DVD Reviews of Bionicle 2 - Legends of Metru Nui
DVD Review: Better than the first, 3 Stars
OK, Bionicle fans, skip this review, since this is for people who wonder whether this is really as good as these Bionicle fans say.Well, my sad answer is: It's NOT. It IS, however, FAR better than the previous (hideous) film--although there was really nowhere to go but up.
Pros: There are actually a couple of characters I LIKED in this movie, and some scenes DO actually WORK (a major improvement over the last movie).
Cons: The REST of the characters and scenes either make no sense or are just annoying. And "The Great Spirit" is so fake-o-politically-correctly-pseudo-religious that it isn't even funny. It's just CHEESY!
A lot of things didn't make any sense whatsoever. Like, the "Sea of Protodermis". What was that!? Nobody bothers to explain that it ISN'T just water that they're sailing and swimming through. I was only able to discover that Protodermis is their building material and was being researched and refined, because I looked on and in the box and was FINALLY able to infer what it was. But you should be able to understand a movie ON IT'S OWN!!! WITHOUT having to read and study and research.
Not even the fight scenes worked. Why on earth would you have to turn visible to fire a disk launcher? And when did Vakama combine the other disks? On his coffee break!? And what were they carrying their extra items in ANYway? And the Toa powers were SO unbalanced. ONE Toa (the most annoying one, to boot) gets not only two mask powers, but he gets THE BEST ONES! FLYING AND SHAPESHIFTING!? How is that fair? All Vakama gets is invisibility! Even the names are a bit shaky. I mean, come on--Onewa vs. Onua?! And the names "VAkama" and "NOkama" are too similar!
The only scenes that DID work were:
The one where Vakama and Nokama were talking in the back of that storage-vehicle-thing, and--
The other ones with Nokama actually sort of worked, too. Mostly.
These scenes were an improvement, but not enough to save the REST of the movie.
And everyone keeps saying how great the animation is! That bugs me. A LOT. The animation is--well, I won't go so far as to say "hideous', since the kikanalo were actually sort of animated well, and the backgrounds were pretty cool. But the moving, living characters? The sheer horror...... I don't know, maybe they were TRYING to make them move like the toys. Since THAT'S what they were like. EVEN STANDING STILL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! If their aim was to make them like people, then they failed miserably. They're akward and toy-like and just not fun to look at. I could go on for hours with all the problems they had.
In short, if you love Bionicle and know everything about it, this movie's for you. You might even understand some of it.
For the average viewer, you might want to skip it. Although it IS better than the first one.
