Sorry, this movie sucks

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

When 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.

As a true Bionicle fan who prefers the newer style of writing in the bionicle saga, it was great to watch my younger brothers Bionicles:Mask of light film again as it brought back sweet memories. But as sweet as those memories maybe, now I am older I can truly understand the complexity of the amazing storyline that Greg Farshtey,( author of the bionicle books and comics) managed to craft together here. It is ashame that the complexity of the storyline is halted by some rather poorly directed scenes which involve Takua and Jaller(yet to be Toa Inika/Mahri)just aimlessly searching for the7th toa when Takua is thee 7th toa! Yes, I agree, this is the most kiddiest and most "fun" of the bionicle movies because at that time the directors didn't expect adults to enjoy bionicles just as much as children do. This film is great in terms of a nice style of animation which improves throughout the films and lots of great locations to ponder on in the great island of Mata Nui as well as the brilliant storyline and imaginative characters. What also stuns me about this film is the vibrant colours and sounds which make it so fun and wonderful too watch. However, every good has its bad, and there are just as much bads in this film as goods. For instance, the rahkshi are horribly wrong and look completely different from the toys and the voice acting is so annoying! Plus the ending goes on too long and the director just hasn't made it interesting enough with not enough action and too much just standing there doing nothing pointless scenes. The Toa Nuva aren't in it enough and Takua is too annoying for a 7th toa so I was glad when he didn't appear in future bionicle storeys. Now as I finish these comments I am left to ponder on the annoying drone of "Takua! Takua!"

Before I saw this, I thought it wouldn't matter much if I didn't know the characters beforehand. I was wrong. I could barely follow the story, which annoyed me, since it was so simple that it hurts. The plot is OK, but unless you're a fan of Bionicle, you won't really care about it; it spends too little time telling us who these characters are, or giving us reasons to like them, or care for them. I realize that this is a children's movie, but it should have been better; most Disney movies give you characters to care about. The acting varied from decent to very bad. The characters were OK, but too many of them seemed to be there just for the sake of comic relief(on a side-note, why did one of the Toa's talk like Yoda?). The CGI is mostly OK, but at times it descends into mediocrity. Something I found repetitively annoying was how the animators kept trying to give these characters with barely any facial features at all emotion; it just doesn't work, when the eyes are lights and the face is a metal surface. Light and metal can't convey emotions like human actors can. They should have realized that, and put more action in it instead. With all that said, the action was the most entertaining thing in this movie, especially the fight at the end. Apart from that, this movie has very little to offer to non-fans of Bionicle, and if you get around to watching this, you'll be happy that it's only 70 minutes, because you won't be able to sit through any more of it when it's done. 5/10

At the behest of my kids, I have watched this film over and over, probably at least 100 times. It is one of the few of their favorites that has not gotten irritating after dozens of viewings. The story arc includes classic struggles and familiar archetypes, the animation is great, and the dialog is engaging.
