Topaz989's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Matt G's - BATMAN ep. 0]

His head

I like the style. Reminds me of a mixture of Frank Miller and Paul Dini. However, the consistancy was a little off. One point (when he was walking away from the camera) he was proportional, the next his head blew up to about twice the size. It looks really bad. Shoulders tend to give a character a more prominent(sp?) look. Sure batman tends to slink a little bit on the cartoons but you didn't do it right and he looks more funny than serious. Oh and the zero for sound is because my speakers not functioning so its best I not judge that than to guess a score. But it didn't count against you.

[WWWWWw]

Not bad for a first flash

I'm guessing this is your first flash. Although it really wasn't funny, it was quite cute though. But here's a little advice, you may want to create more plot next time. Fighting sprite animations just don't cut it anymore here.

[Saria's Song]

Well, its not flash...

But its not crap either. You're a good musician, the notes were on key, the sound was extremely crisp, and you're alot cuter than the Numa Numa guy (*wink*).

[X-Men:Dark Phoenix Rising]

Holy Hell!

It takes ALOT of skills to make out a sequel and have it being funnier than the last; but my GOD, I can't believe you just "whipped it out" in a matter of days. You know what you should do? Write to Marvel, show them these flashes, become the new Bullpen author. You should really consider turning this into a full fledge series.

[FF: Mixed in Balamb2(2/3)]

Haven't you been reading your reviews?

Most of the complaints in this flash are 1) the animation sucks, because the characters look like they are those puppets who have sticks attached to their feet and you just wave it up and down everytime you want someone to talk, walk etc. 2) The humor needs alot of work (You're a cloud..... ..... ...) and the one point I actually laugh is on a bonus scene... I was going to tell you that was clever but then I find out it was from another comic and not your own.

And now you want us to donate money for a freggin Wacom create better drawings!?! Look, your art is fine, but get your freggin priorities straight. Take a look at the most of the top 20 of all time.You may have prettier art than some of them, but what they also balance, wit, cleaverness, orginality, and better action scenes. You want to know why you aren't up there with them? Because, if your skills were a bar chart, Graphics are at the moon and everything else is in the Marianas Trench.

Besides, what good is a wacom, when you can't even demonstrate fbf action? Shoot, you don't even show scenes of characters walking with their feet shown except when their shaded black. For all we know, you'll just continue to tween except its not "drawn with a mouse".

[The Legend of Link Intro]

Needs alot of improvements

The beginning started off good. However there were a couple of things that need to be fixed before you should get your series on the roll. First off, its probably best that you add wings to Navi. I know you mentioned somewhere that you think the wings look stupid but the sad fact is that unless you want fanboys and girls niching at your heals over that one detail over and over, you may want to consider it. Also, Link looks terrible. Remember, he's one of the main characters, aka the guy people are going to look at throughout your series, aka the guy people are going to concentrate on.
I think its because there is none or barely any shadowing. If you can do Navi, than shadowing should be no problem. If it is, than go to a shadowing tutorial here at this site. It makes a big difference. Also, you made his face a little too square. Good for castles, bad for people. It needs to be more rounded off. The same goes for your eyes.

Ya, I know Link needs to be redone. I am in the process of redrawing him, and harofreak is also redoing this intro completly an his Link looks alot better. as for wings for navi...I'll try my best to make them look good. I'm probably not going to make the deadline for ep1.

[Hacky Sack Insanity]

It looks awesome

But it looks alot like the XiaoXiao series(although that was based on the Matrix) from the 3D switches to even the sound effects.

None the less, it gets a 10 in style.

I took off just one point for graphics because the background color made it hard to see the balls at time. Something brighter would be nice.

[I Am Nintendo]

Don't call it ripping off...

There's a BIG difference between parodying(sp?) and ripping off. If this film was shown before the "I AM Resident Evil" flash, it would've gotten a pretty crappy score. But considering it was made before this one, when you compare the two, it makes it absolutely hilarious.

[Evil Josh & Billy]

Hmmmm

This reminds me of a cross between Mission Hill(ESPECIALLY the older brother/little brother) and The Adventures of Billy and Mandy. But there's nothing wrong with it, because frankly, it works. I really see alot of potential in this series. The humor isn't bad, but I think you can do better. The animation ranges from crisp and smooth to choppy at times(and no, I'm not counting that part where the spoon bites him :P) Good luck with any new episodes. It be nice to see these for a change(instead of Broken Saints Part 235 section 3)
