The-Great-One's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[RUSH.]

Beautiful and Comical

The artwork in this is quite superb, capturing a lowly city of life and I'm guessing a child's reactions to the city. The animation on this character is also superb, seeing him cross the street isn't hilarious, but it is funny and you also wonder what would happen if he got hit by the car, however watching him just fall into the manhole makes it even funnier. Which wraps up into a truly masterful story, you're on the edge of your seat, but at the same time you're chuckling to yourself, which is use of great artwork and wonderful storytelling. The small bit of music and sound effects combined were both superb, it was simplistic yet made you feel as if you were there with him.

Great to hear that you liked the sound effects because that was the stuff I was most worried about people not liking it.

[Nyx Quote: Death]

Interesting

Well the artwork is good, what artwork is here anyways. The music was an interesting choice, but I'm not sure what it's about or what is really going on in the flash. The animation is actually great, everything moved quite well, but it is such a short flash and what did move wasn't spectacular. The story... well I don't know if there was a story being told or not. This flash confused the hell out of me, but overall for you first it was okay.

["EXTINCT"]

A Small Story

The artwork and animation are both masterful. I really have to give you credit on both of those, the style and movements of the cat and the butterfly are just wonderful. The world in which they live in is breathtaking all on it's own. The sound effects were masterful as well, being as simplistic as needed be, but giving attention to detail as well as being quirky when not needing to be, but to envoke the cuteness that this flash intended on doing. The music is masterful as well, going perfect with each emotion and setting nicely. The story is masterful as well, but confusing at the most. This seems like one of those flash movies you interpret the meaning of like another flash on Newgrounds entitled -IF-. Overall this flash is an astounding piece of work and I can only expect greater things from you in the future.

[LARRY episode 1.5]

Excellent Once Again

The artwork and animation are both quite superb, I didn't expect any disappointment after coming from the first LARRY. The sound effects are also superb capturing a lot going on here. The music is masterful, I really have no complaints on that, DavidOrr has done it again. The storyline is also masterful, with the story being comical, understandable, and just crazy enough to be as sane as it can be. I see these two characters playing roles in future LARRY episodes seeing as they're trying to find their way home.

[Space Buckets of the Deep]

The Reason is Unabsolute

First off I want to talk about the artwork, the visuals this presented were good, nothing spectacular, but they were good, a twisted dimension could've been drawn better, but to give you more points for the inner sanctum of you mind wouldn't be fair. The animation was great, all the objects and characters flowed quite smoothly, but it could've been touched up here and there. The sound, well I don't think there was any sound or minimal sound it's kind of hard to tell, but for this case I won't judge you on it on the fact of being unsure. The music is interesting... it brings you in and then it warps your brain, that combined with the story warps your mentality. Speaking of which, what is going on here with the story, I liked it, don't get me wrong, but I want to know why I liked it. It's like was taken on this journey that was the illusion of storytelling, but we actually saw something that went together to that of a story. All in all this was a messed up animation, but I liked it.

Dapper responds:

There is no story, completely surrealistic. I'm trying to improve my animation even slightly more in my next flash like this, and I may make it a bit more disturbing ^-^

Thanks for reviewing!

[Mario:Vs Bowser]

Ya Got Skills...

Well the animation with the fight scenes were amazing for a sprite based flash. The music was chosen pretty well and the sound effects were down to a T. That's all I can really say about this though. You have the skills, you just need a storyline. Something more original if you will. I'm not saying this is bad, believe me it's not, it's just the same old same old, and it didn't really have an ending either. Check out the Writing Forum here on Newgrounds or find a writer to write a Mario based story for you.

["Snowfall"]

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

The artwork was quite masterful to be honest. Capturing the expressions of the little boy as well as the cute forest animals, I think what did it for me was the way you presented the wintery forest of the blanket covered pines. I know this might be going a bit too far, but your artwork in this reminds me of the art in the legendary "Calvin & Hobbes" comic strips. The animation is also masterful giving emotion with each and every move. It is sad that there is no sound in this, but that would take away from the beautiful music choice you made... it fit the flash movie. The concept of this is pretty basic, snow apocalypse or the lesser effects of an avalance, basic stuff, but you gave it a more wacky side which goes back to the classic "Looney Tunes" cartoons. Overall this is a delightful flash movie that I would love to see again and again and again.

now thats what i call a review!

[Well, It's Mario!]

Let'sa Go!

The animation here was quite superb I must say. It just flowed so well. The sound was a bit of an issue... some songs were scratchy while others weren't, not a big issue, but still somewhat of a flaw. The story in which I mean the jokes were hilarious, I especially liked the one with the 1-UP. All I can say is that was awesome! I can't wait to see what video game character you pick next to do this with.

[LARRY episode 1]

The Start of an Epic Series!

Your artwork and animation are completely superb, very comical looking as well. The sound is beautiful... kudos to David Orr. The voice acting is spot on and hilarious especially from your part. The main point here is the storyline... I honestly can't wait to see what happens next. Like I said it's the start of a wonderful series.
