The Lego Ninjago Movie 2: An Unexpected Vacation

The Lego Ninjago Movie 2: An Unexpected Vacation is a 2021 animated movie directed by Mike Mitchell and Dan Lin and produced by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller.

Plot
Lloyd's once evil but now good father Garmadon plans a special vacation with his son. They go across the country while trying to defend themselves from an aggressive tax collector.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It does a very good job at being a perfect follow up to the first lego Ninjago movie.
 * 2) Lloyd and his father Lord Garmadon make a good father and son duo and their relationship makes it heartwarming.
 * 3) The city of Ninjago and the USA scenery are splendid to look at. In fact, over tons of Lego fans helped out work everything planned.
 * 4) Amazing soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer.
 * 5) Brilliant original songs like Young And Wild by The Strumbellas and Supposed To Be by Jack Johnson.
 * 6) The movie parody scenes are funny like the scene where Lloyd says hasta la vista baby to Sharon during the final battle.
 * 7) The poster for the film is very creative as it looks a lot like the poster to News of the World but with the characters on the right.
 * 8) The scene where Lloyd yells at his father and wishes that he didn't have a father in the first place and leaves him to have vacation on his own is very emotional.
 * 9) The voice acting is well done.
 * 10) Goodbye May Seem Forever from The Fox And The Hound makes an appearance in the film as one of the songs in the movie.
 * 11) Edward Norton does a good job as Lloyd's replacement voice actor.
 * 12) Every actor and actress from the first film return to voice their character besides Dave Franco.
 * 13) It's another one of Toonbox Entertainment's successful films alongside The Nut Job.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The fact that the film was distributed by Lionsgate is very questionable since Universal has a new deal with LEGO.
 * 2) Speaking of Lionsgate, the film was released alongside Fear of Rain and Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar, another one of their films from that company.
 * 3) There's only 2 action scenes in the film such as the battle involving Kai and the other ninjas versus Sharon Shatner and the final battle in the stock market.

Box Office
In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Judas And The Black Messiah, Wails For Freedom and select screenings of Fear Of Rain, and was initially projected to gross around $7-9 million from 2,046 theaters in its opening weekend. On it's first day, it made $5.9 million dollars. On it's 2nd weekend, the film made 15.8 million dollars.
