Little-Rena's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bahamut "Happy New Year!"]

Okay Then

Well congrats on getting the first submission of 2008 again, lol. As for the flash itself, well it seems a lot like just a collection of some flash from over the year, it would have been much better to see a flash with a plot and something diffrent than what has been submitted over the year, but eh.

Some of the opening graphics seemed a little rushed maybe, like very flat just like shapes with not much done to them, although if you didn't spend long on this it would explain the opening bit. The voice acting was fine apart from in some of the old parts where you have some a little too quiet, dobut you still have those sounds to edit unless you keep everything, lol.

Well, good luck with future animations and a happy late new year ;)

If I didn't have my Christmas flash to work on, I'd have thought of a better idea for the New Year, but hey, this is better than nothing.

Regarding the quiet voices, I assume this is for the top 10 favourite flash moments. Some I probably won't have as a WAV sound outside flash anymore since before I had an External Hard Drive, I had to delete as much files as possible to have some space on my Main Hard Drive and a lot of sound files were deleted to save space.

Thanks for the review Little-Rena.

[A Bahamut's Xmas Tale 2-2]

Alright

Well the menu was decent again which is okay and I see you have incuded a wide cast into this story as well as the ending which looks like it'll probably be included in a flash of its own and if it doesn't, I suggest you do because that might be pretty intresting to see a flash linked from this.

Everything else was pretty much like the first in terms of graphics, should really not keep things so flat because it can look pretty bad, so keep working on your drawing and everything, also find some shortcuts to animating in places, it might help with the looks, lol. Decent ending, not quite what I expected to see.

kinggila responds:

You mean like a Best of Bahamut? Don't worry, I'll be making another one of that when I have 95 flashes. :)

[A Bahamut's Xmas Tale 2-1]

Alright

Well the graphics could still do with some work and the animations, just as a suggestion, when you have someone holding a book like the carrol singers, hide the hands by covering them with the book, it saves drawing the hands holding it and might work, lol. Or keep working on trying to have them hold things insted of just having flat hands.

Some of the voice acting was good but other parts where a little off, also Afro_Stud talks a little quiet, maybe increase the volume or talk louder for those parts, lol. Still, decent story and time, also a good place to end it for the second part and the menu looked pretty decent too.

3/5

kinggila responds:

Ah, the graphics, one of my biggest weaknesses. I could have increased the volume of Afro_Stud's line, but then you'd hear that annoying sound in his recordings more. :(

[Textual Adventures III]

Alright

Well I have to say this wasn't too good, the animation of the sun could be much better and the background seems very lacking as well as much of it just seeming to be very random. Nothing seems to fit very well and the whole plot is kind of eh, could work on the story a little and the backgrounds.

I don't see too much wrong with having text as characters if that's what you want to go for but the other graphics could be improved a little. It would also be nice to hear some music or some form of sound all through the flash and maybe improve the way the text is presented.

Thanks for the review!

[Knuxrouge's Newgrounds]

Not Great

I don't really think this is very well presented, it's very diffrent from many of the other "My Newgrounds" flash I will say, but really it could do with so much more. The whole stage is just 4 sprites and no real background, there isn't anything to watch other than the text.

I would suggest having some backgrounds, switching from character to character on screen and giving something to watch, otherwise it can just come across as long and unintresting. Try to add something the viewer can look at and enjoy, also voices would be good to have, maybe get a voice actor for some.

The idea of being diffrent from the others is good but the way you have presented it, in my view could really be improved. Good luck in future.

knuxrouge responds:

Well, in the term of flash and substance, I wasn't opting to impress anyone.
It was meant to be funny, cut and dried.
Too bad you didn't like for alot of people did.

[One Cowgasmic Christmas]

Silly Short

That was kind of a silly little short, it was pretty simple in terms of looks and some work could be done on the animation in parts, the simple art is okay though. The sound was good although there was a part which sounded a little poor, but eh.

The fact that this seemed to be building up to a large action scene and then didn't was in someway a let down but also that was the silly part of the flash. It would have been nicer if it was a little longer because it did seem a little short. Still, pretty decent though some things do need work. Leep working at it!

Thanks

[Madness: PathwayThroughNG]

Alright

Well the graphics where good in most parts and the animation was also pretty decent, though some of it could do with some work on it. I do like the fact that you redrew the Madness charector as oppose to using sprites, the voice acting was also good for most parts, so nice work on that.

My only major concern is that to me it just seemed to go on and on, it didn't get the the point very fast and after a while it just became a little dull to stay intrested. Maybe try some diffrent humour thoughtout and such, I know you tried by changing location but to me, that just didn't work. Pretty good other than that though.

swiftstylerX responds:

I agree with everything you said. Which is why the next one is going to be SOOO much better than this. Thanks for the review!

[LL - Children]

Haha!

That was actually quite amusing, I thought it was going to just end where they walk off but the ending was really what made this funny. The graphics where good, though not much change in the background or anything. The animation was alright, not anything special but still it did it's job and the voices where clear.

Although it was short, it was still good, making it longer might have killed the joke really, but still I thought this was pretty neat overall, good job on it and I hope you have good luck with your future flash works :)

5/5

MagicWandLock responds:

Thank you for constructive criticism.

[Sonic: The Crybaby]

Heh

It didn't really make a great deal of sense to be honest and I can't really say that I found it that funny either, it was silly and didn't really go anywhere. More of a plot or something would probably have helped, also the text was kind of eh, could have improved the look of the box and not have some silly words used.

The animation of sprites was okay, though there wasn't a great deal and it was a little short, maybe work on a story that will last for longer and show your ablity a little more. Keep working at it though and good luck with future flash.

The-Red-Jack responds:

I was just trying to use flash then my friend told me that it would be a great idea if I made a short movie, and I can't think of a good storyline. Thanks for the review

[Christmas In Jimtopia]

Alright

It was pretty good, the menu buttons where pretty nice and the background was also good I have to say. The flash itself had some good music, it fit in pretty well and the plot was pretty decent too, although the people are drawn a little bad, but nevermind. Most of the animation was decent and such, also decent sound effects where used.

The end part was kind of eh, in the chair he seemed to have flat legs, you might want to work on that, would look better and maybe give them voices as oppose to text, but otherwise pretty good overall, keep it up.

3/5

Jimtopia responds:

Yeah the flat legs kind of bugged me a bit as well, but it was late, and I wanted to get it done, so I honestly just settled for it. Thx for the review though.
