wizardman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cigaro]

Interesting

Well, the flash was fairly enjoyable. Nice music, and the sprites mouths moved well. I wasn't a fan of the lack of unique animation; it was prety much the same few sprites the whole time. The lollerskates and the rest of that stuff was funny though.

Review response +1

Well, the lip sync wasn't too good, but people seemed to like it. Thanks wizardman.

[The_House]

Okay

The graphics weren't too bad, even though it lacked anything much besides the up and down movements. It was pretty much boring until he end, when the whole concept was figured out. Showing the house added some humor to this flash that it seemed to need. It felt like it was done pretty well, and I'm not sure where you could've added extra scenes or anything (which is good).

Utterly-Moot responds:

Thanks. I know its not a GREAT joke, but its JUST a joke, no more no less. Newgrounds doesnt seem to like Short animations, but im not diluting my jokes with pointless scenes or drag them out just to be longer. I'm glad you enjoyed it . (and im lazy animator, so up and down animations and masks are easier than lip syncing lol)

[Blockhead: Episode 4]

Awesome

This series is awesome. This was the perfect episode, the way this series should be done. The intro was funny, and Blockhead celebrating halloween was hilarious. He finds out that the old guy is his conscience, and he's still confused. Can't really find anything wrong with this flash.

The-Swain responds:

I do a lot of redundant drawing in each episode instead of reusing objects and animations from previous episodes (or even scenes). It's a huge amount of work, but I think that maybe it pays off. In future projects I may recycle images and use a lot more tweening, but never with B-to-the-H. His series is gonna stay pure for as long as I'm doing it.

And I thank you for your observation; it's good to hear that, instead of doing something right, I might have actually gotten away with doing absolutely nothing wrong. That's tremendously hard!

(And I'm elated that you are enjoying the series!)

[Flicker Book]

Compress your Audio

This had no reason to be almost 5 megs. A simple audio compression would've knocked it down to 1. As for the flash itself, it was an interesting concept. I would've liked an option to watch a couple of them combined, but it was still okay. I would've liked more options though, which wou would've been able to do after an audio compression.

Mobbsy responds:

kk ill work on it

[Blockhead: Episode 2]

Awesome

This becoming my favorite new series. Awesome concept and sound. I'm not a fan of the brush technique being used on the houses, but it still looks awesome. Only Blockhead can get that excited over tongs. I mean, they're cool, but still.

The-Swain responds:

The "painted" look is to make often-used backgrounds look like the ones you'd see in 70s/80s cartoons. The bright colors for Blockhead are there for the same reason. I don't know why, but I decided that I won't use them in the pre-intro sections of the movie, though.

[TerrariumTank]

Wow

Very unique flash. The graphics were amazing, and the lack of color made it better. The lack of voices also made it better, for that matter. The music fit the flash perfectly. i didn't really understand the flash at first, but with all the animation going on and the rather interesting story unfolding, i didn't feel the need to figure out details. It felt almost too artsy, but it might just be my tastes in flash not being up to par. I hope to see more flashes from you.

ShadowVengance responds:

thanks a lot, I'm very glad you found it "deep" heh. I tried recording some voices, but they really didn't fit, and I prefered just not to use any. I hope my future flashes will please you just as much.

[Why cant I fly?]

Very flawed, but i enjoyed it.

You need to compress your audio. Badly. That'll probably cause this to be blammed which, despite the shortness of this flash, would be a shame. Something about this flash was really cool, and it was very different from the stuff you see on Newgrounds.

AdamJack responds:

Thanks you for the comment. Ill try and make my next flash longer.

[Cosby's Revenge]

Funny

It was painfully slow, and the fact that it took up only a quarter of the screen was annoying. The lack of sound make it bad though. Mario RPG battle music combined with that would've been awesome. Jello = instant win.

ViceFullbuster responds:

Jello is all that is needed to make this a winner.

[Dr.Wily's Robot Museum]

Well...

There were a lot of robots. It was interesting to watch all of them so by. They all had their weaknesses, and that may be why Mega Man has evaded Dr. Wily's grasp.

ViceFullbuster responds:

Wily was a fool,Weil pwns. XD

[XTC Xtreme]

This one was actually enjoyable.

It was just pics moving around a lot, at least that's what i thought. But I looked into it deeper, and saw the poorly done, yet creative background. I also saw the 2 pictures expressign their feelings by moving in just the right way. Osama, the clock, and the donkey were all peculiarly enjoyable in their own ways.

ViceFullbuster responds:

I would have to say this is my best one. =)
