Bionicle: The Legend Reborn Review
The story begins where the original comics end: MataNui, a god to his people, has been cast out of his own enormous body by his traitorous brother, Makuta Teridax (though the film never mentions his name). Trapped within the legendary Mask of Life, MataNui (voiced wonderfully by Michael Dorn) is banished to the depths of space, only to crashland on the (not-actually-so-distant) desert planet of BaraMagna. Once he awakens and the Mask forms for him an all-new body, he quickly meets many new friends and foes alike.
Ackar (Jim Cummings) is an older, highly experienced Glatorian, a race of mighty warriors employed as mercenaries and combatants. After his life is saved by a golden-armored new-comer in the arena, the two team up with other Glatorian, Kiina and Gresh, as well as the collector Barix, in a quest to save Bara Magna from the Bone Hunters and Skrall, and help Mata Nui to return to his homeworld to save his people from the tyrannical rule of the Makuta.
1 point off for the horribly-animated water in the very beginning, and another for the still-thriving island of Mata Nui, which in the comics was left a barren wasteland devoid of any signs of life (this was necessary to awaken the being MataNui).
I won't spoil any major plot points, but the 1.25 hour movie does end on a cliffhanger, leaving plenty of room for at least one sequal.
Action is in no short supply, acting is solid, and plot is plentiful in this latest installment of the BIONICLE storyline, and I personally can't wait to see what happens to our newest heroes as their journey continues.

Very Impressed - Tap Tap -
I ordered the movie for my children and they think it is the best thing they own right now. I am very impressed with how quickly the company responded to my order and how quickly I received it. I didn't really expect it to be at my house in 3 days but it was. The only thing I didn't really like was that I wasn't able to track the shipping.
Not as good as expected - SunnyAZ - Arizona
My children just love Lego Bionicles and they watch the Bionicle videos over and over so of course, we eagerly awaited to get The Legend Reborn to add it to our collection. Too be honest, it was very short and both my boys(age 6 & 9) were disappointed. The story did hold their attention to get through it once, but it definitely did not hold a candle to the 1st three Bionicle videos. Plus,they have never asked to see it again. I would suggest renting it or borrowing it unless you are a die hard fan and must have it for your collection.
The story continues......... - S. B. - Elyria, Ohio
This is the fourth movie in the series.
It continues the story of the Bionicle's and my son loves it.
No true Bionicle fan will be disappointed.
Grand Kids Loved it! - P. Calloway -
I bought this movie for my Grand kids and they loved it! They said that I would enjoy it during their next sleep over.
