Mesmic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Get A God" #2]

:]

Again, great. I don't think it matched up to your first, but in saying that, I still really enjoyed it, and I trust myself in thinking you are creating a very enjoyable series.
You point out flaws in the general Christian and twist it into something light-hearted, and that is never easy to do. I found the sound in this one to be quieter than your previous installment, though... I'm not sure why that is.

I will add you to my Favourite list, because I'd really like to be informed when you release flashes :)

Cambo responds:

I'm always going to be caught between trying to please the guys who liked the first one and guys who want to see some development, so I try not to let it phase me. I've written 4 episodes all on the same day, so they're all just arbitrary which one was first and second and so on. But whatever, if you're enjoying it I'm not going to make comparisons.

I'll let you know when the next one comes out.

:O

YOU WERE ALLOWED TO DO THAT IN SCHOOL?!
You lucky sonuva...

[Newgrounds attack pt.1]

.

There's not really much I can say about this flash overall, because it's not original. It's "The Portal" by Tomorrows-Nobodies mixed in with "Animator vs Animation". If a parody was what you were intending on doing, you could have made that clearer. If it wasn't, I don't think this flash matches up to those standards. It wasn't smooth enough. Although, I know how much time and skill it takes to make what you just made. By that, I am impressed. I think it needed to be longer (also, it cut off at a random part of the movie). If you were aware that you censored the newgrounds titles to a poor standard, you also could have went back and fixed that up.

Graphics (8): Good graphics. They just needed to run smoother.
Style (4): Lack of originality, but good if you were making a parody.
Sound (7): Sound quality seemed mono, but B.Y.O.B by System of a Down was a very good choice for the subject of the flash.
Vioence (4): Not much I can say about it.
Interactivity (0): You didn't add any buttons.
Humor (3): There wasn't much humor, but the flash files getting revenge for being blammed is humor enough :)
Overall (3): Sorry, it's just too unoriginal. I don't see it lasting on NG.

I'd like to end by saying, well, you have really well developed flash skills there! I'd like to see authentic, never-done-before things from you. It's only natural to want to parody or copy a popular flash, but remember, they were original to begin with: something that adds to what they've achieved.

I hope my review has helped you in some way :)

["Get A God" #1]

Shortastic.

I love when people can do movies as short like this and pull it off, and you definitely pulled it off.
Great job.

-Mesmic

Cambo responds:

Cooltastic! Glad you enjoyed it. Great review.

-Cameron

[I Am Your Father (Bitch)]

Haha.

Great! Really well done.
The only thing I would say is, when they're fighting at the start, you can tell you looped it as it jumps. Apart from that, I really liked it. Definitely worth protecting.

-Mesmic

Red-Wolf responds:

thanks man! see im a lazy guy... so I use a lot of loops... haha.

[-All Together Now-]

I'm glad you've been experimenting with flash,
but personally it's something I wouldn't have submitted onto NG. Maybe just put it in an online portfolio to build on, maybe.
For two days, it was quite good.
Hopefully now you can use the skills you've learned to build proper animations with proper storylines.

-Mesmic.

Napalmed responds:

Thanks for the compliment, and I will try and make a half-decent animation now =p. Maybe you're right about submitting it to NG, but I wanted to see if people thought it was any good.

[My Last Flash Ever!]

:D

Hahaha, niiiice.
Although, I did watch it after 12, but ... I'll let you have it.

-Mesmic.

kinggila responds:

After 12PM GMT, but not 12PM EST (that is, Newgrounds' time zone). :P

[Press Start: Endgame 2]

Hahaha :]

I've yet to find a Press Start episode I don't like.

[.:Clay life 1:.]

Hmm.

I like what you've done. You really have the whole stop-motion thing done. But you have to consider light/surroundings. For example, the paper underneath the clay kept moving.
I know you were aiming for a silent movie, but you could have made this better with sound.
More props will make your movie more interesting.
Graphics: Not much I can say about this, as it's not a flash.
Style: I gave a 6, because it's not something you see everyday on NG
Sound: 0, because, well, there was none.
Violence: 4, because of the spears.
Interactivity: 2, a choice of replay.
Humor: 4, his fall made for a giggle.
Overall: 3, because of my later critique.

I hope to see more from you, with more improvements.

-Mesmic.

bd1000 responds:

I will consider adding sound,but I think I should stick to silence for now.

[Palz - Episode 1]

Lolz.

I laughed.
It was quite funny.

The only thing I would say is, nothing is really happening. But, as you say 'Episode 1', I expect you will be making many more. I'm voting to protect this installment so I can see where things go from here.
