccessful at conquering Ninjago, his tech division shows him a
giant new mech.Meanwhile, Lloyd and his friends see the return of
Master Wu, who tells them that they aren't real ninjas if they
continue using only mechs to fight and hints that what will truly
defeat Garmadon is their "unique element". He tells Lloyd that his
particular element is green, much to Lloyd's frustration, while the
other ninjas each have their own special elements: Jay has lightning,
Cole has earth, Zane has ice, Nya has water and Kai has fire. Wu also
mentions an "Ultimate Weapon", giving Lloyd new hope of defeating
Garmadon once and for all, despite Wu warning them that nobody can
ever use the device. The next day, Garmadon again attacks Ninjago City
with his giant mech and this time defeats Lloyd. As Garmadon
arrogantly gloats over his conquering of the city, Lloyd returns with
the Ultimate Weapon and fires it, only to reveal that it is really a
laser pointer that attracts a live-action cat named Meowthra. Garmadon
points the laser at the ninja's mechs which the cat destroys, but
Lloyd breaks the laser pointer. As Garmadon celebrates his victory,
Lloyd unmasks himself and tells Garmadon that he wishes he wasn't his
father, leaving Garmadon confused.
