So you've waited for LEGO's first movie since it was first announced a year and a half ago. You've bought the toys, read BZP, collected the comics, played the online games. Now here it is, the moment of truth: is BIONICLE: Mask of Light stellar or a stinker?
Please post your comments, questions, or feedback about this story here. -------------------- |

From what I've read, Mask of Light should be very interesting and fun to watch! Lord Scellor the Great, I think it is a Rahkshi that has its arm out of the ice.

Nice review!
I hope what they say about Kopaka is true. I don't want to be dissapointed as much as my brother may be ... i dunno. (I hope lewa rocks! I kinda like him talking the le-korian slang  What did they mean "Irish" though?  )

Great review, Bink! Though, why is it that we never hear anything from Lewa, except that he's been kraata'd, or krana'd or something like that?

Ahhhh, a spoiler-free review. Just what I wanted! It looks even cooler than I imagined! Great review Bink! (Although I'd have to say I thought it might get a little better than a B+.)

Nice review! That was awesome! The best picture there was where the rahkshi is reaching out of the ice, like in some horror movie. That looks awesome. Keep up the good work bink!

Alright Bink, this has to be the best review I've seen yet! But I'd have to say with all that only you have stated, I'd give it a A+!
 The animation looks great and if the music is just like in the MNOLG(1 and 2) then it should be great. And I'm hoping that the voices aren't that bad, mostly because I've heard that they aren't the best... I guess I'll just have to wait 8 more days till I finally have it, oh well  , no biggy.And once again, great review Bink!   -------------------- ___________  THE MUST CLICKS: The New Member Q/A - The Reference Desk - Signature Guidelines - The BZPower Lexicon !!

This might be off topic but...

In the Bionicle Guide it pronounces Jaller as "Jala," too! Strange, isn't it? Hmm, the pronounciation of the things that got their names changed didn't change, so I guess Jaller's pronounciation won't either. Anyways, a great review, and from what I have read in the novelization, I think it will appeal to all ages of fans! -

Cool review! That has got to be one of the best movies coming out this year. I wonder what Hahlii was doing in that one picture. It looks like she is thinking about somthing Jaller said to her. And I think that is a Rahkshi sticking it's hand out of the ice, because its fingers had small points on them.
It sounds like Lewa's voice should be prettygood, considering that he is using his well known treespeak. Also, Kopaka is my 2nd favorite Toa, so I should like it pretty well. Anyway, thanks for the review! -Compka |

WOW! Great job. I can't wait! Oh man oh man, Im full of all those images,
Image one: Kinda boreing, weve seen it before, dosen't make my head spin. Image Two: Also old but in such high quility I haven't seen before, it looks more like water than ever now. Image three: O, yuck, also old. Image four: Takua! YOur late! Wow, there are a whole lot more Ga matorans than in the game. Image five: OK, someone is burried in ice, is it kopaka?  Or Kuhrahk? SO confused.Image six: I will give you my version of what Hollee is saying, "Jaller, how could you leave me? Especialy at a time like this? It's our aniversary! You'l be hurt!"-Hollee "No, I won't. I have to go, if I don't it will fail!"-Jaller "  Fine, Hrump, I will just find you."I wonder why Hollee dosen't have her Sactle?(sp?) Well That's all I have, KG -------------------- CRAZY! ................................................................... Sane.

Must... have... MoL DVD... Talk about a review! Not only do we find out that the movie kicks, we also learn that it will satisfy our critical, long-time-Bionicle-infested minds. Oooh... More images...

NNNOOO, I think its kopaka becuase I spy with my little eye a shiled on the ground. And I think takua is suprized to see kopaka alive. But another 8 days and we will find out. And speaking of kopaka getting the most spotlight...YYYYYYAAAHHHHOOOO!!!!!!!! GO KOPAKA! GO KOPAKA! Ok, maby I should'nt have done that. BTW...Ive heard some of the voices off of X review. And I cant say all of them are good or fit them. Mr James out... This post has been edited by Mr. J: Sep 8 2003, 08:36 AM -------------------- Your ship. Your crew.

Just the way Lewa speaks, it was very reminiscent of a cool Irish brogue (accent). If I had to give this a 1-10 rating, I'd say 8.5, which is a B+ in grading terms. If the movie were shooting for one type of audience (say, Bionicle fans) then it'd fall short because there's not enough backstory in it. But if it were just for non-fans, then it'd be a little too full of jargon. Since it's aimed at both, it makes the grade on both, but isn't a 100% on either. See what I mean? - Bink -------------------- |

Are you saying Lewa's going to have an Irish Accent? (j/k) During school today I showed some one that picture of the hand sticking out of the ice and she laughed. A little later on at lunch, I was looking at the picutre and she pulled my hair supirising me! I though I was getting dragged down by a Gurrahk! I think it's funny that Takua uses Kopaka's shield as a boat! I was laughing and Laughing!

Wow, great review Binky! I'm really looking forwards to this movie even more now!
Today, I was talking to best friend (who doesn't like Bionicle) about Mask of Light simply because I wanted to talk about it to someone. Anyway, he says that after I've watched it, he wanted to know if he could borrow it. I was a bit worried because I thought he wouldn't like it and that he would tell me I have bad taste (something he often does). But now Bink, thanks to you, All my worries have been washed away! Oh man, strange image in my head now... Binkmeister, the Good Samaritan...

I like the review. It was good. I think I will purchase, or at least rent the movie. About the game, I went to a site called Gamespot.com were you can see screen shots from the game
