j00bie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Los Dias Sin Dias]

Great!

I just loved this, it's a bit of a crazy entry but it's excellent nonetheless. The graphics were beautifully detailed, nicely animated with brilliant lighting effects.
When the guy's making shadows it looks great. Very good music selection which suited the movie perfectly, and a nice storyline.
Didn't make a huge amount of sense, but it's well worth watching and one of the best entries I've seen for a while.

[Asparagus]

poor.

Probably had enough in it to pass judgement, but barely. The entry is very poor, the graphics look like they were made in less then or equal to two minutes, the voices are very difficult to comprehend.
it's too short for there to be any plot, it's basically a "nothing" movie, in that nothing happens and there's nothing in it to recommend it.

[Tales of Nosu]

Great!

Superb work! Something for everybody to enjoy, while looking incredible especially considering it was made well over a year ago!
The backdrops and graphical effects are some of the best I've seen (and look at the origin!), although the drawings of the main character weren't particularly my style.
Cool music, but the voices weren't the greatest, only a minor problem though as they're understandable.

[Silent Cows #1]

Cool ending.

It starts off a bit dull but the ending is pretty comical... it made me laugh, extra points for that :D.
It looks a bit 'sloppy' but that kind of adds to the humour.
This is loaded with some pretty nice sounds, a better than average, quick no-brainer short.

[Despair]

I dont understand the purpose.

It's just a series of stills, maybe if I liked the style of art I wouldn't be so harsh, but I really didn't like this.
This isnt a place to shove artwork, NG is a place for flash work, yhis isn't a flash movie at all to be honest, some drawings with music in the background simply won't cut it.

1/5

[Wing and the Anvil]

Good ending.

It's the only part of the movie that's pretty good. It's downside is that you know the ending, it's so predictable that it makes it not as funny as it potentially could.
Not great in any department, if you like cheap anvil jokes you'll love it.
Could have been worse, but it could have been alot better.

Techneon responds:

yeah, well it's kinda hard to make a masterpeice in 2 hours.

[Change]

Excellent work!

A really good thought provoking animation, with very nice graphics and music. It's hard to believe this was made in 2000, such is the quality of it.
I just found it to be a little bit on the dull side, and lost some interest in it, in a way that Qi doesn't for example.
Not something that will be appreciated by everyone, but a quality piece of flash work is what it is.

Good job.

[Pacman 8-bit Revenge V.2]

Decent Pacman

Not bad at all, short but relatively funny.
The little musical effects were great, they fitted into the movie very well.
There's only so far you can go graphically with Pacman... given the storyline this is probably as good as it can get.
Good job.

[Mario's day out]

Not bad.

For a first flash, it's OK, the sprite animation isn't too badm but not anything to WOW me.
the story just isn't that funny and it moves too slowly to be of any real interest.
Your sound levels are way off as well, try to get them at roughly the same volume as each other. Next time, try to make some original stories (or original characters even - Mario sprite flashes are really dull now).
