I managed to rent a copy of the movie this weekend. Now that I've seen it (twice), I'm going to give some of my thoughts on the movie without giving away any spoilers.
Being one of the biggest Bionicle fans here, it shouldn't be so surprising that I like this movie just because it's Bionicle. Overall, I'd have to say this movie was even better than any of the previous three movies. One major factor in saying this were the combat scenes. Honestly, hand-to-hand combat is just more awesome than hurling elemental energies as seen in the previous movies. Some of the plot twists were also quite interesting (even though I had correctly guessed what many of them were before seeing the movie). I also loved the intro. The soundtrack was pretty awesome at many places.
I recently read some online reviews, and some of them say this movie is a little "kiddie". I'll admit, a few of the sound effects might make it seem that way, but hey, if I'm not calling the LBT movies too "kiddie" for me to watch, I'm definitely not going to let that be a reason to not watch this movie.
The cast was great. Many of the voices seemed well-suited to their characters, in my opinion. Although I liked many of the Glatorian (like Mata Nui, Ackar, Gresh, and Strakk), my favorite character would have to be Berix. I'll only go as far as saying that his role seemed to reflect that of an earlier Bionicle character (one of my favorites). Also, he provided great comedy relief.
