The-Great-One's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Thousand Frames]

Majestic In It's Own Way

It was as if the pages of a person's notebook were turning before my eyes. The randomly drawn doodles interacting through the notebook. Your animation ran quite smoothly and it your choice of how to use random moments was very good. Your artwork was also great for this type of flash and the music choice was superb.
You've done an excellent job on this flash.

blackcat2000 responds:

Doodles... *drool*
If the moments seemed random, would it explain it if I said I made them up as I animated? ;)
The music was chosen because initially i just wanted to keep the file small, so I chose a loop, and it happened to fit... so i stuck with it! Thanks for the review! :)

[Joey's Bright Idea]

Reminded Me Of Something...

This reminded me of Ren and Stimpy. The classic cartoon comedy which isn't overboard, but just enough humor to keep you entertained. The animation was superb as well as the artwork. The sound was masterful! The story was great as well. You have done a fantastic job!

I Don't Get It

Your animation was okay and your stick figure artwork was nice as well, but everything else was just pictures. Your story lacked... well everything! There was nothing! This could've been funny, serious, something, but it wasn't this truly was nothing.

|| Good Points ||
*Okay Artwork
*Okay Animation

*No Sound
*Terrible Story
*What Is This?

dooseyboy responds:

there is no story think of it as....
temporary art.
much like "smile or die" or something along the lines of

[TANKMEN: The Musical!]

Pretty Good...

I like the first music scene, it was funny, the second one when I heard the music I was expecting something more funny than what you presented, it was good, but there should've been more. The last scene was a bit pitiful really... I don't know why you chose such a hard song to work with, it was basically nothing to tell the truth. Your animation was greatly done, but I'm not going to give you points for artwork since it wasn't yours.

SockMyDink responds:

Thanks for the well constructed review.

I know I kinda got lazy on the last scene.

Thanks for the good points, and I'll definately work on a longer, better number 2!

[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?

|| Good Points ||
*Superb Artwork
*Superb Animation
*Great Story

|| Bad Points ||
*Voice Acting and Music Not Balanced
*Too Short

Dew responds:

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.

|| Good Points ||
*Very Funny
*Great Animation
*Good Artwork

|| Bad Points ||
*Voice Acting

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

[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.

|| Good Points ||
*Good Animation
*Great Artwork
*Super Story

|| Bad Points ||
*Animation Could've Used More Work

Night-Ranger responds:

Thanks for this uplifting review.
Much appreciated.

[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.

|| Good Points ||
*Funny
*Good Sound
*Great Animation

|| Bad Points ||
*More Shorts
*The Voice (I have to be fair to other flashes)

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.

zimzap responds:

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.

[The NG Rules]

Doesn't Seem Like Months and Months of Labor

First off this is a great idea and could be quite useful, but what you need is to give it more flare to it. Make it more colorful, more shiny! Also a pause button wouldn't hurt either and pictures would also give this greatness as well. You're on the right track you just need to spruce it up.

|| Good Points ||
*Great Idea
*Superb Sound

|| Bad Points ||
*Needs More
*Pause Button Is Essential Need

Nomader responds:

Don't worry. If I ever do make another installment, it'll be quality over crap. I think. :D

I'll try to add the buttons in... it's been a rather large criticism from most of the reviewers here, so I'll see if I can fix it by the next installment.

Thanks for the review!
