UberBarista's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lilium]

....O_o

Wow... that was truly weird, and slightly disturbing. The whole presentation was extremely well done, and the effect that the slides and text has, is truly masterful. The story that follows, is one of the most truly disturbing things I have seen on this site, that will pass judgment.

A sibling killing for evil, to gain friendship, is indeed, fitting for this morbid looking child.

Graphics: Simple, yet amazing in detail, though roughly drawn.

Style: Very gothic, with a nice twist on a silent movie idea, beautifully organized into a chilling story.

Sound: Without the movie playing, the score used is chilling, with the movie... Electrifyingly morbid, and emotional.

Violence: Well, killing ones mother, and aborting her unborn brother, to give the fetus to an evil shadow (el diablo, perhaps?) Would have to qualify as extremely violent, though subtle, albeit.

Interactivity: Custom preloader, custom button, and it successfully looped back to play when finished, is good enough for me.

Humor: N/A

Overall: I loved this submission, and will be watching for more of your work to come.

[Jet Plane]

That was great!

I'm a huge Sinatra fan, so I defiantly had hopes this wasn't some kind of joke, or stick figures. Or a lame ass attempt by the SS to get another crap movie passed. Anyway, back to the movie. I loved the animation, but it lacked in more than a few areas, which I'll cover below.

Graphics: For the most part, the graphics were great, and could have used a little more work in some parts of the videolike the jet sequence or the 'face' of Ole' blue eyes himself. Which looked nothing like him.

Style: I loved your version and take on 60's art appeal, it fit very nicely for the movie/video.

Sound: Eh, what can I say? Loved it.

Violence: N/A

Interactivity: Only the basic NG Preloader, was on this, which was rather dull to see, on top of that, it's the only interactive thing in the whole movie. So no praise can be found here, and this also, will be bringing the score for the review I gave down as well.

Humor: N/A - but, it would have been nice to see some.

Overall: A decent submission, with a great composition.

AlmightyHans responds:

ok, im not attacking you or angry, but, i DIDNT want the guy to look like frank sinatra if thats what you are saying about the blue eyes, i just made, some guy...second of all, i dont hink you should really judge me about the stupid preloader that i downloaded off newgrounds...I mean. if i could do amazing button graphics and crap, i woyuld put them. you should Judge me more for what i HAVE there, not for what SHOULD have been there (at least not much) because i dont have MIND controll powers to read the minds of people and do everything they want. And no, even if you insist i dont agree with the instrting humor part...i think it would have ruined it. And thank you so much for the good comments, yes i do like the 60's style i chose, so much that i have it in the next animation that im working on now! :D

(note: all Capital letters dont show anger, but act as an underline)

[Valhalla Knights]

Awesome job!

That has been the most graphically stunning Flash movie I have seen in a very long time. Everything about it was beautiful! The detail was so crisp and clear, and even small things like the reflection of the buildings on the cars windshield were not left out. This is guaranteed to make number one on the "Top Fifty" on NG without a doubt in my mind!

Graphics: Beautiful! The characters are well drawn, and proportioned.

Style: I'm not a huge fan of Anime or anything really, but this does the genre justice! Could easily be a TV show.

Sound: the voice acting and music, were perfect and appropriate to their respective places, and also on cue the scenes.

Violence: The opening fight was stunning and well choreographed and the angles helped with the overall scene.

Interactivity: Well, first off, the preloader sucked, but was decent for it's job, A movie this big, should have had a stream option for people on DSL or higher, like me.

Humor: At first it seemed to me this was just another animation that took itself too seriously. That is until Peterson debuted. I got a good laugh at that, from there on, the movie had a more lighthearted feel to it.

Overall: Grade A animation, solid story-line, beautiful presentation. I will be looking forward to more of your work.

[Pokemon Short]

Not bad...

But I'm not a Pokemon fan anyway.

Nice job on the sprite edits, and the dialog boxes, this was pretty good, considering how old you were when you first made it.

BTW, sound needs improvement, I couldn't hardly hear anything even with the volume up, and I couldn't find much humor to it, though like I said, I'm not a Pokemon fan.

[Miss.Dynamite XVII]

LOL

You know, Sirkowski....

