sixflab's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[As Heaven/Earth Collide]

Good for a first

-I dabbled in this kind of animation a few years back but never bothered to put much effort into mine. Always nice to see someone doing something nice for a friend and you chosea cool way to animate it. I like seeing fbf since I know it's a little more difficult. Nothing too fancy here but it goes with the song and has it's moments.

-Not sure why you didn't animate the whole song and put up a "The End" kind of in the middle. Maybe you just ran out of ideas or didn't have time but it would look better completed. Also a slightly higher frame rate wouldn't hurt in the future since it's still a little jolty in parts here. But overall it's good for a first and I look forward to improvement.

Yeah I just wanted to get it out there for now but I'm working on finishing it. Thanx.

[Leo & Satan IV]

Superb

That was by far the best Leo and Satan to date. From the ending on the last one I thought for sure there wouldn't be a sequel but you proved me wrong. But good ol' Satan wouldn't let Leo die I suppose. Definitely suprised me at the beginning. But you've brought up a lot of gamer's problems in this one. So dramatic yet so hilarious. Also I hope that turkey is okay. A night with a hobo can't be good for it.

haha that's a blow up sheep :P

[Kwing's Dilemma]

Damn

Hahahahaha, well done. That was exactly the opposite of what I was expecting to happen when I saw a bunch of stick figures and a giant sword. I like how you want to take the high ground in your current situation as it is imo the best way to go if you're ever going to convince her parents to let you see your friend.

Cool that you made a flash to share what exactly is happening in your life atm but the lack of anything going on other than the story is also it's downfall. It's good for being made in such a short time but I feel the end result is on the short side as well as a result. Anyways good luck with this and hope everything turns out well.

Kwing responds:

Your constructive review is MUCH appreciated :)

The ending wasn't quite how I wanted it, but I felt it was as good as it could be. I'd had the visual idea of deciding to use my words instead of proving the bastards right, but sadly, I hadn't anticipated what I'd add in afterward. Every possible line of dialogue seemed cheesy, so I decided to make do with a cheesy ending and make the stamp at the end express the cheesiness in a self-conscious way.

[Quest of the Manwhore]

You've done it again.

I love these. They are just so catchy and Fernando is one of my favorite Newgrounds characters to come out in the last few years. He's so well traveled in this one and the lyrics are as strange as ever(love the subtitles option). Also yogurt is great. This reminded me that I have some in the refrigerator.

[Enjoy Your Heaven]

Eh.

I have to say, this was pretty good. The animation quality seemed high, and the personalities of each character seemed to match their appearences, which is crucial when you're working with a short feature like this; if you're only doing one of these, make sure that you get the message off to the viewers. You succeeded in doing so. The only problem is that, even though it's supposed to be a comedy, it didn't really make me laugh much. I mean, yeah I chuckled here and there, especially when the credits started rolling and they were having their arguement, but it didn't make me laugh out loud, so to speak. I don't know if it's because my personality doesn't match up to these jokes or whether it was the jokes themselves that weren't that funny. I just know that I didn't laugh.

[How to Draw Mario]

Lol

Your work always ends up suprising me. It's never the best quality drawing or the best animating but it has no shortness of entertainment. It's funny the way it panned out but there are still things that could have been a little better. Having the entire animation black and white and then in the blink of an eye become colored seemed wierd. Could have taken more time with the coloring. Spruced Mario up a bit more and had it less zoomed in on his nether regions.

XenonMonkey responds:

The video I based this off did the same thing with the color at the end.

Thanks for the review though!

[Hammer Bro Mario]

Good Job

It seems your humor from past "installments" has remained intact (one that comes to mind is Mario's Castle Calamity) and seems to have gone up a step in this one. Very nicely done and quite fluid with the sprites. Not many (at least that I've seen) have gotten down smooth movement all that well, but you look like you clearly know what you're doing. If you don't, then you're sure good at fooling us. XD But yes, very good and keep up the work.

[Tron Guy Legacy]

Nice

Wow I was surprisingly impressed by this flash. The music choice was excellent for the atmosphere of Tron and just enough of it to not loop into insanity by the end which some house/techno seem to do. The story was good, basically took the only exciting thing from the modern movie and made it enjoyable. The animation was smooth for its style and the fight scene didn't dull and kept pace along with my interest. Got some laughs just from the thought of an elite fighter being matched by an opponent nobody would have even thought of. And the ending was a slight surprise, in that I was expecting a matrix style comeback although thats all I'll say since going into more detail would spoil it.

[Nerds can never love]

Nice but a little short

The animation is different, in a good way. I like different, and this style works quite nicely. The detail, movements, everything were pretty good. Now for the plot, the one thing that could have been better would be length. The plot was more or less obvious, with it being valentines day and all, the couples in the windows etc etc. But I think you were clutching at straws a bit with the ending, and im damn certain that you know this too. Yes the Animation seemed to have stopped abruptly, but you added in a small joke to try and compensate for it? add a little bit more in, or something. Yes yes, it was funny and all but It seemed a bit unnecessary. So all in all, this is one damn good flash!

[Luminiscense]

Amazing

This flash is by far one of the greatest I've ever seen. The scenery, the art, the colors the and even the cheesy dialogue all make this such an emotional piece.
The only reason why I'm nitpicking about the little flaws is because this work has so much potential. As other reviewers have pointed out, a fleet of Nazi bombers bombing an empty (albeit beautiful) field makes no sense. Although the scene when the planes appeared almost made me cry, the illogical nature of it all detracted a lot from the otherwise powerful piece. I can't wait to see more of this story, keep up the good work.
