ShadeWizard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mr. Literal]

Egoraptor...

I wuv yoo.

[Pants on the Ground]

Awesome!

This flash is so much cooler if you've seen General Larry Platt's audition on American Idol.

Great remix/cover/whathaveyou! The animation fits perfectly too.

[Date for One]

Great job!

Smooth animation, good story that ties up nicely, a great :'D moment, I like it!

And I must say, the music at the end is amazing. I gotta find that stuff.

[Prelude to the One]

Awesome stuff!

You obviously worked hard on the animation; all the characters make very realistic movements and do so in sensible time. Besides the main character's tendency to ignore gravity every now and then, all the movements are believable.

What really made this stand out was the great use of the environment in this fight, where both the enemies and the main character use in creative ways to fight.

It's obvious that you got your inspiration from Xiao Xiao, but unlike most people, you do a damn good job of recreating that type of fighting! You even get perspective better than what's seen in Xiao Xiao, do you use Swift3D?

[Pinball-like Echoes]

Surprisingly awesome!

I normally dislike flashes that take place in bizarre fantastical worlds, but you made it work so well! The plot is simple but compelling, and the animation is flawlessly smooth. The music is catchy, and despite the excessively repetitive scat, it wasn't annoying at all but rather contributed to the flash really well.

Good shit, man. Keep it coming.

[Two Minutes Of Terror Ep3]

Oh my god

The part where she suddenly falls scared the crap out of me.

[Tiddlywank]

Haha...

This was a pretty good DBZ parody, although the duration of looping is pretty unnecessary. The artwork is great, and the sound is adequate. A pretty good job, but you should speed up the power-leveling.

"What the fuck do you mean you don't know hyper beam?" <That is just priceless.

[Losing Track]

Frankly, I don't like it

You don't give the plot nor the character any development. The only "story" I'm getting from this is: weird looking guy is standing, weird-looking guy blinks and light shoots out of one eye, weird-looking guy sits on something, weird-looking guy finds something, weird-looking guy does some nom nom nom on something weird-looking, and a weird-looking thing pops out. It'd be helpful if we can get a sense of who/what these things are, instead of just trying to be satisfied with weird-looking things.

The noise was just...obscure. It sounded terrible to the point that I'm not going to call it music (and I'm very lenient on what I consider music). It's basically a bunch of random noises thrown together, with a constant screeching noise that would rank pretty high on a lot of people's Pet-Peeves list. The noise was appropriate for this flash though, because...well it's weird-sounding.

The artwork isn't bad, but again, it's just weird. I'm okay with weird, but you should at least make a good reason for things to be weird.

Rutger responds:

it's just that like, most people dislike it. that's okay.

[Cooking (bocodamondo)]

Not bad.

The animation wasn't amazing, but you've got basically everything that makes a legitimate flash. You have appropriate sound effects (although sometimes they don't quite fit in), a pretty good plot, and animation that shows that you put effort into it. The characters were actually pretty well drawn, it was the overload on solid colors in the background that bothered me. I'm also really impressed how you made such a long flash in a mere week.

I think that it's really cool of Edd/Ego/Jaxxy/Toma to help you with this, lots of props to those guys (not that they don't have enough props!).

bocodamondo responds:

well i keep training on my animationes

[Madness: Rising]

I'm amazed!

The art is simply fantastic. Even the menu screen looks amazing. The animation ran really smoothly, with a great 3D touch. At 60 fps, this must have taken you quite a bit of effort!
The fight sequence had everything you'd expect from an epic battle scene, and the gradual increase in intensity and gore was good too.

I'm not really sure what Hank's weapon is though. Is it the claw that he got from being resurrected in the latest madness? I also didn't like how Tricky totally dominated Hank with one smack with that stop sign. I expected to see an epic battle scene where Hank shows at least SOME competence.
