Markface's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NG: A BBS Story [Teaser]]

Nice.

The story looks promising, of course you will have every single newground BBS user checking to see if they were included in it.

The animation is great, the idea looks good... overall this could be really good...

or really bad.

[Kronzo Fight Sessions #1]

Stop reusing images!

Think of something NEW! Stop using the same circle, bland looking characters and make something interesting. Those things look like they take all but 20 seconds to make, and I mean that quite literally.

The fight scenes are just the same thing, with the same SFX's... TRY... SOMETHING... NEW!

[The War (Part 4)]

Still needs alot of work!

The fight scenes were just tween and horrible SFX filled. YOU NEED TO START ADDING FRAME BY FRAME OR THIS WILL NEVER BE A GOOD SERIES!

[The War (Part 2)]

Use voicing.

To compensate for the bad visuals and horrible storyline, use voicing instead of text.

[The War (Part 1)]

... ok?

Learn to compress your music. 5KB for only 1 song and a couple of SFX's... there's tools out there to help you compress and select certain music properties for flash animation. Try Audasity, FL or Acid Studio.

The animation showed weakness, following the simplistic circle and 2 arms movement, it allowed you to move characters without showing any real detail, which is why the score is so low.

Along with this, I'm aware you're both following the simple kill people for no or poorly excerised reason. Think of a REAL plot, it doesn't always need to be around pointless voilence... make it realistic for once, people don't just kill for no reason in these enviorments.

Try harder, much harder.

PUT EFFORT IN IT!

I honestly thought this was intentionally bad. STOP doing the kill everyone for no reason shit... it's getting old.

Frenzy responds:

[Minefield]

It lacked.

Sorry, but this lacked alot of effort. This appears to be something whipped together in about 30 minutes... so I'll offer you a little advice.

Take your time... spend hours, even days fine tuning the simplist of scenes. Drop the sticks and move onto full body characters, put your OWN voice into the animation and actually FINISH the animation before you submit it.

You also need a plot, a GOOD plot... not the generic, kill everyone sort of thing. You can have great visuals and amazing animation, but without a plot it's not going to be exciting.

Frenzy responds:

Well, I can't save projects with my version (Im to cheap to pay for the full version, I just have the demo). Thanks for the review.

[My Creations 2]

Needs more.

Ok, I quite expected an animation from these little guys and was quite expected just to see profiles.

Work harder.

[Aladdin 3150]

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this peice. You took an original, fairy tale idea and made it your own grim and charasimatic style of story. This reminded me intensely of 'Red Riding Hood'.

The animation was amazing! Absolutely top of the line frame by frame work, perfect 3D modeling and some awesome stills and backgrounds just made this look so clean and well animated.

The storyline was quick, fast paced and you told exactly what needed to be told... it was always exciting, it was great...

It's what a flash should be.

[Super explosive Mario 64]

Could of been better...

The humor was dull and repetitive, and it seemed far too dependant on the hacks that you made for a game.

Youtube material. I don't care if you think this belongs on this site, I'm giving my opinion anyway.

UltramasterBDJ responds:

Okay, I see, so the movie didn't match your taste in humor. Ah well, your opinion, okay

Hm, yeah, the humor isn't very indepth.
Maybe I'll try to think of that in future hacking-moviez, but I doubt it'll actually work out with these kind of movies.

"it seemed far too dependant on the hacks that you made for a game"
Sorry you see that as a flaw, since it is EXACTLY the point of the whole movies I've been doing for over 2 years now. Present Action Replay / Xploder codes in a stylish and/or funny way.

Actually, I'm trying to stick more close to the codes, as I was already told by someone my movies would develop into a direction distracting from the actualy codes being used. :-p
