Movie Review: R-1 by Rokzilla

I received mail on Gameriot asking me to check out a rogue movie. So I proceed to follow the link not knowing what to expect. Once I saw the name of the movie I figured, here we go again. Some lame rogue with a funny name running around just killing people for an hour, with bad editing and a special thanks message at the end of the movie.…Yeah I put my foot in my mouth after I saw Rokzilla intro.

You can find his movie here:

The gigantic Crits that appeared on the screen caught my attention. It’s just a video game, but I said “holy **** I wouldn’t have wanted to be that guy!” After watching the clip of the 10k+ crit on some warlock I think. I said to myself “and this was just his intro!” So I kept watching figuring that it might be a fluke. After about a minute I was hooked, and all the doubt I had went out the window. I had to hand it to Rokzilla he picked some very entertaining footage. He mixed in both BG’s clips and Arenas clips, which was nice to see again since a lot of people just do straight arena movies nowadays. I never try to judge any movie on the directors play style, but the Crits and tactics he was using brought something to the movie that I couldn’t describe.  Rokzilla’s camera views are great and I couldn’t complain about them. Everything was clear, and focused on the action, and he left the boring parts out, which is always a plus in my book. The comments he put in were nice, and the transitions of the encounters were near perfect, both these elements combined are what most movie maker should always try to incorporate into their movies. Editing like this made Rokzilla’s movie flow much better then other movies I have seen. That’s one part of directing that people tend to forget. You as the director are supposed to lead the viewer in the direction you want them to see, and not have the viewer playing the guessing game while they watch your movie..

The music was very well picked, and it helped the movie keep its fast pace. A good soundtrack will always help excel a movie, even to the point where you go to U Tube and look up the songs, because they keeps playing in you mind.

My overall reaction to this movie is simple. If you haven’t seen it go watching it, if you have seen this movie watch it again. If you’re an upcoming movie maker learn from this movie and if you made a movie and didn’t feel it was good enough, than copy this movie. After I finish watching his movie I saw that its rating on Warcraft movies was rather low, and then I saw the release date. To my surprise this movie had been released awhile back, though he did land 36k which is very impressive he should have gotten more… Keep up the good work and I can’t wait till you release your next movie.
