SS4FlameAlchemist's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[super mario zx ep1]

Not bad. First, you really need someone to look over your script. Your grammar was REALLY bad. That was one of the biggest problems. And the story just sort of exploded into existance. All the villains pretty much new what the stars were and what they did even though they were obviously not familiar with them. That, and it's just another SMBZ wannabe.

[Megaman X :Nighmares]

not gonna lie, it's pretty bad. But with a little work, you could do well. Nightmare Zero is one of my favorite villains and a series like this looks interesting.

1. The characters are far too small. You need to resize the characters to match the backgrounds you used.
2. Mixing handdrawn effects and sprited effects looks horrible. Try to stick to sprited effects
3. The text boxes are too small and disappear too fast. They also look horrible. Since it's megaman x, they should be at the bottom of the screen or top to fit the style. This was the biggest problem with the movie.
4. Be careful mixing styles of sprites. You have to have an eye for it. I hope there's a purpose for the Megaman Zero sprites being there. Usually style mixing is okay sometimes if you know how to mix the styles right.
5. The movement is horrible. It's extremely choppy and unnatural.
6. The story needs work. People seemed to randomly show up, with no explanation. "dr. light brought me back"? That was awful attempt and explaining. try to put some real thought into it. try to use some plot to develop the characters.

Fix this stuff and you could make this series pretty awesome. I will be watching you.

well this was made before i actually had flash. i made it in artoonix so yea the sprite ing and all those other extra things i can add in flash....i cant do it so yea. i got a flash trial now but i dont know how to do shit in it and no ones willing to help me out. so its slow progression. but thanks for the advice much appreciated for fututre flashes. :D

[SSBM Crazy Hand vs Samus]

Well, first and foremost, get a preloader. They are not hard to put in a flash. No matter how short the flash is, nobody likes a white screen waiting for it to load. You can easily get them from the downloads section.
Second, there was way too much standing around for samus. At the beginning she was moving around too much, then she stopped moving for half a minute when she should have been sniping crazy hand. And what was wrong with using Zero mission/super metroid sprites or using metroid fusion samus? Any particular reason you picked a custom sprite that seemed to have limited poses?
Anyway, the actual fighting seems okay, you just have to work on movement mostly.

[Metroid Sprite Animation]

Not bad for a first flash. However, in the future, try to stick to one style. mixing noncolor sprites with color sprites makes things look a bit awkward along with the fact you mixed bittages which never blends well unless you are REALLY talented and have an eye for it. you could have easily made the entire flash in Zero mission/super metroid style. Just keep that in mind. The only other thing I saw that needed a little touchup was the jump. There was just points where the jump paused at the apex of hte jump and just doesn't look natural even for a freeze frame firing at the enemy shot. Fix those things and you should be okay. Nice first animation though. Better than mine.

[TOME Traveler's Guide]

*sigh* Kinda sad this game doesn't exist in real life. I wish we had virtual reality like this. Now i'm depressed. we probably won't get anything like this for a LOOOOOONG time.

On the positive side though. This pretty much shows how well you've set up the story. The story in episode 1,2, and 3 pretty much explained most of this through the storyline. Although this was a bit helpful in explaining stuff. Seeing it this way makes a lot more sense than just the way the episodes explained it.

[TOME Episode 04]

That was awesome as always. Keep up the good work.

[Teenage Mutant Turtles]

Not going to lie. That was stupid as hell. But, you did do a decent job with the animation, so you won't get a 0. The jokes were stale, and there was no point to this at all.

Jae responds:

Awwww maan bummerrrrr!!! :D

[Sonic 15th 4 'Trailer']

This is going to be awesome. i can't wait.

RicPendragon responds:

Thanks, I know this isn't much now, but if you liked the original trilogy, I'm going to hope you like part 4.

[Troll Samus]

not bad, but you need a preloader. Otherwise the movie has to play as it loads and that causes a lot of skipping and freezing up. They take almost no effort, you can find them in the downloads section

[Dragon Ball Multiverse 1]

You sir, have made my life complete. I always wanted to see some what if battles.
