[X Stick Man (Closed Movie]

Clearly you've got better from here

I don't know, this is somewhat ironic in a way. It's the sort of movie you've probably rated three or less about 2000 times... ah well. In some way it's kind of funny. I guess when it was submitted it looked better :-)

XwaynecoltX responds:

Lol ok, if you say so, i find it funny that the two movies you review are my first two which are ages ago, yep it is a stick man, but hey its my movie, and infact im a rare reviewer that does get out there and make movies even if it is crap...

[Fishes]

What the hell?

It's a fish pond. Looks like all of about five frames of poor graphics infinitely looped. Truly awful.

LordAba responds:

It was more like 4, but you get the point.

[Circle Fight (Part1)]

Too short

Yes, it was rather Kirby-esque... anyways, it looked good but it was too short. I was starting to think it's good and massively underrated but then the movie stopped. Finish it off please, as you've got some flash skills.

Satoshiji responds:

Thanks.. I won't be able to finish though. Hackers.. I swear.

[skate-a-mation pt 0.5]

Nice skate movie, with some flaws

The animation is pretty good, and there's a nice selection of tricks. It can be improved though - try adding a preloader and replay button, and make it longer if you can. Make the backgrounds a bit nicer and show everything that's happening (like not just the legs in one scene) and you could be on to a winner.

CandleClock responds:

thanks for the ideas:)

[Guerilla Madness Teaser 1]

Don't do trailers

I don't like trailers. I especially don't like trailers that tell you very little about the movie. The final movie looks like it could be good, show us that, rather than just a trailer. And don't make a second trailer, even if that tells us something.

Irish-Rebel responds:

Thanks for your opinion, but I'm often just experimenting with the trailer type thing to see how certain things run on NG.

[A Look at My Brain]

The genius is the simplicity

It's a very rare occasion when I get to view such brilliance as this piece of art. You can just sit and watch it all day, that's how good it is. All the naysayers that have been slating this clearly have something wrong with them. Everyone should just watch this, stick some music on in the background, and enjoy for thirty minutes a day. Your life will improve and make the world a better place.

Hice responds:

I see you understand the subtle yet deep inner meaning I put into this.

[TheROCK]

Decent random short

It's not a bad short - simple, some violence and nothing jumped out and said "this sucks" to me, so you get average marks. It's encouraging for a first flash to make it into NG, continue making stuff, ideally a bit longer and with more of a storyline.

Gauphastus responds:

I'm glad. I worked hard to avoid such suckiness. I'm sure some disagree of course, but we all can't not be retards!

...can't... not.. Yeah. That's good.

Anyways, thank you.

['Asteroids' music video]

Good music video

It's a good song that you've used, and the movie is good to go with it. Fairly short but enjoyable, and the special features were a nice touch. Keep going with your other projects, if they're as good as this they should rock.

Bezman responds:

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. :D

[Taco-Man for Governor]

Heh, pretty cool

This is good - nice subtle jokes and a good general parody. I thought the RIAA episode was better personally, but this is still good! Great graphics and good sounds, and a generally well produced movie, though it should have used "if it bleeds we can kill it" somewhere ideally!

[strawberry clock]

Average clock movie

In the future, please turn the sound up a bit, the voices were very quiet! Anyhow, this wasn't too bad, funny in places and long enough not to be billed as too short (although extra scenes can never go amiss). I'm not a huge clock fan, but this was OK.

grim-reaper-clock responds:

i cant turn the sound up i dont think i can but i find listning to the voices useing headphones is better thanks for the review
