It’s okay. Once more, Greg wages a battle against the screenwriters of the movie through his use of the subtext for the characters. They think how they should but don’t always say what is in character. That said, there really isn’t much saving the plot. Things happen because Mata Nui needs to fight Tuma at the end. It doesn’t really fit the grit of Bara Magna we got in the comics or Raid on Vulcanus. Oh well. I at least have fond memories of this movie since it came out on my birthday.

In The Legend Reborn, the main characters are the Glatorian (good guy warriors), Skrall, and Bone Hunters (bad guy warriors). They all live on Bara Magna, which is another world. Literally. It all started when the Skrall were driven out of the mountains by mysterious shape-shifters into the desert, where they found the Glatorian and Agori (a-gor-ee) (workers) villages.

I liked this book because it was an exciting adventure.
