The-Great-One's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Another Day Eight]

Superb

Another Superb Flash. You have done an outstanding job once again. Your artwork has become absolutely perfect, especially with the water work, truly outstanding. Your animation work was also quite magnificent as well. And let's not forget the music... out of all the music you've chosen for the series I do believe this is the best you've chosen, I would love to hear more of Joanna Barrow's work in your Another Day series.

[Russians again?]

Nicely Done...

Your artwork and animation were very well done. Also I enjoyed the story you told. However, your skills of combining the music and voice was a little off. Now then the flash was very good, but it was way too short... if you don't mind could you please finish it?

Thanks.

[49 Days of the Week Ep.2]

Spot On... Spot On...

This series does have great potential. Although the artwork is sloppy I think it's supposed to be to give it that effect. The 49 Guy is a character that I think will make a stand here on Newgrounds. Now then your animation was well done, to be honest nothing wrong. The graphics were also pretty well done as well. However the voice acting could've been better, but it was alright for what it was.

MagicTree responds:

Thanks for the great review, the voice acting is done through a pretty shit mic and i can't afford a better one but i'll try and improve the next one

[Final Fantasy 7 -Remnant-]

Bravo... Very Impressive

Your animation work was very good. I'm not going to judge your artwork due to the fact that this was a tribute. Also your subtitles didn't actually keep up with the character's voices. I loved the music you chose for this, it really captivated the moments in this flash.

[Playing With Blocks]

Alright...

Let's start. Your concept was nice, not a bad idea and not a bad title. Your artwork was a bit sloppy, but the moving animation that supported it didn't really make it look too bad, it could've used it a bit more though. Also there was color in your title screen so why couldn't you have had color in the whole flash and not just for the blood and title screen? Also it was way too short and I didn't follow it too much. It was funny I'll give you that, but too short, some background music could've been nice as well.

[Whisper: The Movie]

...

An understanding by none is an understanding by others. Before no one can understand something they must first know that it is nothing. Your animation gave a deep understanding that no one will relate to as being the same meaning. The sound choice was also great, but your animation wasn't too colorful, but you brought everything together again.

Thanks for this uplifting review.
Much appreciated.

[Looking Up]

Classic and Funny

Revival of a classic joke... brilliant! Your animation and sound worked so good together with your great artwork as well. You've done an excellent job on this flash and we can only hope to see greater and funnier things from you within the future.

[Clock Crew Shorts]

Classic Clock Crew

These shorts were funny, but you could've had more shorts. Other than that I loved the animation and the sound was your basic Clock Crew sound effects so nothing really wrong there however judging a flash I have to keep everything fair. After viewing this flash I did enjoy it and would consider watching it again.

Pelemus-McSoy responds:

I agree, there should have been more, but the problem is I'm not a natural comedian. I came upon most of the jokes by luck, and the others I managed to pull together.

I'm thinking that if I make another (keyword: if) I'm gonna base them off some of my favourite jokes! :3

Unfortunately for the voices, though, the Clock Crew uses Speakonia, and it has low quality voices, so I could try something radical and call upon a voice actor or two for the next one.

Thanks for the thorough review!

[LoD Guild Introduction]

I Don't Quite Understand

To tell the truth I really didn't understand this flash. You said this was meant to be "an introduction for my guild (like a clan) in a game called Well of Souls." So this is basically advertising your group. I can understand wanting to advertise your group, but making a flash for just your group may have gone too far. Now then I'm giving you a five out of ten because although it is an advertisement your group could end up making some things for Newgrounds and this flash would be something nice to look back on. The sound was good and your flash skills aren't too shabby, if I were you I would seriously consider branching out your flash skills. Now then this wasn't bad, but don't do advertising ever again, I'm just telling you this for your own safety.

The-Great-One,

Firstly, thank you for being a great contributor to NG with your quality reviews. Secondly, thank you for writing a review on my relic of a flash movie that is now just a month shy of being five years old!

The intent of the flash was to original be a flash "opening" or preloader if you will, for my clans website. I did really intend for this to be a pure advertisement on NG but it was more of a way to showcase my flash abilities. Newgrounds was a very different place five years ago as you might have imagined.

Thank you for the complements on my flash ability. I truly enjoy working in flash and I wish I had the time to jump back in. However, I do the next best thing and watch others flashes and review them to get my flash fix!

Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

["Tree Of Life"]

Bravo!

The growth of a tree. How to make a flash about this is a very odd concept, but you have pulled it off. With outstanding animation and a pick of a great song I say you've really done an excellent job. I expect more great things from you in the future, great things.
