Reviews for "Dante's Inferno: Canto I"

Luved the role..

hey luved it cant wait till another comes out...keep up the good work

Good job!

I never knew about Inferno. Good presentation.

its okay

Still could have been better , like the way the everything looks I guess . And the music doenst fit well with the whole thing . Well just keep it up and do more research I guess , thats all I could say .

nice but...

it was really good like the graphics were really well done but im kinda wondering why a guy would rather walk through hell the birth place of pain and suffering vs. attacking the animals i mean what the hell? if i was him i would have kicked them in the nuts and said NOW U STAY ON THE GROUND OR I WILL KICK U IN THE NUTS AGAIN see what i mean?

Impressive

You have done a very good job of animating the first canto from Inferno. You really should do the rest; if you maintain the same standards; you will be like a modern Gustave Doré. Graphics and style were impeccable. Sound was good, although I did detect a slight skip in the voice acting around the point Virgil tells Dante he must pass through Hell. It could just have been my speakers, however.

Interactivity is non-applicable for movies. As for humour, I found Dante's reactions to the beasts to be slightly amusing as well as realistic: suddenly finding oneself face to face with a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf, whether they be actual animals or embodiments of capital sin, would make most people gulp and cower in fear.

The sign above the entrance to Hell is not wrong, as some people have stated. It depends on your translation. In the translation I read, the epitaph stated, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." That is the most familiar phrasing. However, some other translations may render it differently. Or if you translated it from the Italian yourself, you might not translate it exactly that way. Some other person stated something about Virgil being black. That is false, both in posterity and in your movie's depiction. Virgil was rendered quite well, albeit I never envisioned him as having white hair. I think that if you had made him look middle-aged, it would have been better. But as you are the artist, it is your license to depict the epic poet as you envision him.

Overall, you did an excellent job on this. You should definitely work on animating the other cantos. It will be a challenge to depict the circles of Hell and the Malebolge in an appropriate manner: showing them in all their horror and grotesqueness, but yet keeping faith to Dante's work. However, I have the utmost confidence in your abilities should you choose to take upon that endeavour.
