Title: The Showdown
Company/Director: Adrian Pikios & Redwampa
Genre: Fairly Short Action/Musical
Reviewed by MidbackMan

Summary:
	I couldn't think of what genre of 3dmm movie to put this in so I suppose it's in it's
own category. It's an action that takes after the events of WIll Maltby's Bulletin Board
Vigilante.


Scale:
1 to 10: Very Bad	A film of just terrible Quality; Don't bother
11 to 20: Bad		A few slightly redeeming qualities but still not worth your time
21 to 30: It's okay	Very ordinary technical stats; Not worthless but not great
31 to 40: Good		Above average; Usually recommended to the fan of the specific genre
41 to 50: Very Good	Well worth your attention; Content and design are spectacular


Review:
	First off, look at the technical scores before you read this review. They're mostly
low scores, with the exception of the Graphics category. That's just the way it is. I didn't
find anything about it that showed off something worth an exceptional score, as so many
3dmmers who watched this movie seemed to think it was worth. Maybe they're easier to please
than I am.
	Now, the graphics were something good. Some of the backdrop was fairly plain at
times and nothing to gawk at but there were some really cool scenes and the movement of
characters all around was really neat as well as the camera angle of one particular scene
where a massive monster comes out of the ground and yells you see him getting larger and
larger as he emerges from the ground and that you get a really cool effect of something
that's really large.
	There was also a pretty cool scene right after that where walking dead came out of
their graves and bats spewed from the monster's mouth. The monster himself was pretty bland.
It made me want to animate my own monster but I looked at the one in this film and thought
that this was little more 'plain' than what I wanted to do. Just so you get an idea of what
it was, is all.
	The story is just an action flick. Pointless, somebody - Pikios I imagine since he
seemed to control all of his own little Pikios-type minions from his movies in this movie,
finds what Will Maltby had done to the 3dmm Bulletin Board in BUlletin Board Vigilante and
goes after him to kill him but the aforementioned Monster comes and ruins the party and
the Will and the "Pikios-character" of course have to stop him from... being... I guess.
	And that's how it always is... The music was dramatic but didn't fit all of the time
and pused the movie's file size up there. Voices were very few but I did hear a neat high
pitched yell that emphasized falling down pretty well. Sound effects could have been used
better I thought, though.


Story:		 3/10  
Graphics:	 8/10 
Creativity:	 5/10
Voices:		 2/10
Music:		 5/10
Total:		 23/50 (Twenty-Three)


The Movies Highs:
*A great animation showcase


The Movies Lows:
*The usual with some good effects thrown in for good measure


Bottom Line:
	eh *shrugs shoulders*... It's got some cool animation but I didn't really enjoy it
that much. I wasn't entertained for very long. If you liked movies like Lethal Intention
that had cool action but a plot that wasn't bothered with then go ahead.
