[Clear Man Episode 4!]

Truly awful

Possibly the most overrated movie on NG. No plot, poor graphics, awful annoying sounds, it just stinks. There's no redeeming features to it whatsoever, it's just an incredibly bad piece of flash.

[a close encounter]

Below average

Had some kind of plot but it generally wasn't that good - the graphics were on the bad side of poor, you have some OK sound effects but no voices, violence was alright but it wasn't very funny. A movie of a decent length but nothing good really happened in it.

[Brain Dead Ina]

One for the gore fans

Fine stuff, worthy of the daily feature award it got. Best feature is clearly the violence - tons of gore and not one for the kids to watch. A lengthy crazy zombie movie, with very good visuals but disappointing sounds in places. Weird in that there's lots of stuff to see before the movie actually start. It's not one of my absolute favourites, but it's very good and enjoyable, a fine mindless killing spree.

[Clock Chase]

Fair effort

This is enjoyable enough, fairly funny with a lot of action going on. Not a bad clock movie at all. Maybe a bit short, it ended abruptly (not bad, but a couple more scenes before the finish would have improved it a lot), and the sounds seemed quiet, but they're minor quibbles. The graphics weren't bad either. Overall - above average, worth watching.

[Strategy Guide Ep. 1]

Very funny stuff

You can't help but laugh at an alien that sucks at Gradius and can't even remember the Konami code... this is good stuff, nice graphics and a generally good idea. Good to see you're doing a series, should be one to watch for. The combination of classic gaming and comedy is always a winner!

[Bacon]

WTF???

That's some crazy stuff you've got going on there - it's funny simply because everything is so random. If you're stoned or like things that are generally weird, you'll love this. Otherwise you'll just wonder what the hell it's all about.

[Flying Dream]

Didn't cut it for me

I didn't like this much at all - there's nothing really going on in the movie, just a series of short animations with some quiet music in the background. Lacking in storyline, this reminded me of My Angel only nowhere near as good, and I didn't like that much either. The drawing was nice, but for my money that was the only good aspect.

[Arnie the Saviour]

Not bad

It's a random Arnie based short - didn't like it massively but it's better than average and it looks and sounds nice. Fairly funny and surreal.

[History of fuck!]

Still great even now

I saw this the first time around and someone just reminded me of it. It's still funny now, three years after release. It's all based around the sound file, and some simple image movement, but to coin a phrase it's fucking hilarious. A classic NG submission.

[Megaman: Re-Vengeance]

Looking very promising

This is a big improvement on Megaman: Vengeance. It's longer, still looks great with some nice fight sequences, and the ending should be something special. Music fits the movie nicely, and the amount of violence and action is impressive. Good job on this!
