Good
Nice overall flash movie. There's no much animation in this one, so is hard to judge. Nice colors, the drawings are quite simple but still good. The music is pretty good. Keep it up!
Reviews for "The Last Fight"
Nothing New
meh, I'm a harsh critic, so don't be upset I don't throw around with 10s. Indeed, a 5 means you did quite well.
But.
(You've gotta love this silly word)
- The story wasn't very imaginative/creative. It's the good/bad(/corrupted) twin brother concept we all know from dozens of games and movies. Nintendo alone made all their good protagonists have a "demon side" within them.
--"Every 16 years we prove we can still kick butts" sounds like a really lame excuse to present a battle to the watcher.
-- There was no real build up of the brother's character. I didn't feel sorry for him in the end because I don't know what kind of person he was. Maybe he threw stones at ducks when he was small, who knows? I want to say there was no character build up and that makes all characters really flat. Even the "bad mad scientist" (stereotypes, anyone?) didn't have any background at all. He didn't even have a "real" reason to do what he does. At least give him a bad childhood xD
-- I think you wanted this to be an epic battle, but now battle is epic when there's no story behind the characters so I can cheer on my favorite. Also, the fighting wasn't that exciting.
- You reused on of the brothers standing in a flashback. That's a no-no :S At least his pose looked just like in the beginning of the movie.
- The only real thing that seperated the brothers' appearance was the hair color, right? You need some time to figure out who's the "bad guy". That's bad. :S
- The subtitles were REALLY disturbing. Not only because I wanted the music to explain what I see or at least support the atmossphere, it looks like you couldn't decide whether or not include voice acting (or you didn't want to do any and so subbed it). You could have made up the action so one can naturally think of what the characters say. Like "There She Is!!" steps for a prominent Newgrounds example.
-Graphics were okay. Not top-notch, but not disturbingly bad
-The music and the pics matched, the lyrics hm-hm.
I know a complex opinion cannot be represented by numbers. But let's just say I didn't think your movie was a bad or low one. In fact, I think you really put thought and effort into this piece, but you can do much more if you work on your movies. Maybe let someone else write a script for you if you're not good at story-writing. Books are turned into movies because not all blessed movie-makers can be blessed book authors, too.
Keep up the good work! I hope I'm gonna see some other work from you in the future. :)
Great
The music was fantastic, and the the animation was great. I did get a little confused in the middle as to what was going on, but I figured it out in the end. Good job!
Golden!
VERY WELL DONE! This is great.
SERIOUS POTENTIAL, no joke
The Good: Very nice drawing style, it's simplistic and could work very well in a flash if used right. The colors really caught my attention, they were a pleasure to look at.
The Bad: The story was pretty lazy. Every 16 years a warrior is chosen. Two brothers fight. One was experimented on by a talking shadow. Ehh.... Also, the there was more camera-shaking and filter-blurring than actual fight animation.
The Ugly: You spent a year drawing this on paper....? Ouch. My only question is "Why?", there's nothing in this flash that couldn't have been done full-digital with MUCH less effort.
I like your style, but I'm begging you to just learn to draw in flash, your work will evolve a lot faster. Waiting to see more.
