solidblur's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mastermind 3]

It was..good

Everything was basically good. Animation was very nice, graphics were a definate high (amazing work on shadows), voices was ok (the boss was not really funny, but the minions were), the story was...well. It's not the most original work in the world, or the most fun, but it's all well made and all. I think it needs a bit more charm, if you understand. I know it's supposed to be "evil" and "pathetic" (as in "a pathetic boss"), but somehow "funny" wasn't implemented 100%.

[2 - The Story of Khale]

Professional indeed

Congratulations, you just made the new #1 flash at Newgrounds. This is an amazing piece of animation. Some of the scenes were so detailed I could have examined them for hours. The movement was fluid, the expressions priceless, the story and setting seems to be worthy of a big screen adaptation. I simply can't wait to see where this goes. It's a bloody shame that it takes forever to make such a great flash.

One of the tings that keeps drawing me back to this film is the brilliant feelgood-music found about 2/3 in. Where they get ready to take off in their wooden spaceship. The whole concept of wooden ships (mmm.. jefferson airplane) being maneuvered through the air using magic was really cool and pulled off exceptionally well with the music. I've shown it to a few friend and it always brings a smile to peoples faces.

All in all; great work. I'm honored to be sharing the front page with you this week :) Keep it up, you're going places.

[Primal War 17]

Holy frekkin bejesus

You put some serious effort into this. I'll check out the previous entries as well. The art was amazing and the animation complimented it nicely. I don't know much about the story, so I won't speak of the characters too much. My first impression might be that they were all a bit similar in the way (everyone is max hardcore to the bone), you might want to throw in a few characters that charm as well as impress :) I know it's tough taking pointers from a person who hasn't seen everything yet, but I always look for any kind of criticism in my own work so I can improve, so here it is.

I think it can be truly epic if you have the diversity of characters, meaning there is something for everyone. This is not to say you didn't have diversity, I mean those dinomen were incredible! I'm an old dino-nut, so that put a smile on my face. I'm just saying: fill the world with wonder and the action will be more brutal :) Looking forward to checking out the previous entries and the upcoming ones.

Cheers, Michael

Too short

Well, it's not really hard sitting through the movie like you ask, because it's seriously short. Your hand drawn animation is very good, but I'm sure you could have done enough for a longer movie (there is only 7 scenes here). And the story is a bit thin. Overall a cute film, but a tad overrated.

[Sonic Reversal: Ep. II]

Grats man!

Congratulations on getting front page mate, I'm hoping for the same with my newest submission. I had loads of trouble uploading as well, so my first scores were horrible ^^ Great film, keep it up buddy.

[crossroads in the sky]

Double edged sword

The animation was superb, but...the dialoge, the acting; horrendous. If it was intended to be that way, then I don't think it was the right way to go. Good effort in any case.

This you don't see every day

Holy shit...that was AWESOME. It's too bad something like this will never see top 50, it's in it's own category to put it lightly, but you are a master of sick. THE bloody master.

[GLIP]

Instant favorite.

I'll be keeping my eye on you man.

[Irod Bad!]

You had me laughing all the way

The perfect blend of Ren and Stimpy/zeropunctuation. I loved every second of it man. I like the style, it doesn't need to be perfectly fluid. Keep making funny movies like this and you'll have a fan :) 5/5 for comedy
