Monty Python & the Holy Grail in Lego (2001)
Great fun
Every time I watch this, it still makes me laugh and grin. The Lego figures are very similar to their real film counterparts, and the dead parrot scene was a subtle joke, as was the 'it's only a (Lego) model'. It's just so well done and so accurate even in Lego parts to the film that it's great. The song itself is very funny and jumpy, and I love the Clark Gable line, and the 'eat ham and jam and spam a lot' line. I can find barely any faults in this whole little film. Hopefully, Lego and some other film company will someday do another great Lego styled parody to filming. Perhaps a Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter parody would be funny. Until then, we can just wish for more...
Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui (2004)
Excellent movie!
The first Bionicle movie, Mask of Light, released in 2003, was a very good film, but lacked action and intensity, and was a bit too simple and junorized. Thankfully, this problem has been solved in the prequel, Legends of Metru Nui. The storyline, which revolves around the six new Toa Metru trying to save the Matoran and rescue Toa Lhikan from the Dark Hunters, whilst trying to discover Metru Nui's darkest, deepest secret, is a lot darker and more complex than before, and it all really pulls together in the end, which is excellent. The villains are far more powerful and creepy than the Rahkshi in Mask of Light, and the final villain, which I won't name for spoilers sake, is the best of them all. The only weak points are in the complexity of the story, which might confuse some casual viewers, and there are only a few bonus features, despite the fact that they're very cool, with several sneak peeks that are great for Bionicle fans. Overall, this movie is really worth it!
