Reviews for Bullet : Ret. Specialist

Good for an initial effort

Your choice of sound and background music were more than apt, but it is the graphics, and the voicing to a lesser degree, that you should work on.

1) If you want to make a really good Flash movie, go back to the classics. Read a screenplay or look at storyboards for a movie. Cinematogrophy is very important for setting up the perfect "shot" in anything visual, from a play to a Flash movie.

2) The influences of a movie like the Matrix are obvious, but it pays not to follow the pack and do so. The Matrix is mostly just paying tribute to older action and kungfu movies, and having an original style is what pays in the end.

3) Recruit multiple voice actors, and try to sketch out your shots before you make them in Flash MX.

4) Have fun!

Hmmm.......

The graphics in the beginning of the movie was unmatched. The reason why is because it looked liked you used real life buildings in the movie, and the sky was animated. The gun animations and blood were a little sloppy also. The charctear models were pretty good, and the sky animations were pretty good also. Also, with the gun scene, it really wasn't that intense as the other shooting movies out there. The bullets and the charctears were moving so slow, wasn't even funny. The gun scene was pretty much the biggest problem in the movie. The sound on the other hand, was pretty good. The voice acting was great and it matched the movie perfectly. Just had some problems on the gun sounds. I hope that you will improve the problems in the next movie. A Good job on the first one though.

Pretty good. A little too slow and maybe some better jumping animations could help. Nice job kepp up the good work.

Nice job

I liked it. Everyone thinks that alacrity is an idea original to the matrix, but it isn't. I have always loved the idea of "bullet time." I am so lgad this wasn't a stick movie. Thanks for taking the time to do some real graphics. Looking forward to part duex. Humor is always a good factor in films, try corny swartzenegger one-liners.
