AloneInTheDark's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Betrayal DVD]

quite original

Well u certainly have a rich fantasy, how else could u make such an abstract movie like this one. Not that it was bad, but i just didnt find it very interesting. The lil blind lizards fighting with each other, being eaten by others and then traveling through another place in a ray of light were kinda odd. Do they symbolize the way u imagine the end of life itself? Neway, i think a subject like this could have been done better and more touching by using other kind of creatures or maybe humans in another environment. But ofcourse this is ur personal fantasy and it cant possibly be right or wrong. Also the fact that u made this movie in 3 days was pretty impressive so the result is not bad at all.

very cute

Hey not bad, not bad. Although this flash has the storytelling and dialogue like its been made by a 14 year old (eh.....oops, u are a 14 year old) u animated the action sequences very nicely. There were some faults in the movie like the edgy graphics and the ugly preloader/next button that stopped me from giving this movie a point higher, but i was very entertained at the end. No wannabe emotional lovestory or deep character evolution, just good ol plain action at fast pace. I see a bright flash future lying ahead of u, young padawan.

[KOROSU- the black samurai]

meh

The action wasnt spectacular, the story supercliche and the lipsync and sound need much more improvement. It reminds me of a very bad ninja movie from the 80's with lines like: 'Oh you killed my family and now you will pay!' (lips still moving 5 seconds later). Very annoying that u didnt even create the final fight and simply dealt with it in a 'to be continued' way. But hey, it got some violence, a cheap trance song and ninjas, so the kids on newgrounds will be pleased.

[Sounds Of Thunder]

incredible

Very nice flash movie! U animated it nicely and the choice of sound went very good with the flash. This flash stands out because it has a mature way of storytelling and an eye for detail. This simply couldnt have been made by a young kid with not much experience in life. Although i wasnt really moved by the suicide of the girl, i was still deeply impressed by the story as a whole. The effects u used were also cool and original, like the credits appearing in the intro and the coin the gentleman threw up in the club. Id really like to see more flash creations from ur hand, because without a doubt u are talented.

[Hostage Situation 2]

very good

U managed to create a very good and fast flash swat movie with the typical swat stress feel that comes with it. The graphics and animation were superb and it all felt very realistic. U implented some original and cool camera movements that i havent seen in a flash before. Too bad the movie was without surprises, it was all pretty standard. But at least u did a good job at doing a working concept than a bad job at innovating a new one ;) I was laughing my ass off at the end when the swat agent came to the bomb and asked red or blue and i didnt realise i had to pick a wire untill it went off lol. Anyway, very nice job and keep up the good work.

PS: dont ever dare to quote a full metal jacket movie and spell the director wrong! its StaNley Kubrick ;) But im sure it was just a typo

[The Return of Ganondorf]

muhahahaha!

Extremely good parody of an awesome video game! U really did a good job creating and animating the characters but what made this movie so amazing were the brilliant jokes and dialogue. It is very hard to make a funny flash movie with good graphics too (at least in my opinion) but u did it! hail legendary frog!

[Fantastic Realm Chapter 1]

woa!

Amazing job! I bet u were heavily inspired by the first part of the lord of the rings movies when u made this. The graphics and animation are one of the best and so is the sound and dialogue. The only minus is that there doesnt really happen much, but thats ok cause u obviously chose to make a big evolving storyline. I cant wait till the rest is finished...

[NG Tournament: Qtr-finals]

not too shabby

U did a nice job with this movie, unfortunately something like this was already done before (and better) by secretagentbob with his battle for the portal. I also felt like u put all ur energy in the first and last fight and was kinda rushing through the second and third. The humor was ok but the graphics were the strongest point of ur movie.

[kenya]

lol

Ur movies rock, somehow u have to watch them 5 times before u close the window. Do u compose the music urself for these movies? I saw ur other work and they all have the same superb quality music in common. This is the kinda shit that u want to see on a big screen on the wall in a trendy club or something.
