Marsupial's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Minefield]

Ahh

You see I already reviewed the older one so this won't be a real review but I'll mention the most imprtant points again.

The graphics were crappy. Stickmen are usually rubbish unless drawn with some style instead of generic anorexics like in this one. The story was quite unclear and I didn't know what was going on. Read my full review on the improved version too.

[Minefield I]

What on earth was that?

Befor I write this review let me say that I like you Frenzy. I think you're a cool guy and I don't mean to offend you.

(- The Good -)

Errm the sound effects were rather good and insync. The music also rocked. I liked the eerie panting thing at the beggining and you had a proper preloader and an opening.

(- The Bad -)

They are Sticks... Sticks are crap... The flash was confusing and unrealistic. How could it be 10 times better than your last? The menu was untidy and the sticks didn't even have faces. It's also far too short. Who the hell is McGregor? What is going on? You need to answer all these questions in the beginning. And WTF was that KM doing in the background. Hidden meaning?

(-- Overall --)

This was disappointing, take the preloader and the opening, take the story and start fresh. But take your time and don't use sticks.

[Graham's Weird Day (1/3)]

Lol

(- The Good -)

It was very good for a weekly flash. Pretty funny and I'm actually waiting for the next one purely to see what happens to Graham.
You included a replay button which is always a good thing ang the character wasn't TOO badly drawn.

(- The Bad -)

Quite short and the animation was a bit crappy. He didn't even walk, he floated to his house. Somehow his monopoly hotel of a home SWUNG OPEN to let him in. Come on, there wasn't even a door. You could have tried recording your own voice for the narrator aswell instead of relying on Microsoft Sam or whatever that machine is called. (Speakonia?)

(-- Overall --)

A short, amusing, quickly made flash. It raised a smile and a tear at the same time. (Tear because you could have made it a monthly flash, and improved the quality)

"the character wasn't TOO badly drawn."

And I could improve. :)

"He didn't even walk, he floated to his house."

lol, it's my laziness.

"Somehow his monopoly hotel of a home SWUNG OPEN to let him in. Come on, there wasn't even a door."

Monopoly Hotels don't have doors, so that's why it swung open for Graham to go in. :P

"You could have tried recording your own voice for the narrator aswell instead of relying on Microsoft Sam or whatever that machine is called."

I prefer the narrator to have a speakonia voice.

"Tear because you could have made it a monthly flash, and improved the quality"

But a monthly flash would mean less flashes from me and less fun. :P Thanks for the long review.

[Shroomy Chaos / Paranoia]

Gruesome

(- The Good -)

Excellent choice of music. Stylish graphics gave the movie gave the movie an edge. Disgusting violence was used well. I love the way that you hid the play button in the head's eye.
The film was disturbing and in a way, teaches people not to take drugs. The animation was slick in some places. e.g bugs crawling.

(- The Bad -)

Not much. Sometimes the animation and drawings were rugged, but that just made the movie stylish and artistic instead of a flash masterpiece. Took a while to load which was annoying since I heard good things about your work. And finally, the character thing at the end was shown too quickly and I only caught half of it. Did I see the initials HAYF there?

(-- Overall --)

Awesome but disturbing. Rugged but Stylish. Good work. I want to see more. No I need to see more.

Catoblepas responds:

Yeah, you saw correctly. I didn't know what to call the thing, so I randomly named it HAYF as a joke. Thanks for the review btw.

[A Newgrounds X-mas Story]

Ouch

(- The Good -)

Decent graphics, you actually tried hard with the opening and it showed. Song was OK, good quality sound and so on.
It was also your first flash, and you did quite well for a first :)

(- The Bad -)

Took ages to long and was painful to watch because it was so slow. You should try to keep the size as low as possible. My crappy computer couldn't really handle it. Flashes based on flash documents are getting really boring, you should try to create your own character. Also the snow was dodgy.

(-- Overall --)

A good effort for your first flash, it needs improvement and for gods skae lower the filesize, some people DO have bottom of the ladder, crap computers. ;)

(-- Review Request Club--)

Dash-02 responds:

(- The Good -)
Well I do have to agree that after about 1 and half month's I did dramatically improve on my flash skills. Thanks
(- The Bad -)
If it was too short would you also out it instead of the too long part.
And yes, Flash files are getting old now.
(-- Overall --)
Yes I will try to lower those filter's it's just that I wanted for viewers to kind of like have a good impression of me and that I can make filter's do magic thing's. Also I tried to put more filter's and shit so you could wait a bit
Thanks for your review and wish you luck, I'm going to sleep!

[~BB~ Super Adventure #2]

What was that?

(- The Good -)

Nice music, the bit that was supposed to be shocking succeded in being shocking.

(- The Bad -)

Not even a real flash, not much proper animation, too random, the image and sound quality was poor and it was way too short.

(- Overall -)

The last part raised a dry smilie, but apart from that this is a poor flash with no real effort. What's the song at the beginning called?

Rigormort1s responds:

It is, in fact, a real flash dummy ;)

[Destructionized]

Good, good

This flash had basically everything it needed. The remote control section was great, and some of the effects you used were also great, such sa the part where the main character was hunched over in the desert, and his shoulders were bobbing up and down. The little menu thing was a nice touch, and helped me realise how much effort you put into this flash as I watched some psrts frame by frame.
Also the music was most appropriate, such as the metal at hte beggining, and the RHCP light rock during the shooting mini-game, however it seemed to fade away. The flash wasn't really high quality, but all the stuff that you threw in still made it good, well done.

{- Review request crew -}

Soupcat responds:

Well, thanks man, really appreciate all those compliments !
I did spent some time on it, i would say about 4 months, wich includes brakes of weeks xD and waiting for the audio, wich evetnually didn't arrive and had to do it myself then in a rush :p apperantly it turned out quit good. I must say a big thanks for watching some parts FbF, nice to hear some people actually get into your animations! When wathcing the "better" stuff i tend to do this as well and review those parts, but i doesn't often get noted.
But you will stay in my memory, friend.

gotta <3 RHCP
Cheers

[Break in and your fired 7]

Not bad at all.

Lip syncing was O.K but voice acting poor. The facial expressions are awesome and I love that song at the end.
Whats it called?

Drumunit responds:

Send me a message, why was the voice acting poor? I know the audio quality and and that type fo stuff was bad. You may be able to hear some eidts too. Which reason why? Song: For The Love Of Money - The O'Jays

[Chaos Trick-Or-Treating]

Quite long-lasting and boring.

The high-pitched voices were annoying and all to similair.
Some good work with sprites though, and I got a few dry laughs from the whole thing.

VitorAraujo responds:

I used high-pitched voices because I wanted to sound like a little kid.

[Bahamut's Friday the 13th]

Hmm

Well, it wasn't that bad, but Why did it take more than 1 person to make it. By the way where did you get that dragon sprite.
The voices were good but quite odd, plus the flash didn't have much to do with friday 13th.

kinggila responds:

"Well, it wasn't that bad, but Why did it take more than 1 person to make it."

I credit people by co-authoring them.

"By the way where did you get that dragon sprite."

Google.

"the flash didn't have much to do with friday 13th."

There was unluckiness. :P
