I've always thought that Vakama was always the wise leader but then I realized that he wasn't like that when he was in his youth: he was impatient, rushing, and always find the easy way out to solve problems. He must have felt pressured as leader. Fortunately he met someone who taught how to deal with his insecurities

[@patricklenigan4309]

Funny you should mention his old insecurities. In fact, I believe that is why Vakama kept being picked out of the group in legends of Metru Nui and Web of Shadows...because of the insecurities.

[@NLoett]

I know this comment is two years old, but I'm feeling compelled to reply. There are two books that follow the Toa Metru from after Legends of Metru Nui and before the events of Web of Shadows. The second of these books really show him turning into more of a brash and hot-headed leader, but it also tells us why. Mainly, he was mad at himself. He had failed to rescue the Matoran in time and he really blamed himself for Lhikan's death. He figured he had failed because he wasn't as strong a leader as he should've been, that he should have been more decisive and confident. As we can see in the beginning of the film, he overcompensated. The Hordika venom most certainly didn't help either. Hence, we can see why he was so easily turned by Roodaka. I'll admit, I was annoyed with Vakama in this film when I was a kid, but looking back as an adult I can understand a bit better. He was a toa for maybe a week before his entire universe was basically (and almost literally) turned upside-down. Everyone he had ever known except for five strangers were stuck in comas, his home had been destroyed, and his hero died right in front of him. If you don't develop some issues from all of that, there might actually be something wrong with you.

The opening of this movie has one of my personal favorite pieces of original score of all time. Admittedly, it isn't as great without context of the prior 2 films. But with full context, you can listen to the score on it's own, and get a complete grasp on exactly what is going on. Nathan Furst is such an underrated musician, and I'm gutted that he doesn't get to work on more major films. He establishes such a clear vision of the heroes and villains with their respective musical motifs. The big thumping villainous thuds. The bright and calm village themes. The triumphant recurring theme of the Toa, and the brooding Makuta theme. His work on these movies, to me, genuinely stands up there along side stuff like the Star Wars movies. Which sounds crazy to say, but I genuinely feel that way. For as much as these movies are a relic of their time, and aren't anything special. The music is absolutely phenomenal.

You know i saw this as a kid like everyone else here, had a crush on Roo like everyone here, but right now all i can think about is how underrated Sidorak really is. i love the way the voice actor portrayed him, i love his movie design a lot, and really wish we could've gotten a custom "Ram head" for his model.

[@2goodsharks]

Honestly I feel really bad for the Visorak. Sure, they're portrayed as terrifying creatures with their dripping venom and woodchipper faces, but they're living in perpetual fear of their leaders to the point where it drives their every action. They're often shown to be shaking just by being in Roodaka's presence, and when she commands the Boggarak to jump off, they demonstrated their belief that death would be better than whatever Roodaka's punishment for disobedience would be. The books and comics go further, showing Roodaka killing them just for carrying news that didn't agree with her, and a Roporak even once thought to itself how nice it would be to endlessly sleep like the Matoran just to be free of its fear of Roodaka before it banished the thought out of fear of its mind being read. The most satisfying part of the movie for me was when Vakama ordered them to be free, and they just all turned and left without a backwards glance. They may still be a threatening species even once freed, but it's better for them not to be enslaved to Roodaka and Sidorak. Also the janitor deserves a medal.

[@artloverivy]

Richard The Parachute Ninja Just because they’re made for a younger audience doesn’t mean they can’t be great. Plenty of films like Lion King and Toy Story are meant for children but are still considered great films because of their amazing storytelling and themes. Now it’s up to you if these films are as good as other animated classics, but I truly believe their stories and themes are on par. I just believe they are held back and under appreciated because they’re based on toys.

[@Krautboy02]

These movies are an insult to Bionicle and For Lego! Do not Understand Me Wrong the story of bioncile is in itself Great the cinematic adaptation is horrible! The Toa do not look like the toy at all and the plot is poorly written and full of mistakes. The Netflix series was the only good Bionicle adaptation, and even that was mediocre.

[@nostalgiaprofessori]

Gotta love the nostalgia, but damn this movie had a lot of dark moments for a young audience. The thoughts of dying in the dark fog by getting eaten alive by a bunch of spiders. Mutation taking over and the thought of getting your friends killed, the metallic howling of the beast inside at 23:08 and the haunting sounds of Makuta's ghost. The red hand of darkness looked terrifying as a kid, at the time I was pretty sure hell would probably look like this movie. But still loved it as a kid! And I still do.

I'm coming back here from the age of 19. For me, the best moment will always be at 1:02:42 - the metaphysical music calms, Vakama's cannon ignites, and he speaks three simple words - "a certain Toa." To this day I can't explain why, but still remember how as a child this brief moment struck me as the point where, after the two films before this, I felt the Bionicle had earned its place in the infinity-verse of fiction, where it had stepped forward with an identity of it's own, and won. From then on, the Bionicle were my heroes, and they always will be...

[@Dogoflava2002]

I've seen all the movies since I was a kid. I recently started reading the books to find out what parts of the story were missing from the movie. SO MUCH. But it's been interesting to get a new perspective on these stories, gain a deeper appreciation. Seriously, mega props to Lego for bothering to go this hard on a toy line. Friggin love it.

[@Luka1180]

This movie is what is called a midquel, taking place in-between a different movie. Or specifically in this case it takes place between the scene where the Toa Metru carry the few Matoran Spheres they had salvaged to Mata Nui and the scenes where they reawaken all the Matoran on Mata Nui and become Turaga. That is, after they carried those few Matoran Spheres to the shore, they went back to rescue the rest of the Matoran, and this movie is the result of that.

i think you're a little bit confused, the piraka was released 1 year later after the hordika. in correction the piraka reminded you the toa hordika except nokama. (though not sure why would you think like that because the piraka are always evil to destroy anything from its path and were always fighting with each other for some reason and search the mask of life under the order of makuta teridax while the toa hordika kept the promise to rescue the matoran and they still kept close but vakama decided to follow his own rules and betrayed them.)
