Major-punk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chimpcomix V-Day 2006]

Am I too late for valentines day?

Haha! Simple, funny oh and FUN! =P
But seriously I thought thus was pretty damn good, like half of all the valentines submissions were like 8 second clips but this, THIS actually had a bit of length, a storyline yanno?

Suggestion:

Instead of having what the characters say appear in text mixed with the background which makes it difficult to read. How about making some space at the top (since it seemed empty up there) for some subtitles?

Like try to fill the window completely with something moving. To me (FOR EXAMPLE) even if the artwork is shit, the music is fucked up, as long as things are constantly happening it's difficult to be too critical in a specific area since as soon as the audience notices something is wrong it's hard to forget.

How that affects your flash is for a good portion it was just mario and peach standing there talking, nothing else really happening and just before peach gave mario the piggyback I remember I was thinking to myself "come on do something, don't stay like this".

I'm not trying to be too critical just helpful and I'm sure you'd like to know what the audience will think of your flash as your making it yanno?

"Luigi was here" lol ^_^
Anyway good work on this, keep making flash, keep improving. 3/5.

[Laysamon Transform]

Woah! That had style.

I thought overall it was just great!
A little short but it was fun while it lasted. The artwork was really detailed and it had that anime style that only a few people can do well... and you did it well.

For my computer it was alot to load at once and I had to lower the quality myself to view it properly but even still it was a bit choppy. Not a BIG deal but if you notice alot of people mentioning this maybe next time it's better to keep it more simple, yanno?

Anyway I notice this is your first flash here and I find that impressive. Keep up the great work and I'll be sure to cheerfully review your latest flash! 4/5 =)

Elhain responds:

Unhappyly I do not see thus, as to make simpler... I use effect 3d and they require really very of a machine. The next one goes to be, finds I, worse in relation the speed in less powerful machines. I am making cities, building, scenes and many other things 3d's. I go to try to make something more easy to be digested. I am with one preview the way - Syper - and I want to be between the best ones! debtor for the note! I was finding that nobody more wanted to know of my work and the last commentary was a little aggressive...

Thaks a lot!

[why is halo 2 a 16+]

haha pretty funny.

I don't own Halo personally, but after watching your flash i want to play it even more. =)
The music I thought was great, made the funny parts evem funnier.

I think subtitles at the very bottom would have been the better idea though then in the middle of the window. And then for whoever is talking just have their respective colour of helmet beside their text yanno?

Oh and the third 'reason' was my favourite. Best of luck. 3/5

[Elements (by Tom Lehrer)]

It's alright.

This was simple and really to the point and I like that, but I really think you should add a little something just to make this more 'yours' and not just someone elses song and someone elses pictures, yanno?

Like what I had in mind would be just a little 5 second intro (maybe your own logo?) before the song actually started and then at the end have one of those scrolling credits with some cool Weird Al music eh?

I liked the intermissions, the little comments you added were pretty funny probibly the best part I thought. =)

Anyway good start, but I would like to see better next time. 2/5

CaptinChu responds:

I promise, you will see better next time. Next time, it won't be blammed two times before get it right! ;)

No, but seriously, it took me three times to get this movie right.

[:]

Love the title.

The flash itself was alright, like I'm not really blown away by it and I feel like an idiot after I just watched sonic just spin there for at least 5 minutes then realizing sonic indeed is NOT gonna stop rolling.

Sprites... ok. The music was nice though, didn't really suit the flash I don't think. But I liked it anyway. =)

Btw... this is driving me crazy in the last scene it shows a sprite background from one of sonics games... is the water moving or is it just me?

kinggila responds:

At least you didn't act like a noob and get angry at me for watching Sonic roll for 5 minutes. And the last part, I dunno, I havn't watched my flashes for ages.

[Train of thought]

I thought it was alright

Nothing really too drastic or eye-catching but to me it was a little above average as far as FBF goes.
There were a few moments when this captured my imagination and I could feel the flow but that was only for an instant and didn't really hold on.

Anyway the one part I liked the most was the little clouds of smoke just kinda expanding then dissapearing. I thought that was cool.
Best wishes. 3/5

Gate-keeper-girl responds:

Yeah, those explosions took at least 10 minutes :P Glad you liked them.

Well, I have another fbf that was for a collab, but I would rather submit it as a solo project now XD

That'll come soon. Don't worry you weird people.

Thanks for teh vote :D

[Genocide Trailer]

Woah! That was great!

That has to be one of the longest trailers I've seen ever, and by long don't think it was boring because it was far from it. I enjoyed every second of this. =)

The artwork and shadings were awesome, I was really impressed by them and the music and crazy camera angles just enhanced the effect. I mean this I'm really impressed!

Anyway after seeing the trailer I CANT WAIT for the full version and whenever it's ready I'll be sure to review it to. 5/5 Great work!

Gate-keeper-girl responds:

XD Wow. Heh. Genocide 1 MIGHT dissapoint people who liked the trailer. I am planning to submit it to the alphas. Because the audio is gonna take some time to sort out, along with working on the 10 other projects, and getting my new voice actors.

*sigh* I'm surprized you, and so many people like this. I have been watching it over and over now, to see what the hell people are raving about XD

And as some of my friends know, that have seen it, Genocide episode 1 adopts a much different style than the trailer. It's based more on layers and semi-stagnant characters.

Ahh well.

[Link: The Adventure]

Excellent!

I great tribute/explainations of the game but it was interesting to watch and seeing those characters just melted my heart. ^_~. (memories)

The drawings were very good and having them kinda twitch was a great touch it added that relaxed feel I so much enjoy.

Great music, I'm leaving this window open just so I can listen to it a little bit more. =P
Anyway great job overall I REALLY liked this. 4/5

FluffyDemonRat responds:

Sadly... the reason I used this music is because I had it on loop for 4 hours when making it.. I forgot it was playing then I was like.. hmmm...

[Cold as Ice ep. 01]

Not bad at all

I liked the creative edge you had a the very beginning by adding "-Rules- imagination presents" - haha classy.

Anyway these two things I thought about while watching your flash:

Shading: I know the drawings weren't very good and this is your first flash but I think just adding a little shading just to the hair can make all the difference.

Remove the continue button: I don;t like these in general, it interupts the flow of the flash and personally I like to just lean back on my chair and just watch it. These "continue" buttons only annoy me.

Anyway I apologize that I'm only listing the negative things but this is a fairly old flash compared to your newer ones so I find it a little pointless to repeat the good things that previous reviewers have said, yanno?

[Cosby's Revenge]

I liked this one better then the BEAST BOI series

I own Super Mario RPG so this made a little sense to me and I found a little funny the first time it looped but after as you might imagine I lost interest very quickly, it's too bad you don't care a whole lot about your flash. I know I would really appreciate having something in the portal I could call my own.

ViceFullbuster responds:

It's about time a SMRPG flash came out,Cosby is just the comic relief of course. ^_^
