EK515's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[VG Practice]

I like it

+ smooth frame by frame
++ Exaggerated lip syncing
- short and uneventful. (not much else to say about it)

Feyvern responds:

Thanks for the review, much appreciated. ^_^

[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

[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 :)

[Tex - Showdown Pt2]

Looking forward to the next one

+ The movie was drawn and understandable.
? The intro slide show was hard to understand.

+ Quantity: It was a long move.
? Most submissions have credits that are as long as the movie. But yours is around 7 min, so I wouldn't mind having them 30secs long.

- Most of it didn't have a background.

Jakest123 responds:

it didn't really have a background because they're in the core of the universe, which you will understand if you watch the other episodes on www.dwojac.webs.com/tex , and you will also understand the opening slideshow (it's pretty much just a recap)

[Sonic 4 spoof]

Border'n crunk

+ drawn and cognitive (looks good)
+ sounds good
- no complaints really, but it felt a little slow.
+7 other

? (Personally I would take the word epic out of the ending)

ExploadingRabbits responds:

well actual the word epic is in their because of another flash animation i did a while ago that ended with robotnik on the floor like in this one and i just said fail but i didn't upload it here because i don't think its good enough to pass judgment this one is like a sequel to that one.

[Blobness Combat Trailer]

good concept terrible execution

didn't you read the rules? no crappy 2 second previews!
the yell volume over the music's.
the slow mundane axe throw. It's gonna get blammed sry.

Ash4792 responds:

well it didn't get blammed so there :P and i'm gonna use a higher frame rate in the series so things should be faster and the sound sync should be better

[A Bad Day For Yoshi]

meh....

I find the real game deaths more entertaining than some of these.
maybe you could make a unfair game? eh, eh?

Bomber109 responds:

Really? Show me some.
