Reviews for "Black Knights Episode 3"
pretty good
I watched all three and i loved them all. The only problem that i have with this one is that the voices were sort of hard to understand at times and it was way to short. Good job though hopefully the next is better.
Breathtaking Ambience
This was instantly slapped into my favorites. It (the flash) was absolutely the best thing to come home to after work. I have to say that this was utterly brilliant. The concept, the design, the action; the list goes on. In a word: Wow.
To be completely honest, when I first clicked on it I couldn't help but close an eye and hope for the best. No, this isn't meant to be taken as an insult, or the like. It's just what I immediately thought when I read the title. I'd never seen any of your other works before so I had no idea what I would be viewing. Boy am I glad that I didn't pass this title up. It pretty much made my day. (And it's quite fitting that I watched this right after purchasing tickets to see Narnia.)
The style was slick and just rough enough to make the entire piece just 'work' for me. Granted everything was smooth lined and double edged but it made me think 'jagged silk'; the type of plaster paint just thick enough to sink my teeth into. Totally metro. (wee for slang) I really could find no fault with this piece in the terms of animation style, coloring, posing, and what have you . . . It was premium.
The sound; that's another story but there again I really could find no fault in any of it! True the battle scene had a lot of reused grunts and cries but that's okay because no one, (basically I), would really care; I was so caught up with the action that the sound melted into the background while I was watching the character hack, slash, and punch his way through the warriors. To be able to make me forget that there is anything besides the sequence unraveling before my eyes is really saying something. (Even if it's just to me.) Applause is needed, warranted, and granted.
Your flash is beautiful. You deserve a 10, you truly do, but I'm giving you a 9. It's nothing to do with the quality, because it's Boss, but more to do with my personal rating system. Love it, saved it, and am waiting patiently for the next chapter to unfold.
Overall 9/10
Bloody
Bloody. Nice Work man, good amount of blood, not to much, not to little, alot of flashes can't get the balance of blood. Unless the blood symbolizes anything, it takes away from the flash itself. But when you have the right amount of blood splatter, it adds to it. your Graphics, Stle and Sound were superb, and went well together. You would have gotten a 10 but I found that the little writing in the middle kinda confuse me as to the story or plot.
People don't seem to understand this...
Everyone seems to be dissing the crap out of this flash. Ok, ok, the sound isn't that great, and there's barely any dialogue. But do you hear any in scenes of some of the best movies out there? Take LOTR for example. When everyone's fighting, it's always "Oh no, blargh" or some other random exclamation.
Also, what's the dealie with people asking "wtf is up with the prologue in the middle??omfg"? How does that even affect the overall goodness of the flash? A good cliffhanger never hurt anyone, and it's part of the style. Everyone's going on and on about "oh no, he told the story in the middle". GO WATCH THE PREVIOUS EPISODES. The story will be finished soon enough, and you will have your "lacking storyline".
Furthermore, what's up with the penis castle? Get your adolescent heads out of the gutter. It's a watchtower, with a roof.
And finally (I think) I have to explain the sword. Have any of you played some of the better medieval RPG games out there? No matter where you are, you can probably get a Katana. The guy is freaking magical. He can do whatever the heck he feels like. Slicing through a guy? No problem.
Give the guy a break, sit back, and enjoy the flash for what it is: A good animation that has a creative background and story.
Thanks for listening,
