Major-punk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lessons In Life 3]

Bwahahahaha

First of all, the main menu looked sweet. It just looked visually appealing and made a great first impression, so yeah.

*watches lessons*
Haha, funny stuff again. Personally I thought the 2nd lesson was the best where the moral was to kill the mother bird before stealing the eggs. The spikes being launched at the guy was pretty cool. ^_^

Just a thought:
I think it would look really good if you had the camera angle move and change every so often so it's not the same every time. Like I can imagine some interesting effects you can create by rotating the camera around the clay men to make things look distotred and confusing or something.

Anyway as always I enjoyed watching your work, thanks. 4/5.

PiePie responds:

Heh thanks for the review! I will try and do as you say and change the camera angle a bit for my next one.

[Skamarai]

Decent

This is alright, to be honest it's nothing I'd ever come back to watch or show other people but I liked the casual, easy-going feel this music video had.

The drawings weren't the best but the shadings in the trees turned out really well so I guess the more you work with animation you'll naturally improve on those things.

Oh btw I liked the style of the bubble letters you used, looked nice. 3/5.

Fion responds:

I wasnt trying extremely hard with this. Good to hear constructive criticism.

[Tails and his GBA 3]

Very enjoyable <== (Understatement)

First off, congrats on all the success this flash has had. ^_^

Man that was a hilarious parody of Don Hertefeldt's Rejected Cartoons, heh I'm sure alot of people gave you hell for 'stealing' it or something. Oh well funny stuff I loved it.

Personally I liked the Megaman game better, just the internet chatroom/IM thing was pretty creative and interesting also the battles were pretty funny too.

But I kinda thought there was a little bit too much talking between Tails and Amy, like for example just before they enter the GBA I felt like I was waiting for the next good part to come. I dunno I just didn't think the whole "this place needs redesigning" thing was very good.

Anyway great work again RupeeClock! You did it again. 5/5. ^_^

RupeeClock responds:

A lot of people did give me stupid reviews because I "Stole" it, when I was just parodying it like other people parody other things, lol.

Anyhow, thanks for the good review!

[Lock shoots glock]

Heh

I'm not sure exactly why I'm reviewing this but I've already watched it so I might aswell. =)

This is a nice tribute to Clock Day, yanno by calling the glocks fags and all. Anyway I'm sure you had alot of fun making this but I think it needs a sequel for Clock Day 06.

Nice song btw.

Charged responds:

Dear Major_punk, Thank you very much for your review. I did indeed have alot of fun making this flash submission. I'm pleased to inform you that there will be another submission this year, perhaps with you as a character - who knows. Add me to your favourite authors so you get an e-mail on clock day reminding you of my latest submission :)

[Super Mario Killing Spree]

What? No blood?!?!? ^_~

Good work Casualty! This was great. =)

I've always enjoyed mindless killing spree kind of animations and you did an excellent job on this one, this had some great sound effects and the music was clear and really set the tempo of this entire sprite animation.

I think this would of been a little better if it had some more intense action though. Like personally I like it when the main character is fighting like a dozen enemies at once and it's just insane to watch with all the crazy shit that happens.
But in this it was fast but usually Mario was only fighting one guy at a time, especially while Mario was driving the tank. I think you could've added some more enemies while he was moving along like maybe have some koopa's jump on the back of the tank and Mario shakes them off by jumping or something, just the little things.
Or when Mario throws the guy into the air and you later see him in the far distant background and it shows him dissapear with a sweet *ting* sound. It's a cool effect and all but maybe instead of having the audience wait for him to leave have the enemies come in sooner, maybe?
I'm not saying this was slow or boring but I think it could've been a little better if it had more intensity with more actions happening at once.

There was alot of cool attacks Mario did that I was really impressed by, like when Mario grabs the gun goes into the middle and just does a bunch of backflips while shooting everyone. ^_^

Anyway overall I thought this really good, cool attacks, a few funny moments like "pwnage-mode activated" and some creative stunts. But maybe not as action packed as I would of liked personally. 4/5.

btw congrats on entering the Mario Parodies.

Casualty responds:

Thanks! I know I have problems with making "fluid" flash movies... I always have a little idea on what's going to happen next, but I focus on that idea and then I forget to add other stuff... AND I'm lazy as fuck. Thanks for telling, I'll try to work on it for the next time.
Thanks for reviewing and the good comments, you're a great reviewer!

I Swear to live a sober life from now on.......

I LOVED IT!!! I was confuzzled most of the time.....but still.... I loved IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really......No joke..........would I lie to you.....Honestly............

Maxwell-FA responds:

thanks for the support.

[Better Mario Z]

It's a good start but......

What I would do to make this better is to have it more distinguishable between the two characters.....I don't care if you put a birthday hat on one....I was just not sure who was who...
The graphics were alright and the music was good. Maybe some slow-mo action scenes would enhance it..... Good luck on your future flashes.

[Aplehebbel 2]

This truly had EVERYTHING

There were so many good things put into this flash that made it all come together, and it just had that 'wtf is gonna happen next' kind of feeling that really grabbed interest and WOULD NOT LET GO.

VISUAL:
The drawings were far from perfect but still got the job done.
I like the way the skyscrapers made the unnoticable transition from ordinary buildings to a dragon type of animal and I was really impressed with that so bravo. ^_^

However during the majority of this flash the background was just a single shade and I really think if you wanted to go above and beyond adding a few different colours here and there would really benefit you.
Specificaly when the sheep is riding down the mountain, the mountain is just a plain grey colour and if you added some more jagged edges and some dark shaded areas I think that would look really cool and professional.
But ofcourse to do that would take hours upon hours of time so I could never expect that but it's just a thought I had...

SOUNDS:
The music set the tone early with the 'religious-like' chorus and from the first few seconds on I knew this would be a humourous/random type of flash.
Although if you really want to get deep into detail then like when the sheep was just floating in the sky for a few moments just adding a few faint wind sounds I think would be very effective in creating suspense etc while waiting for the sheep to fall, yanno?
The voice actor for the "QUIET PLEASE" scene did an excellent job aswell so give him a pat on the back.

Also I think adding a little *bleep* sound when the audience clicks the play and re-play button would be a nice addition.

HUMOUR:
The drawings themselves had a comical style so they lightened the mood and made this extremely easy to enjoy. But we both know the bannana following the sheep around was the funniest part of all, it consistantly came at the right times and just sounded hilarious. ^_^

--------

So overall I REALLY enjoyed this animation, the sheeps crazy adventure is just what I needed to brighten my day. Well done good sir! 5/5.

Duck-Duck-Sheep responds:

Oh wow thank you for this most awesome review ever ! And you had good ideas too, like the scene where the sheep is floating, a few wind noises would be better...yes, but i have problems finding sounds.

Also, the voiceactor was me ^^

Overall i can say that according to your review, you have excactly the same taste and let me just say that i made this movie for people like you ! Thank you for the review and i am glad that i brightened up your day !
