wizardman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Forever Lost]

Weird...

I was pretty confused by what was going on. It was aesthetically pleasing, but it didn't really make any sense. The loading screen was cool, but it kept going well after the movie finished loading, making waiting a little bit annoying.The snow falling and the music were pretty cool. You could've done a lot more with this, though. It felt more like a base for a good flash than a flash in itself.

[Blobbles- ep. 4]

My personal favorite so far.

First off, I was almost disappointed in the sound quality, but then I just realized that I needed to turn the volume up. It was fine after that. Again, nice graphics and addition of purple. The frying pan (or just plain pan :P) was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It was pretty unexpected and just great humor. Anything that has that in it i'll gladly see more of.

JonBro responds:

Well, in BLOBBLES: FAT OF THE LAND, there will be more pan action (I hope)! If you like it, more will (try to) come.

Thanks!

[Blobbles- ep. 3]

A little confused...

This was another great short in the blobbles series. Smooth animation, good voices, a lot of blue, etc. I was kinda confused about why the mustard was green, and did he fall in a trash bin on the way down or did he suddenly become rigid? It was fun to watch, but it didn't feel at good as the first 2.

JonBro responds:

1- The mustard was green because in the Blobbles world, yellow's not aloud, publically (or outside of a house).
2- That was a trash bin. Didn't you see that trash?

...and
THANKS!

[Blockhead: Episode 5]

Awesome

Now all you need is daily 2nd place and you'll have all 5 ^_^.
Seriously though, you're great with animation and graphics. It wasn't quite as funny as I was expecting, but it was still cool. Loved the bus part, but the conscience-blockhead dialogue didn't feel right for some reason. Is it just me, or is the conscience loosely based off of Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force? or am I crazy?

The-Swain responds:

I do agree that not every episode can be a winner (though 5th place out of all the flashes submitted in one day is still an incredible thing to be awarded, even if i put twice as much work into this episode as Ep.4 :( so sad).

As for Karl, he was not the inspiration for the Conscience, but I do like hearing that comparison - Karl is an awesome, funny character, and I think it's great that my guy can be put on the same pedestal of judgement.

I promise that the next Blockhead release will blow the others away. That is my solemn vow. I am planning on a two-part, fifteen- to twenty-minute release that will be so totally absurd that maybe your head will explode, too. Count on it!

[Barnyard Shenanigans(old)]

Good, but could've been better.

The sporadic humor and the random gunshots worked wonders for this flash. Not only was it funny, but having some random things at the end made this flash good. You could've used some drawn animals instead of pics though, as it would've made this better. I would've liked to see more acts as well.

[Revenge 2: The deadening]

First one was better.

Looking back on it, I should've rated the first one higher, since it was a lot better than this one. The graphics were nice, but somewhat choppy. Again, some voice acting would've made this a lot better. The blood didn't look a lot like blood, but at least the violence was slightly realistic. It was definitely pointless in adding to the first flash though.

[SCREW YOU AP]

Terrible and Pointless

Why you even bothered posting this on Newgrounds, I don't know. It was nothing more then a single shape tween. The words "screw you" and "ap" moving back and forth (and you never say exactly what AP is) does not make a good flash. The black and white was pointless as well, but I'll give you a little bit of sympathy for actually having a background.

[Kill Crazy Rampage part 2]

couldn't have been much worse

I liked the occasional humor you put in this flash. It was stale and repetitive, but at least it existed. There wa no animation or sound in this flash, and some was sorely needed. The graphics were okay at best, and the lack of background and a body for the main character messed this flash up even more.

[Stupid Jedi]

Lousy

The flash had no sound except for a couple snippets at the end. If you had put sound in the whole flash, it would've been better. The graphics weren't too bad, but the animation could've been a lot better. At the same time, you could've at least shown the teacher instead of using thought bubbles. The blood was average as well, since at least it splatteered a bit, even if it looked kind of ugly.
