Brilliant and touching
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreWhen I was 6, (in 2007, Toa Mahri saga) I was in the hospital with a deadly case of asthma, Then, they had more than 40 movies, I found this one, and the whole month I was there, it would be the only thing I'd watch, I take a look back at it now, not that good, but it helped me through my asthma, and got me out of there, There's something about this movie... The movie is about 2 Matoran, Jaller and Gukko(Takua) Adventuring to find the 7th Toa: Takanuva, Toa of light. It's a great movie with a plot somewhat similar to Lord of the Rings. I don't like Lord of the Rings, very long and boring, but there's something about this movie that engages me. I like it. The Animation doesn't look that great and the Toa don't look like their actual product toy. The Toa seem a little bit too tall, let's see if I can pinpoint what's wrong... I think the legs may be too thin, and the arms too thin, also, the torso's aren't exactly the shape they should be. Lets just say, This movie isn't great, but it's great, if that makes any sense.
... View MoreNow, I loved Bionicles while I was growing up. Building and playing with them were one of my favorite past-times, so of course my little 7-year old self watched this movie on repeat while playing with the toys that were in the movie.Now I'm 19 years old and watching this movie I have to say. This movie sucks.This movie has NOT aged well. In fact this movie is bad enough to the point where if I had a time machine, I would go back in time and smack myself around for watching this stupid, stupid movie.So let's start off with one major problem. The characters. No matter how you look at it there is not one character who gives a memorable performance or even one that is mediocre. They all feel very archetypal and mundane. The Toas all feel flat, Jalah and Tekuah (or however the hell you spell their names) have voices and actions that make you either want to beat your head against a wall or strangle something nearby.Not to mention the boy who becomes the Toa of Light... is unworthy. If anything Jalah is more deserving of the title, he didn't falter and give up in his quest, he sacrificed EVERYTHING for his friend, and even paid with his life at one point (before they pulled a deus ex machina and brought him back) to save someone. What did Tekuah, the Toa of Light do? Beat Makuta in a game.That's it. Truly a hero to go down in the history books.The animation is sub par at best. The characters look accurate to their toys but they move about awkwardly and not as freely as they should. The constant use of slow-motion is an eyesore and gets old QUICK, and the battle scenes leave something to be desired. All the fights feel anti-climactic and like they have 20 minutes of better fighting footage but don't use it for God knows what reason.It's a shameless plug to sell more toys. But even that's not an excuse for this poor excuse for a film. We saw the same thing with Ninja Turtles and Transformers, but those at the very least had likable characters with an increasingly interesting storyline, especially with the films. This? This is just bad. And I mean BAD.So please. Play with some Bionicles if you want to have some fun, they're really cool. But for the love of everything that is holy don't watch this movie. It's really, really bad.
... View MoreThis movie is a twist between Lord of the Rings and Warriors of Virtue. The concepts are similar, yet this movie has it's own uniqueness as well. I enjoyed it, though it seemed to not take its time toward the end. 7.8 out of 10.
... View MoreNot a terrible film -- my 10 year old boy loved it, and he would be the target demographic, so I guess they hit the spot. Pretty dull for an adult though.Hard to relate to animated lego characters, even mod high-tech ones.I thought the choice of the three great virtues of the Bionicle world was a bit odd -- unity, duty, and destiny. Am I the only one who thinks those sound just a bit fascistic? Especially destiny. What about freedom, equality, justice, etc.?Oh well, it will sell Lego. Kind of dull for a movie, but not bad for a 74-minute advertisement. Could have been a lot worse.
