Gore Hurts
Reasonably well played out, but the cartoon chunks of brain really do distract from the story.
Reviews for "Axeman"
not bad
nice animation, story line, and potential for a sequal or series.
however, I'm going to have to call bullshit on the fact that a kid without any indication of combat expeience could pull those stunts off.
not bad overall though
He's a vigilante anti-hero, which is still a hero
The animation is okay. It's not stupendous, but it wasn't the main focus of this story, after all. The "voices" were interesting. I can't help but feel annoyed whenever the sound for the mother's scream is used. Maybe I've been tricked one too many times when I was asked to stare closely at my screen with the volume raised. I don't fully understand what those "muggers" in the scene ten years ago were trying to accomplish. If they were broke, why decide to ransack a house? He has no superpowers, but he's really athletic. Wielding axes is really different from what you normally see (although those are really hatchets, but no one cares about classifications). Is he going to get a buffer look? I mean, axes aren't really that easy to use, and the guy throws them as well. I liked this flash, but I don't really think it's strong in anything. Hopefully, you can write more dialogue or narration to further explain+expand this story. Why does he mercilessly kill those three people in the beginning, for instance? The third person, frightened, was treated the same way his defenseless mother was. I guess that falls under the whole vigilante/anti-hero archetype, but it's still strange to me.
Good
That was good, and I liked the color of the flashback.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was an actual event where a child and a bunch of other kids turned up the radio while killing their parents to cut out the noise. That was pretty demented, you know? His parents. I guess people are just insane like that. But, anyways, nice work on the flash.
Good story here
So for a movie submission, This had its good and bad parts. For the most part, the good out-weighed the bad, so it was an movie entry I would recommend to others in an instant, It was a simple submission / movie but still enjoyed what you have here. So for me this was a great find and Discovery in the portal, It was Wonderfully done. The "STORY" part of things here was pretty impressive, the "VISUALS" are not bad somewhat simple but that made well for the story so i was pretty impressed with this one, also like the different "VIEW-SHOTS" And now we come to the end here well almost and what I took away from the experience here was that it was pretty interesting and Refreshing some stuff could be made better and have more entertaining value, I hope i can Clarify that later or maybe i have here, but thats all explained later, but for the most of this I liked it, so good work here.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
There are many ways to improve on this, and I have some advice here and there a few tops and a few adjustments should make this a top notch flash, so try a few of the ideas and and let the flash become even better. So try some of the ideas and advice, maybe you will see something and go with it, and in the end it will make a better outcome of a flash movie entry. I can see these "SHORTER" but in a series of sorts, this was good but did go long.
