Major-punk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mecha Duel]

This is the best. End.

That was amazing! I am still stunned from what I just witnessed.

It started out realistic and something everyone can relate to but then it gradually converts to an almost science fiction kind of animation.
Starting with two teenagers playing videogames in a house to the same guys fighting on a beach with robots falling into the ocean is something you only realize when the flash is finished.

The fight scenes were not only fun to watch but they were completley on a different level. Unique is an understatement this is imagination at its best. The movements were smooth and realistic no legs bending the wrong way in this flash.

Another thing is the facial expressions when they fought that attention to detail is so much appreciated, thats one of the many things that seperates this flash from the rest.

I really didnt know what to expect next, I kept getting thrown off and felt helpless watching this and I just wanted to see more

The length and filesize of this really impressed me most high quality flashes such as this are only like 30 seconds long but this was a good 2 minutes at least. And the quality never slacked off either it was spectacular the whole way through!

This is the one part that didnt really blow me away but it was still good. The soundtrack I heard somewhere before so its kinda like that Numa Numa song after you hear it once its lost its magic. But the music was in sync with what was happening, everytime something BIG happened the soundtrack would express that. Perfectly.

My favourite part of this was when they were both fighting at the beach with a crowd surrounding them. Just the way the camera angle was spinning and the people cheering in the background reminded me of some highschool fights I used to enjoy watchng so much.

This flash is definitly going to win some awards and get front page. So early congrats to that.

Best of luck to you and hopefully you will submit more flash to Newgrounds sometime in the future? Anyway your fucking awesome!

StephenRedmond responds:

Hey, thankyou very much. :) I really appreciate it when someone writes a review like this.

Actually, the movie's pretty much dead-on four minutes. The song was used in the opening sequence of Naruto. It hadn't been used in any flash movies when I started this, but I think it's been used in a few before I finished. :P

I'll definately be submitting more in the future, but it won't be for a while yet. Thanks again, man.

[Croyt's Demise]

That was cool...

This had a weird style to it, kinda suspenseful but almost soothing at the same time. It was different thats for sure.

I really liked the soundtrack it really set the mood. It grabs your attention and doesnt let go.

Anyway although your drawings werent the greatest it was still a flash I very much enjoyed. = )
Best of luck to you in and hopefully I can see more flash from you soon!

[Shinsetsu, Pas Ecchi]

Great animations!

I enjoyed that alot, and I loved the anime style you used. = )

"OMFG Sephiroth!" haha, hilarious!

Good background music and the storyline was interesting too. Even though I still dont understand all of it yet. :P

Anyway best of luck to you and I hope to see more flash from you soon. You deserve a cookie but I dont have any cookies so im just gonna smile and nod politely. = )

Bomee responds:

Luna is a big videogame fangirl like me... this is just the first episode of shinsetsu... she just told Ian she loves him... what will he do? Luna is very wacky... lol... but i'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review :)

[Lollipopple]

Funny, and nicely done!

I liked the narrating, its funny and it does clarify it a bit... but mostly its funny.

Good choice with the background music ( brought back memories)like when the frog.. or lizard was telling the audience he was gonna rob the bank the music suited it. However if ever someone ever had to leave for a second and pause it, The music doesnt loop.

I didnt like how you had to click a button for the conversation to continue for me it was just slowing it down I know why your oing it though for the slow readers or just if someone has to get up and do something else, but I found it annoying. You could of atleast had it in the same spot.

Anyway Best of luck to you in the future and i hope to see more flash from you soon. : )

MajinPiccolo responds:

Actually I didn't do it for slow readers. I did it so it would look exactly like the game does. With the same text boxes and the button and such. But glad you liked it anyways.

[When Robots Attack]

Good is an understatement. This is Fucking Awesome

First of all, awesome pre-loader. I liked the "if this is on ebaumsworld its been stolen" part.

I like the style you used for this, just having the camera move during the entie flash is great. I noticed how at the beginning it showed the humans but as it went on it shoiwed more and more robots which is cool.

The music was a great choice for it, the movements were in sync with the beat of the song and it added a great touch to the flash.
The lyrics were telling a story and what I heard was happening.
If it said "pets" I would see pets if it said "screaming" there would be someone screaming.

This is just great flash that left me wondering what I just witnessed. Thats a good thing.
Best of luck to you in the future and I hope to see more flash from you soon, expect some awards... you definatly deserved them.

It was funny, all of it was just hilarious some parts I can recall is when all the planes were leaving the airport and they were immediatly shot down by a robot.

TmsT responds:

Some folks spend more time looking at the preloader than the animation itself... So a good preloader can go a long way!
Glad you enjoyed it all.

[The Liar]

Impressive!

The animation and shading of this flash is incredible and the Lip synching was also really freaking sweet.
The characters voices suited them very well which usually doesnt happen all the time.

This is no amateur flash. No Way.

If this were longer I think it would get Frontpage but you never know, im rooting for ya! 5/5
Best of luck to you in the future and I hope to see more flash from you soon!

[Korapok X-Mas E-Card]

Brings a smile

I like this e-card!
Its cute, funny and it justs puts in you a good mood for the holidays.
The filesize was very good for an e-card so good work with that.
I also thought the disclaimer note at the end was pretty funny.

Best of Luck to you in the future and maybe I can see some more flash from you soon!

[The Little Buzzers Ep 5]

Awesome, I Love it!

I thought that was really funny and cute.
I especially liked the chewing noises for some reason and the noises that were made when they talked. It kinda reminded me of Animal Crossing.
I liked the shading you did along with the realistic facial features and lip synching ( even the the words didnt make sense).
I have never seen the previous 4 episodes but I will be sure to right now and im adding this version to my favourites now.

Very Funny!
Best of Luck to you in the future and I hope to see more from this series soon!

Just curious what is a buzzer?

FarFromSubtle responds:

A buzzer is... well... it buzzes. Somthing that... buzzes. Yeah.

[The ultimate warrior...]

Good work with Sprites!

I really enjoyed that, so much ill review it.
I thought the music suited it very well, it was very co-ordinated to the actions and what was happening, also fairly humourous.

The sprites movements were swift and very realstic, excellent work in the fight scenes.

I think you couldnt of added sound effects though. Like when Megaman shoots at the enemy its completly silent, or when he falls through the floor.

Anyway I did enjoy it and best of the luck to you in the future and I hope to see more flash from you soon!

[Come Out And Play]

Haha, original

I have never seen something like this before, I really laughed when it showed a close up of the robot/machine thing.
I do think that the benny hill song is overused though so maybe you could of chosen something newer.
I think if you did a bit more shading also, that would boost its score like in the first scene were it shows the house for like 5 seconds a bit of shading would improve its quality and instead of having just plain lime green grass you could of added a bit of texture to it.

Anyway I really like your style of doing this and it was hilarious. Best of luck to you in the future and I hope to see more flash from you soon : )

Kerensky-287 responds:

Thanks for the great review! I did start shading near the end, but the deadline is today (12/14/05) and I only JUST finished it yesterday -_-
