Blessing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Search for the money tree]

Well...

I can't get the curtain to open no matter how much I click. And you must have foolishly added frames to prevent people from right-clicking and choosing play, cause that doesn't work either. I think you need to get a firmer grasp on programming.

MFRS responds:

that is weird, cause i have tried and it worked. Thanks for letting me know of that error. I will fix it as soon as possible

[Best Movie Evah]

The clouds traveled overhead.

And as I lay on my back watching them, I soiled myself. "This," I thought to myself, "must be epiphany."

[Jerry 2]

Beat the shit out of that dead horse!

The original and the closet were both great. I absolutely loved them. Jerry's getting a little stale though (and the spin-off characters were stale before you started). Can we please just let him rest in peace? Pretty please?

[MvC3: Dante]

Good, but mistitled.

The art is awesome and the voice acting is really solid and top quality, however this doesn't really fit in with the other Marvel Vs Capcom parodies that focus on one character so it seems an odd choice to use the title scheme/ loading screen/ ending of the others. Plus this seems to be 3/4ths about Morrigan with Dante's role a mere cameo of a few seconds in the beginning. If you really did feel the need to follow in the others' footsteps you should have called this MvC3: Morrigan. I don't like being lied to and mislead, so you lose points for that, but otherwise this was a pretty solid flash. Well done.

redminus responds:

Who's Morrigan?

[eyes wide open]

Hmm...

Good practice I suppose, but if you stick to tracing videos you'll never truly shine. My advice is to try your luck at pulling the images straight from your head. Only then will you really know where your talent stands.

Eightsquare responds:

thanks for the opinion, but i rotoscoped this video to make the character resonate as more real compared to some of the stuff arround him.

next animation i have planned will have no rotoscoping though (it kills my hands)...

[Mortal Kombat FAILtality]

Mostly enjoyable but...

A lot of these I really enjoyed. You used some clever ideas and I got a few laughs. But everything Stryker said was damn annoying. Hated him with a passion.

[Halo Reach Fail]

Not much to it.

Some spartans try to fight an overwhelming number of enemies and don't last very long. Nothing too witty or funny (aside from maybe the spartan in hell at the end, that made me laugh). The easter eggs were pointless and dumb though. Your art was nice though, kudos on that.

[Justin Bieber gets shot]

Hmm...

As a rule of thumb, if your flash is less than thirty seconds long, contains a cutout photo of someone's head, or is based solely around the idea of "a lot of people hate this person so I want to show that I fit in" without any wit or effort put behind it then you probably need to go back to the drawing board. In this case you've hit all 3, and you can't even tell what the one speaking part in this flash is saying.

However, as an experiment to prove that if your theme is "Die Justin Bieber" you need absolutely no skill or talent to make a flash movie and have it pass judgement you have succeeded. Kudos.

madwalrus responds:

Err, ok, I was just pissing about. I'm not exactly entering it to any festivals. Also I don't want to 'just fit in', that totally isn't what I was thinking and not what I'm about. He just gets on my tits.
But thankyou, for your rather condescending review. I presume your stuff is really excellent to make such judgements on others.
Love, Wally the Walrus xxx

[Rise Of The Gunslinger]

So...

At first I was unimpressed with the art and disappointed that there was no voicework (silent flashes usually aren't my cup of tea), but having watched the whole thing I now really really like this flash. It was an interesting little tale and you saw it through. I applaud that. Hope to see more by you soon.

savage011 responds:

thanks blessing, im happy that you gave my flash a chance.

[Luigi's Wonderland]

Longer than it should be.

This was kind of a music video more than anything. By 10 or 15 seconds the entire punchline of "what luigi does" had been covered, that would have been the prime time for Mario's return. Wasn't too wild about the song, so playing through so much of it made this flash feel like it was dragging on. Reasonably well animated though and well synced, good job on that.
