I have never watched a movie intended for children that felt so disjointed. Plot beats happened because the story writers felt they were supposed to happen. Not because they made sense.
Fun story: I paid to see this - and only got about 2 minutes in. The crowd was rowdy. I left and went to see "My Little Pony: The Movie" instead.
Better choice.
The plot itself isn't terrible - "What if the bad guy is your father? Every one knows it. But then you need his help, and maybe his training?", and for the first hour, that's 90% of what the movie focuses on...but it's not done in an interesting way. Or even a sensible one.
They want to throw the jokes at us that made "The Lego Movie" and "The Lego Batman Movie" so beloved. Most of them aren't funny. The only consistently funny characters are Zane (The Ice Robot Ninja) and Garmadon (The Bad Guy).
I will say that out of the Lego Movies, it looks the best. There's a lot less emphasis on outside elements (besides the cat) and more on enviroment design in a Lego style. It's Tokyo made out of Legos - and then jungle enviroments. It's pretty nice.
