Reviews for "Sonic: Dark Chaos PT1"
i give a 6
it all rigth 2 short
Hmm, well
First of all, I'd like to say that the lack of sound effects doesn't hurt the movie at all, as it's more of a music video action sequence, like Waterlollies or the Sonic CD opening. I'd also like to give you kudos for making a sonic cartoon that isn't full of Dragon Ball Z references, and is mainly based on speed combat.
However, there are many problems with this, mainly in the fact that it seems like you didn't really know what to do with the fight. It was mainly just the both of them running, occasionally running into eachother etc. Like, how the fight started off not with Metal trying to fight Sonic, but confronting him and then running away as if to say "come on, chase me". That's not how a real fight scene would happen, and it pretty much stayed this way through out. It was not directed very well, with the mirrored actions (both of them running up hills and then both running into eachother to make a predicatable climax). Things like Sonic pushing metal away when he did that move where he turns orange and dashes at you wasn't very in character, as sonic doesn't usually rely on the strength of his arms, especially against an attack like that.
And the animation was rather bland. The running was pretty good, but things like the spin dash looked terrible and, I don't know how to describe it. I guess 2d and filtered.
I know I am being pretty harsh, but it's just that you got the concept and style pretty dead on, it was just the execution that falls flat on it's face. Comparing it to something like Nazo Unleashed, this has the upper hand on concept but not animation or direction or excitement in general.
Keep doing what you're doing, but really try to out do yourself in the next one, really plan every shot etc.
not very good.
great character design, and great animation, excellant job coloring the characters and doing shading and shadowing, but there were very few sound effects, the combat scene was mediocre at best.
Music choice fit this vid, though.
Pretty awesome
