An opinion which anyone is entitled to, but like I said...it's all a matter of personal preference. I thought it was very well done, but then again I'm FAR from an expert on this sort of thing.
Seeing as I've done and been trained in animation, Yes... yes I do. Once I'm done with school I'll also BE an animator. Just because the guy put a rediculous amount of work into it doesn't make it good.
The only point of that movie was to attract attention. The guy said so himself. ...also it's not the animation I don't like... I can appreciate his animation. It's everything else I can't stand.
1-NO creativity. Except for the sheild/rifle trick, and some of the MC vs Samus bits, ever single bit of that flick was ripped off of someone else's work. Alot of it were coreography taken DIRECTLY from matrix reloaded.
2-Poor Pacing. The scenes were all way too fast. I realise that he was trying to do ALOT of stuff and keep it in time with the music, but he should have picked better music then. Everything is way to frantic and too hyper. It makes the whole thing look REALLY amateur. I know he is amateur.... but you don't want to look amateur... I mean come on.
3-Bad music. DON'T USE MATRIX MUSIC. The stuff at the begining and end are fine... everything in the middle is terrible. It's cliched and doesn't work with whats going on in the scene.
4-Terrible Story. I don't care if it's Nicole or whoever... He clearly implies throughout the begining that it's Master Cheif. To suddenly have the suit open and it's nicole inside is just rediculous and stupid. Plus the whole lesbian thing is just dumb. I mean seriously... they had only met like 2 minutes earlier and had been trying to kill each other, and suddenly they're making out?
5-This was a sell-out movie. He only made this movie because a)Halo is popular, and b)Metroid is popular, and c)a versus movie would be really popular. He's basically said as much himself.
Anyway, that could have been a good movie. If he had focused more on the MC vs Samus part(which is the good part of the movie), had gotten better music, and slowed things down, it would have been alot better.
Right now however I find that the whole thing is largely a piece of dren.
Well... whatever, the rest of the internet seems to like it.
Sounds like the Power Snob point of view that if anything is to be considered good that it must be a wholly original creation instead of something that's just balls out fun.
What's wrong with fanwank if it's that good of a handjob?
First off...
Jedi = AWESOME. What do you want it to be, a pirate?
Second, that wasn't Master Chief. It never says Master Chief. We clearly know it's Nicole from DEAD OR ALIVE 4. Nicole, you remember. The FEMALE Spartan?
You kidding me? It's a fan-vid of Metroid and Halo. Of cource it's not going to be original! He's taking two set franchises and making a movie about them.Sounds like the Power Snob point of view that if anything is to be considered good that it must be a wholly original creation instead of something that's just balls out fun.

I mean for fans of Metroid that movie was like a punch in the face.
