Huge pacing problems.

This movie had huge pacing problems. The first half of the movie spent minutes stretching out what amounted to just seconds worth of content. The last half of the movie, with the kids in the school, was very fractured and severely lacked cohesion.

Some comments on audience reactions:

For some reason, this movie seems to be stirring up lots of God comments. I don't really see what God has to do with all this. The whole thing about asking a victim if they believe in God before killing them is a Hollywood villain cliche. That's why the kid said it--he was a movie buff immitating his favorite Hollywood villains. Point isn't "the TV made him do it;" it's that there's no deep significance to his words--he simply parroted something he thought sounded cool.

Some people are saying everyone should be accepting of "different" people. Thing is, a big part of being different is NOT wanting to be accepted. This duo in particular railed on mainstream interests and beliefs--they believed they were smarter and better than everyone else, and self-consciously DID NOT WANT TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE MAINSTREAM! Textbook teenage rebellion, folks!

Finally, stop saying, "I don't support what these guys did, but...." There's no "but." You either find what they did excusable or you do not. Don't be a hypocrite and say you find it inexcusable then immediately turn around and start making excuses for it. If you're ashamed of your beliefs, don't spread them.

Wow, a serious flash, this is rare!

This was a great flash animation of the Columbine incident.
Although you say differently, I was still able to sympathize with the two even though I do not condone or agree and cannot justify their actions.
Their reason was sound, yet it was not enough of a sound reason to do such action.

Overall, I hate a lot of people's rating systems.
Some people rate down just because a flash is with stick characters, or it's in anime. They rate down because they don't like the style.

Well, this animation's lucidity and emptyness was another style, as there were few outlines, and the glares from light were apparent.
The graphics, therefore, receive a 10. It's a different style than usual, but it's good.

You were on target with the sound. It suited the film. Once again, people rate down because they don't like the music, instead of seeing how well it worked with the flash.

Violence was there, after all, because the story had it. That was extremely accurate.

This is a serious movie, and interactivity nor humor can take play in this rating.

I found it intriguing, and I was leaning forward just waiting for the next thing to happen.

This was a great work. Great presentation.

Perfect score.

momtom, you idiot

Okay, there is one thing I would like to say off the bat:

READ THE ARTISTS' DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU WATCH THE MOVIE!

If more people would do so, then idiots like momtom would not have to put up such stupid reviews... Momtom says that the story could have been beefed, the animation sucked, and that the whole thing was bland... Do you people not get the meaning of this movie? Its not origional, its a recount of the two Columbine student's lives and state of mind when they did it... it was not MEANT to be exciting, nor was it meant to be increadibly well written... its mostly cold, hard facts, but just retold in the Flash medium. The animation didn't have to be good, it simply gave the feeling of emptiness and incompleteness, as the authors stated.

That being said, this flash just oozes style and talent... i love it.

Not good...

Well, It was really really boring. The animation really sucked. You could have really beefed up the story by putting some explosions in at the end. so... it was OK. Next time work on your writing a little more. It was kind of bland.
