mmankt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[1 - The Story of Khale]

hm.. hm.. hm..

Since i ve seen the trailer i ve been very excited about your work. After this long time and barely forgetting it, u ve submitted the 1st episode. i thought : "wow at last, another flash to beat"(;)) and i watched it. and after few days-again.. so how its like.. umm the backgrounds..beautiful, similar to Adam P.'s, nice music, fluid animation.. but this movie is about nothing..not what ive expected.. just another "firework" for viewers..im waiting with my fingers crossed for the REAL episode!! i think that "4" is fair enough-just to encourage u for better work :)

[Death's Curtain Ep.01]

okey this is going to be though..

Im a bit confused while writing this comment. When you watch this movie U have some nice impressions, but after its end..i thought.."naaa..wtf.." Until the scene when Michael was captured the movie kept its climate. Then u wasted it.. Also sounds need to be better cuz those u've used are shitty and old..remember that in part2 u should use music ALL THE TIME, then the whole feel will be better. moreover the movie lacks in subtitles and better character animations. All the graphics and backgrounds are great, however better compression would be nice. This movie of yours can be the one of the greatest things on NG..so work hard and make it better!!!

SickDeathFiend responds:

of your review that I understand, I disagree.

[Road to Victory: Teaser]

Looked promising..

with first few slides(after totally unnecessary speech) , but when it came to animate and draw characters it turned horrible.. Ugly faces, bodies etc. However glow effect and water looks very nice. Ive spotted some nice details such as sand being moved by dead body and that counts.. Bullet holes, wounds and sparks were poor. U need to make a big flash and lots of sparks flying over the screen( watch my movie for example) etc. Sound is also neat.. get FEAR COMBAT and Enemy Territory and export sounds from that games(thank God u had Garand's jumping clip sound)
I know that u worked hard on it and it is unpleasant to read such words but u have to try harder my friend and dont make same shots from Saving Private Ryan or other popular WW2 movies. Good luck!!

Falco-09 responds:

Yeah, i know the graphics pretty much sucked, i agree with you. I need to improve that.

But i guess we all need to start somehow, i don't know why almost anyone says that working with a mouse is a pain in the arse, it is, at least for me :P.

Thanks for the review mate, it was very helpful.

[Dream star fight!]

this music..

..damn it where did u get that shit from.. ithis musis destroyed whole feel of this nice movie. However, everything was done very well, but it could have been better.

[Real Tournament ep.1]

i hate sprites

using sprites to create whole movie is patetic.

[Mother of all Blams]

haha..

..good point Poke-Dude ;) the movie is hmm..hard to say.. good and bad aswell. You've mixed quite realistic photoshop textures with worse quality drawings which brought a big contrast. Faces of the characters are awful..however, it was quite nice to watch.
6 for the gfx-as I said earlier; 6 for the style-mix of PS and bad drawings(faces!) sound: 7- nice music , violece-"mild" lol, but where?(0)
Interactivity-1 for the play button;) and 1 for humor cuz "the stolen submission" looked funny. try harder next time. cheers

[Madness Antipathy]

still owns

God damn you really know how to make a killing fun, this movie is great with all its small details to spot. however, parts 4 and 5 were much better. cheers! looking forward for next ep.

[Normandy: PtV Preview]

errr...

So where's the animation? Except bulletby effects and moving fingers and closing eyes? I hope that in the proper movie there will be at least some movment anims. ? Good drawings, but somehow i dont like the colours.. Anyways i'd like to see the whole movie.

HeNe responds:

Hope you read this, but whatever. I really hope that you review whole movie too. Yeah, the colours. Maybe too shinys? I try to put real animation on the movie next time. Thanks for your review mmankt!
