Tails-Lock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Avatar: Last Hairbender]

Had a funny idea, had the artistic talent. But the lack of humour and bad pacing quickly made this boring. There were very noticeble moments of nothing happening. I wanna say the silence was loud, if that makes sense. And then the Korra bit at the end I totally don't get. I'm not sure what the joke was meant to be. I guess you just dislike Korra? If so, felt silly you'd put that in when you're just gonna bother the majority of Avatar fans. Because Korra's series is more popular than Aang's.

You lose a star each for: bad pacing, many potential jokes not used, letting everyone know you don't like Korra like we'd even care.

having said that, I'd like to see more Avatar movies from you.

WooleyWorld responds:

Some people like the quiet. Some folks don't.
How could you want another animation after having said what you did? You're the kind of people I don't make these for. Haha.

I appreciate the effort to input though, thanks.

[Life can Throw Balls...]

Instant use of memes followed by lack of humour. Don't make anything like this again please.

TheBall responds:

Well thats my humour yah know. I had no idea what to put in the animation so I just put the troll face... anyways have a great day!

I had only made one "This is like Egoraptor" review until now. I really hate those reviews, comparing anything poorly drawn with yelling in to Egoraptor. But shit man! You totally copied his style, his humour and even his voice! But as it was so forced, it really lacks what makes Ego's movies so great. This is nothing more than a cheap knockoff. Create your own style, you don't need to copy someone else to get tonnes of views and 5s. You have the talent, that is clear, so make your movies your own. Don't try to make it look like someone else did it.

Brojack responds:

While your input is appreciated, I feel you're missing the point of this flash. In the end, yes it did end up becoming very similar to egoraptor's work, but I created this piece as an original animation, and surprisingly, none of the voices or humor were forced, stuff like that comes to me naturally, as it's what I find funny. Please don't bash this video for being similar to egoraptor's work, he doesn't own loud, insane humor.

[MLP:Cupcakes Trailer]

Finally

I knew someone else was going to go for this, I've been lucky so far that so few have tried. Looks like you'll make yours way before me too. Guess that means I just gotta try even harder to make sure mine is the ultimate Cupcakes Flash movie. onto the Flash itself, the animations didn't seem especially great, but the art was decent. I look forward to seeing how this'll look.

MikeandTreyVideo responds:

Hope to see yours too. Saw some of your stuff. tis good.

I've been doing a lot of cleaning up since I released this trailer and I'm half-ashamed that i even posted this trailer compared to what I've done. I managed to find a guy who made backgrounds that put mine to shame, so I have that going for me at least.

I was so excited

A movie used my song, it must be awesome then right?

So now I shall watch it.

:(

doppler73 responds:

I'll do better next time. Promise.

[Dem Parodeez - 2]

AMAZING!

The voice acting and animation were fantastic and the humour was shockingly original! The art in particular was clearly skillfully created. There's few other moves that deserve to be on the frontpage as much as this one does.

Also, people need to stop being idiots and giving this a 0 just because they're mad it got front page. GUYS, YELL AT TOM FULP FOR THAT, NOT ERIC.

DahDoctow responds:

hey!!!!

criticizing ur own work? lol

[WH40K: SpaceHulk]

okay enough.

I used to play the old Sega Saturn game of the same name years ago, never even knew there was a boardgame version. I remember having so many nightmares after a good session of playing that game. The graphics were amazing and horrifying for such an old game. I also remember just about every character's name I think.
Uh anyway, I was expecting you to do more with what you had, and thatyou'd bring back joyeous memories, but it was kinda dull. Yes it was funny in places, but as a whole it was just too simple. Perhaps I am judging too harshly as I loved that game so much and thus expected something of equal qulity, but I felt there was room for many more jokes to be made.

flashbound responds:

I've never actually played the old video game; this was solely based on the board game for the most part.

I'll be sure to look into the game for the next one tho :D

[Danglies: Anxiety]

Similar

All the way though I could only think of Foamy. Animal with high-pirched voice and a human that gets bossed around by the animal etc.
And going down the Foamy path is not a good thing at all, improving your animation and such a bit more would help steer you in a better direction and also perhaps adding more characters than just those 2. Overall I thought it was good but really made me think too much of Foamy.

danglies responds:

Thanks, we do have quite a few other characters and we'll introduce them probably a lot quicker now that we've discovered how similar Kia is to Foamy.

[Bunnykill 4]

Too awesome!

I tend to see people make a flash that sucks, then jsut fill it with 100 references and somehow they get good scores. It's made me really start to hate any references at all. But the Naruto parts didn't seem out of place, and super transformation (No golden hair?!) was just awesome. Combo-Breaker is a pretty underused thing so I was glad to see that in there.
But I should be talking about the important thing! The movie itself was incredible! The animation looked flawless (but then it has been nigh-perfect since the first episode) and the killing just keep getting more and more creative! I love all the little details you put in this that truly seperates it from another mindless slaughter-fest flash movie. THe emotions and mistakes the characters make, the effort you can see them using, everything, it's just amazing. You are the king of this genre!

Aaaannnd as unlikely as it may be, I may attempt to create a game version of this using Mugen (seriously, coding in that is crazy easy). Alone I likely won't have any showable progress for like a year. Not because it's hard, but because I'm just that slow. But I have all the knowledge and skill needed so there's no reason why I won't start it.

Mottis responds:

Thanks,
I actually tried making a character for Mugen a loong while ago. My plan was to create a snowball character after I get the hang of how it works, but it got too difficult. I did manage to create a character with walking/jumping animations and 2 punches and 2 kicks that connect with the the enemy and deal damage.

Also, there is already a Bunnykill character for mugen. In youtube I saw white snowball and black version go at eachother with lightsabers. It was pretty neat.
