Dev's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Corky52's Birthday Collab]

lawl

Some pretty funny shit, man. Yoshi and MinusNick's especially made me laugh. XD
I think I've seen enough of Corky's face now to make sleep impossible for at least the next...week. :P
This was actually pretty good. A bit more than I expected, anyways. Pretty good quality work by all 3 contributors, and very funny.
If I wasn't such a total flash newb you know that I would have made a part for this. :(
At least I took the time to pimp out his stats in my latest newspost. :P

Happy brithday, dude.

Sispri responds:

Haha, thanks for the review, man. ;)

YOU BETTA MAIK A PART NEX YEER, NOOBEH.

"You spin me right round, baby, right round..." I'll have those verses looping in my head for some time, I'm sure. This flash was, how can I say, ridiculous. But it was for the most part what I expected --Simple, nothing dazzling, yet entertaining in its own way. The captions every so often kept me interested in the flash beyond the curiosity of how many times I could watch Sonic spin before passing out... I was glad to see it have an end, opposed to just a pointless, neverending loop.
Overall, it was kinda funny, I liked it. I have no idea why I'm reviewing right now, or why I chose this particular flash...Oh well.

A neverending loop where the counter keeps going up is truly ridiculous. ;)

[Star Fox: Loopy Battle]

Funny

lol Donkey Kong in an Arwing, now I've seen it all. :P It looks like you really put a lot of effort into the drawings of the ships, that really stood out, it looked very professional. The voice acting was also pretty good, though I think the use of some more sound effects would really improve this a lot.
I found that this flash's humor relied largely on jokes more than slapstick type comedy. I actually liked that, it was a nice change of pace.
Overall, I'd say that working on the story would really take this from good to great. If you could develop a really interesting storyline to accompany the humor that you've already established, you'd have something pretty impressive.
I enjoyed watching and the laughs. ;) Good work.

MCYoshi responds:

Thanks for the compliments on the ships, but that's actually my brother's work as seen in the credits. I've been trying to teach him how to work in flash and he's gotten good at the drawing for sure. Everything else though was me. Yeah the story could be improved, though this was just supposed to lead to a much larger project which the story's better.

[SSBB: Pit's Wii Remote]

lol!

haha, this was quite the short! The drawings of Pit were really good. That's really what stuck out to me the most in the art/animation department. Both the drawings and animation were very good and the audio and voice acting were top notch. I really couldn't find anything in need of work in this short.
The humor was very original and witty, I really liked the idea.
Overall, a high quality short that delivered a good, original, funny punchline. Nice work!

MCYoshi responds:

Yeah Pit took quite a bit of time to draw, and probably won't be going for that kind of quality in my upcoming works. It made the flash take a bit too long even though it is short. Glad you liked it and thanks for the review.

[Hay Wars]

lol Nice

Very funny Corky, I lol'd a few times, at least. I usually don't care for the live action videos on Newgrounds, but I'll make an exception for you. ;) The lasers seemed to be of pretty good quality, and the sound effects were synched pretty well. That was a major plus. The only downside to this was the quality of the video, that could have been much better, though it did suffice. :P The acting skill was nonexistent, but of course that wasn't what you were going for! XP
The humor was really what stuck out to me here, the jokes were simple, yet effective. Nearly every scene had me laughing. Very funny.
Overall, a pretty good job, congrats. And kudos to yoshi for putting in the crappy preloader. Come on dude, there's totally better NG loaders out there than that. ;)
Congrats on your first solo flash, dude! You're on my fav author list. This flash is on my favs now, too. :)

(You're going to request it, right?) lol

Fro responds:

Well I actually just requested it to be reviewed so your ahead already, damn. And thanks for all the favorites! I know the quality of the video sucked, but that's as best as I could get it without making the movie too small. And yes the acting sucked and yes that's exactly what I wanted. ;) And yeah, shame on you Yoshi for the terrible pre-loader and replay button! Ha!

Thanks for the great review!

[Please help me!]

