EnragedSephiroth's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Idiot Named:Buck Boy]

Sorry.

the sfx were extremely loud, and the voices were extremly hard to hear in some parts, and in other parts the voices were extremely loud and the sfx were not on the same volume level. It would seem like you were going somewhere in the beginning, however, it looks like you got lazy when buckboy woke up, this is pretty obvious during the phone conversation because it doesn't take much effort to animate mouths moving with that little detail. Sorry but I couldn't finish watching this because of all the screwed up volumes, I stopped watching it when he got to hell and got the television, fix the volumes then I might be able to stand it all.

[Rise of the MK: Part 4]

At long last!

Wow I was away from Newgrounds for so long that I wasn't even aware the fourth installment of this was already available! First off, congrats on such a great series of sprite flash, you are an inspiration to sprite flash artists everywhere.

Now then, you have a pretty nice preloader. The sound-effects and music are as crisp and lush as they can get, I appreciate the audio quality. I'm glad to find a sprite flash that doesn't have music that sounds like it was recorded through a funnel. The soundtrack fits in perfectly with the scenes.

I see that you started off right away where 3 left off, you even had mario do a Samus-esque wall jump. I find it interesting how you can add emotion to your sprite flashes. On another note, The nintendo sense of humor cracks me up to no end. The way that you render the backgrounds is second to none, I can tell you spend time and effort creating them. Hmm at first I thought the battle between Wart and Mario would be old school, but you mixed it up with some great creativity, humor and ingenious moves. Can't get enough of that retro stuff like when Mario visits the alternate world through the red door to get his feather, that rawks.

I'll pretend like I didn't see Wart's ass. As the series of MK has progressed, I've seen your flash skills become more and more superb, in this case the background zooming effects blew me away, you don't fail to disappoint. This is exactly why when I mention awesome flash artists, especially those that work with sprites, your name always comes up. My hat's off to you again Randy Solem.

[I'm a Scat Man]

Lmfao

Wow dude, talk about subliminal messages and epillepsy @.@ that was one crazy flash. I don't usually like clock flashes because they're pointless and humorless, however, this one had a good weight of humor, I enjoyed it. I was especially surprised to hear the sound bit from the anime "Kite" at the end when you highlight the "play again" button, that was hillarious, great jarb (job).

["Target Practice"]

Eh, it was so-so.

Ah yes I remember seeing this on the news, lol. Um, to tell you all the truth, the animation is really quite smooth for such simple sketching, it could have used a little bit more length but heh, I guess there's not much that can be done about that anymore eh? This guy could have been a better artist if he had kept his life and kept honing his flash skills, but alas, not all of us can cope with the gratitious and surplus drama of our adolescent years in the same ways.

[One Man Show]

Laughable.

Loved the head-banging Beavis sprite in the "Gay Bar" scene. If you had added some "boom" to the speakers it would have helped out a lot. I don't know what's up with the walking guy, it just looks like Ryu with a t-shirt and blue jeans walking down some repeating scenery. Your choice of music is pretty funny I had to admit. The last bit with the answering machine and the sound bit from Seinfeld was pretty lame, you could have done something better (I hope) but anyway, it was interesting to watch, I look foward to seeing your skills develop with your sense of humor.

THHHHANKSSSSS

[Mario's Last Stand 2]

Hm.

Great, a Mario flash with Final fantasy music... I couldn't ask for anything more! Not to mention a deform phone and sound effects that are too loud for any speaker to handle, and others that are too quiet. The pixelated fire and mspaint blood was also nice. Actually I'm being sarcastic, all of that stuff lowers the score of your movie, although I did find it to be funny that everyone was fighting with guns and swords instead of the traditional fireballs, stomping and mushrooms. This had Mushroom Kingdom written all over it :/ even though Randy Solem used SNES mario sprites, it was the same underlying premise, nothing all that original. I know it took you some time and patience to make this, but it is what it is.

[Non-Canonical Joke Minute]

Sweet.

This movie has a very hip feel to it. The sounds are recorded very well and the voice-overs are done just as nicely. It sounds weird as hell to hear an anime-style character talking with a Scottish accent. The movie was pretty short but sweet, I've heard that joke a lot before though so I'm a bit impartial towards it. Awesome artwork though.

[APOSTLES TRAILER]

Looks promising.

Your drawing style is pretty sweet thus far. There's room for improvement, so I trust that your training with others will only further-develop your already-impressive skills. This particular flash could youse some sfx rather than a track by Muse. I enjoyed watching this though, it was pretty damn sweet. Keep up the good work bro, this looks like it's gonna kick some huge ass, I'm looking foward to it.

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

Heyyy, not too shabby.

The drawings in this animation were done very well, and the animation went along very smoothly. It had a good sense of humor, and furthermore it was short but sweet. I'd normally blam a movie this short for lack of content, but this was meant to be a short joke, more or less. Nice job, just make a longer one next time, you've got a good style.

[Abraham Lincoln video]

Nein.

The fact that you drew all this by yourself is commendable, however, this does not meet the criteria for flash, all you did was incorporate an animation into flash that's like... going out and recording some live footage and then adding it to flash, it just doesn't work, claymation barely even passes. The lyrics were pretty distasteful rather than being comical. The singing voice was also very distorted, could barely be heard over the music, and required no talent to "sing" what so ever. I thought this would be a proper animation, it didn't matter if it poked fun at Abe Lincoln or not, but this was just retarded.

Don't worry, the feature length Abe cartoon coming soon is a lot better, faster, and nicer quality.
