TSRevolutionary's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Between part.1 english]

I Wish I Had Watched This Before Part 2!

Afterall, seeing this sets up the appropriate mood for Part 2, and while it doesn't really facilitate my understanding anymore or less, it does add some more understanding to the main character's mindset. Particularly, like Part 2, I love the ideas presented; the monotony of everyday life, and the urge to rebell against it. When you consider that the girl (a hallucination) influences his decision to go to the forbidden floor...its just a very cool concept.

I like the music selection for this flash greatly; unlike Part 2, I thought it fit in perfectly. It was hectic and fast-paced, which I felt is how you were trying to display his generally life-style. Fast-paced with no time to enjoy life in general. As a matter of fact, after seeing Part 1, I have a greater understanding of what you were trying to achieve with Part 2. So the music in this flash fits your message personally.

However, the main problem is the main problem I found with Part 2, and unfortunately, its even worse here: the grammar. I understand that you're Brazillian, and that's completely cool. Hell, I can only speak English, so I can't complain too much, right? However, once you translate your series into English, why not just send it to a native speaker of English and have them proof-read it? I mean, evening putting the translation into Microsoft Word would reveal a lot of flaws. I don't want to seem like I'm beating the same bush over and over, but there are some points where I'm not really sure even what you're trying to say, because the grammar is that bad. Hell, I'll even check the grammar for you! Your flashes are so superb, I love them so much, that I hate to see them be dragged down by something like spelling and sentence structure!

Still, great flash. Personally, I like Part 2 better, but I think of the two the same way as I think of Kill Bill. Volume 2 was better than Volume one, but I really think of them as two parts of the same film. Put together, the Between story is excellent. You've made my favorite artist list.

[Devil May Cry 3:Mario Ed.]

Nicely done!

First of all, for only being your second submission to Newgrounds, this is absolutely superb. I see you quickly becoming a respected artist on the site. Please, keep making movies and keep growing as an artist; you'll go places.

What I liked about the flash was that nothing is really executed incorrectly. The sound is perfect; I'm not really sure how you got the DMC3 sound file, but it sounds just as if I was playing the intro on my television. The animation synches up perfectly, and hell, its DMC! It was a nice idea that was implemented with little flaw.

I suppose the real problem with the flash is that all of its appeal really relies on the sound clip. If you really think about it, nothing really happens in the flash. Its the same background, which isn't really all THAT detailed. Its grass and rain. The only sprites (or detail of any sort) we see are Mario and Luigi, holding identical swords, reinacting the very basics of what happens in the actual DMC introduction.

My suggestion would be, if you're trying to reinact the intro, really reinact it! Nothing really happens in the flash. Perhaps add the scene where the swords are clashing together, and the rain goes flying away from the two (you know what I'm talking about). Make it look like they're on a tower. Make their swords look like the swords used in the game. I suppose I'm asking for variety; that's all.

Overall, this is a great flash, and I enjoyed it. I just feel that, before it becomes excellent, it needs more additions. Good luck, and I look forward to future submissions.

Wow! Nice long review!

Yeah you are right about a lot of things there, but i wasnt really trying to reinact the exact scene. Although that was my origonal intention. In the begining, I was trying to do that, but it is very hard to do in a 2-d flash, I couldnt find any tower backgrounds, weird stuff like that. soooo yeah.

[Lovely Happy Times]

For the Love of God...

Well, obviously the goal of this flash is to be as random as possible. To that end, you have achieved your goal 100%. I have to say, with the title "Lovely Happy Times," I was expecting something a bit more...lovely? Happy? So, god damn, did I jump with that beginning animation. And my sound was all the way up...whew.

I'm not really sure what you could do in order to prompt a higher score from me. Yes, this flash is random, and it inspires a wide variety of reactions from me personally, but that is because you resort to extremes. From extremely freaky to...a man fucking a pig.

I suppose if you could create the same flash without having to resort to overly bloody, obsurd, or "sexual" scenes, it would be much greater and unique in my mind. Like I said, you inspired several emotions in me, being freaked out the most prominent, but you can do that without blood and...pig-fucking. I suppose my point is, your idea is original. Your method is not.

Overall, though, a good flash. I gave you a 4.

[Between part.2 english]

I Loved It

I love the concept, I love the story, and I love the animation. The questions posed are interesting to think about from a philosophical stance, but simply looking at the plot, I really like the situation that occurs. Hallucinations only occur when there is too much hate. When he hallucinates, he sees someone he loves. The love, in turn, stops the hallucinations. I love it!

I have two problems, however. First of all, the grammar/spelling/etc. is just shitty. It shouldn't be that difficult to go back and check your spelling and what not; I mean, the spelling is really just atrocious at times. I may have spelled that wrong :) . The point is, a misspelled word here and there is fine. But if it distracts me from the flash, that's a problem.

Second, I think this flash might have been more effective with some talented voice acting and some background music. I understand that, stylistically, that may not be what you had in mind, however. With that said, perhaps a different music choice would have fit with the theme better. I don't know, maybe its just me, but I just didn't think the music matched the flash that well.

Ultimately, I want to give this flash a 10, but the grammar and musical issues don't allow me to do so. I did, however, give you a 5. Just fix the grammar, and this is going on my favorites!

im brazilian u.u

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Absolutely Wonderful.

I've watched this flash a thousand times, and I've just now gotten around to reviewing it. Honestly, I don't think I've laughed that hard EVER. Every single bit of it was hilarious, from the style of art to the voice acting to...everything! Superb, just...superb...

[ShoBizNewsyNews #33]

Moderately Funny

But simultaneously, not. I smiled a few times, but that was pretty much it. Primarily, the entire Steve Irwin bit was just not funny. Don't get me wrong, I'm not "sensitive" because of his recent death. Hell, I make jokes about it all the time. But the Irwin-in-heaven approach just sucked. Sorry.

[Madness Antipathy]

Good Old Madness Fun

However, the fact that this is "Good Old Madness Fun" is almost a bad thing. Trust me, this is a wonderful flash, and I'm giving it a 5, but I can't help but wonder how many more of these I can watch before it just becomes old altogether. The only parts that truly felt unique in this movie was the entire train sequence and when he fought with the axe. Everything else...well...I just felt like I had already seen it before. And the plot is just crazy over-my-head, but hell, who watches Madness for the plot? Anyway, great work, just try to spice it up a bit in the future.

[TTA Episode 003]

Interesting

Well, this series manages to keep me interested as it goes on, and that's always a plus. Plus, I have to say that the FF7 midis are always a nice touch. However, the battle scenes just aren't very interesting to watch, and the constant clicking irritates me. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I'd rather just be able to lay back and watch the movie. What you definitely have going is an interesting plot with interesting characters; just polish things up a bit.

[Go, Go, Parody Rangers!]

Pure Brilliance

I have to admit, when I saw the words "Power Rangers," I was a little skeptical. But hell, it made the front page, so I checked it out anyway. And damn, am I glad I did. That was possibly one of the funniest movies I've seen on Newgrounds. And what's more, it was about Power Rangers! Any idiot with Flash can make a Mario or Link parody; but to make a movie about Power Rangers, and have it actually be funny...that takes skill. Anyway, excellent movie. It gets a five.
