I admit to not knowing much about the Lego spin off, Bionicle. I just know that it's a toy series made by Lego featuring different designs and working on having a big story. I can't help but be reminded of how awesome "The Lego Movie" was, because this can't hold a candle to it. It was weird how this set up all this new mythology in something that was originally just goofy and nonsensical. Now, I do appreciate what they tried to do with this movie. They're taking a story driven toy franchise and adapting it. The thing is, this movie comes off as so clichéd.
I couldn't remember any of the characters' names. To be fair, they are pretty hard to remember! It features these characters go on a journey to find a mask and they learn about themselves and destiny and sacrifice and stuff. I'm sorry, but it just seems like I've seen all of this before. While it's by no means an awful film, it might just be that I've seen so many movies that I see these tropes everywhere. I guess the CGI isn't bad. It does come off as too goofy sometimes. It's weird how what is technically the first Lego movie isn't all that good. Maybe the theatrically released film was too good for me. While the film wasn't offensive and mostly harmless, I think you can just skip this and watch the awesome Lego movie instead. **
