Evil-Dog's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Short Show: Port-o-potty]

Hmmm.....no

Many submissions like this ?
I implore you to reconsider (Kung pow haha)

I don't think people enjoy 15 seconds short movies. I dont. And what was the point ? Some guy come and push that...toilet...over ?

Nah...work longer on things that are actually funny, that make sense and that last at least 1 minute instead.

[Poninjas Episode Four]

Well done

I love your episodes man, so simple yet so effectivly entertaining. Congratulation :)

Here's my review...

Graphics : simple and pretty. For your next episode I suggest you put more shading to your characters as well as shadows (it will look so much cool :D simple shadows would do it)
Sparks when the metal weapons collide would also be nice. Ever thought about adding motion-blur ? blurred trails you know...during the slo-mo or during the speedy fights that would be up to you, would be a good eye-candy.
One last thing, you know that black blast area after the ninja gets electrocuted ? it should be two-toned, the part on the floor should be a little darker to actually make you feel that the blast is on the wall and the floor (Simple lighting realism). That's the kind of detail that gives a movie the right touch.

Sound : Awesome, fitting music and cool fighting sounds...not much to say here to make it better :)
oh yeah, the heartbeat sound during the slo-mo is hardly audible...

Interactivity : Nice modified NG preloader... longer episode could require something better with scene selection and all.

Style : A success, like the madness serie you know, simple characters, great action good job on that :) Longer episodes would definitly be a cool improvement, more complex fights and more complex levels too (with stairs, holes, etc)

Violence : Not much but I like your non-bloody style of it. I'm getting tired of the accumulation of blood in every action movies.

Humor : Not really funny, but really entertaining.

That's about it man.
I rarely review movies so intensivly, but I think you deserve such a detailed review. I hope my comment and suggestion will help.

Peace

Wow, ty very much for the comments! I'll keep in mind your idea for Episode Five and on. Yea, i didn't want to have to re-start the music after the heartbeat sound... you're right, tho, shoulda made it louder... oh well. Motion blur, aha nice idea! thnx agen,

[Dead Parents]

No...

No I don'T want to see someone masturbate his friend in front of his dead parent.

Have a better idea next time.

[TYRAN ep 3]

The 1st episode showed potential

but it seems that each episode gets cheaper.
Due to lack of effort and polishement.
Spend more time on each episode, make better (smoother) animations, take more time to draw the stuff...to unfold your plot in a better way...actually try to get better, not get worse...
There's no need to rush the episodes you know...we can wait for a good product. But a bunch of quickly made episodes isn't what people wants.

The score is dropping with each episode, this should be a sign.

You have a good concept so don't give up, but spend more time and effort on each episode.

Peace

[Jonny6 ep.1(trailer)]

Again...

And yet another trailer of an episode of a serie that will never exists.

Good concept
But next time just do an episode.
People don't wanna see trailers in here.
Trailers are for 1 hours and a half movies, not for some 5 minutes flash movies.

Keep it up the idea is good.

[The First Thing]

I can relate to this

Hey man great stuff !

I wasn't too sure at first, the animation was a bit choppy...like when he walk to the table...but you put the whole thing together so well that it makes you forget about its flaws.

The song was really approriate and the theme is something you can relate to.
I loved the style of it, what the guy thinks....where he goes...the flashback he has.
How the text was written...overall I really liked it.

it's a shame, people (on newgrounds) generally don't appreciate this kind of simplicity in a movie...cause it's not really the type of movies they wanna watch...not enough violence...*sigh*
But absolutly don't change your style man :)

On the constructive side : work harder on the body animations (cause you already got the nice graphics)

Peace
keep em coming

Evil-Dog

Sharples responds:

*note to self: work on animation more.

Thanks! I kinda had noticed that, but i was too lazy to do it... heh

[Perfect Kirby 3.3]

Impressive

Hi there !
I gotta say your animating skills are incredible!
it's not frame by frame but you master the tweening technique with all those changing camera angle and different movement. That was really cool to watch

I have a couple of comment tho.
You should have spent more time on the blood instead of big, tweened, red patch :)
The voice acting was sometime unclear so I couldn't understand everything.
The humor is not my type or humor tho but that's not a critic, it's just my taste, so don't change anything of your style :)

Awesome job
but hey 7mb ? isn't the newgrounds filesize limit 5mb ? :)

Peace

Evil-Dog

[ed the blade]

Nice short man !

That was sweet !
Thanks for using my music I'm honored :)
I really like the graphic style of this piece, it's original, well drawn and well put together !
the sound were good too

The only bad point is, like other people mentionned, the file size, you used the whole Rage song for the replay section, you should have made a loop of a part of the song or reduce the quality of the song...but I personnaly don't really care about file size. hehe

Keep up the good work

Evil-Dog

samiamthe3rd responds:

cheers dude, u just thought ur music went really well. iv decreased the file size now anyway, so it shud load ALOT faster..hopefully.
...sam

[Stick Figure Penalty: C2]

Yeah I guess

I know everybody's jerking off over those kind of movies but I find them rather uninteresting.

My opinion is that the stick genre has been quite overdone now and the "originality" factor is now very low. But that's just me man, I recognize the great effort that you put into this, and you have a great talent too (I liked especially the sniper part where he'S shaking, that was a nice touch) but meh...another senseless-violence-movie.

I'm pretty neutral toward your movie, there's no story, no special drawings, the sounds were good, especially the background sounds, the style, well like I said it's not a new style or anything, another stick-movie. the violence was there, but seeing a stick-guy die isn't very disturbing hehe

I'd prefer seeing more content, a story or something.
keep it up man
Peace

Evil-Dog

Ringfinger responds:

hehe. well mr. Evil-Dog, I appreciate your honesty. but most of my movies have absolutely no plot, and this is not an exeption. Looking forward to the new 'Freak' Episode ;)

[A Look at My Brain]

Is this art or not ? who cares

I'm glad you had a great score for such a small amount of effort even though I don't think it deserves it and I'm kinda jealous :) basicly cause it's not a movie.

I was chatting with some people about crappy movies that get supported by stupid people and they told me to check your movie so I did.
and I also checked your reviews and replies hahaha
Funny stuff :)

so I won't waste my time writing a long review.
Just felt like writing something.
Good concept but if you make something else, make it longer, see ya

Peace
Evil-Dog

PS : No need to insult me

Hice responds:

Crappy, Supported by stupid people...

You sir are an ass hat, you claim to enjoy my movie, yet you call it crappy and say my adoring fans are morons?

Of course you are jealious, I made true, real art and it has a high score, while your works are "Basic" at best.

Why would I make it longer, its perfect the way it is. You sir, with your review rreeking of the jealousy you admit you have, can go to hell.
