Topaz989's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda is scary]

Telling everyone that you are a NOOB is no excuse

There are an infinate amount of people on here who have created good flashes for their first submission. You're just making an excuse to recieve pity from reviewers.

I'll be honest, I didn't get it the first, third or fourth time I watched it (I can do that because there are preloaders that are longer than this) I had to read a review stating what it was about. Its a cute joke but it was poorly executed. If you would've shown Zelda taking off her tiara and putting Link's hat on (A simple motion tween if you would've taken a small time to learn through the tutorial provided with Flash) than maybe people would've found it funny.

OR you could've put a small explaination saying "Zelda is alone and thinking what if Link loved her" or something like that instead of rambling how you should recieve pity points on this.

I want you to take a moment, and think, if you are some random viewer and you see "Zelda is Scary" and there is a crappy discription of the flash with very very few clues in the actual flash on what it is, would you honestly get it?

I sure as hell wouldn't. Unless they are a hardcore Zelda fan who just votes "5" on anything with the "Z" or "L" word in it.

Put a little more effort in your animation next time. Flash is not Photoshop.

[Stop Crying - Part 1]

Beautiful

People who say that this wouldn't have never received a high score had it not been on the front page don't understand the concept of Flash. Flash is an art and art is an expression. There are countless flashes on here who use it as a joke or to be funny and popular but you use it to keep your brother's memory alive.

The art on here is excellent for a new user and I like how you play on symbolism using the coloring scheme rather than just displaying objects.

I will continue to watch future episodes.

No matter how awful the world seems, remember that there are people that care about you.

[MGS3: Boss Failures]

Good Submission

Wow, this is a really creative idea. Okay confession One: I would've ignored this one if it didn't have the MGS name in it :p

I think what really caught my eye was your uber-cool Loader. That was awesome. How did you do it? That stupid snake almost hypnotised me 0_o.

Anyways, the ideas in this were also creative and quite humorous. My two favorites are The Beginning and The Box Eater.

The only bad thing was: For such good drawing and animation tricks, I was a little disappointed that all the characters just stood there with a couple of twitches/mysterious-wind-blowing-coat-in-a-closed-off-room tricks.

Well, good luck to you and your future animations.

KupaMan responds:

The coat blowing this was supposed to be a joke. You always see dark, shady people in long coats or long hair blowing in the wind when they're in like a restaurant or something. I was going to have the casting director guy say something like; "What the hell's up with that coat?" and The Slight Discomfort would just say; "Uhh--" and then it'd cut to the next scene. I just forgot to do it. Oh well.

[moogle introduction]

Can we say: Teenage Mutant Ninja Moogles?

The animation was good. A lot better than I could ever do. I thought they were cute, but I preferred the originals better.

synsacrum responds:

yeah, you just can't beat mog, but the only problem with him is that he's not very intimidating, so i tried to alter the basic character design a bit
thanks for the comment

[Metal Gear Domestic]

Weren't there two authors?

So why did you take off Lecca's name? Kind've rude, isn't it?

[Ballad of Star Wars Nerd]

Good song, bad flash

That was a really good song. The graphics were kind've crappy but the lipsyncing was good as well as the humor.

LeoZ responds:

jolly dee.

[Review: Alien vs Predator]

Problem is...

Isn't this a little old? AVP has already been out of the theaters and onto DVD months ago. Most online reviews like this come out maybe a week or two after the film debuts.

The problem with doing an old movie is that all the complaints and issues have long been dealt with long ago.

LegendaryFrog responds:

Yeah, that is a problem. But I wrote teh movie a couple weeks after I saw it, but was busy. The we started it hoping to have it done by the DVD release, but we got busy.

Better late than never!

[Halo: Funny Situations]

One part...

The only thing that was funny were the credits.

[Metal Gear Crisis 1.1]

Not worth a ten

The art's quite excellent. Especially some of the emotions (although what is up with the dancing eyebrow? I know you have to exaggerate in animation but they should move a little stiffer like they were attached to skin, not as if they were two caterpillars). I know who you are NALO; I’ve seen your other works before this and graphically, this is your best one (but you de-aged Snake into a teenager who looks younger than Otacon, if you aren’t going to use the old model, at least give him a few more age lines).

Voice acting: The guy played Otacon nailed it PERFECTLY. Too bad no one else didn’t. Snake sounded like Keanu Reeves from “Bill and Ted”, Liquid’s went way overboard with the bad british to where it got annoying, and Lady Villain reminded me of Rebecca pre-Reremake aka, she got annoying as well. Lesson? He acted like the normal Otacon from the series; while a little exaggeration is fine and recommended, the other voices practically raped it to death.

Now the script; call me crazy, or old since I am 22, but guards farting and pissing in their pants? There are a million different things you could’ve done and yet your humor downgraded from clever and witty (Return of Ganondorf) to the kind of things that are normally blammed. This isn’t funny, and at the very least, it’s redundant. If I want fart jokes done right, I’d watch an episode of South Park.

Overall, I’d rate it above average but not “the ultimate MGS flash.”

NALO responds:

ok fair enough
to be honost i didn't read the whole review it was too long but i got the main points.

i guess we can't please everyone, thanks for ewatching anyway

["Target Practice"]

It is a shame, really...

if he worked a bit more...he could've been a good flash artist, and seven people would still be alive today.
