El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lil' Bunny Fuzzy V1.0]

ok, you got me

The practivcal joke aspect of this is admittedly pretty good, you sit through like a full minute or two of opening credits, and then BAM the end, he single drawing and animation were ok, as a flash this was not the best, but I give it this score due to the fact that I just got beaten by some text on a screen.

[Bank robbery]

ummmm

it was okay in terms of drawing and the joke, the animation was decent too, but overall, it was way too short, but then again in all fairness, the gag wouldn't have worked as well if the buildup was too long.

[Will I Ever Be...]

hmmm

I like the artistic nature with which you drew this falsh, it was however very short, and did not involve much animation. It had a cool somber feel to it, and the fact that the only thing that had color was the red blood was a good directorial choice on your part.

[Taco Bell dog]

ehhhh

The cutout picture for the head gives a poor visual effect especially when coupled with the quickly drawn body and the overall lazy nature with which this flash was made, good choice of music, but it loops, at least it wasn't that overused I ran over the taco bell dog song.

[Zapbots vrs Southpark]

hahheheh

I enjoyed that, I really wish it had voice rather than text though. The drawings were okay, but looked flat and some of the animation could have been better but overall you did a good job and had a good sense of humor here as well, I love southpark, but the scenes with the deaths was just hilarious, nice 80's photofinish ending as well.

botimus responds:

Thanks, unfortunately back in 2000 I didn't have anyone to do the voices so it is what I could do at the time, with my talent.

[Why Him?]

Hmmm

It as far too short, but in all fairness, I do not know the purpose behind this flash and maybe it was simple meaqnt as a tribute to a friend you had lost, in which case I don't think I have any right to review it at all, if it was just a story, it could have used a bit more length and animation, drawings were good as is though.

[No-one world - Trailer]

ehhh

Nice buildup, but this was not a very effective trailer, the story looked like it might have turned out to be interesting though, but more effort would be needed on the trailer in terms of length, a title screen, and possibly a release date.

[Chance Meetings]

hahahhah

I can now see that you have such good comic strip style because your'e a comic artist as well as a cartoonist, this was a seriously funny story, and the drawings and layout were good. The ending also had me cracking up, because you could tell what would happen after that, oh also, before I forget, the policeman was pretty well done too, just seeing the imposing chest gave a good amount of character to a character with no face, so I thought that was pretty good. It could have used music, but at the same time that's not really too necessary for a webcomic I guess.

[Virgil #1 Blue Skies]

Nice

Great start for your signature character, first off, let me say nice opening scene it had me glud to it from the moment it started, I like the classic comic strip style of the character design here, and The immense detail that went into all of the scenes, also, good job incorporating elements from various games and movies while still fully maintaining this flashes originality and uniqueness, I am impressed sir, not only by how prolific you are, but also at the quality that seems to go into each of your animations.

[Pilgrim]

heh

Ended a bit more abruptly than I would have expected. Character design in this one was not as good as it couls have been for the main character, the othe person had god character to him, bu tthe design was still pretty simple but not bad, great work on the backgrounds, though, and all in all it was enjoyable.
