A comprehensive Weazel News Review. Where Can I Watch It?Before we get into the review, it is important that you know where you can find it; should you decide it's worth your time. The movie is completely FREE to watch on YouTube. First ImpressionsOnce you start watching the movie, you're lead into a cold opening whereby you can see a teaser before the opening titles. After the opening title sequence, you're presented with a rather creepy scene whereby a man in a clown mask with an extremely chilling voice murders three people in succession before jumping into a long action scene. You're not given much information about the overall premise of the story at the start, and nothing else is explained at any point in the movie. Despite this, you can get a pretty good idea of the plot easily and it doesn't seem too complicated. PositivesThe action scenes are extremely well-shot and hectic; full of suspense and atmosphere, with the light background music really helping to create the needed atmosphere. Unlike most Grand Theft Auto movies, "TWISTED METAL (SHORT FANMADE FILM" is very good at retaining interest and making every scene full of suspense. At no point in the movie do you ever feel bored or compelled to click of the video. The plot (though based off the Twisted Metal franchise) is excellent and extremely interesting. The animations/editing is excellent, too. The opening credits and amazingly edited. In our opinions, the simple yet effective editing on this movie goes far beyond most Grand Theft Auto Movies that we review. The casting is very good and most of the characters look excellent, and the voice acting is amazing. The great use of cinematic camera-work takes this movie above most other Grand Theft Auto movies out there. There is a lot of great unforeseen surprises throughout the movie, too. An example of this is at 9:35 and there are a few more after that, too. We really like how the creators make use of off-camera action, using audio for some scenes rather than actually showing the action. An example of this is at 10:42. All of this was accomplished without the use of any mods, making it even better in our eyes. As you may know, we frown greatly on mods in Grand Theft Auto movies, and they will often receive a slightly lower rating than those without, so the fact that no mods were used in the creation of this movie makes it even more spectacular. NegativesThe AI police officers in the movie aren't suited for a movie of this kind and often stand out as not being or acting quite right. Some of the action scenes weren't 10/10 perfect, though they far outdo most Grand Theft Auto movies. We just believe that some of the scenes should've been re-shot to make them even more believable. Other than this, we don't have any other negatives to point out. The movie was amazing. Even Queen Bee's "Life Hurts", our highest rated review yet - which you can read here, had way more negatives than this.

Whether you enjoyed the movie or not, you cannot deny that TWISTED METAL (SHORT FANMADE FILM) has character, voice acting and cinematic motions that most other Grand Theft Auto movies just can't contend with. This is the best review that we have ever given to a movie. The only review we have ever given which beats this is Queen Bee's "Life Hurts". You can read the review of her album here. The creators want to make another Twisted Metal parody movie in the future, only a full-length 2 hour long one. Who knows? Maybe that will take our number 1 spot. Other Reviews"This is amazing is very well done managed to capture exactly twisted metal and put it on GTA V you can see the work they did to make this fan film will be perfect" - Jorge Uriel Bernal Chavez But what did YOU think of this movie?

We are unsure of whether or not the voice acting was done by the persons involved in the making of this movie or if they took the voice from the Twisted Metal series.
