Jollesax's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Because I can-]

Quite nice

Short but nice. I just couldn't help noticing that the lines in the background sometimes flash through the figure.

TheMillz responds:

Thanks for pointing that out, thought I got all those lines. Now I can fix it before my critique on Friday : )

[[KK] Ducky ducky]

I'm amazed!

I thought I was going to torture myself again with some seizure-like backgrounds, but no, you got me there kiddie. There is real animation! It was even so hypnotizing I watched the background twice. That makes two points. And I really liked the intro screen, very nicely done.

Given the comments on other reviews, I guess you're not really interested in hearing that you might think about a little story line or some joke to throw in. Not much more work, and you would actually get a good flash. But being experimental, I guess that was not the point.

Magyar responds:

I submit everything I make which includes practice

[The Wolfman]

nice but not done

It's a nice flash, I liked it. However, it looks greatly unfinished (a moon with clear corners at the bottom, a wulf that is nothing but some shapes, and unfilled eyes). A preloader would be nice too, as it runs very slow and not synchronous with the sound at all the first time I played it.

[Circle n' Square]

Not enough

I guess I'm going to disagree with the majority here, for following reasons :

- animation is lacking to completely absent. As with most of those shape thingies. OK, the first one was original, but now it's just a copy of a once fun idea. It requires as much thinking as a stickyman-fight and less animation skills.

- the joke, well there was no joke, except when you find childish profanity funny. Alas I've grown out of that age quite a while ago.

- the voice acting earns you one star. Although also this one is only mediocre, and the same quality or better can be found in quite some noob submissions.

I'm probably just an old cynic fart, but this is my honest score : 1 star

[Triangle n' Octagon]

poor performance

Another shape story... I cannot score this higher than one, for the following reasons :

- the animation is lacking to completely absent. Any kid with five minutes of patience and access to flash can pop this.

- the joke is a variation on a very, very old theme. Anybody who watched any kind of time travel movie can dream this kind of jokes by now. Timing was not good, and the punchline didn't work.

- the voice-acting was mediocre. I've heard better (and worse) than this in noob submissions.

So in conclusion : no effort, no joke, no smile on my face = no points.

JohnnyUtah responds:

INCORRECT SIR

[Stamper N' Johnny]

Not enough, by far

It is supposedly a parody on the shapes thing going on here, but alas, I cannot rate it higher than 3 , for following reasons :

First the positive : the drawings are actually rather cool. They got you the 2 points.

Then the rest :
- Stamper is not understandible sometimes, and your mic is overpowered (the obvious cracking). That can way better.

- The story is ...err... well, more or less absent. Apart from the obvious reference to male love, which gets a bit repetitive after seeing that every day in at least 10 other submissions. It's not like you did something original with it either. Contrary to a few of the shape thingies, the "joke" was just lame.

- The animation is poor to almost absent. One extra point for the fact that at least the lipping is synchronized.

Nice song though.

[60Secs: Arnold Governator]

No movie, just a link

Alas I couldn't watch the movie. But the link you provided contains nice material

[Regular Guy Ep. 1]

Nice start

The old movie thing was a very nice touch. But you might want to tone down a bit on the flickering and make it a bit more random to make it more realistic. I wouldn't be able to watch that thing for 30 more seconds I'm afraid...

All in all, nice job!

[The Last Minute Shopper]

awesome story

awesome animation too. Nothing else to add.