You pretty much nailed 80% of the reviewers on Newgrounds, on that last part of the movie.

I should know.... I'm a Review Moderator here on NG.

Great animation as usual, I love how you are always finding new styles to use for your movies, and the way you implement them.

Graphics: Be-a-utiful as always.

Style: Very impressive story boarding quality, visual effects like the flowers, and the guitar strumming were nice touches, made it feel like a music video.

Sound: I didn't care much for the quality here, I could here distortion in Miss Dynamite's voice.. : /

Violence: Heh, STAY OUT OF MY DREAMS YOU.... that scene says it all to me.

Interactivity: I was confused at first, I thought it might be a sim for a second there... same stuff as usual from you... a menu and stuff like scene select would be a great addition to this already masterful animation.

Humor: Not as funny as your take on the Terri Shiavo case, but still made me laugh any how.

Overall: A great piece of work, keep it up!

Sirkowski responds:

Thanks, Mr. Mod! :)

["target practice" W.W.W]

Now that's what I call great!

I was just waiting for the day this would happen!

Great parody, dude! Keep it up!

[Medical Marijuana]

LOL.... Nice

But there are some flaws in this flash's facts about Marijuana.

Don't get me wrong before I start, because I realize it's meant to be funny.

Ok, so first off, Medical Marijuana is not approved by the federal government, or the FDA, but it is legally used and prescribed in the great state of California. Now yes, the federal government triumphs all state governments, but it is not fully prosecuted in California by the DEA.

Secondly, the deal with the DEA not allowing research is utter Bullshit.

Marijuana is grown, legally, with permission from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, in Oxford Mississippi. For the sole purpose, to study its medical purposes, and harmful, and non-harmful, and legal uses, by students at Ole Miss University.

Anyway, nice flash, made me laugh, nice custom buttons, with a definite hint of sarcasm.

[A New Bunny]

LOL...BEEP...ing LOL

S....BEEP...., that was f....BEEP.... hilarious. I can't f....BEEP.... believe all the f....BEEP.... g....BEEP.... d....BEEP.... f....BEEP.... cussing in this f....BEEP.... movie.

F....BEEP.... awesome! I literally f....BEEP.... laughed my a....BEEP.... off for f....BEEP.... hour over all the ....BEEP........BEEP........BEEP.... in this movie.

The f....BEEP.... action figure f....BEEP.... laser beam eyes, being chased down the f....BEEP.... mountain..... oh man!

Great movie. Make more.

Please? ^_^

[Totally Five Live]

Call me Mr. Blowjob.

LOL, damn that was a great flash, though it had some side splitting flaws that make me want to take back my vote I gave it.

Graphics: No complaints here, this defiantly is front page quality here.

Style: I love the way you did each character with the faux cell shading, plus attention to detail was wonderful here.

Sound: I started to chuckle just when I heard these bad ass looking anthropomorphic rabbits talk. Then the hilarity that ensued almost made me cry, this is great stuff!

Violence: You get a one for the whole axe deal, WTF?? Even though there was no real violence here.

Interactivity: Ok, so this is where you get minus several million for just trying. The play button was ugly looking, and also did not work properly. It presented itself before the movie was loaded, and then wouldn't play. Once the movie finished loading, I had to press it again, and it still hesitated. All the while there was little bits of noise from the soundtrack after pressing play. Also no replay button, a big deal here. It's so annoying to watch something great like this, and then to see little details like these ignored.

Humor: ".......from now on, you shall call me Mr. Blowjob" Enough said!

Overall: I gave this a seven overall, because it is a great piece of work, but it needs much to be done on the Action-script side.

[PEACETANK]

LOL, Nice

It's always great to see more work from you in the Portal.

Graphics: Great as always, smooth, well drawn.

Style: Coming from a fan, I know its only flattery, but this animation was greatly done, with masterful MC's.

Sound: Very fitting for the animation, though it reminded me of your "dancing with Grenades" skit.

Violence: Plenty of it, though no blood, mayhem reigned!

Interactivity: Replay button, was nicely done, yet simple, and just doing your own, plays a lot of this score.

Humor: Completely random humor, is always one of your strong point, and it was not lacking in this movie.
