Esach's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SuperPope Episode 1]

From 2 prospectives

From a Flash Artsits prospective, it was really nice, the art was very good, but some of the animation was really choppy in areas that could ahve easily been fixed, such as the walking and the head movments, those could have been EASILY made alot more smooth i think... but overall, way better than i can do, and it probably took you awhile.

From a VIEWERS prospective, It frikkin bored the crap out of me, only really liked when the demon appeared, the blood part which wasn't so great, and the part where he put a cross on his chest i found that funny... but otherwise, Defenantly didn't deserve the score it got... You musta been goin up some crappy Fight movies for first place with that, becuase i've seen alot more VIOLENT fighting movies that come out alot better so you musta gotten lucky unless you were up against a few or alot of sucky people, NO OFFENSE AT ALL AND IM SERIOUS but that's what it really seemed like

So while your working on super pope II, keep in mind to make SMOOTHER ANIMATION choppyness gets you killed, kinda like in my flashes i'm still working on that myself but those walking animations were choppier than mine... so were the headmovents.

but still, it was a good idea and great art, even more corney than DBZ though,.. and in a non-entertaing way, sorry... : \

CaptainSid responds:

Really? "Choppyness gets you killed?" Well, if this animation is as choppy as you say, then I have to say that "choppiness gets your Flash featured on the front page in less than 5 hours," because that's exactly what happened here. ;)

twas da shiznit!!!

haha, even though the animations weren't all that hott and the talking was kinda fast, the JOKES WERE HILARIOUS! they shoulds put this on front page but underdog is almost as good, deserves underdog, "will you suck my dick" haha,... i loved the looks on their faces!!!

keep it up just maybe do better lip syncing and a little better graphics and it should be better, unless that was the mood of the flash but still do lypsyncing... "you dont look good" "I got my bich pregnant" "darth sidius could make birth control pills" omg i loved that

xtil responds:

hah ya the graphics suck cuz well i didn't really want to spend a whole lot of time on this, i just thought hey let's make fun of star wars then 3 hours later this came out, yknow?

To Fagget Cheese Man

FreakyCheeseMan, dude, before you start critisizing sombody elses work, GET FLASH AND PROVE THAT YOU CAN DO BETTER. nobody can say 'this flash sucks' unless they can do better. I've gotten a better rating than this in ONE of my flashes, so i have earned the right to give poitners, dont be flayling around your "omg it sucked" until you've done better you frikkin panzy...

anyways, the graphics were ok, coulda been better with some more work, the plot really bothered me, not that it was gross i just didn't like it. But worthy of the rating it got.

inevitability responds:

Well man, thanks for the constructive criticism. :)

[Behind the Magic]

yes jesus... Yes

You just took the words out of my mouth... The letter B overuse and stuff, haha taht was great, i dont like clocks but anything that can use them and point out all their flaws while entertaining me is aight...

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Well, i wanted to make everyone happy. Clocks (by using clock characters well), anti-clocks (by repeating what they already hopefully know about the ClockCrew) and general viewers (in betweens that'll find a good old well animated rant funny as hell). I wanted a broad target audience and i somehow managed to hit the spot!

Thanks for the support, people!

[Fun in the Snow!]

ROFL

at first i was just sitting there... omg this is gona get blammed, but then i thought, hmm nice start up. Then the music was kind of annoying becuase i thought that you were going to totally make it crappy. it was kind of slow but when he started running... BOOM! tripped, i laughed my ass off! i rarely get that kind of laugh, very nice, i voted 5 becuase of the perfect timing of that fall. i was laughing like, omg is he gona get up!? very nice. Now on how to improve.

Smoother Animation: When he turned you could have added 1-3 more parts so it looked like he actually turned around. The running was pretty good, the character design could have EASILY been better, so next time work for about a day looking for designs and thinking about it. Decide what would be best that you could still animate well.

Music was kind of quiet, i could hear it but it sounded like a bad microphone recording. could have been a bit longer also, maybe added 2 more ways that would make us laugh.

JoelSem responds:

Thanks for the tips!
Lol, I made it look all shitty at the beggening, it makes the end that much better.
The graphics.. Well, I worked on this for two hours. It was kinda a rush project, I just wanted it done.
I've had a total of maybe.. 22 hours of flash experiance, so I still need to expand my abilities on flash too.

About the turning thing, that was an experiment, and I'm happy that you commented on it.

I had to reduce the sound file quality, it went from 256kbps down to 32kbps, so alot of data was lost. It reduced the file size from 2,000 kb down to 200.

Thanks for the review, and your welcome for the laugh.

[Lightning FBF]

Haha... i voted to save.

Very nice, very nice. I say maybe add sound effects even when it doesnt seem like you need any, i've learned good sound effects timed right REALLY help your flash, try to add a little more of the impressive FBFs like with master chief and the other shooting scene, have a little longer with those too, tends to impress people alot more, maybe even make a frame by frame backround, such as a park, then make a 50 frame movie clip that makes it look like your drawing it over and over again without having to do the work. Then do more of those moving high detail bodys, and repeat that with different backrounds and such. The start of the flash wasn't as good as the end so i think you might have been learning techniques as you go, that's good but if you do go back to the other parts of the flash and re-apply your skills there.

Overall is was a very good flash, a decent FBF animation, all my animations are FBF but they're not about randomness, (tweens piss me off personally) if your going to make another with this style maybe use some of my suggestions, make it look even better, add sound effects (like explosions and droplets with the oil) and you'll defenantly get a good rating (maybe even front page!)

Death-Con responds:

Thanks, youre review has been very helpful :)

[C&K Excellent Adventure]

LTE FUCK YES!!!

DREAM THEATER OWNAGE! John Petrucci is so bad ass... dude paradigm shift is awesome, i'm learning that an Acid Rain on my guitar, you like LTE you like Dream Theater right? if you dont know who they are your a fag becuase its basicaly the same band.

good song for the flash but defenantly not the best LTE song.

Quimera responds:
