"Short, but still funny."
date: January 5, 2009
Yes, I do like Metropolis Circuit. Its one of my favorite Flashes by one of my favorite authors. But, apparently unlike certain other users, I can appreciate a bit of humor poking fun at how little rtil developed the story for that little intro to Project Freetown.
PROS:
Hit rtil's animation right where it hurt: right in the weak storyline. He's going to have to make longer stories when he gets to the real thing for Freetown... Also, showed the other main points of the Flash: the generic characters, the roller skating, and the smoking.
CONS:
A bit short, and yet all too slow in comparison to the much-faster original. You also coulda showed a bit more on the smoking, since that was definitely present in the real thing.
OVERALL:
Not a bad animation at all, for the shortness of it. Had its share of humor about the original, so mission definitely accomplished on this one.
5/5, 9/10.

Author's Response:
it was only supposed to be slow-paced to draw attention to how nothing happens - if it was faster you wouldn't be bored while it's happening and so it wouldn't really work
maybe i could have done more with the smoking but i couldn't think of anything to be honest
that's a really good review though, thanks
