The-Great-One's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MilkShake Land C3E3 EN]

Interesting...

Let's start with the artwork, It was good, but I've seen better in my time. The animation was also good however there was certainly room for improvement. As for sound, no voice acting... but clicking through text boxes. The storyline for this was easy to understand, but failed to deliver upon entertainment or comical value. You had some funny jokes, but not many. Back to the sound, not even background music was present unless you were doing a certain scene. Drop by the Audio Portal and find something suitable for you.

Hi, thanks. You know, too many jokes can kill the rythm.

[The Mighty Quinn]

I Enjoyed This

The artwork was superb where it needed to be and cartoony where it had to be. The animation was a bit lazy at some points, but what was important was that it kep up with the song. Speaking of which the song choice was excellent it has been quite a while since I've heard that song and it was a flashback to the past for me.

Honestly, Sloppy

I see why you put this in the Experimental Genre. You certainly have a lot to build from. Your artwork was sloppy. The stick figures were quite good however I suggest you no longer write out the words with your mouse anymore... just type them out and work from there. You have a very nice concept here and I can see this story progressing further. You just need to work on your artwork a little bit more. Your animation is was very well done. However there were no sound effects or background music of any kind. I suggest you stop by two different places, the Art Forum, Flash Tutorials, and the Audio Portal. If you require links to all of those then send me a PM.

[RE4: Don't shoot the fish]

Not Bad At All

Your artwork was a bit mediocre, but still quite good, you didn't really play around with this as much as I expected artwork wise. The animation was great as well, but not a lot there, but what is there is great. The main thing was the storyline which was a parody. Subtle humor is here and you did quite well with this, an excellent storyline indeed. All in all a decent flash.

Alright cool, no bad points. In your scoring system, 7 means great if I remember.

Thanks for the reveiw.

[All for the Love of Troy]

Entertaining...

This certainly was entertaining... it was hard to keep up with because the text bubbles would move by at a fast rate and so it was hard to read it all. However I got kind of enough out of it to know what was going on. As for the storyline, with the text moving fast all I got was a deathmatch between two girls who loved Troy... and that's pretty much it. If you were trying to throw any jokes in here then I can tell you that they were either cheesy or not funny... I'm gonna believe they were supposed to be like that to reflect the actual movie High School Musical, but you could've done a bit better. The artwork was really great, but where you came home with was the animation. Each character moved swiftly and each movement was timed perfectly. The sound was also quite good and for this flash I don't think voices were necessary, but would've been interesting. Overall an entertaining flash movie, I would say parody, but I don't think this is an actual parody seeing as how you didn't pull anything from the movie to make fun of, all we got was a Celebrity Deathmatch episode with some more scenery and back-story.

LordHayden responds:

I respect your opinion on it not being a parody, but I think it is because the real HSM guys would never do things like. In fact, killing somone would give Gabriella (the cookie that she is) a heart attack. The amusement of this lies in how it would be like if it were to happen in the real movie.
Thanks.

[Mario and Link: A Meeting]

Not Bad

It was a decent sprite movie, however when Mario approached the tombstones, music stops... okay, but after that there were no sound effects or music of any kind whatsoever. Your sprite work is quite good as well as your animation skills, but you just didn't give it your full potential. Also the storyline was understandable, but rather boring.

Mariofan9 responds:

I thank you. It was my very first sprite movie, as you know. The music was supposed to stop by then, also.

[Lip Sync Refined]

Creepy...

It's good, but it's creepy. Not really a lot here. Yes your artwork is qutie good, I however must say the animation isn't all that great. The preloader music was too loud, but when the girl starts speaking I could barely hear her without turning my speakers just about full blast. Although the poem was creepy, it was good, but short. As for the Lip Sync, it really wasn't that great... it looked likeit was all mushed together.

Thank you, and everyone for their critic, I'm still getting the hang of flash and your comments help me improve my work. I;ll have a few other things coming up soon

[Some Funny Pictures ep.3]

Those Were Some Funny Pictures

However I still have to be fair. Your artwork, animation, and sound were all great, but this is just a picture gallery with commentary so I'm going to have to deduct off your score. Although these were some really funny pictures and your commentary was hilarious! My favorite was the DVD Rewinder... who on earth would buy one of those... oh yeah, you. A nice flash that made me laugh today.

[And The GameCube Blew]

Potential - Writing,,, No.

I'll admit I thought I was in for a small treat when I decided to watch this flash movie, however I was let down a bit. The artwork was very nice, it reminded me of Another Day. The sound was also nice as well... the only thing I didn't like was the story. From the title I expected the Nintendo Gamecube to blow up, it did, but you didn't make it as entertaining as I was hoping for... in a nutshell, the story wasn't that good. Even if this story is based off of true events you could've spiced it up a bit. One thing I would like to mention is this Wolf character. I would like you to have him reappear later on, I have ideas for him if you would like them. All in all good artwork, animation, and sound, but the story not so much.

LordHayden responds:

All right, I'll admit that it wasn't all that great.
As for the Wolf guy, he is a mouse-drawn, fbf, prototype of me. I certainly would like some ideas though, I'll appreciate you sharing them.
I'm not disappointed that you thought the story was not so great, it's not one of my best Flashes.

[A Bad Day For Yoshi]

Hilarious!

I found this quite hilarious! However the sound was a bit off, but not too badly. Some gags were funny, but not the best jokes, but it made for build up for bust out laughing. It all came together quite well. As for the animation for other parts of the flash like the coins or the bouncy ball, maybe you could've added that as well, but you made up for it with the comedy.

Bomber109 responds:

Thanks.

The sound is off due to some glitch where the best remedy is to code to the sounds in. However, then the preloader doesn't work as well.
