SurvivalisFutile's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Jerks : Episode 2]

You can tell when someone works hard on a movie...

When someone really takes threre time on a movie, little things shine through, Graphics wise, this was fairly poor, but you did obviously try for a good style, and it looked pretty nice all together for my personal tastes. The sound was really great, great effects, great music, great voice acting... I also especially like the option to skip the intro, which not alot of movies have, like I said little things shine through. It's setting up to be a really nice little series, and I hope to see more of them granted you continue taking that little bit extra effort into it. My only recommendations are to lessen the ammount of circles, create eyes that are not perfect circles, it can help add more expression. Also, for the quality of the voice acting, The lips just didn't do justice... Good luck making the next one, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Tasteless

... perhaps tasteless... but non the less interesting... this movie is important... its a prime Grade-A example of people abusing this great FREE system of newgrounds... either that or people really really hate george bush... but somehow i think voting this movie to a 2.41 on a website is just not the way to go about expressing anger, flustration, ect. However... just about any movie can be improved... only thing i could really mention would maybe be a better picture of george bush... and try a "lip-Lock" between whatever character and bush. Oh and was the blue man one of those 3 blue guys from the mobile centrino commericals? eh whatever... background music could have been better too... remember that eifel 65 song "Im blue" from now 4.... now that would have gone perfect...

You hit the spot. Yes, the blue guy was from the Blue Man Group. I was going to use the Eiffle 65 Blue song, that was the original flash, but the filesize was too big, so I had to change the song to this. Plus, it does sound better with this song.

[[ The End ]]

like a bad poem...

it wasn't the animation that was lacking, although it seemed as the movie progressed you got lazy with it.... it was just like you were writing visual poetry with no meaning.... to me this felt almost forced and starved of any

A) originality
B) depth

... but no matter that... it was still pretty good over all, animation wise (particularly when he riped his face off)... but anyways.. some definite ways to improve is "make sense"... i mean just random sadness and the end of the world is all well and good... but you should add some thought in there... it seems like it would be the end of "HIS" world.... so the ending "where will you be...." is kinda.... well outta place.... that made it just down right hokie... eh... not bad... keep it up... the good animation that is...

Hmmm

saddening, ya know i think the movie it self is fine... im not a huge sprite fan but i never take off points for it... heres what i do take off points for, the screen is tiny, and the text is hard to read... you should have put that below the actual movie. I know this was made using either swishmax or swish 2... the text effects are cool and everything but porrly used... use of sprites overall was fine... however i dont think brien ayers would be too happy if he found out you used his preloader without even including his website or even his NAME in the special thanks portion of your movie... its laughable in all blunt and sheer honesty that you call Matrix_dx's movie a peice of crap when you couldn't even make your own preloader, ya know im guilty of using brien's preloader too but atleast i acknowledge him in the credits... psh man... i dont know whats wrong with you, calling someone else a "bitch" when it tis you exibiting bitch-like behavior.... decent movie, a little bit long in my opinion, stroy was OK... but for the most part this just was an upset for daily feature... i respect the 3.66 score it has right now, and i respect the work that went into this movie, but i cant respect plagiarism in anyway shape or form...

I really like that song...

i may be a soft core loser... but i like that song... not bad although i like the circles and squares alone without the breathing guy... some of the F-B-F in there wasn't half bad either... keep up the good work... Also there were some points in the movie when the circle didnt turn the entire screen black, i think it was the bottom lefthand corner... but other than that my eyes couldn't see too many faults... nice going..

i just liked it...

i was just funny man... like some of the other reviews said though... the pictures inbetween were annoying... but hey what cha gonna do... not bad, more a video imported into flash than a flash but it was refreshing too see something diffrent than the first stick attempts in the portal... good stuff mate...

[Triple Helix Teaser]

Bravo!

very nice use of anime style... unfortunitly it seems like there are tons of teasers on newgrounds just non of the finsihed product.. i understand the time it takes in these things, i saw the 14th ill be here on the 14th waiting for this one mate.. ( not too be a hypocrite ive fallen victim to this too) now back too the review... not too much too really improve upon on that one mate... only thing i saw that bugged me visually was that the main character was a tad underdevoloped... and when he steded in the puddle there was one frame (notice how im having too stretch too find anything) great movie... trully wonderous... cant wait for episode one...

[Spider Geek]

i dont see much more potential for the idea....

hmm... it wasn't bad... i think ou should have set up the sound as a soundtrack though... i dont use flash, i use swishmax, so i dont know too much how the interface works... however im sure there are efficent ways too sinkup sounds with the movie. The idea wasn't too hot, maybe if you hit this out when spiderman 2 came out it would have gone over better, not too mention it loops the scene, its kinda glitchy... and feels unfinished... like you got all the animation done then you didn't put the work into a quick credits page or menu select... however theres always room for improvment... maybe a faster teampoed song, the lyrics weren't the problem really, it was more the looping continious bum bum bum sound that got on my nerves... Still i think it was a decent movie that deserves getting into the portal... your skills will get better, hopefully, like i said in the title, not much potential in the idea, but theres potential in the artist... nice job keep it up...

Great Work my freind

a tad sketchy... but so happy.. i couldn't help but find myself smiling in the end... totally originial totally great.... i feel happier just watching it... work on the sketchyness of it just alittle bit.. but besides that i like the shakyness of it... so happy... maybe you could have some more background stuff and things he interacts with... the tree and leaves was great... but how about walking down the street? well good stuff man... good stuff...

alexPfresh responds:

wow thank you so much. thank you all for the great reviews!

*applaudes*

very very nice entry... I liked it supremely... you my friend have talent.. lots of it too... the fram by frame animation in this was unbelievable... totally blew my mind... the chicken thing wasn't too original... but i still liked it.. the only thin i could see too improve apon on this peice is possible a long story line.. and another chicken... maybe another red chicken who is throwing the eggs or whatever they were... grenades? but other then that GRADE A stuff here... i saw its got about a low 2 right now... believe me man.. if i had my way id be giving it maybe anywhere from a high 2.5-3.0 i mean its good.. but length.. length is the key my friend... i hope too see more from you...
