Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows is the most visually and narratively pleasing feature yet in the Bionicle series. With a story that is a little less self-referential than the previous movies, and set against some truly spectacular, computer-generated backdrops, Web of Shadows concerns the return of the heroic Toa to Metru Nui. There, they find an old enemy has overtaken the great city with the help of Visorak--robotic spiders that can quickly encase anything or anybody in near-indestructible webs. The Toa undergo a bizarre metamorphosis while sealed within strange cocoons, and emerge as clunky-looking machines made up of mismatched parts. Though horrified, they find that they also possess some new powers, which prove essential for their subsequent journey (itself full of twists and turns) to restore Metru Nui--and themselves. This delightful Bionicle installment is probably easily accessible for any viewer unfamiliar with the series to date. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Its better....
Don't get me wrong, I think Bionicle is Ok. I'm not as huge a fan as my brother, but living with him, I've had to get to know a thing or two about this series.
Web of Shadows was not terrible, it was certainly better than the first and maybe moreso than the second, but it is soooo obvious that these are just one BIG commercial.
Overall, the plot line is a bit stale and hard to get caught up into. There are several sequences, such as "Keetongu" (or however it is spelled) or the transformation of the toa that will have anyone that is not a die hard fan rolling their eyes. Roodaka, the queen, was a refreshing new twist on the scenario and gave us something interesting, however, the relationships of the toa still seemed rather forced, which is somewhat surprising at this point.
Fans of the "bionicle" series will rejoice at yet another installment of their favorite series, but there isn't much here for anyone else. If you don't know much about the plot, watch this with someone who knows all the names, locations, and references made, because you won't understand a word of this story otherwise.

The Bionicle Trilogy Is Complete!
The Bionicle movies just keep getting better with every release!
Web of Shadows features the best CGI thus far in the series along with the greatest action sequences to date. The voice acting is again top level and the storyline logicaly fits between "Mask" and "Ledgends". This is a must buy for any fans or owners of the first two DVDs.

Bionicle 3 Movie
A great movie for the Bionicle fan. My son enjoys the Bionicle movies and action figures very much. This and the other Bionicle movies helps to incorporate them together.
