Topaz989's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Legend of Zelda: The end]

A few pacing problems

There is a lot of good stuff in this flash like the visuals and the music. I notice you have a keen eye for detail such as the subtle eye waverings. However I had to knock off a few points because I feel some scenes were alot longer than they should be. I honestly think you could've taken a couple of seconds off the panning of Link in the beginning as well as a couple of other scenes. Well, I did like the flash though and although I can't say it is the best, it is alot better than most of the other Zelda flashes out there in terms of production value.

[X-Men: House of M part 4]

Felt Rushed

I've been watching this series since the beginning and to be honest, this ending feels disjointed and rushed.

There were a couple of things that had me scratching my head... so correct me if I'm wrong...
1) I thought the little girl was Lela or Dakota Fanning, not a young Drew Barrymore.
2) Where's Wolverine? He was probably one of the most important people in The House of M because he remember the true reality. He didn't even show up in this one, nor speak. And everyone knows Marvel has to throw him in every comic ;)

And after Quicksilver's bitch slapping, Scarlett Witch's little rant really got on my nerves... (although the baby scene was funny)

I think if you are going to do a parody on a comic book series, you should do the older ones. There's alot of potential and you won't have to worry about keeping up with the comics. Like Kitty's dozens of crappy costumes, the time the X-Men went to Austrailia and they had that thing that shielded them from survaliance(sp) etc.

[Link The Stalker (Ep. 1)]

It's funny on what's considered an episode anymore

I've seen the very first time you submitted this... I don't think it survived past blam. I saw the second version of this, and all it showed was up till the part of Link starting to follow Zelda. And now, I come to this one... I say to myself "well, it has 4 more MBs and a good score, let's see what he's got." I've never been so disappointed. There's no meat to this submission to warrant 5 MBs...

[Omaha.]

I can't believe

I'm actually crying over characters that look like lego men. This was absolutely beautiful.

[Dear Dad]

Flash is art and a way to convey emotion...

From the black and white graphics... to the music, and your voice this flash shows us your feelings to your father.

He is lucky to have a son like you.

[Project I.V.]

The girl looks like a cyborg version...

...of the chick on the Fallen Angel Teaser.

Anyways, I was a little shock to find actual human characters instead of little round men with cross marks for faces.

The character looked good before the fight but when that began, she and everyone else looked... odd. ...almost chibi-like.

The concept is good, and I respect, and give you best of luck on this new direction. I think after one or two episodes, any flaws that this one had will be neatly ironed out.

[Eddy]

Good movie...

It took me a little bit to figure out that Eddy was a symbolization of Katie.

Its odd, although your graphics appear to be crappy, they were also fitting. I really like the abstract, scratchy tone you put on it.

Sound is only a zero because the speakers are off (I'm in a public place). Nothing against you and nothing counted for.

This is a really good sleeper-hit. Thank you for sharing Katie's story with us :)

XxFooLxX responds:

thankx i waz worried that ppl wouldnt make the conection bettween the two ppl. i waz true that i waz perposly using a kinda stechy style of anamation to add that weridness factor to this film. thats for hearing kates story im sure she would be happy to know that so many ppl now know.

[!!!REBELLION!!! (trailer)]

Looking good.

This is a very stylish video. I like how the characters looked but the problem was that you either hit the nail on animation or it looked horrendously crappy (like the one scene where he has his back turned away and the cape/jacket thing was blowing). It is a teaser, and its done its job. Now the hard part, will you actually complete it?

Sythes-of-Death responds:

yeah i know.....as i have said already i will be reworking scene's here...and i have 6 months to do the first part.....so plenty of time to make it good i think...
And um YES people seem worried that i wont complete this......i want to become an animator in the future and i want to use this series im making as a main portfolio piece for jobs...:P.....
But at the same time i really want to do something different with sci-fi action/drama.....no worries this will be complete come JULY 2006!!!

[Zelda Hero of Awesomeness]

That's pretty good :)

Graphics: Aside from proportion issues, they were quite pleasing. I think the biggest thing I can say is that you did a good job on 3-D areas such as the houses at the beginning, the book, and the spinning tri-forces.

Style: Its a well executed and directed video. The vibrant colors work really well here. The fact that you used your own drawings and backgrounds and not sprites and a black background gives you a 10.

Sound: People, it's the song was done by Rabbit Joint. The author even took time to do research(unlike some of the reviewers here). He provided a valid source, and you didn't. If you can't accept it, you can bite my ass.

Violence: None.

Interactivity: Good effects for the play button, especially for first flash.

Humor: Sorry, but this type of flash has been done a million times (and yes even before Legendary Frog).

Overall: I'm very impressed. I think if you learn to draw better in terms of humans, and animate smoother, you can have a bright future over here.

[LOZ- Navi=obviousness]

That was not worth the 4K wait

I'm sorry but the joke wasn't even funny (actually "overused" is a more proper word), the song didn't fit, and it took forever to load just watch Link stand and do nothing.

Seriously, pick some shorter music, but if you still want the RHCP song than at least go to some music editting software and cut out the amount you need instead using the whole thing and wasting 3MB worth.

Trippy-Hippie responds:

i dunno if anyone actually noticed (i didnt really emphisize it) but the actual joke was that by the end he was in lake hylia with the boots and navi still told him to do that. iv had it happen to me in the game.

the song didnt fit cuz what would? i dont have zelda music and i needed something faster than some game music anyways

the file size is because of the music, but i wanted it to be as clean as possible so i kept it in its original format instead of downsizeing it
