MetalDart's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Witch Doctor!]

Very Addictive

The song is still repeating in my head and I love it. I love the graphics and the song is catchy as hell. The seizure enduced graphics made the flash really jump out at me and your unique humor kept me watching it over and over again. THe only problem was, at the end there was no replay button, so I had to keep right clicking and pressing play. Those graphics rival against some of the cartoons I see on television. The stlye was awesome and all of the graphics kicked many levels of ass. SOme graphics were anime, others 3d, others cartoonish, together, they made made one lovable flash. Not much interactivity or violence, but this flash is an instant classic. I am putting this into my favorites immediately! Some improvements, needs to be longer and have a replay button. Responses highly appreciated!

[Bunnycat 2]

Nice little Short

Seems like something that I would see on Nickolodeon, except without the cursing and the ninja calling a bunnycat "beeyatch." The bunnycat sounds like an interesting idea, but I would like to know more background behind it. Also, if possible, a nice intro. would be nice instead of that weird bunnycat song. The graphics were very good, and would challenge some of the stuff I see on tv. Also, the ninja reminded me a lot of the ninja from the video game "I-Ninja." Just wondering if there was a resemblance.The style was nice, but the flash was too short. Not much violence, and this flash was good for a quick chuckle. Overall, good flash, but needs more content.

You can always watch the first episode for a lil backstory/violence, though that's even shorter. XD
I have to say, I'm a shorts making guy.

[Yoshi's Jam Session]

Funny Music Video

This flash brings back memories from when I first played Yoshi's island for the SNES. It was pretty cool with the switches from the sprite images to the actual drawings. It was pretty cool, and it had a nice 3D appeal to it. Sometimes it looked like the graphics were actually popping out of the screen! I really enjoyed the drawn out graphics rather than the sprites, because it felt more like a cartoon. The sound synching was great, and the music was perfectly selected. It was too short, and I felt like you ended some of the songs quickly. Not too much violence, or interactivity, but I still chuckled a bit when I watched this flash. Overall, great music video, but it would be nice if you made a flash with just hand drawn graphics. Responses highly appreciated.

Thanks for the excellent comment! I love Yoshi's Island too, and I couldn't resist making a music video. I understand about the sprite section. It's what I get for being a bit too lazy \:]

[FBF - The shakes]

Great tutorial

To professionals, it may be common knowledge, but to amateurs, this is an amazing flash. I have tried flash before and know the troubling matters with it, but this flash really helps. If you forget everything you know about flash and watch this, it is an incredible walkhrough. The graphics show rights and wrongs in a flash, and really help get the ideas out there. The style is great, and how you use well drawn out figures and show how the different mechanics can influence the feel of the flash. The background music was very nice to have and did not get repetitive. No violence, not much humor, and the interactivity was mostly page flipping. Overall, a great walkthrough for animators of all ages, and I'm putting this in my favorites to look at when I get flash. Responses highly appreciated.

Astropuff responds:

Thanks for the long lengthy detailed review.

One of the reasons I tried to make the tutorial more enjoyable is because I'm the one that has to look at it 50 times over while working on it, so I might as well make sure I can stomach it myself. The problems with a lot of tutorials I see is that they contain a few graphics, then about a paragraph of text. I have the attention span of a 5 year old, so I need to have visual stimulation or else I will just wander off.

[Grandbunny Paradox]

Interesting Style

It was very intriguing to see the same guy who made the Bad Guys series make what looks like a Stopmotion film. It was very cool to see it in a black and white, but with the red tomato guy was still cool. There wasn't that many impressive graphics because you just took pictures, and the characters didn't look like they were moving at all. Just randomly skipping one frame to the next. The storyline was very interesting because many people have been wondering that theory, and you executed it in a humorous fashion. You had violence, but you would only show the aftermath of what happened. For example, when a character fires the gun, you hear a click and see a bullet mark through the grandma's head. I still love this one of a kind humor, and hope any of your series never gets old. So overall, great flash, but there was room for improvement.

ChrisNosal responds:

I agree, it's a pretty cool style. I like what Bob did with it. And hey, it takes skill to take a good picture. Bob's got a director's eye. Anybody can point and click, but Bob knows how to frame a shot.

And personally, I think it's more interesting to only see the grandbunny after he gets shot. It lets your imagination fill in the gap. Plus, the woodland creatures have trouble filming motion, they mostly just have still cameras. Video cameras are hard to come by in the mountains.

[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
