Viridis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SF Series Episode 1]

Excellent!

This was a cool movie, Street Fighter falshes are some of my faves as its one of my fave fighting games, next to Marvel Vs Capcom, which you intergrated into this flash too. The story was good, i liked it, and by the end i was anticipating watching the second one. Good work.

Graphically it was good, great even. BUT. It could of been so much better. First off the sprites were good, alot looked good but some looked better than others, also i noticed that the Spiderman sprite was in black and white, while the rest were in colour. :)
The background on the first scene outside [Im gonna assume the acadamy] Looked a bit streched out, and didnt look great compared to the sprites. The backgrounds later on were fine though.

The animation was great and as you only have 6 flashes on Newgrounds thats a great achievement. The sprites moved solidly and very smoothly throughout the walking and fighting sequences. In the first scene though all the characters were moving at once, and it looked kinda wierd. Too many characters packed in there. :)

The sound was great, the music in the menu was cool and the mellow orchestral music throughout up to the fight scene was great, all the sound effects throughout were great too. Some of them sounded like they came straight out of the anime Naruto. :P
The voice acting was great too. :D

Overall it was great, one of the best street fighter flashes on here and id defo recommend you to keep going for as long as you can with this series as it seems to be great. Well done man!

Thank You for the review...that Spiderman was just a simple pallete swap...everybody that you see in that scene will become intergal in the later scenes...I also have to thank Tom for hooking me up with an upload limit so now the epsiodes will be lengthy... I did wanna make a nod to my other flash movie with the Naruto sounds...um like I said before thanks and plz spread the word.

[The Dot of Excellence 2]

Ehhh

Theres not much i can say in this review that i didnt already say in "The dot of excellence 1". To be honest i dont know why you even bothered. Its a white backround, with 10 or so copy pasted pictures on it. And a dot. The dot doesnt even look good!!

The only good thing about it is the music and that'll get you a 1 in this review, and thats even pushing it. Theres nothing for me to say that you could improve on as there's nothing solid for you to base it off. Sorry.

Better luck next time.

[Dragonball Z Episode 2]

Not great...

Hmmm, i am a fan of the dragonball Z series and you didnt portray this very well, the storyline wasnt accurate for one thing, Tien and chaotzu werent at Kame house when raditz arrived, and Goku and the rest were already there when he arrived.

The graphics werent great, very inconsistant is about the only way i can describe it, there were hand drawn characters mixed with sprites which didnt look good at all. There were also cut and pasted pictures. The overall presentation for this wasnt great at all. The title screen was cool though.

The animation wasnt great, kinda choppy at some parts, and the sound was ok, good music but voice acting would of made it so much better, and a better script as well, as you made out goku to be a moron, throwing Gohan into the ground, and the way he talked to Raditz.

Overall it was pretty weak, a bad rehashing of the second DBZ episode, it needs more effort and research for this to become a good flash. Try harder next time.

Formalz responds:

We're fans of Dragonball , Z, and Gt and we can portray it however we want, we made it and obviously we did not want the series the same if u watched Episode 1. All characters were sprites. It was an experimental series using sprites. I understand the animations are choppy, they were Snes... We wish we could have voice acted, it would have been much funnier, we agree. The script is an original DBZ comedy story. Throwing Gohan is supposed to be funny, we dont see why you get offended by such actions. It may need more effort that u want, but research is 110% because we are aware of DBZ that isnt even out yet. The Movie. Have fun.

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 6]

Excellent!!

Excellent, i liked it alot. Great flash! Short and sweet, good humor and storyline. And it was original and unexpected, i had no idea what was about to happen and i was pleasently surprised, and it made me laugh which is always a plus!

Graphically it was very simple, the characters had thier own original style which was good, and they looked simple, but for a short it worked pretty well, the colours were all pretty basic too. The backrounds were pretty good though, more detailed than the characters anyway. One plus side to the whole graphical aspect of it was that the grenade was very well drawn. :P

The animation was good, even though there wasnt much in the flash, it was smooth. I liked the voice acting as well, great voices and the sound was really clear. So well done!!

Some thigns about this flash were great, but it needs some more i think, subtitles would of been nice along the bottom and also, as its a short, and only 30 seconds long, more detail could of been put into the characters. But apart from this it was great. May have to o watch the others now!! Good Job!!

I think I may start shading my characters, I just have to get the hang of it. =/

[The Dot of Excellence]

Terrible

This was absolutley rubbish to be honest, there was almost nothing to the flash, one moving sprite and 2 stationary sprites on a plain white backround, i can tell you didnt put any effort in as you said you were surprised it passed.

The only half decent thing in it was the music.

[Wegra Adventure 3]

Awful

Right this wasnt great, so far none of the "Wegra series" have been any good in my opinion, and im very surprised it got a score of at least 2, you need to start making more of an effort in these flashes.

Graphically it was horrible, lets start off with the backrounds, there were none, most of the time you just used a plain white background, and i can say that these ALWAYS look terrible, sloppy. The characters were just stickmen, and disproportionate stickmen at that, more effort needed. And the addition of cut and pasted images doesnt do much for presentation. :/

The animation was pretty much non existant, i would even call this flash an animation at all, more of a picture slideshow. Work on that. The sound was terrible, i can understand using speakonia if you cannot get a voice actor but half the time i couldnt understand what the hell was going on. Also the sound overran the length of the flash at the end and it cut back to the preloader.

Overall it was not good, i didnt like it and you need to put some serious work into making actual animations, also i saw your apology about the end, if it wasnt completely finished dont submit it to Newgrounds.

[Tywo At Large Ep. #2]

Sweet

This was good, i liked the whole "public service announcement" style of it, those are always good to exploit. :P
This was shorter than 1.5 which was good, it was short and sweet and full of the funnies. Nice work.

The graphics once again were great, consistant and good as always, and the greyscale format of the flash fit the theme of it perfectly. Good work. The animation was smooth throughout and the voice acting was good and clear, accompanied by the calm music.

Overall it was good, and i prefered it to 1.5
Nice work man :D
