Well, part 1 is finally here. In order to review this without giving anything away, I'll break it down into a simple list of the movie elements.
1. Camera Movements Good: kept the action in view most of the time, wasn't jittery or anything. Bad: Some of the camera movements could be better, and less random.
2. Information Good: The movie kept you informed with what's happening, you weren't left in the dark. Bad: The constant text screens are annoying. When people watch a movie, they usually don't want to read stuff, and they distract you from what's going on.
3. Combat Good: Wasn't overstressed; decent action shots. Bad: The combat is ok, but it's too similar to actual JKA fighting. By that I mean it seems more random rather than scripted.
4. Music Good: Right tone for what was happening, and wasn't over-dramatic. Bad: Too loud. 'Nuff said.
5. Player Acting Good: Actors moved in unison, use of animations was properly used. Bad: Sometimes they were a little off, could be done a little better. No dialog.
Suggestions
I know it may sound impossible, but for combat, I would have used NPCs and some custom animations, like they do on taspir right before you fight Alora again.
Rather than use screens with text like some early Charley Chapman movie, use a deep voice-over. (Think Rahn in DFII:JK.)
The movie could use some dialog. Try this setup: Voice-over at the beginning of a scene, action/dialog during the scene, voice-over for important events, repeat.
Well, that about wraps it up, really. For a low quality version, click here. For a high quality version, click here.
