Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows (2005)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Simply A Masterpiece

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is the 3rd installment to a LEGO advertisement series. This should be... interesting? So Bionicle 3 is about the toa who return to the island where they defeated Makuta so that they could find and save the remaining toa stuck on the island. But the place is taken over by Visorak and they need to stop them.Characters - The characters are pretty cool looking but the voice actors can stew them up sometimes. Some of the voices are pretty annoying. But overall the characters are OK but they look cool so everything is alright, barely.Animation - The animation in this movie is actually pretty awesome. It's cool because how they animate the mind of makes them look not like LEGO. Sometimes the animation looks sloppy like they rushed it so that was a bit of a problem but it's a TV movie, they're not going to do a whole lot to it.Action Sequences - I thought the action scenes in this movie were pretty cool for a is movie. I mean this was one of my childhood movies and I loved it so kids will overall love everything about the movie.The Deep Stuff - The movie thought-out is kind of boring especially if your an adult. But towards the end the movie gets pretty awesome. There's is one part which I did not expect but it was a pretty memorable moment. It was like kind of a sad scene but it had a lesson in it.Pros -Awesome Animtion Entertaining Action Sequences Memorable MoralCons -Feels too Rushed OK Script WritingOverall - Overall this movie is a great family movie, it's better than 1 and 2 barely. It can sometimes seem stupid and rushed but that's because it's a kids movie. O do have to say though that the script that was made in this movie is pretty bad. It's not terrible but it's kind of stupid but it wasn't a big problem I just wanted to point that out. So I am giving Bionicle barely a 7/10 because it is a very enjoyable movie. I personally thought this movie was pretty good. (B+)

As a completely nutty Bionicle fan who has managed to collect all the comics and most of the products as well as being a true member of the Kanoka club, I was looking forward to seeing the only Bionicle film I had not yet viewed. Of course, I already knew the plot line through reading the comics and the story's but nevertheless thanks to Greg Farshteys imaginative brain this still managed to dazzle me. When you've got a theme like Bionicle, and they make a straighttovideo film , the chances are your parents are not going to rate this film highly. But I think that these 3 films are completely underrated in that the animation is sweetly edited and the story lines are superb. Bionicle 3:web of shadows is the most popular of the Bionicle films in that it uses the greatest bionicle adventures theme as a storyline and that it's animation manages to capture an atmosphere so eerie it could even surpass the PG ratings. Bionicle 2 is still the best crafted film in terms of editing and the mask of lights is the most "fun" but this one contains the best storyline in my opinion.As for me, I can't wait for Bionicle 4 to come out as it should involve the immense Piraka and the beautiful Voya Nui and the Bionicle Legends in my opinion is the best. Can't wait for that and overall good film. The Visorak rock! The Toa Hordika Rock! Roodaka does not rock!

Here it is, another fabulous movie of the Bionicle Series. The animation is fantastic, the characters admirable in different ways - a pleasure to watch again and again! The one thing I love about this movie, and all the Bionicle movies, is that they always come out with a cool story line, never repeated with the other movies. It's always original.I love how it stays true to the books, and how it always stays close to the 'good over evil' back-bone story line. It's great for kids, but I'm a teenager and I love all the Bionicle movies! It's suitable for all ages, so why not just see it - it won't let you down.

Bionicle Mask of Light, Bionicle2 Legends of Metru Nui, and now Bionicle Web of Shadows. This third one wasn't as good as the second, but certainly was better than the first. When the movie begins it seems like another Bionicle movie, but this time we have some flashback scenes on top of the moving rocks part. This confused me at first, since the last two movies had begun with only the rocks. The movie starts before the very end of the second and Makuta's defeat. This can be quite a bad start for someone who hasn't seen the prequel. Plus there is no explanation this time of what are matoran, rahi are no longer referred to as Rahi-beast which gives no clue to what rahi are. After the somewhat odd start, it seems like the movie (differently than the others) keeps the story stuck to what the books say. The new character design though is much better, although Bionicle 2 showed Vakama's feelings, none of them showed the whole Vakama, the dark side was never seen. In this movie we see Vakama's bad, and good side. Now, comparing the villains in this new movie with the rest I must say that Roodaka is much badder than Makuta, and the vishorak are a greater threat than Nhidiki, Krekka, and the Rhakshis. What makes this movie not as good as its prequel is that not much happens, the whole thing is or too slow or too fast. The movie ends with one big question mark: The Toa are taking the matoran to safety because Metru nui is not safe because Makuta might be awake, but they know it's awake and might follow them... why not just add some minutes to the film and capture Makuta all over again? Contrary to what my comments may express I thing Bionicle3 is an excellent movie, and fits in perfectly with the story. I hope there's a fourth one, and that in that one he Toa Metru and Nuva both go back to Metru Nui, like the books say.
