The-Great-One's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[- Rain -]

Oooh I Love A Rainy Night

Your artwork and animation are quite superb I must say. The details on the characters are wonderful. The sound itself and having it sync with the raindrops is just masterful. The only thing I don't get is the story itself, I'm not sure what was going on or even what the point was. It was a very beautiful flash, but the story seems to have holes in it.

[Pokemon Hunter]

Gotta Catch'em All!

Your artwork and animation were both brilliantly superb. I commend you on this. As for the sound choice I think you could've made a better choice in honesty something a little less generic also you didn't even have sound effects for the pokemon's attacks. I did enjoy how you showed the HP for the Pokemon, but just saw this battle as all one sided. The story was short and this seemed more like the beginning of a series than a stand alone flash submission. I enjoyed this submission and would love to see it turned into a series.

[Ghost Motel 3]

Exorcist Meets Ghost Motel

This episode was not only comical here and there, but it was also interesting. The artwork and animation on the demons was wonderful and like the ghosts not as cliched as I thought they'd be. I saw a little more background history of the ghost world in this episode which I liked. However the background sound "Look" wasn't appealing, to be honest it was quite bland. The voice work this time around has improved quite well, but their was still a scratch here or there, but not as bad as the first episode. All in all the series is growing more and I can only wonder where it'll go next.

Thanks once again :)

[Ghost Motel 2]

Demons Are Scallywags

Well the story is still building slowly which is good I like a story that slowly builds. These first two parts are more prologues than anything else. The introduction of a new character is also quite nice. The sound is still good, the blood sucking sound wasn't all that great, but that theme song is just so good! The voices are a bit better this time around, but could've used more work. All in all it's a good story that I enjoy seeing be built.

[The Dangers of Music]

I Don't Know

What happened? The artwork was great and the animation was good, your sound though was good as well, but the story, what happened? Where is the humor? This was nothing more than a failed attempt at slapstick or some kind of weird comedy. It could be because its too short and not a lot is here, but that's really no excuse. You should actually work harder on your flash works instead of just a few hours, if you can do this in a few hours then you could've had something great in a few days. You have potential, but failed to show it.

Thanks for the in-depth review. I kinda needed to finish something quickly, just to boost my confidence, in a way..

Tragedy - Interpretation

There are many ways somebody can interpret or put this movie into some sort of perspective. I watched it twice just to make sure I understood everything that was going on and it certainly is an odd story, one that makes sense, but it is an odd story. The artwork and animation were both superb. The sound was also superb, something innocent and calm for a sad scene instead of sad music. The story I believe is odd, but what I see I think is a love triangle I could be wrong though. I think the story can be put to anyone's interpretations of it. As for voice work, the voices were superb as well.

25 Years of Tetris

The artwork was great, when it came down to a stick figure and tetris blocks. The animation and sound were superb, they were both in sync. The story was simple, but you probably could've experimented more with it besides just a robot and the stick figure just jumping up the Tetris blocks, you didn't make it exactly make it a challenge for the stick figure. However overall it's a great flash certainly enjoyable.

Thank you...I love detailed reviews

[Dev Short: FWA]

Pretty Good

Your artwork and animation are both quite good. You got the lip-sync perfectly. Using one of the Songs To Wear Pants to was a nice idea, but I think you could've made a better choice. I'm sure there are longer songs to choose from. However I would like to see you take a shot at another song, something a bit longer.

[Paper's edge]

Wonderful

This is probably the best stop-motion animation I've seen on Newgrounds in a long time. The artwork and animation were superb, you detailed everything quite well throughout the entire flash, I especially loved the rocket that blew up wonderful animation on that. The sound was also quite superb, sound effects for the movements of the stick figure and the rocket would have killed the mood of the flash. The story was superb, but nothing too special even for a random flash. All in all I enjoyed the journey you took us on in this flash and I can't wait to see more.
