GloineFiodh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[dracula's castle]

This is good sprite

I really liked this. It's good to see you didn't take yourself too seriously and added a Koopa into the mix. I thought it worked well and it was very well animated. The plot is decent so far, but I'd like to see more. As redundant and over used as they are here on newgrounds, I think you should do a cross over series, with maybe more then just Castlevania and Mario, and perhaps Chrono Trigger and some other good game characters. Regardless, I'd like to see more of this series, keep up the good work.

thanks man :)

[BASHING]

Decent.

It looks very Dan Paladin inspired, which isn't a bad thing, because it was also pretty original. One thing I did like a lot, was how you zoomed in on the characters faces, and you could see all the details on them. It showed you have a little more drawing ability then little walking blobs. Now the animation itself could use some work. It was very sketchy frame by frame, which seemed to fit with the style, but could use some touching up. Overall, I liked it, but it needs some work done to it to make it a real gem here on Newgrounds. Try adding actual punch animations instead of just the tween of one character punching, then the other flying backward. It's good to use once in awhile, but not every time something happens, it comes off as cheesy. Also, when you do decide to animate something like that, don't make them silouhetes, it's unnecessary and it seems like your just being lazy, but I've done the same thing, so I can sympathize. Overall, it's a good flash, keep up the good work. Best of Luck.

CYCLOKAT responds:

Thanks for your huge speech and im not LAZY :)

[Mortasheen]

Awesome.

I'm really glad to see such great work coming from someone whose not very well known here on Newgrounds. This is really great shit man. Very original characters, and extremely well animated. The whole grotesque feel set this real nice mood to watch that. I really could appreciate some of the black comedy (at least I thought it was funny) that you snuck in there. The sound effects were used well, overall this was just an amazing flash. Please continue Mortasheen, it's a very rich world, and you should expand with a story and plot and add some background to the characters. I don't know if you should make it something big, but look at the little buzzers for example. Great job overall, please keep up the great work. PM me if you have any questions are need help. I'm always looking to do work.

Scythemantis responds:

Thanks! I always appreciate detailed comments. I definitely want to do more than just this one short, though I'm not sure what direction I'd be going. I originally planned something with dialog and some human characters, but who knows.

[The Action Collab]

Not horrible,

But not great. I was expecting a lot more for some reason. I really liked Saltypeach's and Flatthead's work. Flatthead perfected animation, where his drawing could use a little more work, and Saltypeach needs to make his backgrounds more detailed, and have more movement so characters don't seem so stiff. All in all, not the best collab, but it had it's moments. Keep practicing.

[OT01: Out There]

Wow.

I can't say it isn't well animated, because it is, but the pixel thing wasn't working in this. I don't know if it was because I wasn't expecting it or if it was just a personal turnoff, but either way, it didn't seem to work. The music was excellent and really fit the pixelated animation style you were working with. As hard I tried to avoid my biased already going into this, I feel some was left over. I know it isn't your fault, but for lack of a better word, you 'stole' my characters name. I don't want to point a finger at you because you probably thought of your idea before mine, but it still bothered me. Anyway, Good Luck with this series. It looks promising!

Gerkinman responds:

Astro? Hes been a character of mine for about 5 years now, was from one of my old old comic series.

[Zone of the Awesome]

Very funny.

For someone who hasn't played the game, I can tell you I understood this, and that this was enjoyable for me. I'm glad this got front page, it gives Newgrounds the variety it needs. Your animation was very 'awesome-like' and funny. I was skeptical that such an unknown game would make a stupid awesome parody, but this turned out to be excellent. Keep up the good work. Good Luck.

Galneda responds:

I'm very happy I could exceed your expectations...I hope I can do it again with what's coming next! Thanks for the review!

[Abnormality Episode -1-]

I wasn't expecting much.

But this turned out to be very interesting. I really like how you started this by showing us these characters, and immediately letting us know that they have these powers, but nothing makes sense right now. I'm really looking forward to the next installments, and I can see this being the next super series on Newgrounds. Please continue these!

[FC Tells Da Truth]

I enjoyed it.

I'm disturbed to see your average score is a 6 with so many reviews. This flash IS good. The animation is wonderful, and it sets a mood. I'm truly disapointed to see the quality of reviews and how unknowing some of the Newgrounds community can be. Keep up the great work. Nothing but smooth framebyframe and great drawings here.
