Product Review:
Writerbot XP in Bulletproof Monk
by Harold Spengler
17 April 2003
Bulletproof Monk is yet another successful demonstration of the formidable
abilities of the script generating software Writerbot XP. When this program
is utilized it delivers tried and true stories with familiar characters
and time proven dialogue without fail. The advanced programming underneath
the hood of this industry standard software features a sophisticated dialogue
generator that allows for the proper matching of dialogue to any of the
mathematically derived characters. This is best exemplified in the film
by the character of the murderous Nazi and his use of the line "You
really didn't think you would get away did you?" to the title character.
Story construction technology is also state of the art as evidenced in
the film by the use of the unstoppable villain who returns to life after
apparently being killed and ultimately only truly meeting his end through
a gruesome impalement. One of Writerbot's usually reliable features disappoints
though with a somewhat less than satisfying "kick to the groin"
gag that is more succesfully implemented in almost every current Hollywood
film. This feature is absolutely required in any modern script generating
software and will hopefully be used more effectively in the next script
generated by Writerbot. All in all, Bulletproof Monk is another shining
example of the predictable and dependable nature of the popular script
generation software Writerbot XP.
