			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, I just finished watching the movie (took me extra long to do so, as I had exams this week, so there wasn't too much free time), and here are my thoughts:

Before I get into more detail, I want to commemorate you for completing such a monumental film. Even if it wouldn't have taken so long under more advantageous circumstances, I still think that it is great you completed what I believe is "The Worlds Longest Brickfilm". Now, on to the review!

The animation was between really great and average. While there aren't really any places in the movie that are badly animated, there are some that are very, well, average. Though when this film has a well animated scene, it is positively great! The climactic fight scene was enthralling, and definitely something to behold! The other fight scenes were not half bad at all, either. Though, I do think that some of the digitally animated effects and characters, like the skeletons, looked very awkward and out of place.

While the story wasn't anything to write home about, it was simple and served it purpose. Though, I do wish we would have gotten to know more about the origin of the struggle between the Belmonts and Trakula, though then again, I don't think the games explained it much either, though I have only played Castlevania 1-4, Bloodlines, and Dracula X, so the newer ones might explain it.

I'd say that my biggest problem with the movie is the characters and character development. I'm not sure if I missed something, but we really never got to know any of the characters or any of their motivations. Justus never really evolved beyond the "hero out for revenge against the man who killed a loved one", and we never really got to see any side of him besides the generic action hero. The other characters have an equal lack of personality or character. If we got to see more of each characters faults, quirks, and traits, it would have made the film even better than it is, as we could really get attached to these characters.

While doing something like that is often hard to do in a 3 to 8 minute brickfilm, when your film is 2 and a half hours, you have some time to flesh out the characters

Now, as for the ending, I personally think it was fine, and a nice setup to a sequel. Its okay for a film to have a downer ending, as long as it serves a purpose, and isn't just a downer ending for the sake of having a downer ending.

But all in all, this is a great film you have here, and I am eagerly awaiting a sequel, which hopefully doesn't take as long to make. And thank you for providing subtitles, so that everyone can enjoy this great film you have! :D]]></content>

The ending was kind of a big downer, as the ending should be more positive,

I'm still shocked that it took your team [b]7 YEARS[/b] to make this
[/quote]

Yep,
Ending is realistic. 
Guys with most advanced technology win. Our heroes didn't have guns, (yet !)

7 years is too much, if we didn't have to do normal things... animator go to school, get high grades and director to finish med-school and work as doc....  Then it would have taken only 1-2 years :)]]></content>
