DannyP's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy WHY?]

It's OK

This movie was better than I thought it would be... pretty funny. Why was Sora there though? He's not a Final Fantasy character...
I'm guessing there are so many Final Fantasy games because, well, they're successful. The title of the series is pretty stupid, but I guess it's too late to change it now.
In your Properties panel in Flash, you should change the audio from "Event" to "Stream"; it will keep everything synchronized.

Shinpachi222 responds:

I learned about streaming about two days after releasing this flash. Life suck, right?

[A Tribute to Inuyasha79]

Lame

This is a pathetic "tribute", I doubt anyone even died from the looks of this.

AniGen2 responds:

D':< HOW COULD YOU!?!?!? SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. UR SO MEAN...

[Intelligent conversation]

Foolish

I was a fool to give a Clock movie a chance... I guess I'll continue to stick to my biases. Way to go.

SkyClock responds:

DIE OF ASS CANCER

[NG: Food Chain]

Eh... boring

I figured I'd see what all the hype was about, but was disappointed after watching this. You guys can draw pretty good, but as far as I can tell, tweening a bunch of drawings doesn't make for a good movie. A good movie (in my opinion anyways) has things like a storyline, characters, etc. One could argue that the characters were the drawings shown, and the storyline was the whole 'food chain' thing, but the character's aren't consistent and in such a case the storyline is weak.

In conclusion, I find this to be overrated... perhaps due to Newgrounds nationalists. It's not like every movie has to follow the same template and clone the majority or anything, but it shouldn't stray so far as this.

squeakytoad responds:

I don't think you get the point...

[Sprite Diapers]

Brilliant

Quite brilliant, but I must disagree with your and a lot of other peoples' thoughts about sprite movies. Many people do make generic shit movies, which you made fun of (and you did a very good job on that). But consider this: when I make sprite movies, I get sprite sheets, so I have to put the sprites in individual images, make the background transparent, and upload them to Flash before I can use them at all. That doesn't take an incredible amount of effort, but it sure is tedious and it takes a lot of time.
So let's go beyond that part... It still takes effort to come up with jokes, storyline, and whatever else. Sprite movies are good for people who can't (or don't feel like) actually drawing out the images. It gives the less artistic people a chance at making a decent movie. Many people do all that poorly of course (as you demonstrated); Mario vs. Sonic, Naruto vs. Sasuke, and whatever else DBZ style Flash movies. That gets annoying fast as it is very unoriginal. But you have to remember the good, original sprite movies like 8-bit D&D.

And finally, consider that some people actually create their own sprites. Lots of people modify the sprites so they can use the character in positions they had never been seen before in. Furthermore, I'm creating an RPG in Flash and I actually have created all of my sprites from scratch! They aren't modifications of other sprites, I didn't use other sprites for reference, they're all 100% original.

In conclusion, I don't think it's fair to brand ALL sprite movies/games unoriginal. There are some exceptions.

Once again, great movie.

Blordow responds:

yah i didnt mean every single sprite movie sucks. just the majority of them these days are the same, the ones i parodied in the movie are the ones i am mainly talking about.

[Bomber109's Games]

Not exactly the greatest, but they were unfinished

On the second level of Circle Boy I decided to go to the right instead of going all the way around... then the game glitched.
After playing through a bit, it was very glitchy, but an entertaining game.

Bomber109 responds:

Yeah, it is old, but it is addictive. I gave Skutieos the swf and he played Circle Boy for a while, and loved it.

[Genjuro (samurai shodown)]

Poor header

That's a lousy header... the file size is way too big, so it takes a while to load. I suspect that uncompressed music file is to blame for that.
The animation looked kind of OK, but it was really slow, repetitive, and boring.

braxius responds:

thats because i included the sound inside of the header, i my website its streamed

[ludas animans Ep. 7]

Oh man...

I was just looking through some of my replied-to reviews, then I found Ludas Animans ep6 pt4 and decided to boost some scores, because damn, those were excellent movies. Then on your Flash work list I saw episode 7?! So I go to it, see it was uploaded around 2 weeks ago. Then I notice the score isn't very high and there are barely any reviews! So I click to watch the movie, the movie's screen pops up, and then it's just a black screen where the Flash movie should be and it says "Flash movie not loaded..." if I right click. I'm downloading the movie to my computer using the file's URL and some HTML since I can't watch it here, but you really have to find out what's wrong with the loading screen... I'm betting this is something everyone should see, just like the previous episodes.

All right, just finished watching. That was freakin' amazing! I just can't even begin to describe how excellent that was. It's just way too bad the movie didn't load for a lot of people... this movie would probably have a way higher score. Keep up the excellent work man.

Yeah, I'm at a loss at what's wrong with the loading for some people. I don't know what version you downloaded since I just uploaded it's 4th or 5th version like thirty minutes ago. I'm still trying to pin point problem. I don't want to work on the next episode until I can resolve this problem...

Since you've watched it, though, I'm happy you liked it. *sighs*
