MetalDart's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strawberry Goes Camping]

Great Clock Crew Flash!

Those graphics were very crisp and clean and were excellent wuality. I liked how you used great songs like Highway to Hell in a very good situation. The humor was very good, but may sound better if it's not in Speakonia (but that's what makes Clock Crew the Clock Crew). IT may seem wierd for people who have not followed CC history with Ki10. I liked the interactive menus, and the humor is a great addition to this flash. Overall, great animation, and seems like one of the better Clock Crew flashes. You should be proud. Responses appreciated.

CrustClock responds:

Thanks for the review! I tried to make it so that it wasn't necessary for people who don't know about ki1O, he could just be the 'bad guy'. Thanks for the comments.

Good day.

[Modern Art]

Funny, and a bit Strange

That ending sure caught me off guard, and I had to watch it twice just to make sure I didn't passover something. The shading on that squirrel and the graphics overll were pretty good, but I felt like you could have done more and were leaving us short. The sound was pretty good, and the preloader christmas song was catchy too. This flash is pretty funny, but it would be nice if you added more from a plot to more characters.

yes yes, this was actually a test to see how people would react to Rel the Squirrel...people seem to like the way he's drawn :) but one person thought he was a beaver XD...

thanks for the review

[Chicken Suit for the Soul]

Short and Sweet

When I first opened the file, I saw a very cool unique style and heard a very catchy tune. I thought this flash would be fun, and you did not dissapoint. The graphics were pretty cute and that is a very unique style ans should keep it up. THe song in the background sounds pretty familiar and went very well with this flash. Not much violence, but this was good for a chuckle. Overall, cutesy graphics, but you stopped it once I got into it.

...you probably recognize the music from the SWITCH commercials from Apple computer...

thanks for the review...

[Daily Short]

Short and Has Room for Improvement.

So, the overall animation really had no plot, the graphics were subpar, and you should try making it longer. The graphics were mediocre at best, and there wasn't that many oppurtunities for you to show the graphics you can do. The sound was alright, nothing too new or great. The violence was there, but didn't play any role. Overall, you have rooms for improvement, but good first try.

No shit.

[Happy birthday Afro_Stud!]

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Afro Stud! That was a quick and funny flash for your birthday, and I enjoyed it. The preloader graphics were so amazing, and the switch to the simplistic graphics made me laugh. The sound was good, but the YTMND sound quality was a little bad. I found the account deletion very funny, and I wish you a very happy Birthday!!!
Grade: B+

Yes, I tried to get the quality right, but I couldn't, so I thought "Hey, I can piss off some n00bs with this."

[All Your Owls]

What you say?!

This was a good AYB flash, and I enjoyed the images very much, even some I haven't seen! But down to the point, it may have seemed like just another AYB parody. The grpahics were just a bunch of pictures and text, and you didn't use the original opening in Zero Wing. It would have been better (to my opinion), if you put the owls head on the original characters. The "song" was pretty clear and the synching with the pictures was perfect. Not really violent, but I still found the images funny. Overall, Good job, but may seem like just another parody.
Grade: B-

Paradox responds:

THIS WAS MY FIRST REVIEW EVER LOLOLOL

[Cigaro]

That was an interesting flash.

When I first saw Cigaro as the title, I knew it was going to have the SOAD song. And to my surprise, it has Final Fantasy characters in it along with LOLercopters and Lollerskates! Two things you would never expect to mix just have and it feels so good. For improvements, the FF characters really don't move except for their mouths, so more movement would bring more viewer's attention. The sound was great quality and had great synching. I found it humorous, even though that may have not been a concern. Overall, Great job, but more movement would be nice!

[StopMotion Fun!]

That was creative

I would have never thought of changing teeth or eating a palm pilot. The concept and stopmotion was very good and I enjoyed it very much. You don't get that many points in graphics, because I don't believe people should count as graphics. The only problem about the stop motion, no one moves or eats that fast. One minute you have a book in your hand, next frame you took it away creating the illusion that it was in your mouth. It would have been nice for a story or at least see more of you. So overall Jimmy, that was a great stopmotion, and I want to see more!
Grade: B

JimmyDodger responds:

Thanks for the good review. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. Like you said though, I guess I should go a bit slower when moving. It was pretty hard though as one of my hands were clicking the mouse taking in each frame and the other hand was doing whatever I was doing. If you watch it carefully, you can only see both of my arms in only a few sketches.
I don't really see myself making a storyline out of a stopmotion movie with people in it. There's claymation I guess.. Well, we'll have to wait and see!

Thanks for the good review once again.

[Ness Goes to the Arcade]

It was alright

The flash animation was mediocre at best. Instead of focusing on the negatives, I will focus more on improvements: Your text moves too slow. Many of us can read faster. Also, when Ness blacks out, there is one pixel you forgot to shade in. I played Earthbound, and I don't think you could climb down like that, so that made me a little frusterated on how you didn't make it like the game. It was a pretty good parody if you played the Earthbound series, and it was alright. There's a lot of room for improvement, and I think you can do it.
Grade: C

FattyWhale responds:

Ness climbed down like that just because I was lazy and thought it would be boring to have him walk around the whole way.

[Brother Battle]

Good for a first

Nice sprite animation, but it was too short. I won't hold that against you because it's your first flash, but you do have room for improvement. It needed to be a little faster paced, and some actual voices would be nice instead of ones found in video games. The movement of the sprites and the sound synching was great, but some of the jokes I didn't find funny. Overall, great sprite animation for the first time, but you know what you need to improve.
Grade: B-

Guitardude responds:

Thank you for the review. And you know, you are right. I know I can improve. the second sprite flash movie i've been working on already has many little improvments. So by the looks of it, the next one should be better, and hopefuly longer.
