videogamer0810's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[RWD: 010 Mario12]

I'm still baffled how this made the front page.

I will be honest: I think there must have been a mix-up with adding new flash to the front page, because there is little about this flash which actually makes it stand out from any other average submission.

Now before you pass this off as another "WTF THIS SUX" type of review, I want you to know that I understand the message that the submission is trying to convey: that originality on Newgrounds is dead, and the online community eats up the generic shit like Sonic vs. Mario. The idea behind this was to lure countless people to your flash with an overdone premise, and spring on everybody something completely different and, maybe, creative.

However, this does not change the fact that the flash submitted here is not creative, and is no more than a short loop with no plot whatsoever. The animation and drawing style are above average, but that alone does not make a flash good. The music you used was somewhat annoying, and the song is not synchronized with the animation (although it seems that way at first). You didn't even take the time to get the music to loop with the animation, so at a certain point the music cuts out and doesn't restart.

Overall, this flash did not show a considerable amount of effort, and the "message" behind it didn't improve the submission as a whole. I won't act like a total faggot and shun your work just because it wasn't as advertised, and I will acknowledge the fact that the quality of the animation that takes place is good, but the entire package is just sub-par in my eyes.

[VNC southpark parody]

Good... for just an intro.

The music finishes 5 seconds before the animation ends, though.

Brihi24 responds:

yea. its just a beta.
thanks man tho.

[Let's Walk]

Umm... wow.

That was... very odd. I don't really know what to say about this except... nice job? A very surreal experience, to say the least. The tweening was a little rough, but well done for a 10+ hour project. The whole package is indescribable, but in a good way.

(Man, I think I'm going to have some fucked up dreams after watching this.)

Soundshifter responds:

well thx for your input and analysis. much appreciated :)

[Zelda: Navi's Advice]

The audio quality is not great.

And since the flash relies entirely on a dialogue-based joke, this is a debilitating flaw. The background music makes it almost impossible to hear Navi talking. Then, when the music cuts out, Navi starts talking in a demonic voice which is almost impossible to understand.
On top of all this, the entire flash is only about 15 seconds long, so there's nothing particularly memorable about this flash. I gave you a 2/5 because you made some effort, but you have to make your flashes a lot longer if you want to stand out from the crowd. Or, if you prefer to make one-joke flashes like these, you have to make absolutely sure that the delivery of the punchline is perfect.

PossiblyClever responds:

Yeah, I know the audio isn't perfect, but it is only my second flash animation. I'll be sure to make improvements in later submissions.

[A Few Hundred Lives]

I don't get it.

I just don't understand the joke. If it's an inside joke, then maybe you need to take the time to explain it to the rest of us. In terms of pacing, the text lingered on the screen way too long, and the whole thing felt rather sluggish. Also, towards the end, the movie becomes extremely slow and choppy. Maybe you should fix these playback problems and resubmit an updated version or something.

Elite-Sniper responds:

BURN IN HELL MOTHERFUCKER GO SUCK YOUR DAILY LOAD OF PRISON COCK AND DIE IN A ROTTING COFFIN YOU BASTARD'S BITCH! YOU ARE JUST A BIOLOGICAL MISTAKE, I DIDN'T WEAR A RUBBER WHEN PUNISHING YOUR MOTHER. FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER! BURN IN HELL! Fuck you spammer! Keep your bullshit off of newgrounds!

[Random Flash II]

It's a shame it's not funny.

Randomness does not automatically equate to hilarity? Who knew?

The problem is, without any sort of context, like a Yu-Gi-Oh episode or such, randomness is not funny. It just fails when it stands alone. So next time, find some TV episode, movie clip, or the like, and base all of your randomness off of that. Trust me, the result will be much funnier.

RiceMonkey responds:

So, you mean like a parody? Or like Robot Chicken? With like tiny little stories to go along with them... hmmm, I might try that in III (if I make it) Thanks for your time! :)

[whopper freakout]

Not bad.

You shoud've let "Through the Fire and Flames" continue playing until the end.
Also, the flash zooms in when you hit "Replay".

Nice first, though.

UnderARock responds:

Yeah, I shouldve if I didnt want that scream in there, but it woulda saved me some trouble. :)
I was too lazy to fix the replay, but definatly something ill not let happen on my next one.

[Mastermind 2]

I love you.

Platonically, of course. I love your flash, especially this series. Mastermind could possibly be greater than Blockhead, and knowing how your submissions tend to get better and better as time marches on, I'd say it's a definite possibility. So don't let us down.

[Our Aeipathy]

What just happened here??

This movie did not convey a coherent story, let alone 3 million words. I have no idea what the plot was supposed to be. All I got was: some bad people came in and wanted to kill a father and son. They escaped, the boy finds something which turns him into a monster, the father snaps him out of it, and the bad woman walks into the room. Seriously, WTF?

But since you obviously tried to make a good flash, I'll give you a 2/5 for the effort. Not blammable, but not great either.

skarl3tte responds:

Sorry, I should have explained that it is part of another story thing, so most people here on NG won't understand it. but i should have made it more clear, you're right. It's partly because I got lazy and I knew I wouldn't get a chance to work on it again for maybe a month or so because of school (it's my 1st year of high school and I'm not doing so good) and I wanted to get it done.

and the 3 million words thing was just a joke. =P

Thank you, all critique is helpful. =]

[- Move Your Feet -]

That was sweet.

Reminds me very much of the video from DDR.
I also saw characters from Taiko Drum Master. I didn't think anybody else knew about that game.

Very, very well done.
