wizardman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[South Park Spree]

ugh

I'll give you credit on the fact that the sound was of very good quality, even though the theme song at the end was a bit soft. Still, thee was a huge lack of originality which hurt this flash. The graphics were mostly images cropped (somewhat poorly, but it's better than havign the white box around it), and there wasn't a whole lot of graphics or animation that you did yourself; most of it appeared to be from screenshots. I like what you did at the beginnign with the buildings and backgrounds, and it looked good at first, but it just fell apart.

[Eskimo Bob Episode:515]

Well...

This was just not a very good flash. If it was meant to be a satire, then i can kinda see where you were going with it. However, satire is meant to be more along the lines of something witty, rather than a one-panel flash that just bashes Eskimo Bob. The graphics in itself were not very good, as you just used an image for his head and a couple paintlines fo the body and background. The lack of sound and animation aso hurt this flash.

[the beginning of peggey]

o...k...

This was definitely a weird flash to understand. The graphics actually weren't too bad. I'm sure the gnome's a jpeg, but the peggeys/porcupines/whatever they were were drawn pretty well. The building and backgrounds weren't too bad either. That being said, the whole plot confused me. I think the gnome wanted to sell one of the thingies fo rmoney, so he took it to the building, then apparently killed it for some reason. After that I got confused, and I honetly don't know what you were tryign to say with your flash at all. You could've done a lot better than you did, sine you seem to at least have som eanimating talent. I would've liked ot see infinitely better tweening though.

[Die Rosie Die!]

Surprisingly good

The concept was relatively simple, those two guys just go and kill Rosie. You pulled it off very well though. The voices were perfect (since those WERE the actual voices), and although the lip sync wasn't perfect, you at least had the mouths move, which in itself is great. The graphics of the flash were also great, which the people loking realistic enough. The flash could've went longer though, since she got shot relatively quickly. Also, it just freezes up for a awhile after she gets shot, which I didn't like. This was a great flash for when it was made though.

[Dinosaurchestra]

A drop-off from the first two greats

Of course, the graphics were great, and the music was brilliantly done. That being said, this is one of those things where I can say "graphics will only take you so far". Although the concept was good, it was more boring than I was expecting. It was a nice change from your first two flashes, and you kept the nice concept, but you certainly could've went further with the idea. The Dinosaurchestra only made an appearance for a short time, and the meteor came faster than I would've liked. Your work is amazing though.

[Microsoft 2000]

?

I am almost at a loss for words in terms of how to describe this flash. I mean, really all the flash was wa sa black background, white text, and a few jokes sprinkled in, of course the jokes starting with e-something. It was disappointing to see no animation whatsoever in this flash, as well as no sound at all. I would've liked to hear a voice-over if this was supposed to be a commercial. I would've also liked to see, well, pretty muh everthing fixed up as well as some animation and/or pictures put in.

[Hampster Dance]

A very poor flash

This flash needs a huge amount of improvement to make it a good flash. The lack of real animation was very disappointing, and just using gifs and sticks as opposed to drawing real people really hurt the flash. The preloader and button at the end were nice touches, though they could have been made better. The flash itself was very short, endig only as themusic was beginnign to pick up. It felt to me like you put almost no effort into this flash, and it probably would've been better if you had worked on it a little more.

[Flash 4 Funpage]

Not bad

This was a fun little thing to play around with for a while. The crap going down the toilet was okay, but it got a little boring. I liked the code thing until I realized you could go way beyond 5 digits. You should've made it so you could only type in 5 digits and they sowed, which would trick peopl einto believing there was a possible code. The webcam thing, the finger pull, and the poking baby were all interesting. The FDA thing was cool, since it showed that you're good at drawing in flash when it's needed. Overall not too shabby.
