Marsupial's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

If Why Why Not?

DRINK BOLOGNA!

[Sherbert the Cat 3-2]

It was allright.

(- The Good -)

Nice music and sound effects. The characters were drawn rather well and you put a lot of effort into animating. You put links in your preloader which is good and the opening was also pretty funny and a solid start.

(- The Bad -)

The plot wasn't exactly original and you could have worked out a better one before you started. At times the animation was very slow like the words were being typed up in that ball thing. It could have been very good apart from the slowdown.

(-- Overall --)

Not a bad flash but a bit unoriginal with wacky characters thrown in. Keep it up.

[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.

[Duck Luck Intro. (Old)]

Well, it's only an intro...

(- The Good -)

I liked you preloader, very cool. The rolling tape thingy displaying different slides was also effective. Your characters are drawn well and they look pretty varied. Nice choice of music helps intruige people. :-)

(- The Bad -)

Nothing really, although I think that you should have shown a couple of scenes of Duck Luck in action.

(-- Overall --)

Pretty basic, nothing special. But I have to say, I'm looking forward to watching future episodes. Your Flash skills are promising.

[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. ;)

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!

[CornFlakes]

Pretty funny.

(- The Good -)

Quite funny and nice voices, and characters. I like the way that the main character just shrugged his shoulders and walked off after finding all his friends dead, that was funny.

(- The Bad -)

The graphics weren't that bad they were a bit lopsided and need a lot of improvement, including more detailed drawings. The pre-loader had nothing to do with the actual flash. At what point did that guy have a gun? Also the skip button was very tempting. I pressed it and missed part of the flash. That was unnescesarry.

(-- Overall --)

A quite funny, quite random flash with good voice, but on a whole, it needs plenty of work to be a serious contender.

[Brain Damage!!]

Original

(- The Good -)

Solid visuals, good chice of song. The movie is very original and pretty random. But in a good way.

(- The Bad -)

Preloader needs work and the animation, is smooth but a bit weird. Apart from the a good, twisred animation.

(-- Overall --)

Messed with my head a bit, but great. Good stuff.

[~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 ;)

[Homeland]

Nice try

{- The good -}

I like the way you used your own song, the movie had a nice message to it and the concept was good.

{- Improvements -}

The visuals were pretty shoddy and the animation poor, and you could have had sound effects along the music, as the music is pretty basic and simple. If your serious about making movies, take more time on them.

{- Overall -}

Pleaty of room for improvement, but this remains a decent flash that deserved to get through the portal.
