2009
here with a review of 2009 from a Bionicle standpoint. 2009 was a year of ups and downs.

After a horrible end to 2008 set-wise with the horrible mistika, seeing the new glatorian sets was a great relief. However, upon finding out this was on Bara Magna, not our beloved MU, I wasn't too happy. But in my opinion is was actually a fairly good change that helped shape the rest of the year. The Glatorian legends however were far better. The large plethora of pieces was a very welcome change from the previous sets and was helpful for Moccing purposes. The vehicles were awsome to, much bigger than the 08 ones but I prefered the 08 ones. Giant rocket powered ships float my boat, I guess :P. So Set- wise 2009 was an awsome year!!!

Story wise however was a different thing. The year started off quite bland if you ask me. Simple arena fightsboring. Small battle with voroxboring. But during the summer it picked up again. Raid on Vulcanus, the arrival of mata nui and the hype for the first movie in 4 yrs, The Legend Reborn. I my opinion, TLR wasn't great. In actuality is was my 2nd worst bionicle movie after Web of Shadows. I didn't like the set accurate style(it seemed lazy to me), the story was too shallow and rushed and the skrall were made to look like wusses (Two elite skrall were merely pushed aside by mata nui, a rookie fighter). Back on the MU, Reign of Shadows was an awsome serial and Terdiax coming to kill mata nui was pretty enthralling. So story-line was........ok.

2009, however, was the harbinger of something far more sinister and unexpected that we coiuld have ever imagined. The End Of Bionicle
