Reviews for "Black Knights episode 4"
Good, but not great
At least Obi-Wan managed to summon Metagross at the end. Sorry...
Another cool animation that I completely missed, could there by more pearls like this on New Grounds? Although it has potential there are a lot of things wrong with 'Black Knights'. I found myself cringing at some of the dialogue, the script is bad enough, but the voice acting compounds the issue.
The screens that appeared between scenes, describing what was going on in the story, were unnecessary. It would have been more dramatic if we didn't know that the wizards didn't plan on defeating Malagent (sp?) and only found out at the last minute when the ancient came to smack him down. If you did want a narrator why not use a voice actor? It really slowed the action when I had to read a couple of paragraphs of back story off my computer screen. Yawn.
On the topic of voice actors, having only watched this once I can't really say whether or not they should be fired, but they certainly need more direction. It's a classic case of an animator trying to be dramatic, like George Lucas. It looks nice, but where's the content? The animation isn't even all that good, a lot of it was laboured and matched the cardboard acting. The echoing at the beginning was so excessive I stopped trying to understand what they were saying.
You could argue that this is New Grounds and a lot of these issues are typical of low budget serious animation, but it's so obvious that the author is attempting to be cinematic and he needs help.
moved kinda slow
but great art, and good voices, good job there
hmm nice i must say
sorta shitty but the graphics and the sounds wer ok
Good, but lacks a main character...
although you finally got some relevant characters to oppose malegant there is still no one to play the role of hero, or anti-hero, unless of course this is the story of Malegant and how he manages to destroy Loklair, then you are excused. but do a good job about his antagonists then, so far all he does is cut them in half as if they weren't there, and that isn't enough to compose a story.
the voice acting has improved quite a lot since the beggining, but still has a long ways to go. the music selection is good though, and is what hold most of the series together.
on the graphics department, all i can say to you is: do some researching!! you really need to get the basis of somethings. Take a look at how a real sword, armor, castle and other things are, know how they work and why they are shaped the way they are. Even if you don't copy them exactly, at least you'll have a good basis from wich you can extrapolate from. that's how everything begins for art.
well, that's everything. keep improving.
