smokinjoeevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sprite science!]

What a mess.

While some of it did contain some inflection, the majority of the voice-overs were someone reading slowly and in monotone from some god-awful script (that rarely seemed to fit very well with the animations being played out. But forget the voice-acting quality... how about the sound quality? Absolutely crap. Couldn't understand half the words you were saying, which only helped to make the animation part seem like it in no way fit with anything being explained. Plus, the whole Hulk and coma patient thing was completely idiotic. In no way does drawing on that as a simile for the reactions make any sense whatsoever. Your teacher will not be pleased.

Raptros responds:

iam sorry u didnt enjoy it. Once again I did say I didnt make the script I was only told what to do becuz I just wanted to finis the project. I promise u ill give u something more better in the future

[A Blank Video That Passed]

If this thing calls up external resources...

... then it is busted. Nothing showed up. At all. It was a blank, white Flash stage. no video. No audio. And at onlyt 32.3 Kb that is totally understandable. But if you were legitimately trying to post something with content, then I'm guessing your content is hosted elsewhere, and you have some settings on your host server or something that are preventing the Flash loaded here on Newgrounds from accessing the files it needs. As it stands... this Flash has no content.

[The Tman Compilation]

Great stuff

I have to say, your animations are fantastic. I especially like a lot of the effects touches you put in... like the smoke, explosions, and animation you use to convey power... like the shaking of the content of the animation with each hit that makes contact. Makes it look really dramatic and intense. It's all good stuff.

Can't believe this was done in only 0.3 KB. Amazing.

[Shattered Worlds Intro]

Horrible.

First off, the texture you place on the sphere representing the Earth displays both American Continents TWICE in one revolution. Obviously you went about the quick way of making a seamless texture for this. It made me first think that you had the planet spinning the wrong way... but in fact, the sun would set in the East for one set of the continents and set in the west for the other set. The stars also jumped around every once in a while, and the animation of the moon was so choppy that it would appear large in the line of vision every so often for 1 frame and then go about its merry way getting small and distant again. Anyway... the last thing i wanted to mention is how hilarious it is that you tried to name this something cool, like "Shattered Worlds", which is actually almost cliche, and even then is still 100 X better than the Flash for which it is the title.

[Brian goes Goku]

Not very powerful...

... there were no bits of ceiling plaster and objects falling through from the upper floor. According to the reactions of your surroundings in the video, you may as well have been shining a flash-light onto the ceiling.

Otherwise, the effects were nicely done. Although it should have started out in a scene a bit less dubious than beside someone's bed in a bedroom...

[The Teanami (Trailer)]

Not very watchable...

It seemed too fast or something, making it mostly incoherent. It jumped from person to person (although with the bad graphics I couldn't really tell if it WAS different people, or just poorly re-drawn versions of the same people), and from scene to scene. There was little to no animation, which didn't help the scene transitions any. The voice-acting sounded like it was done by pre-adolescents. And you are just begging for reviews of "bad graphics" with your description. You had to have known that... didn't you?

If this is something you may or may not make... I'd suggest you lean toward the "may not".

JTricks responds:

Mmm, about the voice acting, you would wonder why it sounded like it was done by "pre-adolecents", mabye BECAUSE IT WAS, and what is wrong with that anyway, I can't help being 13, can I?

[Grumble&Grump]

Not entirely good.

But it wasn't entirely bad either. You just need to work on scene transitions. It seemed really choppy, and to jump around a lot. The crash seemed realy slow... but I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be conveyed as slow motion or not. Some things just hapened with no prep or explanation to the viewer, like the antenna glowing and suddenly spewing forth a death-ray. And what was with them calling each other "alien". Human beings don't go around calling each other aliens ('cept aliens in the border-jumping sense)... and neither would any other race of beings who were from the same planet.

[Teh Tadpole]

Not good...

Audio was way too loud... especially since it was comprised of nothing but the annoying sounds of someone just blabbing away with their mouth. The lip-synching for the sounds was really "off" feeling. You could tell there wasn't much work put into them. The intermission thing was not as funny as you obviously thought it was, I assure you. And the icing on the cake was when, at the end, you used the term "most simplest", which breaks rules of the English language I remember learning in elementary school. It makes you as bad as that group "Syndrome of a Downs" with the song in which they intone as the chorus: "the most lonliest day of my life". Nothing personal ('cause I don't know you from Adam), but this was just bad.
