MysticShinHanKu's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragon Ball Z Parody Ep.1]

ehhh...man

how disappointing. They can never make any really good DBZ parodies anymore. This wasn't funny at all. I didn't laugh. I'm such a huge DBZ fan, but this just was really bad. The voice acting was so horrible, good thing you had subtitles cause I couldn't understand any of it. you didn't even really draw anything everything was already a drawing. Every joke just got overused the entire time. I didn't like it. Take something somewhat funny and make it hilarious, don't take the funny things in DBZ and just make them stupid...original comedy material is the best comedy. This wasn't creative at all.

dylanvdw responds:

FYI, We have drawn EVERYTHING in Flash! There are no 'jpegs' or whatsoever!

[Charlie The Unicombat]

agreed

I agree that it looks dumb when they fall. It's a very flat animation. Not enough SFX and the music is pretty boring. I like really energetic madness flashes and this has room to be really hilariously violent, but I don't think you really captured it. I wasn't extremely impressed, but interesting concept.

digitalk responds:

The music and sfx are ment to be like that, following the trend of madness apothisis

[The Hive: Episode-01]

that was awesome...but

that was really really great, some great art and animation even pretty good story which is rare, buuut it was almost completely silent, no background music, and I can't believe you didn't have voice acting! I'm sure this will do welll, but pleease put voice acting in the second episode, you really need to, seriously. If you need voice actors, you can go to

www.voiceactingclub.com and post yourself an audition with character lines and voice types. Take that advice, we at the VAC work on newgrounds flashes all the time. It'll really improve your flashes. It was great, but the silence was killin' me.

Grey-Matter responds:

Thanks for the tip. At one point, I was going to add voices, but the problem was I couldn't find someone would work cheap enough or wasn't godawful. But thanks for the heads up on www.voiceactingclub.com. This may have solved my problem.

[Sonic&BassShort:Hit & Run]

I enjoyed this

I liked it alot. good humor great speed and cool moves. I liked the sound effects that you added, helped out a lot. Good special effects too. How did you (and other people) do that part where sonic is running and the background is blurred going very quickly?

Grey-Matter responds:

Thanks. Glad you liked it. The trick behind the blurry background is first, you need to take the image is you're using for a bg into photoshop and use a slight motion blur on it. After that, take that image into flash then make a symbol and place the image inside it. Finally, put a small 3-frame motion tween on it and let it cycle over repeatly.

[Three:Escape part-a]

it was ok

not that great. the music didn't really sync, there wasn't a lot going on, very slow moving. The art style was way too simple. It was just shy of stick figures. they were basically madness style sticks. There were too many tweens, and they didn't move very quickly. It needs some work. Not horrible, but not that great.

maddskill responds:

ehh ill take it thx for the review

[Insanity Of A Machine]

not bad

it was alright, it seemed like it was mostly tweens, so a lot of the movements didn't look great. I've never been a big fan of tweens. Good job though. But when you make the gun fire or him turn around, he spins around like a 2D object if you messed around, I'm sure you could get a much nicer way of doing that.

SaintStudios responds:

I'll probably refine it in a while. Thanks for the advice.

[Hass and the Fence]

quite nice

It was cute and very ironic. I liked it. good job. Very clean animation and art.

Greyfox999 responds:

Thank you =)

[SKATER V2 Episode: 03]

Great job!

Awesome job Markus, glad to be a part of it. Good luck on the next part.

MarcyVF responds:

Thanks! :D You reviewed my movie :O :P
Looking forward to new "bussines?" with you!
:D Thanks a lot!

[Nightwalking]

great animation..but..

no audio and no color dropped the interest for me. Some SFX, music would've made this much more enjoyable. when she hit him with the dog then kicked him would've been much funnier and cooler if there were audio and color. I bet if you redid it with color and audio you'd do really well.

Slackman responds:

Well, I'm sorry about the lack of audio and color, but I couldn't find any music I thought complimented it all that well, and I didn't have time to do it in color. My next short will have audio and color. Thanks for the help though!

[Bitches Ain't Shit Part 2]

Very nice

This was an improvement in my opinion. Even though they were made together :p I kinda liked a lot of this one more. You should export your audio at a higher quality to make it sound much better, but that wasn't a big deal. (I was recommended 64 kbps and it sounds great is pretty good with file size) The Foster's ref was funny. Though I didn't really like that you directly quoted Waiting with 2 types of girls. If you use someone's joke you need to immediately make it known that it wasn't yours in my opinion. It was funny yes, but if someone hasn't seen waiting, the ref is gone. It was a quote, not a reference, but again, no biggie. I liked the character, a lot of it was real. The loss of voice actor sound for the girl when he cuts her off, that was a funny bit. I'm sure it inconvenienced you but it was funny.

congrats on the awards, I'm sure you'll improve on your next movies or episodes for this series? Good luck.

LichiMae responds:

I know, I was trying to figure out how to do the Waiting quote...I should've drawn the background as the restaurant, and dressed him as a waiter for that part...

And like 7 voice actors bailed....this whole project was one problem after another. :<

And it's the mic, not the KBPS, cuz it's at 128. :B

Thanks for the comment though, I hope that I improve everything by the next one. LOL
