Cypher's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Element part 2]

Excellent..

This was an excellent mix, of action, fighting that actually had a storyline..mixed in with great visuals and a sense of realism etched into each scene.

A few things to point out, when they are fighting atop the cars, every so often one tree comes past..hinting that they are moving..but apart from that. When they are fighting on the cars it doesn't really seem they are moving. If you made some road or sky or alongside the road effects to show more movement, it would look better.

Also the fight scene, that was excellent..never since Xiao Xiao have I seen such excellent fighting work. However, the noticeable difference between this and Xiao Xiao is, that he only fights one stick at a time.

I am not taking away from the excellence of the fighting, but the fact that he is fighting one stick, whilst 2 sticks in the back aren't "noticing" is odd.

Maybe, to make it even cooler than it already is. You should implement multi-fighting. I know it would be harder, but I feel it would give your movie a more polished feel.

Also to some of the negative reviews coming through..some people are saying that Vietboi has stolen their work...well you people can go and play Russian Roulette with each other..with a fully loaded gun.

Anyhow. GREAT, EXCELLENT and a MOST WONDERFUL work of flash Vietboi, I'm sure you will go far.

I want to see how the plot develops..and you are right this was better than Element 1, and the file size is even less..

So keep 'em coming Vietboi.

Thanks.

[Evolution of Man]

Decent, I'll give you that.

Not bad. Decent animation and idea.

I like it..make it a bit shorter..or run it at higher FPS, and then it'll be good for every movie you make.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

[Brush Shorts]

Very well done.

Well put together, I can't exactly say it was an original concept..because well it wasn't.

Sticks are heavily used, but most are put together shoddily. This however was not shoddy. This was an excellent stick animation. I liked how you used worms sounds and voices. It added extra humour to it.

Mainly I would like to say, that the areas you could improve..would be changing some of the scences. The ones where sticks are seemingly thrown off an edge of a cliff and onto spikes for no reason..you used that a little too much. Perhaps having a little more variety wouldn't do you wrong.

Although I must say this was still excellent, I hope to see more from you.

Keep 'em coming KoRRupt.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

KoRRupt responds:

I agree man, I shall try to keep em coming :)

[The Closcars]

Not bad.

Although I have seen a little bit too much SBC stuff today.

Nice graphics and sound, and a good idea..

I liked the (goat?) sound effect at the end. It made it a lot better, and made the "punchline" funnier.

eric_swanson who reviewed this movie..the Clock Crew is a website and club that is dedicated to flash making..what do you mean insider jokes? If you'd watched half or one quarter of all the clock stuff on this site..you'd know what they were.

Plus. You said that they should all go into the recycle bin..doesn't that mean they will just come back out fresh and better? I think so..

Eric, think ahead before you post your stupid shit here. Thanks. And yeah..blam you sir.

And BAFA, keep up the good work, I expect great things of you.

Keep 'em coming.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

BAFA responds:

Actually, it's a sheep ^_^ I was trying to find a cricket sound, but stumbled upon this instead, and thought it would be a nice chance.

I am very happy that you liked my graphics. I watched Munguai's (or however its spelled) tutorial in making brush-like paintings, and just did what i had learned.

Thanks for the great feedback - ill keep them coming! ^_^

Protect you, sir o_0

[Ork vs Samurai]

Animation!

Your animation owned..I have seen some great animating here on Newgrounds and this is some of the best. Although it was very short..it still owned.

The attention to detail (in that small space of time) was great, the gun animation was great..it was all great.

The music was good too, it all went together quite well. I hope you make a full length movie with something of this nature.

Keep 'em coming Matias.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

teek-83 responds:

yey! another aussie! well thanks for the interest, it always gives me a big head! hehe one day I'll actually make a movie that has length and a plot.... but don't hold your collective breaths!!

Cheers

[That Damn Package]

Not bad.

A few things here and there need touching up..but otherwise pretty good.

Changing from sticks to actual characters might be a better idea next time..not only were they sticks..they were all blue..I liked the car animation and the helicopter animation though.

I also liked the car skidding effect.

Keep 'em coming kenny.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

[arfenhouse teh movie too]

Random. Retarded. Funny.

Haha, how did you ever come up with all those ideas? Thats a crazy amount of stuff you have in there..You obviously have a lot of animating talent..as shown at the end of the movie.

Those characters at the end own..also the rest of the movie is really, really good.

It's so funny, it's so random..it doesn't really make any sense..and thats why it is so great.

This is a tribute to all of those movies on NG that got blammed...but longer.

:P

Keep 'em coming DL-Misterro and DL-Neutrino.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

[Fatty Big Eye Outtakes]

Whoa..once again..

..you have surpassed yourself..Your movies are a showcase of what flash animation is truly about..

You have really mastered the art of sound, graphics, lighting and physics of a movie.

You got the reverb on the directors voice perfect..it was as he was actually right in the background.

Your humor is also great. This made me laugh. Each section was funnier than the next. I love also the way you have made the interaction between Fatty and the director. It's like real life in the way the people interact. The timing of words was great. The animation was of course excellent..

You keep 'em coming goonland.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

[HOTM Ch. 1 Preview]

Good.

I liked the graphics..the idea and the style.

It was a good movie preview. I hope the real thing has an actual plot...characters you actually get to understand..and why the Clock Crew is in peril..

But, I liked the music..that was on the Batman:Forever sound track? It was pretty good..

Although, something more constructive than motion tweened blue font for about 12 seconds may not hold people's attention.

Excellent work however, I hope you finish the full thing.

Aeriri was right, the overuse of normal text was a bit overused. But he/she also said it sucked. That is where he/she is wrong..so don't listen to people who say that..keep up your good work..

Keep 'em coming Psycho and xdye.

Thanks.

-Refkinson.

Rogan-YLS responds:

There's no right or wrong in certain aspects my good person. In this case, Aeriri just had an opinion. But thanks for the review. We'll try our best. Oh and Xdye says <3 and some random spam too.

[Mask of Power Pt 1]

Pretty good.

Nice enough graphics for your first attempt. But I must say. You need more of a storyline to set up your first episode of a series..(that is to come I assume?).

It's a good idea. But you need to introduce why the 'Mask of Power' is so good..and why the evil boss wants it.

I like how you had birds flying, and also a mouse stealing cheese and moving around, whilst the other action is going on.

Make your text better. Make everything more "stylish" i.e. Make your text in boxes..with say and arrow for users to click on to go to the next frame of text. Make your text a custom font..or better color. Set things out differently.

Also try and polish up your overall look..

Otherwise, a great attempt..trust me..mucking around making movies in Flash really helps you learn.

I've learned a whole lot more..from when I made my first and only movie on NG.

I like your work. So keep 'em coming demodrgz.

If anyone doesn't like this movie, that's fine..if anyone criticizes this movie without any real thought or constructive ideas. May you forever have your hands slapped repeatedly with a large plank of wood.

Thanks.

wow... thanks
