Blessing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Duran VS Crono & Randi]

Good except...

The music was perfect. The many many "OK"s were technically interactivity. It had it's share of violence. The story was okay. I usually don't give decent scores to sprites, but I can overlook that this time. My only real problem, is that the "To Be Continued" came just at the peak of my anticipation. The excitement, the intrigue, and... well... your score... were all building up and were nearly to the peak and then... Boom. Due to that, my vote will be a 3 instead of the 5 you almost had, mwahahahaahah.

[unfinishedfight]

Sticks... Fighting without a plot... That's new...

I don't know what movie the last reviewer was watching but the sounds weren't "right on". Actually, I think the sounds were the worst part. Almost half of the hits in this flash were silent (most closer to the end of the flash than the beginning) and that took a lot away from the flash. There was no plot (and if you're gonna say "well, xiao xiao has no plot", I agree, which is why xiao xiao's score suffers with me too). The fights went quick (not quick like DBZ quick, but quick like 3-punches-opponent-dead-quick) . Overall, hurrah, you can do the only type of flash more common than the clocks: the plotless stickfight with no definate ending!

[Fight 7]

Well...

I can tell you put effort into this and it's really good... For sticks. Don't take this personally, but sticks take so much less effort than actually drawing people. So, it's not you, but I don't give very high scores to sticks, even the really really good ones. Btw though, what the hell were you thinking with that song?...

[olstik episode 1]

Amazing...

Not the flash, but the fact that it has such a high score after 102 votes. How? First of all, this is a stick movie with very little animation. No action at all. The music doesn't really fit. I guess the folder idea was okay, and I like the pencil, but the actual heart and soul of this flash (the characters) really weren't much... Not to piss you off, but you said yourself "i know it sucks" and I totally agree. If you find a way to make this series of yours entertaining you'll shock the hell out of me.

[t s u k i n o]

The sound got repetitive...

Allow me to translate for those who can't read the writing in this flash:

Girl:"I'm on the roof again, I must be thinking about suicide..."
Cat:"Don't do that, we all love you."
Girl:"Whoa, you can talk?!?"
Cat:"Damn it! DAMN IT!!! You aren't supposed to know!!!"
Girl:"It's okay, I-- Hey, what the hell is that big thing?!?"
Dragon:"Hey my bitch, come fly wit me, maybe I'll let you give me a dragon B.J."
Girl:"Well, okay, since I suddenly remembered I'm a bitch... er... witch."
After she flew for a while I lost interest though so after that you're on your own...

[The Strongest Preview]

Okay, listen up...

I like your style, and despite the fact that this preview only shows to people standing in different poses (no actual contact, thus you get a 0 for violence) I'm interested. I'm eager to see what you do with this but here's a little advice: Use more animation. Yeah, I did notice the hair, don't get me wrong, it looked great. I also noticed the way his chest seemed to blow... in the... wind???.... Uh.... Moving right along, my point is that animation makes any flash 20 times better. If someone can do animation WITHOUT STICKFIGURES it usually gets a good score from me. And with your art style you could have something as Ninjai the British little ninja (anyone else notice that?) or Genryu's blade (That's probably my favorite flash of all time). Good luck man!

[To Avenge his Wife]

THIS took u a while?!?... =\

The campfire in the opening was amateur artwork, but I hold no grudges there. The news broadcasts were probably the best part of this. The drawing of the abe lincoln lookalike (who i assume is the devil?) was reasonably drawn but where the hell was the animation??? Not even a motion tween (beyond the news broadcast). The skulls and stuff were spooky the first time but got boring. I started to think that you were some weird 21st century satanist who did your demonic rituals online, so out of fear that i was inadvertantly summoning the devil (and just plain boredom) i did in fact close the movie before it was done. This really doesn't make much sense and if you honestly spent more than an hour making this, i pity you.

sound-boy responds:

Abe Lincoln had a beard.

[Dragonball Evo. Trailer]

Let's take a look at this okay?

Your graphics gets a 6. The drawings were totally kick ass, much better than I can do, but you had no animation at all. It was just still pictures and motion tweens so a 6 you get. Sound gets a 6 too. It was clear, but it was very lonely being the only sound in the whole trailer/preview/whatever. Interactivity gets a 1, you have a replay button and any button is "interactive". Style is a 5. Aside from pretty drawings there's no real style to this so I WOULD give you a 2 if it wasn't for the fact that I must applaud how you used the same 2 or 3 pictures for 2 minutes and made it seem like something else was gonna happen. Violence, without any motion any form of violence is almost impossible. 0 for violence, but that's no biggie. 0 for humor (if I gave you any higher you might be insulted right?) Overall I give a 5. I'm going to watch this series, you've got my interested, but my ratings are based on each individual flash as it comes. Basing an overall rating on JUST this flash... 5.

[Perfect Kirby 2]

Not too shabby...

I could tell a lot of effort was put into this. The humor was a tad dry, but it had it's moments when it was pretty good. The action scenes were good. The art was nice (more so the backgrounds than the people) and there were some parts of the animation that was pretty impressive. There were a few parts where the shape of the lips didn't match what was being said, but I know that's tricky to do. Your sound was probably the only real downer. Most of your shouts were echoed (as if you recorded in a small room) and I wish you could've kept kirby's "cute" voice from the video games. Overall though, I'm a big fan of kirby and I've played through perfect dark and I think you've done them both justice here.

[On The Run - Trailer]

WTF?!?

Did I miss something? This was already submitted. I know this because I watched it back then (and gave it a much friendlier score, don't worry). What's the deal with this?
