Topaz989's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arfenhouse Teh Movie 3]

Sad.

This joke has already been done and far better in "Man On the Moon" with Jim Carrey.

The flash itself was dull, and is no better than those one joke, quick-tween-fest flashes.

Delivering what you promised? This is pretty much a quick version of what Legendary Frog did when people were constantly begging for his Code Veronica spoof.

I don't know, maybe I wouldn't have been so harsh if you weren't begging for money all the time in exchange for Arfenhouse 3 and I quote:

Anyway--for those who actually read this far and keep leaving reviews asking for it, AHTM3's on the way. Check my website at DLabs, which will eventually have movie progress info updated every now and then. Or just donate some money so I can spend more time working on these and less time working a pointless redundant job in some office. A few bucks means that people give enough of a damn to support the author instead of just cattleprodding him... which is me. Okay I'm done whoring myself so go watch the movie :(((
-Misteroo, Comments from 8 Bitch 5: Evil on the Attack.

In short:

Graphics: You scrolled text, what would YOU give it.

Style: As mentioned, the joke isn't even original.

Sound: Music was catchy, but I still turned it off halfway through.

Violence: None

Interactivity: None

Humor: I didn't find this funny, neither the message or the concept.

Overall: I enjoy reading your reviews. Don't you lambaster people on this stuff all the time?

"You think you're all that... but you're not"

Misteroo responds:

And then Captain Obvious flew in through the window and shot the masses with his laser vision before flying away... but even then none realized the movie wasn't legit, took it seriously, and got angry. Later, they were in therapy. But it didn't help.

[15 Minutes Collab]

Crap...

Instead of viewing one crappy entry, it was a whole collab.

JackNicholson responds:

YAY

[Aeonneo]

Not the best but...

I think its good enough to pass judgement. Although its part teaser, you put enough plot in it to make it interesting. I can easily tell what was going on in all the scenes and although its slow a couple of times, it's not too agonizing.

You may want to work on your gradients though. Try to make your own instead of relying on the default gradients. You can adjust them and such.

[No Man's Land Flash Anime]

I'm probably going to get shot for saying this but

As an artistic piece, its absolutely stunning. But this is hardly an episode. While I doesn't have to be like 20 minutes like some of the stuff on here, having a character walk in, and shoot a demon doesn't really warrant the word "episode"... "teaser" but not episode. I know it sounds picky but if you would've put "teaser" I would've given it a ten hands down. But to call this an episode... I was left more with a "that's it?" look on my face.

I know you said you will do a second episode, but if you've already taken up 4.5 megs for this, what will you do when it comes time to add maybe voices or a longer plot?

I know this score is lower than most on here, but I'm a person who values plot over visuals. Obviously this isn't the case with everyone and there are those who value graphics over plot and that's fine too.

I wish you good luck in the future.

You can just count the anime cliches

Although I was mainly laughing at all the cliches in this (DBZ energy balls, wind blowing after an opponents demise etc...) it was still a surprisingly enjoyable movie. There was alot of camera angle work(which is good :)) and the music was well suited for this. Plenty of moving action so it didn't go dull. But you need to have a little faith in the intelligence of your audience. (why would any villian stick a "fortress" sign on their front lawn? Unless they were trying to sell the place.)

[Sparkling Angel]

I think you could've improved character models

Your video is well storyboarded and I really like the atmosphere and music. But I'm not to fond of the character models. I feel that because there wasn't alot difficult limb movements, you could've afforded to create more complex models.

If you are wondering why graphics are a 9, and style is a 2... I feel that your drawing and backgrounds were nice, but the round headed-South Park look clashed everything else.

[A Very Short Western]

I love your submissions

Your drawings are quite fluid with a style that's clean and unique. Great use of color, backgrounds and movement.

[Ganondorf: Ganondump]

Where to begin...

I saw the first one when it came out. And now when I noticed that you created a V2, I was hoping that the main problems would be fixed but that was not the case.

Graphics: Here is a quick anatomy lesson. The full arm (from the shoulder to the fingers) should reach mid-thigh. The hands themselves(before the wrist to the tip if the fingers) should be about the size of the face(from chin to hairline). In any Zelda parody, if you don't get Link right, your going to have to fight off hoards of fanboys with a stick.

Now some scenes, Link looked pretty good. (he actually looked cute walking up to the castle and standing there) but his arms looked awful it was like they were replaced with a midget.

But, the graphics were good enough to tell what was going on.

Sound: Not shabby. Good use of effects.

Violence: Link's face got crap all over him.

Interactivity: The blooper reel was amusing to listen to. And cheers for fixing the bugs on the dress up game :) Most people don't even bother adding extras to their flashes.

Humor: Potty humor isn't my style.But I did enjoy the end part where Link steals the "fin" sign.

Overall: Well I never noticed that the grunting that Ganon makes sounds like he's taking a crap until now. I'll never look at SSBM the same again :p. Anyways if you plan on doing another, I'd suggest you make fun of the nipple costume in F-Zero GX for the Gamecube ;)
