[B&W Drama Theater #13]

Very funny stuff

I found this to be surprisingly good - I loved the whole graphical style and storyline - it was funny and ridiculous in concept yet very believable at the same time. Good to see that things without tons of violence can still be successful at NG, I'm off to watch the rest now. Cracking stuff.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 5]

Sets things up nicely

A more laid back episode in terms of action, concentrating on telling us about the plot (which is good) and setting things up nicely for the (hopefully coming soon) final episode. It won't make a great deal of sense unless you've seen the previous Joe Zombie episodes though. Good stuff, can't wait for the conclusion.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 4b]

Excellent conclusion to the episode

I'd give the episode a 9 overall for the two parts combined - this segment had less action (but still a fair bit of action in any case) but more plot development. It was all very cinematic as well, some excellent choices of music and sounds. Sets things up very well for JZ5.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 4a]

Better stuff

This was better than #3 - there's more action, some good choices of music and some cool graphical effects - I loved the explosion in the building, it looked fantastic. A fine return to form, shame the episode had to be split into two.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 3]

Not as good as previous episodes

I didn't think this episode was as good as the last two - it was lacking somewhat in plot progression and didn't have enough going on to keep me that interested. Still a decent effort technically but the content was down a notch.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 2]

More zombie fun

A very good continuation of JZ episode 1 - lots of cool violence and a fine soundtrack. The animation is strong as well. I thought the first one was a little better, but that doesn't mean this isn't a fine piece of flash work.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 1]

A great improvement over the old JZ

Having just watched the original Joe Zombie episodes, I can say this is a hell of a big improvement. The addition of voices and more sounds adds a lot to the movie, and the improved graphics and lengthened story make this a joy to watch.

[Original JZ Episode3]

Best of the originals

This is better than the first two of the original episodes - there's more humour, more action and it just seems better to watch. A good amount of stick violence, nice.

[Original JZ Episode2]

OK

I thought it was slightly better than episode 1 - it was a bit more interesting, had cleaner sounds and the visuals were about the same. It was still on the short side, but it had a little bit more violence in it. If you liked the first one you'll like this one, and vice versa.

[Original JZ Episode1]

Er, it was OK

It's not too bad, I thought it was a little on the short side, didn't have great graphics and the sounds were sketchy. The movie didn't have much of a storyline either. I suppose it was the original series in fairness. Alright but nothing special.
