trekopep's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[RedHand]

Been waiting for this for a while...

I wasn't really sure what to expect. Seeing your other stuff, I had expected it to be pretty good, especially after seeing the preview. But never did I think it would be quite as good as it was. I wouldn't say it was as good as Castle, but it certainly came very close. And anyway, it's different, so I can't entirely base it off of that anyway.

The music, sound effects, animation, voices, and pretty much everything else was absolutely amazing. Every so often I'd see a little flaw or glitch (The file in part A flashed the cover a couple of times), but for the most part, the movements were fluid. The storyline has me pretty interested. I could do with a bit more action, but I'm guessing we'll see some more of that later. This set up the story well.

Oh, and keep in mind I'm still here if you need another voice.

Hmm... so except for maybe a couple things that didn't work perfectly with the scene select and stuff, (when I tried playing the movie at first, SceneSelect at the top right was undefined, and the movie stopped before it reached part A, unless I'm mistaken) this was absolutely amazing. I was completely hooked. I AM completely hooked.

Great job, and keep up the hard work. You, and everyone else working on this.

Shayphis responds:

Hey man!

Thanks for that :) and sorry i didn't have room for your voice in this episode, i'll try to see if any other openings come up in the future for you.

I'll try not to have the same errors in future installments ^^

[Blue. Teaser [canceled]]

Looks pretty cool.

Everything was well drawn and looks interesting. I like how the main character (or what I ASSUME to be the main character) looks. The way the purple reef-things open and close gives them the neat effect of almost glowing. The person sitting in the chair (and the others around too) reminds me of a zora, which I like. Also, those armored guys looked cool.

It is a kind of short trailer, so I can't get much of an idea of what it's about. But it looks very promising. Can't wait!

OfficialFredLozano responds:

Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed. Full-length trailer in Feb. and full flash in March.

[ABunchofNESsedUpCrap 2]

Scha-wheet.

That, my friend, was epic. I found most of the jokes funny, even though I haven't played most of the games. The music was good, the sound effects were good, the animating was smooth.

ShOIRahUAKEHN!!!

Probably my favorite part. Maybe because it happened so often. :P

I don't really have any complaints. Keep making cool animations like this! Or, well, any cool animation will do. Good job!

Gunstar-X responds:

Shoryuken, and thank very much dude!

[Leave Your Brain Behind]

Nice.

That was a pretty cool display of fbf. I liked the roughness of the images, and everything was smooth animation-wise. I really enjoyed how everything turned into blobs and stuff like that. Though I'm not a huge fan of the all black and white style, I think this animation was pretty good. Keep it up. :)

KidneyThief responds:

Thank you very much

[Within Frame]

Neat.

I didn't really understand its meaning, but either way, I'm sure it was very meaningful in many ways. Really cool, though a bit short, but that's fine. You have a very simple animating style, which I like. It kind of adds to the feel of this little animation. I think the music went very well with it too.

Keep up the good work. :)

Foxcato responds:

Thank you:)

[Link, Wake Up Dammit!]

Not bad!

This was pretty funny. It didn't really make me laugh too hard or anything, but the gun kinda made me laugh. The pictures were well drawn, and the sound quality was good. The ending was pretty funny too, although I think you should have the spider fall much faster at the beginning and slow down at the end.

Good job!

Ryan094 responds:

Thanks, and yes the spider. That's a good point.

[Lime Green]

ha!

So-so. I've just seen so much better. It was a bit too short, and things weren't really "animated" that much. They were just kinda moved around. On the plus side, it was a good song choice (in my humble opinion), and the limes were cute. ;)

Also, it might be a good idea to make the song fade out instead of just cutting off like that. But I liked it overall, and think you should make more. Wait, did you make this in just a day? Well, if so, that's pretty good! :)

K-Guare responds:

Hehe, yeah i didn't work on this too much, but
i was just drawing and thought a lime/ice cream combination
would be pretty funny to put on NG.
All i did was use motion tweens and keyframes lol,
i wouldn't call that animating at all. :]
I'm not an animator anyways, or at least
if i am i'm certainly not that good at it.

But glad you enjoyed it nonetheless, thanks for the review. :]

[A Totally Random Day]

It's different.

It wasn't that bad. I kind of liked the "non-violent" idea of it. (Just because it's different, you know?) The storyline wasn't great, and that was a kind of weird way to end it, but I guess it was okay.

Also, the action was very slow. Mostly when they're fighting with pipes and stuff. Everything was pretty good, though. It was a smooth animation, in my opinion.

But yeah, like DaronK said, it dragged on a bit and was too slow. (Meaning it didn't have enough action, NOT that it was lagging.) Also, you might want to develop a bit more of a storyline. Either that, or have no storyline at all.

So keep trying. That was pretty good, but could've been much better.

Crazymonkey154 responds:

True, this IS different. However, this actually had no true storyline to tell the truth. Glad you liked it.

[Madness Portal Short]

Awesome.

That was really short, and really funny. I've always been a big fan of portal animations and madness animations, so this was a good combination. If you make the full version I'll be happy.

I gave it a kinda low score just because it was over so fast. BUT. For the length it was, you did totally awesome. I loved how fast the guy was flying through the portals (or falling, or whatever), and the ending was pretty unexpected.

Keep up the good work! I hope to see more from you!

Methlodis responds:

As long as I make people happy, from the small measily life I seem to have been given.........I think I can live through it. Cheers!

[Super Mario Invaded]

You got me hooked.

I won't say it was the best thing on the planet. It wasn't. It was pretty short, didn't have much action, and not too much of the storyline was revealed. BUT, I still liked it. I haven't seen too many animations with NES sprites, so that's a bit unique. Also, although I know it might ruin the feel a bit, I would suggest putting some better music into it sometimes. I know, I know. You don't have to if you really don't want to.

Even though the storyline didn't seem too great, I still really liked this. It seemed sort of unprofessional, and yet professional at the same time. It's kinda weird. :P

Personally, I thought the speech bubbles weren't too bad the way they were. But If you wanted to change them, that would be fine too.

Also, you mmight want to make a replay button, and maybe some sort of menu (although it's not necessary). If you don't know much actionscript, toss me a PM or something.

Anyway, good luck, and I hope to see more from you!

sleeeeep responds:

Yeah i should have put more story into it but i swear the 2nd will make up for that and be much longer. The music im trying to stay more towards new songs. i did some searching and found a buttload of 8-bit songs for part 2 to keep the nes feel to it. I sent ya a message as well for the menus.
thanks for the review
