Dev's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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...

Once Again...

Like the first, it simply lacked everywhere and had no positive or redeeming qualities about it whatsoever.
I'm finding it near impossible to give any constructive criticisms on this flash, as there was really nothing ever started here that you could improve upon.
A screen with a bunch of random pictures is hardly a flash. It's terribly boring and pointless. I don't see how anybody could really enjoy this.
I think your wegra adventure flashes had much more potential than this. I would go that route when improving your flash skills in the future.

Not Good

That was awful and very spammy, to be honest. My best suggestion would be to simply put more effort into this. I couldn't tell if there was any kind of point to it, but a plot and some movement of a storyline would be a great place to start. That, or make a funny short. A flash doesn't have to be terribly long and of the greatest quality to be good. A witty joke paired with even a minimal story and/or quality can make an otherwise crappy flash decent.
I couldn't find anything redeeming about this, so it's kind of hard to suggest a place to start with this specific flash. The suggestions above are more for any future projects you make partake in.
I hope to see some better work from you in the future.

[Dragonball Z Episode 2]

Could Use Some Work

Well, the graphics and animation weren't too bad, but they seemed to be lacking still, for the most part. I know you used sprites in this, but seeing some more changes in facial expression would have made this better. Also some more close-ups of the characters. The one of Piccolo at the end was pretty cool. I thought the backgrounds weren't the greatest, though they did get the job done. They didn't seem to have too much going on, which made it kind of blah to watch.
The audio was good, the music really fit into the atmosphere of what was going on. The sound effects were also pretty good, no qualms there.
I didn't see this as a flash that was meant to contain much humor, but I got a few laughs when Goku threw Gohan up in the air when "teaching" him how to fly. :P
Overall, though this could use a lot of work, I did find it interesting and kinda entertaining. Good job.

[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.

[Free Falling Whale]

Haha

Very funny. Little random humor like this is just the kind of thing that I like. ;) I'm not sure if it was my computer, or what, but the music seems to cut out when the whale starts spinning around. (Towards the end of the loop)
The art was pretty darn good, if it were longer I would have given you a much higher score. :)
I could certainly see this fitting into a collab quite nicely, too bad you were too late. :P
Good work, man!

Viridis responds:

Awh thanks man, much appriciated. I think it was your computer because it runs fine for me, its cool that it loops sorta cause it wasnt supposed to. :P
I was happy for the most part with the art, but i thought the building didnt quite fit in. Ah well. :)

[Some Random Thing]

FUNNY

LOL this was simply hilarious, really one of the better sprite movies I've seen.
I really enjoyed how well this was put together, having a play/pause bar and a scene selection were really nice touches. The whole thing was just really bright and really well put together, for lack of a better word.
I don't even know where to start when talking about the humor, it was gold! The way you set it up as an outtakes reel was really funny, it really set up the comedic timing for this perfectly. To be honest, every one of these clips had me laughing pretty hard. You did a really great job with everything on this. Keep it up! :)

[Wolf Of City]

Very Nice

I liked this a lot. Your drawings were fairly good; the choice of music and way you presented the guy just sitting there thinking under a tree beneath the stars really gave it such a deep, meaningful and mystical feel.
I kind of interpreted the two meeting as almost a reunion. Like the girl was accepting him back again, or something. -Just the feeling that I got anyways. :P
The only criticism I have is the animation seemed to be a tad bit rough in spots. (Certainly not BAD as you stated! XP) It was certainly nothing to scoff at! This was a VERY good fist submission! Great work!

LonelyAngel responds:

:D ty!

just wait like... 1 year xD (joking )
