smi1ey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chaos 2]

FINALLY!

a sprite movie with voice acting... and GOOD voice acting too! you actually gave the characters expressions, even with being limited by using sprites. i loved some of the subtle perspective changes with the camera, and i appreciate how hard those can be when using 2-D animations! just a very good sprite flash, and something that other sprite animators should look to and strive for.

[Bozophilia]

very moving.

very rarely does a flash get submitted that contains such high attention to animation, detail, sound, and story. this was technically very well done, with a very sad and real story to boot. very good piece, and i wish more people were mature enough to realize this.

[The 10 Second Collab]

great

i generally don't like collabs much at all, but it was really good to see one that doesn't take itself so seriously! there was some very clever shorts in there! (except for the kirby one of course, wtf)... but anyways good job all.

Evan responds:

thanks =D

[Super Mario bros Z ep 3 (old series)]

incredibly well done!

my only complaint is the damn 'next arrow' in the text. why is that necessary? whe n i watch a movie, i don't want to have to move my mouse around to find where to click with every new line. i would say make that an option, or put the arrow in the same place for every line so i can just click without moving the mouse around. anyways, other than that fantastic job!

Alvin-Earthworm responds:

Yeah, I'll make it so the arrow stays in one place next time. Either that, make it so you press the space bar or enter key instead.
I'm kinda getting sick of people complaining at the moment. =\

[PPGZ in a Nutshell]

it's about the laughs

the graphics weren't good. the sound wasn't all that great. there was no plot...

BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN IT WAS HILARIOUS!

all my 5.

Wonchop responds:

That's the kinda review I like to hear!

[BonusStage:TheLostEpisode]

how are these not all over a 4?!

i just watched all 15 episodes here at NG, and EVERY ONE of them was SO GOOD! the animation is slick and hilarious, and the voices are very well done! i'll have to check out the rest of the episodes... 89!? sheesh!

[Upstairs]

beautiful.

no other way for me to describe it. very rarely does a flash animation move me. that one did. incredibly well done, and very introspective. the mood, the style, the music, i loved it all. i wish you well in your future works.

Five-Iron responds:

Thank you smile.

[Saint - Chapter 2]

really good start...

but the end worried me. i really hope this doesn't turn into another zombie series. it really doesn't matter how you get there, a zombie is always a zombie movie... seen one you've seen them all. if that ending was just referring to some bizarre cult acts or something, the good. i have high hopes for this series, so far really well done!

p.s. you may wanna take care of the high pitch feedback that comes through when you're recording the lines... it gets kinda irritating, and it makes it so you can tell when the sound clips play or stop playing, which takes away from the quality some. good luck!

TheZebu responds:

I knew someone would say this... ^^;

No, this isn't going to be a "zombie series". They're only one of the many outgrowths of corruption the cult has created.

[FPS In Real Life]

cool idea!

i used to do stuff like this when i was a kid... not near as advanced, of course. ;) one tip for ya, the halo music didn't go with this film, AT ALL. next time focus on mood music or something, rather than a generic track through the entire game. other than that, cool movie! =)
