AloneInTheDark's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[weaponmaster pt.1]

pretty nice

So this is ur first submission to newgrounds? Well its pretty impressive. Although its a stickmovie it is well choreographed and the action is nicely fastpaced. It lacks in dialogue/story and originality though but thats ok, im sure u will work on that once u make more movies. Keep up the good work. Ciao

yep i liked it

Although some (including u) may think this is not original, it actually is. There arent alot of flash movies with this cool comic book based visual style. And nowadays u dont see western situation like this much more. The music was ok and added a little drama to the movie. It somehow felt like something tarantino would make, probably cause his recent movie kill bill 2 is also a tribute to western movies. Too bad u overdid the motiontweening a little bit and the characters were pretty much strangers. Some background bout their lifes would do the animation good.

well its original because there is only gun and boob crap on ng usually, so I'll admit this is slightly more stylish. But nonetheless, it sucked compared to what i wanted to do :/

omg, what is this i see?.......

A well thought out clock movie, containing dramatic cinematic moments, an original topic and awesome graphics? Before i saw this i thought this was impossible...

The clock crew can be damn proud they have u.

I would have given this a 10....

And this would have gone in my favorites, only i didnt like the end. What was it supposed to mean? It so didnt fit the mood. I think i can understand a little bit what u were trying to say but im not sure.
Anyway, superb movie. The closeups on the faces were so awesome, u could read their emotions even though the characters were drawn so simplistic. Your skill goes beyond flash. I think u are more a movie director as a flash artist. U are the best overall artist on newgrounds in my opinion (the Aura series has been one of my favorites since they first came out) and i really really am looking forward to see more of u. Greetings.

Hehe,

Pretty funny. Very amusing how u made a parody of the annoying i-just-cant-get-that-gay-smile-of-my-face-cause-iv-been-sho t-9-times wannabe 2pac, 50 cent. It was a lil bit too short though :( Short, but entertaining.

Thanks!

[AURORA - episode 3]

very interesting

Nice flash! Its always nice to see someone work out a story in a flash instead of just making 1 scene of pointles violence. Very cool u used michael jackson for ur flash. Many might think its corny, but it shows u have ur own style. The fight scenes were outstanding. Very realistic and u did an amazing job animating the kung fu moves. I really felt like the character was using the boxing 'jeet kune do' techniques instead of just fucking around. There were some minor things that i didnt like as much about ur movie. 1 was the in-flash music, it was mostly the same and for some scenes it didnt fit the mood very well. And 2 the storyline is maybe a little bit too predictable (from the first scene the guy rescued the girl and she said she was looking for her brother i could kinda tell he was it). Sometimes its better to not reveal the motives of people so obviously in dialogue but just let their actions/emotions speak for them. But u did an excellent job overall and this is much better than the average newgrounds movie

What made you think Zen was her brother? Because you are wrong LOL!

good!

I liked the first sketchy animation, it was really cool. Ur a great drawer. The storyline was a bit confusing, but i got it. It had a nice cinematic feel to it only i was dissapointed when the two men faced each other in the end and the entire duel was finished with 1 drawing. The second one was even more confusing and the style was different. I like the use of different styles, only u coulda put a little bit more detail in the backgrounds/characters/storyline. Overall not bad at all.

OK

U are very good with flash, nobody will doubt that. U can implement special effects well and ur visual style is very good, nobody will doubt that either. The problem is that this simply isnt a very interesting flash movie. Was it supposed to be funny? Well it surely wasnt that funny. Wether it is comedy, action, drama or horror, a storyteller has the ability to reach to the hearts of people and give them goosebumps. This simply wasnt very entertaining. Yeh sure the movie will get a high score because of its neat visual style and clear voice acting, but this isnt something u will remember tomorrow.

It had its moments...

Yep, ur movie had its moments. U have some talent, i can see that, although i didnt really think this was that impressive. The humor saved ur movie, but u really need to animate the characters more. They were just motion tweened from left to right. Other scenes were pretty kool like the race with the 2 cars and the scrolling background behind it. The music i didnt really like that much and the voices were below average. I think it was a little bit too short, so meh. Better luck on ur next one.

LAVAGASM responds:

thank you for your review, it was fbfed becuz I didnt know how to motion tween at the time I made this

[All American Girl]

nice musicvid

Ur drawing style is very clean and ur a great artist. The animation was left a little behind though but that's ok because the entire thing was fun to watch. I hope to see more things of u in the future

FemJesse responds:

Yea I'm new to animating, but I've been drawing all my life. Hopefully I'll get better at animation in the future. I think my fear is that the movies will get too huge if I do them all keyframe by keyframe.
