misterjoe's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Santa Ho]

Caught me by suprise,

I was drinking a coke whilst watching this and at the last part I choked on it laughing. That was sick and twisted in a really nice way. All my five belong to this one, merry xmas.

[Kong]

An action packed masterpiece!

Absolutely fan-feckin-tastic!

You have got to be a major Waschowski Brothers fan to have created a homage to the Matrix like this. The scenes were cut perfectly and the soundtrack rocked to the visuals.

I thought the red and black part to be the best, I really felt the tense atmosphere at that part of the movie.

The flo-motion bullet time effects are brilliant too.

Although, I must admit I didn't like the ending much though, by that I mean the last two seconds with the knives in the eyes. The masked guys should have won. But who cares about the last two seconds when the rest is this good, huh?

[.:EFFECTS:.]

Wow!

I never thought something so random could be so great. The effects, explosions, blood bursts, zooms, blurs and flashes are quite tremendous. Well done. It all looks so crisp and smooth.

Great soundtrack mix too, really adds to the feel.

The most organized and chaotic oraganized chaos ever! ??? mmm?

[Bad Guys Go To Hell]

Man, that was hilarious.

The scripted dialogue was great, really quirky and original. Love the voice acting and the soundtrack is crisp and clear. The toony art work I think is great (even if they don't have mouths).

This is the first BadGuys animation I have seen, I am going to check out the others now because I really loved this.
Thanks for the laughs.

Thank you. Hope you like the others.

[ATU:Delusions of Grandeur]

Very atmospheric...

...and the artwork was good. One of the previous reviewers criticises the variation in style in each section of the movie but I think it's a plus point.

The first part is a dream, so it has to have a different feel anyway and that's what you've done. The second part is kinda space-age so you've gone for the sci fi anime style, and the last section has a uses a more earthed (normal) cartoon style. I think that's class.

I'm looking forward to the future episodes.

[Death - Inevitable]

That was a good for your first,

most first submissions are really bad and end up getting blammed but this was definately a passable attempt. It's clear that you have a good grasp of flash and this is a sturdy foundation to begin with.
Put a bit more imagination into your next work though, try to give even simple concepts like this a unique twist. Steer clear of predictability and try to surprise your audience with something they won't expect.
Your artwork is good, but this would look better if you experimented with some shadows, sometimes it looked a bit too bright and breezy when it should have been dark and moody.

[The New Guy]

That was great!

Really funny and original. The animation and characters were brilliant and I'd love to see more from them. I must check out your other stuff based on this. Well done.

**FAVE**

[Agressive dream]

That was excellent!

Well done, the art work was really good. Great atmospere, the sound effects were minimal but well used. Weird and quirky.

[Empire Strikes Back]

Great, good rotoscoping.

I like this. A great reproduction of the saber fight between Vader and Luke. It was all exactly like Empire. There's nothing wrong with that, but one thing bothers me...

To quote you from the authors comments you "would encourage anyone taking on flash to learn how to take your time and draw frame-by-frame because I'm sick of flash animators who have a character float past the screen and claim they "animate" "

You don't actually mention that it was rotoscoped. That would be harsh talk coming from a professional animator. Coming from a keen amatuer, it's just plain stupid.

The lightsaber effects were awesome.

[Lost in the darkness]

A very well crafted flash,

the content was quite depressing but the artwork and style were solid and unique. Great colours and strokes. The visual ideas are excellent (TVstatic, Xrays) and you really have nailed a sad feeling in the tone.

The music fits perfectly with the flash too. Did you do the artwork after hearing the music? Either way I thought this was very well done.

youme responds:

I drew the very first frame (after the preloader) before hearing the music, then i heard the music and worked out what to do for the rest of it. look out for the sequel, its on its way XD
