Lego Bionicle: The Journey to One

This is not the usual Lego movie. There is much religion. And mumbo-jumbo. And the animation is quite unfinished. Probably even the production team was unsure about this series, so the budget was cut accordingly. The only quality: the cartoons are colorful. And that is about it.

You know that movie you always wanted to see? Maybe you were a big fan of some superhero and your whole life you want to see a movie about that character. You think about it a lot and and have clear dreams for what you want it to be like. Then that dream finally comes to pass, your favorite superhero or cartoon is made into a movie and you watch it and it sucks.

This show is like that.

I always dreamed of seeing a cartoon about Bonkles. Which were my favorite toy growing up. It should lend itself well to cool animation and characters, with a surprisingly deep lore and relatable/fun/complex characters for kids to get to know.

This show is not that.

Tahu sucks. Kopaka sucks (which is especially lame because he was my favorite). Gali is okay. Lewa is okay. Onua is in this show. I think. Pohatu is... okay, I guess. The Antagonist sounds like he only knows how to talk through his nose (which is lame because he looks like a badass). The ending is Deus Ex Machina.

I was disappointed. Did like the art-style and animation, though. And there was one funny bit.

But, a little piece of me died when I watched this.
