El-Syd's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Studio 3 logo]

nice logo

my only suggestion, is that you redraw it in flash after you import it, because, that way it wont have that pixelly look and it will be bitmap based so the lines will stay smooth as it moves, not that it's that bad in that area right, now, it would just look a bit more professional. Nice design and coloring of the various elements as well.

[The Killing Bean vs. Pika]

pretty good

definitely a lot better than the other killing pikachu flashes which all seemed to come out around this time, the repetitve voice track got a bit annoying, but I guess that added to the reason he was killed, good work on the bean design, it could have used some color though, but all in all this was a fun flash to watch, even if a bit short.

[pimpin aint easy]

hmmm

drawings were simple, but fit their purpose pretty well, you should have fbf'd the turnaround of the kid rather than doin the flip which shows 2 dimentionality, there could have been more detail facewise, but it didn't really bother me too much. The pacing of this could have been a little faster, but all in all you have an ok flash.

[Do You Believe??]

not bad

reminded me a bit of soutpark, both in visual design and theme, there was a part after the beginning conversation that seemed to go by a bit slow ar dragged out but aside from pacing, I think you did pretty well, the voicework was pretty good here too..

[Stick It]

well

I can tell you had fun making this, but it really isn't enough, I have nothing against sticks, but if you are going with something so simple as a stick figure, the least you could do is animate it smoothly and maybe give it a little more bendiness rather that just straight lines.

[I hate Whazzup!!!]

hehheh

short but sweet, I feel the same way, you have good comedic timing here, and for such a short flash I think you got your point across very well without it being too drawn out timewise.

[Pikachu's Death]

coulda been better

considering the concept, this had the potential to be funny, but it just wasn't, the drawings were actually ok, but the animation really left a lot to be desired the voicework was not too great either.

[Stabbed To Death]

well...

I don't get it, yeah random violence can be fun, but there was no backstory or anything to make it interesting, it was poorly drawn, there was no sound and animation could have been better as well. Sound is definitely part of THE BARE MINIMUM, and all in all this wasn't really amusing.

[MY EX-GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!]

hmm

2 points for the song I guess, but this was a poor attempt at a "get back" flash, only one moving part and repetitive looping, based on this flash, I would gues that she had the last laugh.
