I was fourteen when Mortal Kombat Annihilation came out. At the time, I thought it was the greatest movie ever.
Going back and watching it now? Kinda painful... Horrible plot, overabundance of unnecessary characters, and extremely unnecessary game tie-ins. (Animality, anyone?)
Oh well. At least it had a cool soundtrack and Sandra Hess fighting in mud!

Heh, I can relate to that type of stuff. I used to thought some movies and shows were great, but nowdays I can only cheaply laugh at them either due to silly plot or dubbing.
Anyway, thanks for the review.

I had to deduct a couple of points because it is only a preview. Honestly, you should probably have kept this under wraps until it was complete. Still, what's done is done.
Your skills have improved greatly in a very short time! Your choreography is excellent, as well! Keep going and you'll soon have the technical knowledge to do it the greatest justice!

This actually isn't bad for a beginner flash. Your choreography is interesting, but you need to work on your VCAM usage. For example, never alter the relative dimensions of the VCAM- it will distort the visuals. It should maintain the same height/width aspect ratio at all times.
You should also look into menu development. While story is good in general, it becomes a chore on subsequent plays if the viewer already knows the plot-line. There should be some means of skipping it when you've already read it.
You've got potential. Don't let a few zero-bombing detractors discourage you. You will get better with time.

That homage to the original gets an instant ten from me. I tip my hat to you, sir.

Very impressive!
The speed and the music made for a very exciting short! I also like how you chose to use bone claw Wolverine. That added an element of realism that wouldn't have been present with adamantium claws.
I also LOVE the outcome.
I regret to hear that you will be leaving the sprite world. However, I do realize all too well the need to move on when there is no more joy in something. Best of luck, man!

Damn, you actually reviewed me lol. Glad to see that you enjoyed it though, because from the score lots of others did not. It came out with a 3.63, went all the way down to a 3.02 and now it has a 3.26.
I KNOW I could of done better, but due to my lazy factor I never can bring out my full potential. I'm going to try to with my last submission though, I actually learned a couple of things while working on this.
Thx for reviewing me =)

Unfortunately, I cannot give top scoring to a trailer.
This series looks like it will feature less-frequently-seen characters, which is a MAJOR plus in my book. I eagerly await your next creation!

Simple, yet effective presentation of the song lyrics.
However, I noticed the detrimental effect of the compression on the song itself. With a music video like this, you want the audio quality to be much better. This file weighs in at just under 1MB. You had plenty of leeway there to increase the sound quality, if only a little.
All in all, good presentation. In the future, don't be afraid of using a little extra space to ensure better sound quality.

I can't give top scoring to an incomplete flash. I will say that your predicament is indeed regrettable. This is exactly why you shouldn't animate on communal or family computers! Too many yahoos messin' with your hardware...
If you decide to rebuild and animate again, you might want to consider pulling that camera back a bit next time. It was just a little bit too close.

I like how actual game mechanics are mostly preserved here. Unfortunately, I was never that great at SMW even when I wasn't working with a relatively unfamiliar control style. Not your fault, so no deductions there.
I'll have to take your word that the rest of the game was indeed awesome. I spent too much time dying and sucking in general to get that far.