I Like :)

This was pretty neat. I've always wanted to take a song I love and turn it into a music video in flash, I really like the idea.
The graphics were very simple, but that's not a bad thing. I think it looked better with the simplistic, black and white look, opposed to being really fancy. It compliments the classic-ness of the song quite well.
The fact that you repeated the scenes in your movie made sense because the song obviously repeats. (As most songs do). :P But another idea would be to make it more of a story that progresses throughout the course of the song to a conclusion.
My only criticism for this is the animation of the mouth could have been a little better. The option of subtitles was a good idea, but since the character is singing along with the song, I'd think it important to make sure it looks like he's forming the exact words that are being sung.
Overall it is a good idea, though, I enjoyed watching.

Thank you!

[The Pirate Collab]

yarrr!

This was awesome, guys. One of the best collabs I've ever watched. The graphics were awesome all around, all the artwork was really fun and the animation was as pretty and smooth as can be.
The way you put this together was really quite spectacular and witty. I loved the treasure map in the beginning and the message in a bottle at the end. The little game in the beginning was simple, yet very addictive, it was really an awesome addition to this flash.
The song chosen for this was great, really a perfect match. The lyrics really fit the theme of this collab to a tee and the upbeatness of the tune matched the fast pace of the animations.
The humor was funny, but not overly sidesplitting. I did laugh out loud a few times, though. Goat-Man's one with the little guy on the desert island had me almost in tears. XD
Overall this was a fine collab. Masterfully put together with awesome animation and good humor. It was certainly worth all the time you guys spent on it. Excellent work!

Thanks for the review! :3

I'm happy you enjoyed the collab but I really did enjoy reading this awesome review. :D Thanks, you made me happy inside ^_^

[SF Series Episode 1]

Pretty Good

Not, bad. The sprite-style graphics were very well done. The characters were very lively and the backgrounds were rich and full. The animation was also quite good and smooth, for the most part, especially during the fight scene.
The audio was up to par with the graphics, though I noticed that some of the voices seemed to be noticeably quieter than some of the other sound effects and other audio in this flash. The voice acting was very professional, probably one of the best aspects of this flash.
There wasn't too much humor in this, but of course that wasn't your main goal. :P I did get a chuckle when characters would just randomly walk by the foreground. I'm not sure if that was meant to be funny, or if was like civilians walking by, but I laughed nonetheless. :P
I thought the ending, "to be continued" part was kind of abrupt, I really didn't see it coming when it did.
Overall this was a pretty solid flash. Good work!

Thank You...at least someone mentioned cyclops running from megaman and then in the background megaman running from cyclops...

[The Music Video Collab]

Not Bad

You guys did a nice job with this, I really enjoyed watching/listening. I always love collabs for their diversity in animation style and humor. To put it simply, this didn't fail to deliver that signature collab feel.
The graphics and animation very good, for the most part. It was all fairly equal throughout all the participants which gives any collab a more "unified" feeling.
My one criticism for this collab is that most of the pieces seemed to lack a punchline at the end of each author's piece. If this was meant to be a more serious flash, then that's fine too, I just thought that it lacked a bit in the humor department.
Overall this was a really great collaborative effort. Good animation from a lot of good, talented flash authors. Good work!
Oh, and I knew SOMEBODY had to do Guitar Hero with Dragonforce. Nice job on that! XD

Assios responds:

Thanks! I'll try to put some humour in the sequel. And yes, the Guitar Hero part was nice ;D :P

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 6]

Very Funny!

The graphics, though simple, were very good. I really liked the character designs, it was simplistic yet pretty original. (The only author that came to mind was Legendary Frog, which isn't a bad thing.) :P
The animation was also great. Everything flowed smoothly and it was really enjoyable to watch.
I really liked the voice acting in this. The voices really seemed to fit the characters in this flash, which always makes it easier to get absorbed into a short flash like this and really get the most from it. The audio quality was good, too. Nothing was too raspy or loud with the voices or sound effects.
The humor here was outstanding, really the highlight of the flash. It really had me laughing out loud. What made it so great was the fact that I DIDN'T see the joke coming, I really had no idea how it was going to end, until it did. :P A good, original punchline is really important in a funny short, and this really delivered.
I also liked how it was violent, but not overly gory. I love that happy-go-lucky type of style, it's a nice change from the blood and gore you see a lot of on Newgrounds. :P
Overall, this was a textbook example of what a good funny short should be. -Good graphics/animation, good audio and a great joke.
You did great work with this, good job!

Thank you, I agree with you about how there's so much gore on NG. I always try to give my fans something a little different.
