wizardman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["7"]

Interesting idea

The animation itself wasn't really a big deal. It was well-animated, yet the graphics seemed to lack something. It was also a lot shorter than I was expecting. At the same time, I liked the idea of basing the flash off of theaudio rather than the other way around, and subsequently showing less commonly seen audio entries. Those audio entries were fun to listen to, which was most likely the goal of this flash.

SeizureDog responds:

The goal of the Flash was to work on something I knew I would be able to finish :P

Big projects are so bothersome.

[Perspective XTC-01]

Fun

This flash was fun to watch. It was surprisingly simple, yet complicated and deep at the same time. The music worked with the flash and the lines, even though I didn't care for the delay between the start of the flash and the actual perspective part. I like the parts that were physically impossible. It's what mkes perspective fun.

[Agents of man REVISED]

Very flawed

Not sure what to say that hasn't been said by Xiivi, but I'll try. The very first thing that needs to be changed is that you need to at least double your FPS. The animation was way too choppy at what looked like 6 frames a second, which is not nearly enough. The parts with the guy were cool, and had a surreal feel to them (the head was well made, as were the hands, but the bodies just looked odd). Half the movie was shape tweening words, which there was no need for. I see effort in parts of this, but it could've been a lot better.

[Mario Short#1]

Uh, ok...

This flash was confusing. Mario attacking Koopas, while not necessarily original, was animated well, and it was fun to see Mario beat them up. Once Luigi appeared, and he said "surprise" I have no idea what was happening. Was there some sort of Koopa line for Marios' birthday, or was it something random that went right over my head? I would've liked to see something more though. Oh, and I like the way you did the buttons.

swiftstylerX responds:

It was Mario's Birthday Party... they were all just coming to surprise him... I'm afraid he was a little TOO surprised, lol.

Thanks for the review.

[Service Announcement]

True

One of my biggest pet peeves are people that use all caps in reviewing and write one-liners, whether the reviews are good or bad. Of course, keep in mind that many views of flash probabyl come from people without accounts, but even if that was included, there would still be a disproportionate vote-to-view ratio. Great animation, good point, and a great rant make for a good review score. I felt liek you didn't talk abotu the review sector of things enough. You mention reviews and voting as problems, and 95% of the rant was on blamming and voting. It's not bad, just a little misleading to me. Good flash.

stoners-lunchbox responds:

True. Still, i'll keep that in mind for next time i rant about something. Thanks for watching!

[Go Cloud Go!]

Not a bad attempt

The graphics looked a lot like a mix between LegendaryFrog and Madness, so I assume that's what you were going for. The lines were a lot thicker than I would've liked, but it wasn't too bad. The scene changes with the orange lines were interesting and fun to watch. The flash felt a little slow paced to me, though, even though I liked the level ups that kept popping up. Of course, having a tonberry in the flash makes it a lot better.

[Avoiding Blamnation (HNT)]

Fun to watch.

To me, this felt more like a slideshow than a flash, so I can't give you a great rating. That being said, I enjoyed watching it for what it is. People who submit lousy flashes are one of the main problems on Newgrounds, especially when they think they're awesome. I liked the music and the font choice, yet the flash felt a little boring at times.
I'd like to see you have an HNT (may I ask what that stands for?) flash on the Barney Bunch. That'll get you a pretty high score, as it has a lot of do with lousy flashes, abusive reviews, and all the stuff you're covering.

JujubeLock responds:

The "How Not to" series is not something that is supposed to target any particular group, and I'm not very fond of NG politics.

[HNT: Abusive Reviews]

Nice flash, gets the point across.

I usually don't care for clock/lock/glock/whatever flashes unless they're good. I can't say this was a great flash, as it was little more than Jujube lock and different backgrounds and text. However, it was good considering what the flash is. The way it was done was good, and made it funny. The analogies you used were awesome, such as the police officer and the pile of shit. Even though i don't like the sound of locks, the music was nice. I agree that abusive reviews are annoying, yet my whistle seems to like them.

JujubeLock responds:

You usually don't care for a kind of flash unless its good? Doesn't that statement seem redundant to you? Shouldn't it just be you don't like a flash unless its good?

[Matrix Spoof E-Card]

Funny little flash.

It was a pretty short flash, yet e-cards are kinda supposed to be short, so I'll let you off the hook :P. The animation was good, as were the graphics. I didn't expect that at the end though. I always like to see unexpected humor that's nto just overused fart jokes. It's good for the kind of flash it is, yet I'm not sure what the point of the flash was. I'm just going to assume it was simply a humor e-card of sorts.
