ShortMonkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hammer Robot]

{{{ NICE }}}

~+~REVIEW~+~
That was pretty funny. Very smooth and with lots of effort. The robot was drawn really nicely, the graphics were pretty good. I knew what was going to happen as soon as he clicked the button. If it had a background it would've been totally awesome!

~+~POSITIVE POINTS~+~
1. The robot was nicely animated.
2. Very smooth animation how the guy looks around before pressing the button.

~+~NEGATIVE POINTS~+~
1. Needs a background.
2. The menu could've been a little better.

[The Knight and The Shadow]

{{{ PRETTY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
That was pretty good, smooth. I think it could've been better if it was a little quicker, coz fighting with swords isn't usually that slow (I know, I've been fencing (french sword fighting) for 3 years). I like the cool graphic effects you used. And the swords were pretty cool. I'm not going to flame you for making something like a Madness flash coz they have no arms or legs, coz the animation overall, was pretty good.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. Graphics were cool.
2. Smooth animation.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. It was smooth, but a bit slow. Maybe the FPS could've been 30 instead of 24 or lower. 30 is best for fighting movies.

[Adulthood]

{{{ REALLY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
The graphics were great, good idea too. It was pretty funny, but the sound quality wasn't that good. That was still a great animation, I just think you need to work on smoothing your animation though. And when he cuts his hair, maybe you can work on making it so on a frame, it has a line there and part is cut off. They're the small things which can get high scores.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. Graphics were good.
2. Good idea.
3. It was kinda funny.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. When they moved they're bodies, it wasn't that smooth.
2. The sound quality was pretty bad.

[A Nogfish Short #1]

{{{ PRETTY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
That was awesome, good graphics, apart from the explosions and the thing with the hammer smashing PIKACHU!!! YAY!! I remember I used to love Pokemon. The lyp synching was good too. Good work!

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. Most graphics were pretty good.
2. Lyp synching was good.
3. It was funny.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. I'd rather have animated explosions more than sprite explosions, and same with the hammer guy.

Nogfish responds:

Thank you for such an in-detail review!

As for the "hammer guy," that is really what MissingNo. looks like... lol

I thought that the explosion added a little something to the piece, but I'll animate it next time...

[The Legend Of Zelda Ep. 1]

{{{ NICE }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
It was pretty good, I think you should draw some shadows on the characters, and the backgrounds needed serious improvement. I think you did pretty well. Good job.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. It was pretty funny.
2. Enjoyable to watch.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. Backgrounds were awful.
2. Sound wasn't that good, you can change that by going into File>Publish Settings>Flash>and you can change the audio setting, don't make it too high or your flash will come out too big.

[DBDR The Trailer]

{{{ PRETTY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
That was a nice sprite, I liked the effects. The music fitted nicely too. I think this is better as a trailer, not a movie lol. Good job.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. Cool effects, even tho it was sprites.
2. Good choice of music.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. Some parts didn't make much sense.

[nameless stabby film]

{{{ PRETTY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
It was pretty sweet, short, and violent. The graphics could've used some shadows over their bodies than just the same colour tho. Good job. Short and sweet.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. Graphics were nice.
2. Short and sweet.
3. Violent.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. It was a bit short.

[***RICHSIMMONSISONFIRE***]

{{{ NOT VERY GOOD }}}

~$~REVIEW~$~
It was pretty boring. I'm sick of hearing that music, but no offence to you for using it. It needed something more than someone on fire then fire shows everywhere. Not a very good job.

~$~POSITIVE POINTS~$~
1. The fire graphics were good.

~$~NEGATIVE POINTS~$~
1. It was boring.
