madpol1's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arizona Extreme 004]

Well. the music was good.

And the story was ok. Let that be a lesson to you. Never trust those anorexic chix. Bitch looked like a stick figure.

But you really gotta work on those graphics and at least animate something.

good enough for a 2\5 anyway.

Starberry responds:

these movies aren't supposed to be animation intense

[[as] WTF?]

Mildly funny

I think the transfer is the other way around. From some of the shorts they run late at night, I'd swear they bought the salvage rights to the graveyard at NG.

It would be funnier though, and get more views, if you did a compilation of bumps. Maybe even set it up as an internal monologue.

[Miss Dynamite XIX]

Well, I liked it.

I've only been following the series for a week, but I'm already hooked and can't wait for episode XXI.

Great parody of dating sims.

But you know. A Miss Dynamite dating sim would be an instant classic. Getting to those ladies, and maybe a few guest stars would be a challenge for any gamer. Girls and boys would play fanatically if the payoff was a hot sex scene with Blackie or Eva, (Before she kills you in some humiliating and messy way, of course.)

Maybe you should get together with Klacid and the Hurell brothers.

[Samurai Sword 5]

Superb

Even though this is #5, you didn't fall into the trap of thinking that the viewers knew your characters. You took the time to develop both characters and plot.

The training montage was awesomely funny. And you left us without telling why our Hero is our hero. So, naturally every is going to have to see the next one to find out what the kid IS good for.

Oh, the flash was ok too.

Dark-ChiCKeN responds:

Thanks, im happy you got it! Its realy hard to make a serie and keep public =/

Thanks for the review! Very M U C H

["Silence"]

Hitchcockian

Nice use of the first person pov, except that the arrangement of limbs when he looks down at his lap is weird. It took a while to figure out that's what it was. Some fingers on the hands might have helped.

Some good animation on the titles, perfect use of music and good sound quality.

Damn good piece of storytelling. Leaves me wanting more.

[Duck Launch]

I guess the duck...

...forgot to duck.

Good animation. Making it interactive made it a lot funnier. You should find out what it takes to create flash greeting cards and submit them to the hallmark and similar outfits.

Studying some of the cards at Hallmark and other e-card sites should proide some ideas as well.

[Baka-san: Short 3]

Very Taoist

And very funny. Your choice of character name "Baka" (The Fool) is perfect.

Nice animation and good use of sound. I'll have to look up the rest of the series.

[Miss Dynamite XX]

You've done this before.

I'd know that even if I hadn't seen some of your other stuff. Everything work, from the scat singing in the preloader to the Hitler youth Pope as a Sith master to Blackie's boobs bouncing because she's lost her bra.

Noobs would do well to study your technique. The manga style looked pretty authentic.

Keep 'em coming.

[Effort]

You're only 16?

Some people live heir whole lives and don't learn as much truth as you packed into that video.

The minimalist style and quiet music worked perfectly. You put the story first and used animation to build its power while taking nothing away.

The truth is, Artists don't do their work for money, or acclaim, or even to get laid, (although some musicians would argue that point.)
That stuff is gravy. Artists do it because they have to. The songs have to be sung, the stories need to be told, the images need to be captured.

You understand that. And, your parents seem to support you in it.

This is pretty good, but one day, what you create will be awesome.

Some musician once said, "the guitar plays me. The instrument I play is the audience." That's the next step for you. You've learned how to give form and power to your worlds, now learn how to tell your stories in the language that those who read and view them best understand.

It's a long journey, but I think that instinct is already there in you.

5\5

[Snakes on a Plane-TRAILER]

Finally, someone who understands.

When you've got a good joke. Keep running with it. That's what you did and you did it well.

You took some time to set things up and then built the pace to where even if something was lame, it was funny because I was still laughing from the last joke.

That's how everyone from the Marx bros to the Zucker Bros have done it. You will do well.

Of course, if the Theatrrical Release sucks, I'm coming after you for my 8 bux.
