alexsmolik's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NGs' Guide to Blamming!]

It was OK

And oh so true.
I had a 5 on your little game at the end... Hehe.
Everything you said is rather true, most people vote like that and the technics you gave are often used... At least, that's what I notice.
Now what I would like to know is ... what's the title of that song lol ?
I really like it.
Thanks in advance,

ALEX

Potski responds:

The title of that song is 'Money for Nothing' and is by the Dire Straits. Glad you liked it.

Well done on your score. And thanks.

It was OK

Well, first of all, this is a "joke" compared to Stick Slayer in every aspect it can be judged for, except the " $ bullet scene". At least that's what I think.

You could've spent more times on the graphics, adding more shades, more MovieClips, more effects, making the rain a bit more real, even though I guess it was to not make low-processors crash. The style was good though, but it lacked something. I just can't explain. You totally reedemed yourself with the "$ bullet scene" though ! =)
The sound was good, nothing to complain about.
You should have made it a bit longer, and optimized a few things to make the file size smaller. At least, I think you could've.

Nice job overall,
Keep it up.

[Numa Numa Dance]

Weird yet ... hypnotizing.

Seeing how this video is getting more and more notorious...
I said, well, I might as well review it.

So I think the idea is completely "stupid", but it's the kind of things that makes us laugh no matter what. So it's the key to laughter and success in a way. The choreography is fun, and I prefer the "new version", without all those weird imported images interrupting the video (the 1st Numa Numa).

Maybe you'll make another Internet madness soon ! :)

[Neglected Sky]

Good Message

I think that you're right on some points.
At least, you're trying to do something, to pass a message, and you've achieved that with Newgrounds and Flash, reaching a global audience from all over the world.
I think that "natural energy" (sun, wind) is a good thing, but it will never be able to have the same amounts of energy we produce nowadays. That being said, the more we can use it, the best it is. They should do it under the sea, with the currents and everything.
I just do not understand why Americans do not sign the Kyoto Protocol. One guy said in the reviews it was to cripple american businesses. Well, the rest of the world signed it, meaning that the rest of the world agreed to have their businesses "crippled" for the good of humanity.

Overall nice flash, even though you could've worked a bit more on the graphics such as adding colours, but since it was all FbF, I would rather not lol.

Keep it up,
ALEX

[TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody]

Quite funny I must say

Well, I have to admit that it is an ingenuous idea, the music was just awesome. The lyrics were incredibly hilarious, and the way the guys sang it, even more. Brilliant stuff ... Long time since I haven't seen AYBABTU related things.
That being said, the graphics weren't as good as those in "Only Superhuman". I've seen better from you, even though they were above overall.
Keep up the original works !
ALEX

TmsT responds:

?_?
Only Superhuman's graphics sucked! Are you being sarcastic? O_o

[-Play-]

Pretty good !

What else can I say ? There isn't much to judge in here.
Except reward the smooth animation and the effort put in this flash movie, the fact that the music synched really well with the animation, that was awesome. You must've spent quite some time doing that. Congrats on your patience.
Keep up the good work,
ALEX

[Final Fantasy Day Care 2]

Simply Great

Truly a magnificent work,
I've always wanted to do something similar, but I guess I never got the hang of it, I never manage to finish my entries and my projects, which sucks. I loved the way you made your characters and how you used the flash tools to draw them. I love the colours and the animation, along with the voices and the concept.
It even has some funny parts, you get my 5 for that man.

Keep up the AWESOME series coming.
Don't you dare be afraid to break the limit of 2MB ! :)

[Thief Ninja]

Simple...

... yet effective !

I kinda liked it, the graphics, the feeling, the atmosphere. I loved the scene when the Ninja gets into that "corridor", and you see the Katana at the end (it reminds me of a former flash of mine, Deception 3) !
Anyways, it was cool. And I loved the music too.
Keep it up.
ALEX

[Gandalf's 'Adventures']

Pretty good !

I really liked the opening scene, the one where Frodo is reading under the tree. The background is truly beautiful, even though you should've added more MovieClips to make it more alive, but hey, it's fine the way it is, I'm just being a pain in the ass, because after all, I'm here to review your movie to help you get better !

So there you go, the graphics were pretty good. The animation too. The music was a nice tune, but I thought it didn't play loud enough, but that's not much of a problem.

Pretty good movie in overal, even though it's kinda short.
Keep up the good work !
ALEX

green-lotus responds:

GOD that great!! Im honoured that someone so amazing at animating gave me a good review. That just made my day! Thanks, and I'll try and improve as many as as possible :P

[The real santaclause]

Awesome man

Oh my god.
Dude, you did a wonderful, brilliant job. I am SO SO jealous haha. I mean, your graphics are so nice, really. The animation is smooth, even though it lags a little bit on my computer (but that's just my computer, I'm getting a new one at Christmas).
The plot was nice, I liked the joke, and when everyone starts screaming and stuff. It really is a nice piece of artwork. May I say, better than Alfred Pockingstick ! Hehe. You really outdid yourself in this one !
Congrats man, you might win !
Keep up the good work.
