Excuses, Ideas and Whatnot.

Well, I'm afraid to say you might be forced to wait a little longer for the next chapter of 'Legends are Real'. The school holidays (for me) are over, and I just came back from a school camp (in Canberra!). And I've been neglecting my duties. So yeah.

The good news? Coming soon from me, (it will have it's own blog) is a Text-Based RPG, similar to the ones you can find on BZPower. It is called 'Bota Magna Online', and in this RPG, you play as an Agori or Glatorian, and struggle to survive on the moon of Bota Magna.

So, as I have stated earlier, the school holidays in Australia, NSW are over, and it's back to school for me, so I am sorry to say, I will have less time for this blog.

But don't worry! You have to things to look forward to, and hopefully, I can pick up the pace, finish all my projects (stories, etc.) and give you the next chapter of 'Legends are Real' and an RPG which I hope you'll like - 'Bota Magna Online'!

Are you glad that the Stars are canon?

Well, I'm eating my words. It turns out the Stars are (*sighs*) canon.
DUN-DUN-DUUUN!!

But the real question is... are you happy with the fact that they're canon? Let's see what the majority thinks - vote in the newest poll!

And please feel free to also express your opinion in the comments section.

No really, I do! As I promised you, my MoC blog (R/NO.M and Gresh96's MoC Blog) has been updated.

So, please go check out my new MoC, (Pyrol: Glatorian of Fire!) and please comment!

Expect an update for 'Legends are Real' as well. You won't have to wait long, the new chapter is nearly finished. It'll be up soon!!

New Poll Up!

What do you think of the name 'Bota Magna'?
No need to answer me in the comments section (though you could if you wanted), because the question above is the subject of the newest poll!

So, vote away, my readers!

Hello...?

Ok, I really have been neglecting this blog, and sorry to all my faithful readers out there, if I have any left, that is.

First off, I would like to remind everyone to have a look at the 'Contests' section of the sidebar, at the very top, I still have a contest going, though no one has sent me an entry yet.

I would also like to turn your attention to the 'MoC and Story Requests' section in the sidebar, just two sections down from 'Contests'. Please send in requests, I haven't recieved one yet.

Second off, I would like to remind everyone of my other blogs, R/NO.M and Gresh96's MoC Blog, and the Legends Are Real Blog. Both have been neglected as well, but expect an update for both soon.

Third off, I would like to present to you my TLR Review!

BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn
Reviewed by Ray/No.Minus

THE PLOT:
Bionicle: The Legend Reborn had a very interesting story. Everything was very well paced, and felt authentic. The traitor did come as a surprise to me, which is good, which means that the traitor is not very obvious at the beginning. If he was, that would really take away from this movie.

Anyway, I enjoyed the story very much. It doesn't reveal too much at one time, which is great. The end was a bit of a surprise as well.

THE PRESENTATION:
Let me just say one thing here - SUPERB ANIMATION. I'm not going to kid you, the animation was great. The only part that didn't look very good was the bit where Mata Nui rises out of the ocean. It looks nice at some parts, but most of it is sloppy CGI, that just looks unrealistic. When he sits up, the CGI is terrible, and when he stands up out of the ocean, with one of his arms at an angle, it just looks ugly and unfinished. The rest of that section was okay, but not spectacular.

I did not like how the title appeared onto the screen. It just came forward like that, in some sort of bad Powerpoint title animation. Lego, seriously, could you have done something better? Like a fade-in?

The movie was very short too. I really enjoyed it, but they went from Tesera to the final battle WAY too quickly. They didn't even drop by Iconox, and Gelu was no where in sight in this movie.

Another thing - Mata Nui VS Tuma was not the epic clash I thought it would be. Tuma knocks Mata Nui down a few times, then Mata Nui gets up and whacks him in the back with his shield 'till he falls unconscious. They whole thing takes less than three minutes. Not epic at all.

THE CHARACTERS:
The characters were portrayed very well. The voices fit very well, especially Mata Nui's, Ackar's and Berix's. Mind you, the other character's voices were great too, like Metus'. He didn't sound like I expected him to, but his voice definitely fit. The screams, crys and grunts of the Vorox, Skrall and Bone Hunters were also very well done.

The characters are very well animated, like how Vastus' snake shoulder armor sways when he walks, looking very authentic, or how bits on the character's helmets move up and down, acting as eyebrows. The giant Malum-shaped Scarabix Beetle monster wasn't WELL animated, but it certainly wasn't BADLY animated.

Another gripe is that all the Agori that watch Glatorian matches, or just pass by, are clones of the released sets. For example: All the Fire Tribe Agori are Raanu look-alikes.

What I do like about the Village Leaders, is that they have some sort of shoulder armour. It just looks really cool.

THE MUSIC:
The music was good. It wasn't spectacular, but it was pretty well done. Compared to the music of the previous three movies, the music of the prequel's prevails, but only by a very small margin.

So, yeah, the music was good.

THE SPECIAL FEATURES:
The special features were nothing spectacular, but they certainly weren't horrible. The deleted scenes were pretty funny, as was the extended ending. The music video was entertaining, the character galleries were limited, but not bad, and the trailer for the upcoming Lego movie (not Bionicle movie, Lego move) was interesting.

THE CONCLUSION:
Well, Bionicle: The Legend Reborn is certainly worth watching, especially if you're a Bionicle fan. It's short, some bits are certainly not very well done, and there's nothing THAT spectacular about the entire thing, but it's just a really fun, well animated movie to watch

So if you're a Bionicle fan, or just someone who's interested in watching it, I recommed you do so.

Yeah, my long review is finally finished.

And lastly, that blog post dedicated to The Stars (Target Exclusives, by the way, NOT 2010 sets) is still coming soon!
