supercomputer276's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pencilmation #30]

Dueling pencils! I love that! Something I hope to see a little more of. However, I felt overall it was a little weaker than previous entries; not sure exactly why. Maybe because it was shorter than usual, or the gags weren't just as funny. Still a cool job nonetheless.

[PKMN: World of Chaos EP 6]

Exemplerary.

The visuals in this episode are a definite step up from previous episodes, including the splendid use of 3D effects.

I've only a few problems, mostly concerning the battle sequences. One, none of the dynamic text boxes have the Pokemon text font, a problem I've certainly had concerning interactive Flash development. You'll need to embed the fonts for every text box you use (at least, in my experience) or at the very least tell people what font you used so they can install it on their machines.

Second is how the announcement of Pokemon attacks comes after the attack animation. I can only assume this is a side-effect of the interactive battles, but I hope you find a way to put it before the animation (perhaps display it while the animation is playing).

Third is the text-advance button. While I'm fairly sure this was changed from using the spacebar due to public demand, the resulting button has an irregular "hit box" (for lack of a better term), making it somewhat annoying to click. If you don't want a visible rectangle around the symbol, setting its alpha to 1% should take care of that.

These are fairly minor gripes, though. Overall, this is an excellent work, and your Daily 3rd is well-deserved.

The font I'm using is called Agency FB and it was on the list of universal web fonts, which is why I picked it. I tried to model the battles after the games and it tells you the attacks after they're used, plus it helps with the battle flow control. I switched to click the button to advance instead of space bar because in the interactive battles, each time you clicked a button to use an attack. You would have to click on the stage again to use the space bar. This wasn't a problem with code, just seems to be something flash does.

[Mario's Castle Calamity 2]

Pretty good...

It's good and funny, but compared to the original it sorta pales.

[Apollo Injustice]

HAH!

When I saw Ema talking like Grover, I cracked up! Excellent work!

[Super Mario bros Z ep.7 (old series)]

Without a doubt...

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I loved watching the scenes in the Minus World. Certainly well worth the wait!

[My New Grounds]

*still laughing*

Oh it was SO worth the long load time, that's all I can think to say.

[Shadow's Complaints]

I find it now

OK, let's see, this movie was posted on September 20th. Sonic was announced to join Brawl in the Dojo on October 10th. So I'll let that slide.

It was interesting to watch at first, but it got old fast, especially the fanboy bit. And Cream getting creamed by the dino I didn't find as amusing, but probably because there wasn't the build up there was in Advance Crackups. The dialouge was funny and I think you did the voice of Wario very well. Overall, it's pretty good, although I think it could be better.

[Bowser's Kingdom: Eps 666]

Pretty sweet.

I thought it was just as funny as any of the other Bowser's Kingdoms, but there were several typos in the subtitles that bugged the hell out of me. Greet work, though.

[Kingdom Hearts Anime pt1]

It was alright

I think the voices were off though, and I think there were different actors for different scenes. It was also sorta plain and I didn't think it was all that actiony like I would expect from a KH flash. Still, the graphics were pretty good and I think that with a bit more effort, you could animate the rest of the manga magnificently.

KobraEditing responds:

The voices were all me except for Kairi...no changing between scenes...and I wanted to maintain the feeling of a manga(reason for the lack of movement)
