Luke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's Christmas]

This was comfy. Love the art style. Nice job.

Happy 20th birthday love you forever.

[Captain Tardigrade]

Good work on this, great main character, original concept and wonderful humour. It would be good to see more of this.

[Ninja Action - 2]

Perhaps a bit too soon for a sequel, but Ninja Action is a nice treat for Newgrounds.

It's been a long time since we have been treated with a unique combat flash, time and time again Newgrounds has submissions of stick fights, Madness Combat parodies and tributes, Thing-Thing as well. It is not only nice to have something new thrown our way, but also something with as much effort put into it as Ninja Action.

The animation is precise, the frame rate is smooth, and Ninja Action is one hell of a ride.

However, it does have flaws. Perhaps there are too many skits with the little girl, or in this episode in particular, the cat as well. Sometimes humour is nice, and I love a good laugh or smile during a flash, but sometimes too much is just that, too much. It would be neat to see a part with the little girl maybe once an episode, but three or four times is kind of pushing it, aside from that, everything is fantastic.

Keep up the good work, maybe hold off a bit on submitting the next episode so soon, I know the first episode took a number of years for you to create, and the attention and hype of the series (I do imagine this is going to be a series) is probably not only exciting for you as the author, but breathtaking as well. I can understand wanting to submit it in a hurry, but hold off a bit on episode three, that would be my advice. I read that it is already finished, and that is awesome, I look forward to watching it, but build up some hype first, make us wait a bit, and perhaps the audience might appreciate the flash even more.

Great thing you have going here, looking forward to more.

[Madness Heist]

This is really great.

You have just about everything covered for a flash like this, the quality, voices, and everything are very great and so far this is easily my favourite madness day flash.

However, it would be really great to have a pause button, rather than just the option to skip between chapters and head back to the main menu.

Just a suggestion, considering it is a long flash it only makes sense, absolutely loved it besides that.

Great work!

[Madness Bloody Collab]

Well it's okay...

The animation is honestly pretty smooth, there are no issues there.

The problem is the fact that it has been done before, many many times. I am not trying to say don't ever do it because it isn't original - But I am trying to say that because it's been done so many times before you really need to step it up a notch to compete with the rest of them. And to do that, you need to work on it a little more I would say, or quite a bit more.

The major issue is the fact that it was so short, it only seemed to be maybe 2-3 minutes. That was a let down considering the other Madness Collaborations were so long, some pushing 10-15 minutes. That is something that was excellent.

The quality wasn't too great, it seemed some of them were too pixelized, besides that minor thing though the REAL issue I had with this was the sounds were not synchronized properly with the animation, a gun would fire off and a second later the sound would play for it.

That really kind of kills it, nobody really likes watching a real movie at the theater and having the sound messed up, the same goes for in flash animations.

Regardless, it is good enough to pass and it has my vote, just needs to be touched up a bit and have more added.

[Ice Cream Van]

Interesting...

Honestly, I want to be as fair as I can right now. I was entertained by this even though it was a poor quality flash.

The art wasn't good by any means, but it was interesting. The sound quality of the voice acting was not good, but it made the flash what it was.

At first it seemed like just another poorly done flash, but then near the end it got really creepy. I won't say anything to spoil it, but after the ending I kind of understood what was going on. Even though it was still a, "What the fuck" kind of thing.

It was cool, and because of that I enjoyed it. Unique.

[Autonomous Propagandist 1 "Not a Robot"]

Wow!

Brilliant. I saw the file size but didn't expect it to be nearly as long as it is.

The art is quite great, nothing spectacular mind you - But everything else makes up for it.

I love the music and whole idea of the flash, but have a question. Where did the music come from? Is it from an artist you used the music from? Or did you make it yourself for this flash?

Voice acting is pretty good, doesn't sound like it was done with a cheap poor quality microphone so that is always a bonus.

Anyway, great experience watching this and definitely the best I have seen so far on Robot Day 2011. I look forward to the next ones.

[Frat Bots]

Quite funny

Surprisingly, I liked the detailed descriptions of what they meant but at the same time it was hard to read it all before it disappeared. Also the Bot Marley was a bit too difficult to understand, art was great though. Funny concept, minus those two minor issues it was a good first view for Robot Day.

Teedly responds:

Thanks! Appreciated and I agree the text is helpful, but does contradict itself.

[Facebook Girl]

Hmmm...

I give you 5 stars, because it is realistic.

I didn't find any of it to be funny, to be completely honest... It is a huge problem on Facebook that most of us know about, but as a flash animation it wasn't funny at all, and then it seemed that you tried to start being too funny with it, with statuses like "farted a little" and stuff like that... Just wasn't funny to me.

Art wasn't terrible, your little drawings of the girl were neat, having the Newgrounders as the friends list, and Newgrounds ads on the side was pretty nifty as well.
Besides those positive things, I can't find anything good about this flash.

2/5 - 5/10

Can't make everyone happy.
