MetalDart's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Squaresville]

I feel nice today

This Flash was great, and after seeing your post about all the Naruto people dissing this Flash, I just felt like reviewing 10 and voting 5.

Now, the graphics were the best part. So many styles, so much attention to detail, it was an orgy for the eyes. I am glad you worked for those 7 months because it really shows.

The sound was good, I was expecting something a little more professional, but we're only human and do this for fun, so it was good as is.

Overall, I loved this flash Zekey. It was funny and I just couldn't help but smile while watching this Flash. I feel like this may go unnapreciated though, after all the time you spent on this. Oh wel;, I love it at least.
Grade: A+

Glad you liked it.
I dare say I think you have the longest list of favorite authors I ever clapped my eyes on!

[Phoenix Wrong 3]

Hahaha Very funny

Watching you create this Flash from the very beginning, was great. All the skits were good, and it has made me smile once again.

The graphics were still great. You've fixed some parts with fuzzy quality, and have improved greatly. The graphics were crisp and clear to the eyes, and I loved every second of it.

The sound was very clear. The mouth synching could have been improved, but there's not much you can do about it. So, good job, but has room for improvement.

I loved the humor. Especially the pornography skit. I don't know why, but I smiled.

Overall, great flash, and I just feel like giving it straight 10's this time.
Grade: B+ (Still has room for improvement)

AshfordPride responds:

I really can't believe how much better myflash skills have improved over the course of three sprite flashes. I've learned so much through all of them.

The fuzzy quality can be explained. These are sprites of the GBA version, not the DS version you are proably used to seeing. So, the sprites quality has been reduced.

I was considering doing the syncing at something higher than 20 fps, but I figured that 20 fps was sufficient. If I ever get around to a 4th, I'll try a higher fps count.

Thanks for the support man, you're the best around!

I wanted to make a Flash to this song

And you perfected it perectly. Even better than what I had in mind.

The graphics were great. Very clear and good to look at. Some parts seemed about average graphics though, but overall looked like there was a lot of detail.

The sound was good too. You can't go wrong when you use a song from Lazytown. The only part that bothered me was there was no lip synching. Even though they're clocks, it felt like you cut around the corners.

So overall, very good Flash and a great song, and very Happy Birthday to Pirate Clock. :D
Grade: A+ (Cause it's his birthday!)

[The Death of Dailytoons]

Had to give straight 10's

I'm going to miss you guys. All your parody flashes, all of the reviews you get, it was an overall enjoyeble experience.

The graphics were great. Don't know when you started this, but if it was since you posted the thread in NG, you did this really fast. I still love the cutesy little graphics for your characters.

The sound was odd. It was very quiet on my computer, so I was afraid you would have Piclownjew pop out and yell "BYAAAAAAAHHHHHH!," but I'm glad you didn't. Plus, the song was a very good choice and I love it.

Very serious flash to me, no interactivity, violence, or humor. Still, this deserves 10's because I will miss you guys and it may be the last time you all work together.

Overall, goodbye. I'll miss you guys. :(
Responces highly appreciated.

[TANKMEN 1.5]

Right out of the blue

Right after Clock Day and decide to go to sleep, you submit this. I wanted to review it while it was under judgment and get better chances at a response, but oh well.

The graphics were great. Just like last times. Only problem though was that there was only the characters and the background. It would be nice if you could draw other stuff as well besides tankmen, tank, and background. It's pretty good as is, but it would be nicer. It doesn't need to focus more on graphics though, because it seems these flashes rely more on humor.

The voice acting was good. One problem I had it with it though is that almost all the evil tankmen sound alike. When I first heard the dad calling, I just thought, "Oh it must be a prank call." But, I like the original voice actors, it just would be nice if it's possible to make them sound different from each other.

The humor was alright in this one. Nothing too new. It was good for a chuckle and a smile, but that's it. Nothing too new except for penis and birds & the bees jokes.

Overall, great flash, and I know it was only a few minutes long, but there is just a little room for improvement.

[SBC's Great Adventure]

Well, that caught me off.

That was a really shocking ending. And as for the preloader, I heard you weren't allowed to use it until CLock Day. But seeing that you won't be there, I guess it's okay.

I liked the graphics. Very clear and good to look at, and I liked all of your character models. It would be nice if it was longer, but with an ending like that, I'm so sure (just joking Wonchop).

Good voice acting. I was glad you didn't use Speakonia, and it was a good change of pave. Not much sound synching, because there were no mouths to synch it with.

Not much violence or interactivity, but some good humor. Good for a chuckle, and that's it. Not much replay value, maybe watch it once or twice.

Overall, good quick little flash, but shame it's not on CLock Day. Responses appreciated.
Grade: B

Wonchop responds:

Well after a few warnings from people who don't incur wrath I changed the swf. It's the old NG preloader now.

["crows in the cornfield"]

Good for a 24 hour flash

It's nice to see some stuff apart from Ingus from both of you, but this flash was a little above mediocre.

The graphics were very detailed in some parts, and comical in others. I liked the people's faces, and the character design of the crows. It's just that there was not much else though. Maybe try animating the farmers bodies more, instead of just showing the top half.

The sound was good. Good voice acting, synched very well, and was very clear. Not much humorous dialogue or funny voices. It seemed a little more serious than funny.

The humor was a little poor on this one. Good job using the crows in odd situations, but not much laughing material. It would be nice if you focused more on the crows or more on the farmers. For the crows, maybe have them go to a bar after hours called "The Crowbar." OR for the farmers, just focus on how badthey are at farming like seeing a cow floating in the lake or something.

So overall, good for 24 hours and good graphics, but lacking in humor.
Grade: B

[The STANDUP Comedy Collab]

Good idea you had

I do stand up myself, and was looking forward to something. It was a good flash, it's just sad that I've heard most of those before.

The graphics were alright. Not much movement, and not much lip synching. Most of the things drawn are mediocre at best. Try doing more movement, with the comic pacing back and forth. Also, have them drink a glass of water or something.

The voice quality was horrible. To do stand up, you need a good clear voice and need to execute the jokes at proper times. It seemed like you were forcing your voices to match the characters, especially for the host. Also, the jokes were poorly executed. The comic's just said them super fast and quick. You need to take your time.

The jokes were bad. "What does a fish smoke? Sea weed!" Sounds like something I would read on the back of popsicle sticks. Most jokes you have are overused like President Bush jokes and redneck jokes. Also, don't say FUCK YOU! for laughs. Using curse words just to get cheap laughs are horrible in my opinon. Try to think of original jokes that make you laugh and the audience as well.

Overall, alright graphics, but it really lacked in the department it was focusing on. Try going to a good comedy club and learn more. Responses appreciated.
Grade: C-

Snubby responds:

You sure do have a low opinion about this. When you say not much movement that makes me laugh because we each had ~2 minutes on stage, I had more than that. That's a lot of lip sync. and a lot of movement, considering we walked on and off stage.

The voice quality was not horrible, maybe sub-par but not horrible. But I see what you are saying.

The jokes may have been bad, but in a lot of cases that was on purpose. WAAANIMATION used bad jokes in a funny way, you are just picking out all the bad things. The swearing was unneeded, I agree.

A C- for graphics is an insult to me. You sure are acting like a hot shot for somebody whos work wasn't even good enough to get on Newgrounds, or for somebody who has never even tried Flash.

You are entitled to your opinion, but a 5 is just a slap in the face to me. This took a LOT of work. Find me one other entry where people talked non stop for 10 minutes. That a lot of work.

In conclusion, you are an ass. :)
