[kenellard]

The film or the posters? People keep mistaking that im part of SeriousDuke's film. I only did the artwork and DVD label cover.

distancing ourselves from the project? Is someone pulling an Allan moore here???

 

[millennium movies]

Assumptions, poor ones at that too.

 

[kenellard]

this thread needs to close, it has two moves;

"omfg!!!!! great work!!!!!11111"
"why thank you"

"that sucked"
"oooh you are a nasty nasty man"

the movie isn't great, and why would it be. the kid will get better at it in time and then we'll all be happy, yay

 

[millennium movies]

uh huh...

SeriousDuke, man, dont give up! Dont pay attention to this whole agitation.

 

[Golden-Age Hero]

Yeah. If someone likes the film they're thanked for their comments, and if they don't, they're pretty much called a jerk. I swear.

 

[millennium movies]

You can say you dont like it but there are ways other than those displayed here.

 

[Mr. Socko]

So is this any good?

 

[millennium movies]

Its worth checking out. Its got some good stuff in it. Obviously it has its flaws, but mostly good directing and good acting, specialy joker's part. He told me today's his movie premiere at his local school theater. So he will film some footage of that and post it online. Should be interesting to see. As a wannabe filmaker myself i must say my curiosity is peeked.

The really hard part with fan films is that you cant compare them to professionly made films. Since the sound, picture and effects arent nearly at the same level. So this film was pretty much as good as you can get without speending millions of dollars. I've seen many fan films and this one was just as good as all the others i've seen

This film could of been really good - but Harvey Dent, and Batman's acting ruined it.

What was wrong with Dent?

 

[Ronny Shade]

What was wrong with Dent?

Duh! It wasn't Liev Schreiber!

 

[StorminNorman]

What was wrong with Dent?

His acting was horrid? I must admit, I only watch half of this one (Duality) but Dent was easily the weakest actor in the last one (Brutality).

 

[Mr. Socko]

Was this better then Batman Dead End?

 

[StorminNorman]

I dont like Dead End at all, and I like the story of this movie. Plus I respect the length of it and budget so I consider it so. Quality wise though, it is not close.

 

[Mr. Socko]

How long is this? An hour?

 

[Keyser Sushi]

So in other words, this movie is high in artistic value, low in production value.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Check out the first movies M. Night Shyamalan or Peter Jackson made in their backyards, and look what those guys are doing now.

More or less exactly.

We have not heard the last of Eric Speigal! Or maybe we have....

Hee hee hee...

...Yellow...

 

[StorminNorman]

It must be a Thurdsay, I could never get the hang of Thurdays.

 

[Mr. Socko]

It's Friday here.

Nice weather for it.

Batman dead end was amazing! very good quility,acting and costumes
I was surprised it wads a fan film

Dead End could never be put into the category as Brutality or Duality.

Dead End had a short Joker. That was terrible. He's 6' at least (possibly taller based on whatever source you're going by, and he should never be shorter than that) and considering that Sandy Collara (sp?) worked on costumes for Alien and Predator, his film pulled a lot more than it should have. With Sandy's budget, he did poor as well as terrible in the same sentence.

Now in the case of Brutality and Duality, Batman sounds like he had a chicken bne caught in his throat and tried too hard to do the Bale voice. It is possible to talk in a deep voice without overdoing it.

Scarecrow threw what now? Sugar? Cosmetic powder? Cocaine? Whatever it was, I'm sure it fit your budget. I understand that your budget was a factor in your films, but even a fan film takes time. Months even. Not the one month you've spent (I'm sure ) that it took you to film each of these.

Dent was just bad. Harvey Dent is permanently scarred, no scabbed over. Read a comic book, look up an orgin or two. That's within everyone's budget... provided you have a computer of course.

So, not to sound like the many dissenters that you've attracted to your thread (I am one of them) but do try to listen to other comments. People who do not like your films are not telling you to stop altogether, they are trying to push you into making better films, not drive you away. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

But just so you understand the analogy: If you can't take the criticism, stop making films.

So yeah, Eric, better luck next time; Sandy, stick to costumes and special effects.

I don't think anyone has actually said serious duke should stop making films, this is what criticism is about, and I think negative comments help alot more than many of the condescending "oh my god this is better than any film i've ever seen in my whole life" comments. Now I'm only assuming you intended to put the movies up on the internet for the purpose of getting peoples honest opinions about them, however if you only want to listen to empty compliments then that is your problem.

Just keep making films, and eventually the praise will come, you do have potential.
