lenkalamari's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Pirate Collab]

Twas alright.

Felt a bit disjointed in parts but overall a nice effort, for 5 months there's not THAT much from each author though. Much better than most 'music video collabs' where people either a) have their fancharacter miming along to the words, b) have a literal representation of the lyrics or c) having something completely random and disconnected going on.

Still, you're all pretty young and way better at flash than I was at that time lol. So stick at it

Bertn responds:

Thanks for the review...

[Metal Gear: Cheater]

Heh, it was alright

Constantly moving around is always a plus, but to be honest the 'random component in a video game stops time' joke's been going since like forever. Still you executed it alright, could have done with more on-model characters (snake's a tough dude, he doesn't have massive eyes man : ) )

Shadowii2 responds:

Yep, but for Metal Gear I have never seen a parody about it before, at least not in Flash form. And heh, I know Snake doesn't have that big eyes, it's just my style of drawing things as my style is little adapted with anime-ish parts.

Oh well, thanks for your opinions!

[The Child That Smelt Odd]

Haha yeah man

This has always been my fave movie of yours, I just love the whole 'what if we banned everything' premise. And the yorkshire accents lol. There's one bit that makes me laugh every time and it's the bit where they're talking about Bono. probably your best work overall I'd say

[Whats That Sound?]

what

No front page? no awards? Christ newgrounds does my head in sometimes. This was really enjoyable despite the incoherent story...I think most were looking for something funny when this is more surreal. nice backgrounds.

[How Are You Now?]

Nice.

A bit predictable but really sweet, reminded me a little of grave of the fireflies. Really nice masking effect you used too!

[Nintendo Power]

Nice concept

Much more inventive than most video game tributes here and in synced with the music well!

thing is a lot of the animation was very choppy and seemed a bit lazy, and some of the characters were really off-model (sonic comes to mind). pretty cute though

[NSMB Episode 1]

sorry dude.

I dunno man, this just seems a little pointless. Nearly everything is lifted from Mario Bros Z, the fighting style, the plot, the way everything moves, hell even the blur filters and the way you navigate through the movie via the spacebar. Hell, the only change seems to be that you replaced the robot sonic thing with the water monster from Sonic Adventure.

I just don't get the point of making something to similar that A) already exists and B) wasn't even that good anyways.

You're actually pretty good with Flash, it'd be really cool to see something a bit more original even if you were using sprites as a 'springboard'.

TaloOfOz responds:

yeah tnx i'm thinking to do more music videos than NSMB series or (SMBZ copy)

[TMNT: REBEL 6]

I LOVE YOU GUYS

"I have a glass of milk. But I forgotta milk."

Just....oh god. It's just so ridiculous. The facial expressions are priceless and I like all the little details you throw it. Really re-watchable.

[TMNT: REBEL 5]

hahaa oh god

That was just...wow.

[Crows' Life Episode 3]

mixed bag, but mostly good

You guys can really animate. I mean, really, the quality on this is fucking great! Nice varied character designs and a pretty refreshing/clever premise (crows versus giant scarecrow). And the animation is smooth, detailed and never lets up.

But there's this feeling that you can't decide where to go with this series. It's like its stuck between wacky stupid hijicks with over-the-top characters and general action comedy spoofage, kinda like the Rebel series is stuck between parody and improvised comedy.

It just feels a bit unfocused if you get me. Also, the english voice actors (especially for Octavio) come off like they're trying a bit too hard, but they work and have good sound quality.

But still, its good to see something thats genuinely suitable for anyone but can still interest others, and the direction was ACE. You've put six months to good use guys!

Toonimated responds:

thnx, yea, the plot in this episode is a bit lacking. I just couldn't animate the whole idea I had for the episode, it would've been too much for me to handle. Think of it like half an episode actually. So keep an eye...in 6 months or more XD
