UberBarista's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strike Flyers - Episode 2]

I voted 5, here's why:

Graphics: Decent, but the animations made up for what it lacked.
5
Style: Exploding butterflies of death?
5
Sound: WTF was that? It sounded like someone was raping a synthesizer. Seemed to fit with the animation though.
5
Violence: Exploding butterflies of death?
10
Interactivity: One button = low score.
2
Humor: Exploding butterflies of death?

EXPLODING BUTTERFLIES OF DEATH? Where did you get the idea for that?

*crosses legs and waits*

[Re-Vengeance]

I voted 2, here's why:

Graphics: Well, they could use improvement, but it was good.
7
Style: interesting, but not much else to explain here for an intro, and 5 seconds of a movie.
5
Sound: I hate Papa Roach.
4
Violence: I guess a guy getting beheaded off screen, and then rolling into view and bleeding every where deserves a five.
5
Interactivity: Could have been higher, even if it was just a test, or preview. You should have enabled the credits, and the special features & scene selection menus, but linked them up in actionscript so they go back to the menu for this test.
4
Humor: I dunno, was there any?
0

It looks alright, but Newgrounds is not a "testing" area, it says that in the portal FAQ.

[Butterscotch the Horse]

I voted 5, here's why:

Graphics: Well, that was done quite well, and showed real talant. Especially the ghost of Butterscotch, to be precise.
9
Style: I very much so like the style of this animation, minus the rather bad voice acting. Though that did give the animation, a certain story like feel.
8
Sound: Umm, well, you added the hoofsteps, and chains, but the voice over was horrible in my opinion.
5
Violence: DIE BUTTERSCOTCH!!! DIE!!!!
6
Interactivity: Nice preloader, and I am as glad to see you took the effort to put redirect buttons at the end of the animation, instead of what most people here do, and redirect to the "on_load" command, for the preloader.
8
Humor: What could be funnier han a gay horse getting shot, and then coming back to reclaim his body?
10

The animation used in this flash file is of a great quality, and you do have potential to rise in the ranks of "the best" on Newgrounds. Keep up the good work.

[Random Fight]

Voted 5, here's why:

Graphics: Not great, but not bad for a FxF animation, no use of color brought this score down by 3 points.
5
Style: I liked the way you drew the figures, plain and simple, but see above for explanation of score.
6
Sound: I didn't really care for the music used, but it seemed to fit the animation.
6
Violence: Tons of it. :D
10
Interactivity: Standard play button, woo-diddly-hoo...
2
Humor: Seemed funny at parts, a over all animation that did not take itself too seriously.
8

I'd like to see more, but please put some more thought into the asthetics of the movie.

JGA responds:

Thanks that was the most longest and nicest review i got... O.O
Yay at least someone thinks its funny!

Sprite Animations

Don't take this personal, because I have given you a four.

Newgrounds is chock full of sprite animations from other games, used together, to make a completely different story line for the authors movie.

You seem to know what you are doing here, with the sprite you used, and the backgrounds, but you could have taken more time to use better sound, and to actually make a better menu for your movie.

I like how you set it up, but it was made lame, with the plain text used, and the black background. Thus interactivity was given a 4. Using Mortal Kombat's movie signature song, made me seal the deal on sound alone with a 4. The Humor, well, was not really funny, totaling up to a 2 here, lame reference in the beginning to AYB being part of that.

Also, no voice acting. I understand this can make or break a good movie, and by that, I understand why you might not have had any.

The fight scene was decent, also showing that your are not a regular sprite submitter. It merited a 5 on the fact nothing special was shown, or done.

All, in all, your work shows potential.

Spend some more time on your menu creations, like you did for your pre-loader, add better sound, and make it a little longer.

You would have some true quality content then. Keep the hard work up.

Star Syndicate

You are not fooling anyone, everyone on this site realizes that your collaborative movies are only saved because you have your group, of kiddies, always voting 5, on these pathetic attempts to create Flash movies.

I will always vote 0, on your movies, until you come up with something that is decent, and worthwhile. Yes, I do watch them through, to the end, Just to give the benefit of doubt, before voting.

In closing, I would like to quote the words of John Stewart, "please stop, your killing America...."

NorthStarx responds:

If you are truely as reasonable as you as you are, u would not give us a zero on sound b/c we had sound, and we had violence and we had more interactivity than most movies considering teh floating head and all the options of movies. So you are wrong! People like you " Are killing America..."

[Edik Bui and Monika]

Oh Savior!

One more time to add to the list of saved movies.....

<sarcasm>

Your movie had an interesting setup, though I am not a fan of claymation, this was a break from the usual, with a little more effort put into the details of the movie. It could have been made much better to drop that annoying soundtrack, and to be fully animated.
