spartacusxerox's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Leaf and Autumn]

I love this

I'm a Christian and this is exactly what I feel about the life to come - much better than this one :) I encourage anyone who doesn't know what happens to them after they die that if you believe in Jesus then you will live forever! This I know to be true! :D

[Little Wing.]

Little Wings, Flour Sacks, Flying, and the Dark

Hey Haizeel, also known as akoRn, this is my verdict on your flash:

- Creativity/Originality -
Very creative and original. I liked your idea of the sack and its dream to fly, and then the ambition finally being realised with some sort of negative aftertaste to it. I mean, he's lost all his flour. Reminds me of this short called Kiwi, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5 FdySs

- Soul -
The soul is a dark one, with a sort of dark ending, Isee that this is reflective of your journey in life, constantly searching for your dream. You want to fly, perhaps not physically, but metaphorically, you want to be free. I find my freedom in Jesus Christ, except there is no emptiness involved in order to fly. I have to empty myself of pride though.

- Entertainment -
It is quite entertaining, the art is, in a word, stunning. Fantastic art, especially the animation of the birds, is overwhelming. Really great watching this.

- Professionalism -
As I said, the art is amazing. The total package of your idea is immaculately created, you're a true pro, and you're gonna get paid, as we can see. Once you get this degree, just go for your life with this animating thing.

- Reviewer's Tilt -
Pretty good, but I personally like happy tales not dark ones. Because I believe it ended a bit too soon. But you did well for the purpose that it achieved. Well done, and thanks for letting me watch.

akoRn responds:

wow, thats an amazing review. Thank you so much! And yes, no deny, I did inspired from Kiwi. Thank you. This should be 1 of my most serious effort put into a flash animation.. I never actually try to put too much effort on animation graphic, but this turn out well, and insyaAllah, I will keep it up.

Thx again! :D

[John Madden Commentary 2]

Dodge, Tinactin, Boom!, yellow and Brett

Hey guys, Fro, Thanks for letting me watch your cool Flash.

- Creativity/Originality -
This submission is a sequel/follow-up to an older submission. It's a parody of the voice mannerisms of John Madden. It's a good idea, not a new idea, but one that you've modified well. A new creation, the origins of which came from your apparent amusement at his voice. The result is very new and brand-spanking. Tough actin' Tinactin.

- Soul -
The soul of your flash is a mocking one. But one that is mocking in fun, as in you probably watch football. The animation is simple, yet it's not about the fluency of the animation that appeals. It's your voice and its variances, and how the pictures react to what you say. I watched a few John Madden clips after this, and saw the "bootleg" one on Youtube. "Boom!"

- Entertainment -
I must say - very funny. I live in New Zealand and here American Football isn't watched that much, ESPN is a minor channel. We're more into rugby and cricket, you know, the English sports. Because we're part of the Commonwealth. But I knew the name Madden because of the game franchise that was named after him. So obviously the legend lives on. D-d-d-d-d-d-dodge.

- Professionalism -
You are a long-living member of NG, Fro, and very experienced. The art of professionalism is being able to get away with as little as possible. I think Andy Warhol said that. They did a survey who could tell his art apart from a monkey's and most got it wrong. With you, this is nowhere near a monkey's work, but you've still got away with it, and that's a piece of art. Because it's your flair that counts, not just show or detail. It's a yellow one. 'Coz it was yellow.

- Reviewer's Tilt -
I sort of liked this, actually. Very nice voice, Will/Nick. I can see you guys put a bit of effort into this. But anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for letting me watch. Brett's getting married.

God, your review is like poetry. I just love reading it.

[Err, a monster?]

The Green Monster is Your Mom

Hey there ZeroGravity. Thank you for letting me watch your short flash, I enjoyed it.

-CREATIVITY/ORIGINALITY-
Very creative, very original. You were creating something new and original that I haven't seen before, well done. The origins were something from a different planet, for reals. I like your style of art, the simplicity of the animation, etc. very cool. Big ups for creativity.

-SOUL-
The soul of your animation was not conveyed so much, however. It wasn't very efficient that the green monster was labelled as 'your mom'. I ultimately recognised that this was an attempt to be funny for funny's sake. But then, I realised that perhaps you see your own mum as a monster, a big green monster that eats you alive. I gave you benefit of doubt for that, points. Overall, not too much soul here.

-ENTERTAINMENT-
I was quite entertained, but not rolling on the floor laughing. It was quite a nice short and sweet animation, and made me smile, but no rib-buster. You could have improved it by adding in more jokes, again length was a problem here. But it was funny, by all means, you can take that to the bank.

-PROFESSIONALISM-
I thought this was very professional indeed. The drawings were great, sound was perfect. The only drawback was that it didn't have a replay button, so that I had to refresh it in order to have a 2nd look (which I prefer to, since it was so short). A replay button would be much-loved, but the play button was simple and professional, nothing too much was shabby or out of line. Well done.

-REVIEWERS TILT-
I give this a low score because I felt it was too short to begin with. I would like to see a longer submission, definitely. In my opinion. Short is sweet, but too short is just not enough. More substance would definitely be much accepted. Thank you for letting me watch your flash, it was great.

[For Nuts and Glory]

Great job

Great animation, small file size (only 3MB!!!) I think people have very little patience when it comes to films. I mean, the problem with most movies nowadays is that everything is too fast and accessible. The greatest films are mostly 3-hour feature films, e.g. the Godfather (my favourite). I think this is a good example of pacing in film on NG. Gj.

[Goku VS. Part 1]

It's pretty alright

Pros:
Fun to watch
Short and sweet

Cons:
Too short
Want more
Maybe put a bit more in
Perhaps make a little bit longer
Increase the length
Greater duration
More stuff
Bigger

[At The Office]

If by fired, you mean a magician!

Really funny flash, you gotta love this

MyKindOfFlash responds:

Really good review, I totally love you.

[Dailybee #011]

...

this was horrible. Actually a 1 for the song though. it's actually quite funny. "o golly gee" but other than that horrible

[What's in the Block?]

I thought this was great

Quite funny, very well done animation... i like the coin one. Humour could have been better utilised, though, but overall good quality animation.

[Here Goes Nothing!]

AWWWW CRACK UP

"I LoVE U."
-_- "Yeh sure."

XD I was loling for like 15 seconds. And that's an achievement worthy of any 360.

Sabtastic responds:

hah thanks. :3
