I agree with Lech. For two straight years of work, and an even longer peorid of hyping, I thought the ending was way too quick.
Good:
-EXELLENT score. Schlock, if I ever make an 'Epic', I want you to do the music for it! It captured to whole feeling of the movie perfectly, and without it, I feel the movie would have been mediocre.
-Good sets. Although its pointless to praise and critise the movie here, I'm not creating an account on BF just to reveiw this movie (also, me and Twick have a little history)
-Nice rain effects Lech.
-Nice Tinkerbell effect Smeagol, and I love the opening shot.
Bad:
-Though the greenscreen worked out pretty well (I think Twick ended up doing it himself) for some of the time it was not needed. The shot of Peter on the tree could have used a backdrop to the same effect, and the street corner could have just featured more set. I suppose this is just because I'm not really a fan of CG unless there is no other way of doing it. I'm sure real set would have looked much better.
-The Ending. As Mindgame said, the movie is horribly paced. A script is like a poem, its got to keep consistent and sounding good. After two years of work, I would have expected scripting to be top notch and to perfection.
WTF:
-The flying. WHAT THE HELL? Why did Peter suddenly jump out of the window and fly? Did he just think "Bad ending AWAY!" and knew he was going to fly? I thought you needed Pixie dust or some other magical power, yet Peter seemed to have neither. Its like Twick just cut out the part where Peter learnt how to fly, and just decided to show him flying. And the scene was too dark to see Peter flying anyway.
-Why did Peter suddenly decide to run away? I didnt even know he had run away untill he returned, and the movie didnt show how long he had run away for. Surely he must have grown full size legs by the time his family managed to get a daughter and forget all about Peter? Though the thought of going to school makes me want to run away, I think it was way to quick.
-WHERE THE HELL DID THE FAIRY COME FROM? Half the movie is missing here. Whilst the other characters are developed exellently, Tinkerbell comes right out of no-where and the voice over acts like she's been in the whole movie. No wonder the editing took so long - half the movie appears to have been cut. I cant beleive that whilst scripting, such errors could have been made.
Overall: 3/5. Whilst containing the best beggining to a Brickfilm ever, be prepared to be dissapointed by such a poor, corner cutting ending.
Moral: Dont ever hype a Brickfilm. EVER.
