Plot wise - not great for me.
SPOILERS
You had a great premise - could they put Humpty back together again after all?
The nature of his demise - the falling semi was just too over the top for me and kind of spoiled what was a unique and clever premise

Great title. This was quite amusing. Kept thinking of comic panels when reading it. It reminded me of far-out children shows like 'Bananaman'. But it might need a lot more than one page to properly convey its premise. |

Like the first section of this, but then it felt disjointed and lost me by the end. |

I'm not sure about this one. I didn't get the feel a story actually occurred. More like a serious of events. |

This one was a no-go for me. I felt like the semi-truck scene at the playground was shoehorned in to make it "action" and include a "superhero". The logline, and the title, tell me the story is about a superhero egg. Not an egg that happens to turn into a superhero at the end of the script, and does absolutely nothing superhero-ish in the entire script, even when he tries to pull Timmy out of the way. |

I got lost on a one page script. Not a good sign. I ran through the nursery rhyme a couple times in my head and couldn't really connect all the dots. Valiant effort, for sure. |

Oh, you have to keep the beginning (about half-page) and do something with it. It was amazing up until the robot Humpty. Was he a robot or not by the way? Not sure. Still, the beginning was so great that I won't be scant with my rating on this one. |

So I loved the discription of Humpty, and the "he's an egg" line.
Was confused by the semi falling from the sky.
It's not to bad. |

Had a few chuckles through this, I'm surprised you didn't list it as a comedy.
It was a pretty good read. |

Couldn't agree more with you. I totally got it. I laughed a few times. I thought it was solid. I'm giving this a 4. It has a story, rushed, but that's due to the page limit. You got a lot cramped in there. Dan |

Iron Egg: Origins
Strange title - I like. Re Humpty's first description – I wouldn't be so humorous there. Better be clear from the outset that he actually is an EGG. The idea of an egg-shaped character for an Easter sketch, children show, is great imo. I don't fully enjoy the story though. It's all a bit too big and erratic for me. Still some points from me for a unique idea of a fresh character. 3 |

The idea carries this script. An absurd idea, yes, but that's kind of the point. People have mentioned the semi and a few other things, and I don't disagree. But I think the script succeeds on its own terms and is not meant to be anything more than a minute of silly fun. |

This is the best one I've read so far. It has a beginning, middle and end. It's a complete story. With multiple scenes in a one-page script, and a clever idea / premise.
I'm definitely going to give it at least a 4, however I think I'm going to read a few more before I decide if I want to grade it on a curve and give it a 5. |
