EK515's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Science2]

Pretty good

+ The first was ok too, but this has more action than the first.
+ Art, effort, etc

You should wait till "madness day 2011" for the next one! (google it to find the rules)

[Beowulf in 2 1/2 minutes]

Loved it. woot!

? (I haven't seen/watched Beowolf)
+ I found the expressive slides Entertaining.
+ Effort your style takes.
+ well optimized

[Yshai Vs Peretz]

Light-hearted fun

Only thing I didn't like was the jpeggy background.

[Knuckles' Candy Bar]

'quick' and to the 'point'

+ The timing/flow.
ex: The way sonic sped by in rhythm made the movie intuitive and easy to follow.

[Bimmy in the Future]

So well put together, it was like watching TV

+ Seems to have a plot & storyboard.
+ Sound effects & bg sounds
+ Cognative art

ThyGentleman responds:

lol Thank you! I don't know why they call this review useless, but the TV thing is my main point in the animation.

Most of my insperation comes from Samurai Jack, not the art style but the character.

[Robot Crab Episode 2]

Not bad. I played through the whole thing.

+ Responsive controls & cognitive art.
+ I didn't mind the music either(minimalistic techno).
? I almost missed the extra bit after the credits.

LacertaSR responds:

I am working on this ok, That will be worked on

[Castle Crashers Short]

feels Incomplete

- Just a gag(single joke event), that feels incomplete alone.
+ You could say that Red was: 'the lesser of two medievals.'

[Awesome Jesse Fight]

pretty original

+ I haven't seen something like this, in recent memory.
- the 'special effects' were just a paint-brush tool.
- The fight was too short. The stick figure was a push-over.

22bears responds:

Well, we only recorded, like, 30 seconds of video. this whole thing was done in about 10 minutes

["Late" Pre-Clip]

Looks good.

I like it, it is understandable. I only rate 7 because of the lack in content.

Here are my opinions on what you should tweak:
The Clouds look like they should be behind the mountain.
The light color and small letters makes the road sign hard to read.
The mountains should move much slower to give depth.
Maybe you should have the 'tire-shake' a little tighter.

Xivics responds:

Ill take that into mind. Thanks :P I don't think I'll shake the tires. It just looks horrid.

[Mario Vs Sonic attempt]

Suspenseful ending

+ Good action, expression, and title-screen.
- A peeve I have is with originality. It reminds me of SuperMarioBrosZ, and that brings comparisons you probably will not want.

+ It feels nicely polished.
- (missed a spot)
A lot of the images are "jpegged". Using "lossless png/gif" when publishing the file should get rid of the "jpegginess" in your movies.

theGoronclub responds:

thanks for the criticism i'll assure you it wont go to waste :)
