Good, but hiiiiiighly overrated.
This flash has been number 1 for a while now. Enough is enough. I keep seeing this and shaking my head. It seems all of newgrounds is impressed by good voice acting and "O Fortuna". Granted, Deven Mack did a very good job with this piece. But the flash does not deserve more than a 3 out of five, and I don't understand why people don't get that.
There is some very good animation in this piece, and good use of comedic timing. Every word is planned out to make a great impact with the viewer. But in the end, as epic as the sound is, THIS IS STILL JUST A VIDEO OF FANCY MOVING TEXT. Really! That's what this is. This entire movie of text. Granted, it moves in a fun way, but I would not give this movie more than 3 stars, because in actuality it is much more lacking in content than many other movies below it. Not to mention this took close to no creative thought on the author's part.
Think. You're voting all fives on a movie made up of "pretty" typography animation that was put to a voice acting track and the most overused "epic" song in all of history. You've even voted it higher than amazing movies like "Katan", which present an enthralling original story-line and smooth action-packed animation. Why that is, I don't understand.
Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciate this movie, and I like watching it just as much as anyone else. i find it funny and well animated and well executed. But not enough to make it the highest rated movie on newgrounds, not for a movie with close to no originality, which consists of animated (but none the less, only) words. Let's all stop getting swept up by epic music. Think about it, if there was no music, would you still rate it as highly as you are?
