[Don't Smoke]

Better subject?

This needs a much better theme to it, anti-smoking zealots and a poor flash movie combined creates something that is utterly terrible and pure rubbish.
Lucky enough You get a 4/10 for this, i dont think it's worthy, but I wont change the score on you, becuase I didnt think it was too bad, because the animation was smooth and the stick man was drawn fairly well (when you consider it's a stick man), it had some decent sounds and some semi-decent violence.
Just... next time, pick a better topic for your flash. This got kinda boring to tell the truth.

[feelin' lucky]

There's a point I guess

But I have to agree with some previous reviewers, if this was submitted by today's standards, this would probably be blammed quickly.
It's not awful, but the joke is a bit expected/unfunny.
On top of there being no sound or preloader, with the poor graphics and violence, I don't find that this flash is worth watching.

[Two Birds With One Stone]

Good stuff

Apart from the shortness of this flash, this movie has a lot of good things going for it.
There's good graphics, and the sound effects were great! No complaints in either of those departments from me! The Violence and humour are present, but i Though the flash IS short, I honestly can't find a way that you could extend it without going off topic/incredably random/pointless/boring.
SOOOO, I give this movie a 4/5.

[Run Sheep Run]

Funny

This is a kinda funny music video, the soundtrack is very random, but this is a fine music video for a random song, I dont know why... it just is.
There's lots of crazy sheep action and deaths which lasts quite a while.
The backgrounds were a bit blan... and it did get repetitive real fast.
That scene where the whole screen is filled with sheep and you're watching from above is... well, theres many terms to describe it... trippy, epileptic, 'groovy', any hippie/drug term will work here.
Nice stuff though!

[The Fight of The Sticks]

Poor Xiao Xiao

This is a decent stick fight, and it had lots of different moves and fighters involved, it has a nice simple background.
The sound effects weren't that bad either.
It's just too obvious that you're trying to do your own version of Xiao Xiao good as the originals.
Better than many stick fights though, but that's because most stick fights are newb flash creators, I'm including them into the comparison as well.
Nice job anyways!

[(junk)VG Life]

Not great

This is supposed to be your funniest submission? God, I'd hate to see your other works then.
This is just a random collection of sprites interacting with each other in a tired, predictable, boring manner.
The sprites move well, but that's to be expected as a minimum in a sprite movie.

[survival tactics 101]

Decent

The lack of sound is very disappointing, but apart from that, it's decent.
This has a couple of funny moments where there's some comedic violence.
Though I can't help feeling it would have been better if there were some backgrounds, or if the sticks were simple clearer to see.
I cant quite put my finger on it, but there was a part of it I liked, and disliked.

[Mr Poser Has a Great Fall]

Alright..

You say this is quickly made, and it shows...
But what you did isn't too bad.
The injury is kinda funny, it's somewhat amusing.
But apart from that... the flash is lacking in many aspects... there's no background... the graphics are very basic... and the sounds were much too quiet and it's much too short.

With a bit more effort, this could have been a lot better, but as of now... it's decent enough.
