El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Day With Promethius]

heh

I loove your sketchy drawing style, the animation is not the best, but I see a lot of potential here, I do have to say that the opening screen took way too long for how short the flash was, (the title page not hte loading), but the joke was funny about how that's pretty much all life was back then.

[Death Takes a Walk]

hmmm

Not very wel done, but good voicework, and for a reason which I can't for the life of me describe I actually like that one a lot, and enjoyed watching it, the graphics are all cutouts and he kinda just slid around but still there's some quality here that makes this a decent flash.

[Nuts]

hmmm

Nice parody, good, joke, but very bad flash, the drawings were lazy the animation was poorly done and as a result it has no rewatch valu to it, which is an important consideration in these movies.

[BUY The Amazing Stuff]

heheh

so random, but well done visually, the drawing are nice and the animation could have more movement, but it was not bad, nice character designs also, and the flash was pretty funny to watch. Looking forward to more.

[MyPhilosophicalQuestion1]

First off...

Nice music man, it is perfect for the background music in this as it is calming and lets you focus without an overly busy melody, Obviosly though I'm not giving you an eight for music alone, and DEFINITELY not for your drawings or animation, but the question you pose is an interesting one, and I very mnuch agree, my only point of note would be that regardless of the connectivity of the origins of things, we all coexist, man animals, plants, the earth itself, and so on, and to deny the implicit connections between these things would be philoosohical blindness. All things are connected, what affects another may affect you too, and the karmic circle of events is more of a complex scientific formula about the intricate and diverse effect one can have on their world and as a result on themselves than it is a thoelogical view. Great flash, sorry for the long response, but I rarely get the chance to have intellectual conversation anymore, so it was nice.

Ye I'm glad you like the music, I shall be making more :P but the animations were pretty poor I would agree. I kinda just put it together to see what people would think of it and most people seem pleased to see something like this so I will put a lot more effort into the next question that I pose.

Ye I pretty much agree with everything you said there, its all based on balancing the equation. If my mathematics was better maybe I would have been able to pose a theory but that's why I posted this to see what people with skills different to mine would be able to put forward or debate, regarding the theory :D

[This News Just in]

hmmm

nice commentary, probably the most interesting stop making bad flashes flash ive seen, also nice use using a video except of one of the shitty ones, but in all fairness this flash itself is also not too well done.

[Harry Potter Sucks!]

boring,

the drawings were poor, the lipsynching didn't match up at all, and it had an overall lazily done look to it. I can see you kind of thought the story out ahead of time, but it wasn't carried out as well as it could have been.

[Violent Youth]

sorry

this just wasn't very good, the only animation was a guy moving up and down, and the background scrolling over, which really just doesn't cut it as a flash, and no none of those things are reasons why someone should become a killer, it's just shit that everyone has to deal with, and killing cannot be excused by things like this.

[The Matrix Part 1]

g'damn

The drawings in this are 5 year old quality, and I'm not talking about an artistic five year old either, you say in the authors comments that you were 14 when you made this, but it really doesn't look like very much effort or though went into this, and 14 is an age where you should at least be able to draw so don't try to use it as an excuse. if something is good it's good, I've actually seen professional grade flashes from some 13 and 14 year old on this site, and they all put good effort in.

[Darth Vader Ebonics]

wow

This must be like the 5th time someone has used this audio for a flash, and although it's not as annoying as the wazzup stuff, it still shows a definite lack of originality, and effort.
