Movie Reviews of Bionicle - Mask Of Light
Movie Review: aimed more towards diehard bionicle fans
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this movie but I think it could be very confusing to watchers who havent become immersed in the bionicle universe throught toys,comics or chapter books. Im not saying it is impossible to watch without knowledge of bionicle but none of the characters,places or even humor is introduced to us. Yes there is a one minute intro to the birth of the island setting but by the time of this film thats ancient history. I used to read the comics and when the film was first released I really understood but when I watched it a few days ago I had to think about some one of the most obvious inside jokes. However I have been talking too much about what is confusing ill talk about what is understandable. It is the story of an epic quest to find a seventh toa(toas are the guardians of the island) and that is pretty much it in a nutshell. I dont want to give away the ending but lets just say it will suprise you. And on another note some may say this film is a bit kiddy but me myself being 12 find that its not too immature for me (especially not for some nerdier kids I know). So if you're into bionicle get it if you have a quick mind that can take a lot of information get it if you like a big adventure film like lord of the rings get it and if you like 3d animation get it(in this film the computer animation is top notch. Otherwise dont get the film its not all that great.Movie Review: Surprisingly good
Summary: 3 Stars
Let's face it, this is a product tie-in movie. In addition, it is a straight-to-video movie, so let's just say my expectations were looooow. Pokemon Low. I expected "My Little Pony meets Lion King 2"-level quality. But the movie is actually coherent, thoughtful, moral, quasi-religious, and suspenseful. Maybe my low expectations had me disarmed, but it was genuinely not torturous to watch. The two children I watched it with, 6 and 8 years old (and both girls!), were mesmerized by it, and had to watch it again immediately. About 2/3 of the way through the first viewing, I thought, wow, this is actually pretty good. Then one of the girls exclaimed, "This is REALLY GOOD!" For this type of movie, what more can one hope for?
I give it 3 stars because, I mean, it ain't exactly Kurosawa or Hawks or anything. This is hardly One For The Ages. But for an entertaining evening with children and adults both watching the same thing, enjoying it, and discussing it afterward, this movie is exactly what you want.
Movie Review: Bionicle - Mask of Light
Summary: 3 Stars
This film, is definitely for Bionicle fans only, and I, being one enjoyed it.
If you are not a Bionicle fan, be warned, it will be nearly unwatchable, the scrpit was not all too great, the visuals were a bit choppy. The story of the film itself is decent, but it will not be understood if you are not a Bionicle fan.
Bionicle fans will be pleased, as long as they aren't expecting theatrical quality. The story keeps true to the storylines previous, and you may find it above expectation.
The only fantastic thing about this movie is the soundtrack, it literally compares to that of Star Wars, it's intense! It has a great main theme, along with awesome later tracks. They really should release a soundtrack.
5/10
Movie Review: Not what I had In 2 Stars
Let's get one thing straight. I loved bionicle legos and when i first heard of this movie, i was hyped up to buy it. but when i saw it, i was really disappointed. let's see how this movie is:VOICES
the voices are really cheesy. They don't fit the bionicles at all. I'd rather have no voices than any!
PLOT
Okay, they totally missed out on the original bionicles. They only focussed on the second bionicle design which is
THE MUSIC
I have not much to say, but this music
OVERALL
this movie would of gotten a one star if the plot was bad nothing relating to the stories in the magazines or website. However, the plot was okay following a bit at the comics and websites. so this somewhat a "ok" movie. just be warned.
Movie Review: Mindless and Nonsensical, but Well Done
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm at a loss to explain the 5 star ratings this film got. It literally has no plot. Tons and tons of expository dialogue to explain the "mythology" (so that your 5 year old feels justified in demanding that you buy all the "characters") and "glory shots" of things getting blown up and characters running and screaming. But it has so much jargon that if you're not already familiar with the characters, the plot will make no sense. My son's Dad and I have watched it with my 6yo son (who admittedly loves it even though he can't explain what it's about either) and we still can't discern an actual plot. Harmless fluff, I guess, but my money would have been much better spent on other, much better videos.
