making-fiends's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Very Funny

i first watched this at around 4 in the morning so anything prolly would have made me laugh. but overall very funny, i keep getting a full screen pop up so i'm making this review short. Congratz on #1 for so long, but i'm gonna with hold my 5 today, and give it a 4 maybe try and bring it to #5 =/

[667 Trailer]

thanx to your "trace bitmap" for the nice graphix

come on, it was all just pics that were traced bit mapped, that's just boring and in the intro the part where "an ex detective has to ask help to the same criminals he swear to put behind bars"

it's "an ex dectevive has to ask FOR help FROM the same criminals he SWORE to put behind bars

Erikcq responds:

Trace bitmap makes anything look great.
Sorry about that... I'm from Argentina.

[Click Me]

Rip Off of Worlds most annoying page (w/e it was)

except that was better because you couldn't get out of it without getting to the end.

unoriginal/ not funny

[weekly noobs(2)2/15/05]

how does this have a 1.9 ....

i just don't understand... it's so bad, nothing was good about it; ugh blows my mind

[The Fear's Shape]

looked life some klunky rigs...

considering you modeled and rigged in a weekend not bad =P, swift is a pain to animate in better than maya for modeling though... nice basic but effective lighting kudos for that. creep factor was a little low but you know i'm looking at a computer so nothing is ever THAT creapy

good work

p.s did you retrace once imported into flash or just exported as a swf?

Wlopes responds:

good, I exported I eat swft.t3d, later I mattered for the flash, and there I made the Obliged.

assembly for the commentary

[Primal War 04]

Here We Go Again...

well the sound really took away from the expierence, the lack of music, then bad music, then just annoying sound effects, then finally the lack of dialogue between White Asassin (or w/e) and the wizzard took me out of the piece and made me feel like i was watching something that was just, well random and not thought out. If it wasn't for the shitty sound you'd have gotten my 5/5 and probably done well in all time scores. Time for the break down.

Graphics: fenominal the depth of shading in the cliffs and rocks towards the begginning spectacular, it shows you really wanted to take your time and make every aspect of the movie up to your graphic wise expectations. The character animation i love, so life like yet cartoony, perfect blend of the two, hits that nice sweet spot most flashes can only dream of getting.

Style: Your style is pretty run of the mill, but you take it to the next level, rather than just another fighting thing you bring small amounts of depth to your story. One complaint i have is that it feels like you don't know what you want to happen untill you get to each episode, plot the series out then mold everything around that, believe me you'll be glad you did. Your animation is very unique in the fact you don't see to many gorillas and dinos on new grounds

Sound: your won fatal flaw, the sound was shit i almost muted it halfway through the is it matrix song, and the corny sound effects didn't help either, spend some time on your sound design and your good to go.

Violence: ya they fought there was blood, but i didn't feel there was meaning behind it, it all felt pretty senseless.

Interactivity... was there even a play button

Overall: good effort can't say it's my fave. of this series but it still was great

[Time Squad [Part 1]]

Much better graphics but...

the humor is a little dry, it felt for lack of better words bland and stupid.... before i get into that this block head showed a great step forward for you.

graphically wise this was much more profesional and i do applaud you for that. The greatest advancement in my mind was the lack of trace bitmapped houses (yay i bitched about that in some of my other reviews on blockhead) i felt the animation was a little jumpy but i'm on an old laptop right now, so i won't dock you anything as i'm sure it ran smooth, you've never had problems with that in the past... the black and white in the beginning helped the feel to the set up of the movie more than i think you could of planned on, i didn't realize it was blockhead till i saw him, shows i don't read your comments. the character animation itself seemed to really be elevated above mediocraty. good job hence the 10

Your style is very original and i really appreciate that, if i see one more r.a.b knock off or "tribute" i'm going to have to harm someone. the humor is very much it's own, can't say i love it, but it's original. Overall i feel this series and animation is very much it's own.

The humor in my eyes has become bland. It just feels like i'm watching someone with A.D.H.D without their medication, which is just a little sad. I will admit i see how some peoploe find this to be very commical, and i tried to change my mindset and just go along with it, which worked alot better. After looking at it i feel i just watched ATHF with just meatball and Karl. I think if you just fine tuned your jokes/punchlines this series is going to the top.

The voice acting was great i mean EXTRAORDINARY. it blew me out of the water, how well everybody's voice fit with their character. although blockheads imaginary roomate guy reminds me alot of Karl from ATHF, must really be inspired from him but you pulled it off. Blockheads voice is great, it's comedy in itself and it gives off that idiotic comical dumb that isn't annoying.

Overall i think this was a great step for Block head and i hope to see more of your work in the future. this time i can say that without a shadow of a doubt congratz

9/10; 4/5
