pyromancer102's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Life of Something]

Zoiks!

This was perhaps one of the most original CC flashes I saw on all of clock day. Try watching this when you are too fucked up to walk. Definitely a fiven.

[The Expanse of Clockcrew]

Lolz

This is proof enough that you were clockified for a reason. I voted a six because although it was funny, it was really short and when compared to some of the clock work submitted today, it just can't get the same rating. Keep me laughing though!

[CC: The Big Day]

You sure can't destroy them...

Good work. Although it was a little short the comedy and freaky-deaky animation style made up for it. And I don't just say this because I may or may not be a member of the crew. Keep it up in the upcoming clock days, hopefully for years to come!

[Crimson Hero (war)]

Meh

It was a really incoherent story, no background or any other way for people to know what was going on. The animation was choppy but I've seen worse out there.

If this was your first flash, than not bad, but otherwise, this wasn't done that well. I would have to see the fight scene in part II to know whether the series is redeamable.

[The Effects of Marijuana]

Relate?

I can kind of relate to this, my friend does that shit when I smoke with him. The only people that do shit like that are newbs.

[Ethan]

Ohhh

That guy was tripping balls. Great animation and a great song. I wouldn't want to watch that shit on mushrooms, though.

[Magic Crack Rocks]

Original

This was a very original flash. I don't think the concept of "magic crack" has really been put onto paper, or in your case, flash. While I certainly like other qualities of your flash, it gets the most on creativity in my book. As a fellow artist, I understand how hard it is to be fresh nowadays.

As for the animation, it is done well. The jumping and the backward running were good animations, but you might want to work on your string-of-events animations. When Jazz stabbed the guy he just kind of fell; no slipping from the catwalk or pushing or anything else logical.

The voiceovers were well done and made me feel like these were real people talking. My only problem was the whole "theres no getting out of this deal" part. It was kind of cheesy.

With the bios, many people are too stupid and lazy to read that much and will resultingly miss much of your backstory which has alot of potential. If you put this to flash, it could perhaps be enought to make a whole series. You might want to go into detail with what power, sould, skill and stealth mean as well.

You have alot of potential, as you have your own unique style wich is rare when flash has been done for so long. If you work on your fight scenes and show us the actual fights insead of just the afterefects, you could certainly be one of the best aritsts on Newgrounds.

JazLyte responds:

Thanx cuz,and I know what you mean about the bios, considering I've put myself into a stalemate with them. I was going to make some minor changes to the story but I've deleted the .FLAs for ep.1 and ep.2 and can't take out the old profile/story etc. I just put them there originally so that people would have somethin' to do while the movie loaded. Regardless, your advice helps out alot, thanks man ^_^ And I will work on the fights

[DevilSlayer]

I'd give you a 4.5 if it went like that

This was a high quality animation. Your characters were very interesting and it seemed like they actually had lives and stories to tell. Your graphics, in my opinion, were the best part of the flash. The drawings were very nice and the anime theme went well with the story.

The only thing I didn't like about the fight scenes was how it didn't really show the actual contact or blocks- it seems like you were focusing on how powerful they were and not how they used it.

The sounds were a little off as well, like when one of your characters threw the sword at the female demon's face, it made a male grunt sound. You might want to expand your repitoir of sounds for future animations and coordinate them a little more.

Otherwise, this was a really nice animation.

JazLyte responds:

Yeah, I'm guilty on the fights. I was still really new to flash when I made it, and I still am. But I'm workin' hard on actually putting "action" into the action scenes. You had a good way of putting it. "it seems like you were focusing on how powerful they were and not how they used it." That really helps me to see where I went wrong at. Thanks for leaving a constructive review, it's refreshing, man. :)

[violent virthday vishes]

Not bad

Not a bad animation, although it was pretty short, and it featured clocks which makes it good no matter what.
