El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Ninja Returns]

Pointless

sorry for such a low score, but it's the result of a low amount of effort, the graphics weren't terrible, but they were far from being good, the animation itself had some merit, but a lot of the movements looked unnatural and stiff. and the thing only lasted a few seconds and had no story, plus if he's supposed to be a nija why's he just walking around in broad daylight?

[ride]

hmmm

pretty cool actually, random to the point of nearly being surreal, veryartistic start, and once the cat jumped at the end it was okay, but the bit with the poorly animated man with the vacuum dancing around just looked cheesy and detracted from the overall artistic quality of the flash.

[Dame-sama v. Warui-sensei]

cool

On the surface its a decent flash, Nice drawings and such and ok sound effects, the animation could use some work though, what did impress me though was the fact that the outcome of the fight was random, which was pretty cool, and gave it a bit of replay value.

[Pink Floyd in Concert!]

hmmmm

Pink floyd was an awesome band, bit this was not a very fitting tribute, yeah it gave the sensation of being in the back of the concert hall or whatever, but it lacked the detail and enthusiasm that would have made it entertaining.

[Interaction of Shapes]

hmmm

it was alright, and actually a pretty original idea at the time, but really it seems a bit too simple for my tastes, it's good for what it is though. and it was okay as far as this sort of movie goes, don't feel bad though, very few peole can pull off abstract flash.

[Golden Palominos-Victim]

goddamn

That was good. It's hard to believe that was your first and only entry, it's so good, The narration was excellent and the visuals were well drawn and paced at a good rate to keep the tone nice and disturbing, sends some chills up my spine.

[Trampoline]

heh

Brings back some childhood memories, but the drawings in this are not too good. The animation is actually all right, and you did a decent job with the stretchnig effect on the bottom of the trampoline.

[Fun with a Microwave]

cool

Nice little collection of shorts here and very creative using the microwaves own buttons as menu keys to select the animations, I know they were all short, but they were well drawn and animated and I found them genuinely amusing, so I think this deserves at least a 9.

[what's the difference???]

Ok...?

I understand you were upset or whatever, but you did a good job of accomplishing your goal, and that's true whether your goal was to create a movie as you said worthy of a zero, since that's what you were getting from people, or apparently, if your goal was to use reverse psychology to get weaker minded individuals to inadvertently vote this high. Either way zero effort went into the visuals in this which was admitted by you in the flash itself, so I will hereby satisfy your first and more obvious goal, you asked for it and earned it.

[KKK: In Effect]

Nice

The drawings are ok, but could be better, and the animation is kinda lacking, but who can really complain about horrible hateful bigots being assassinated, (besdes the bigots themselves I guess) nice short here, didn't last long but fun while it lasted.
