PenguinLink's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metaphysics]

Needs more work...

But otherwise, ok. The graphics need some work. You could have shaded the stick figures head, the toaster, the mirror and the breads also. The walking cycle of the stick figure wasn't bad, but if you work on it a little bit more, you can make it better. The music fitted the movie well, but in my opinion, you shouldn't have repeated it once it was over. It made the flash seem repetive in the aspect of sound. If you work a little bit more on your submissions, I gurantee you'll keep getting better and better. Good luck with your future submissions.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I guess I was pressed for time.

[Kill Phil vol 3]

This was awesome!

This was great! Very nice job on this! The violence was great and so was the humor. As other people have mentioned, it would be great if it had voices. The only flaw to this was when the guy with the sword was killing all of the people in the disco place. the blood looked very choppy. But nevermind that! I'm sure you will get better and possibly win some awards. All in all, good luck on your future submissions, and looking forward for volume 4.

[The BooGrr Song]

Great drawings

But unfortunately, not a lot of animation to it. The drawings of the characters were great. I found them to be quite original and nicely executed. What I didn't like, was the song. I just didn't sorry. But the nice graphics made up for it. I also didn't find it to be funny either. But thats just me. Anyway, I believe you have talent and you should use it. Use all of those characters and make an animation with them and I promise you it will be a great submisson. It might even reach the 50 best list in the portal. Other than the lack of animation, and the music that I didn't like, you did and ok job. Good luck with your future submissions.

Please read 'Author's Comments'.

"I'd animate it more, but due to the pace of the song, there's not much point. Anyway, BurtonEarny's llamas didn't do anything but pose."

[Zelda: Sneaking In]

Great!

The best part to this flash was the voice acting. It was great. Another thing that was good was the style you had here. Great drawing of the characters. I could also see anime elements incorporated into this submission. Again, very nice job on choosing the voice actors and congratulations on them for doing a very good job.

LilDwarf responds:

I know, Omahdon did an awesome job. Thanks for the review

[Bill the Lonely Zombi 1-3]

Nice job

The best thing to this flash was the music. It suited the flash very nicely. Although I know these were meant to be comics, there was still some parts where you could have animated a little bit more. An example is the following. In the third episode, you could have at least animated the cat's tale. You could have made it wiggle or something. Another flaw in this flash were the graphics. Although the characters were nicely shaded and drawn, other parts were drawn kind of jagged. An example of this are the capes that Bill had to choose. No offence, but they looked like raisins. You could have also shaded the cat that was on the tree. Other than all those stuff, very nice job. As said above, very nice job on the selection of the music. Good luck on your other submissons, and to the rest of the people of Sunday Comics and Toons.

CybermonkeyStudios responds:

You are right, I could have improved the graphics a little but I think they are fine. I'm glad you liked the music but it's too bad you didn't really like the humour.

Thanks for the review!

[Dr Steel's Back and Forth]

Thank you

Everything I will say in this review would have been said a hundred times already. (Nice graphics, great style, awesome sound etc...) But there is one thing that I noticed from you. Your ability to respond to all reviews. Never since the time I have been here in this website, (About two years knowing it existed, one year being a member.) Have I seen a person respond to all reviews like this. Yes, I have seen animators repond to all their reviews but their animations are not quite good as yours. You are the first artist, that has been known around for your award winning and overall great submissions, to respond to ALL the reviews. So I say thank you on the behalf of the reviewers and by myself, and I wish you many luck on your future submissions.

starkravenmadd responds:

Well I am just honestly floored. I really do try and get to each review. You guys take the time out of your busy scheduals to say a few things about my work and I feel you deserve at least be recognized for the deed!
I also must admit that there are a few lingering reviews on much older submissions that I have not had time to get to.
Thanks for the score and the kind words, and I hope that my future submissions willl generate the same kind responses!
To World Domination and global communications!

[Access DENIED]

Nice Frame by Frame skills...

But, unfortunately, this flash had no point.

Graphics- I liked the drawings you had going on around here. The button was well drawn. The only thing you needed was some kind of background. Nevertheless, decent job on the graphics.

Style- Like I said, you have some great fbf skills. So I think you have a rather decent style here too.

Sound- The music selection was great and fitted the work nicely...until the end came near and that obnoxious sound came through. I'm guessing you put that sound in here purposely so that it would be funny. I'm sorry to say it wasn't funny but at least you did a good job on the selection of music.

Violence- The only violence I saw here was the dude throwing himself over the cliff. Apart from that, none.

Interactivity- None

Humor- Again, I didn't find this to be funny but I guess not everyone has the same sense of humor. If we all did, then....uhh....yeah. Wierd.

Overall- You have some great frame by frame skills. Use them to make many submissions. But next time, try at least making it a little bit longer, at least make it have a point, some kind of background, and if you would, take out those wierd noises because instead of making you laugh, it kinda scares you. Overall, not bad. Good luck with your future submissions.

[Windows Collab]

Sound Problems...

But other than that, great!

Graphics- (ishirm's Part) Well, I can't actually criticize the the windows that were appearing because obvioulsy, they were screenshots. Same goes for the wallpaper in the the background but the one thing I CAN criticize are the icons you drew. You drew those pretty well, so good job on that. And yeah, I know it's a Windows parody and there can't be any possible graphics you can draw but still, the icons were drawn nicely.

Graphics- (Little_Rena) The graphics were drawn poorly. I understand you were trying to do Frame by Frame animation and you did pretty good on that, but the graphics......ehh were kinda bad. Improvements: You could have added some kind of color, and have made the drawings look less roughly, if you know what I mean. Next time, try drawing the objects and characters more smoothly. But other than that, nice job on the Frame by Frame stuff.

Style- (ishirm's Part) GREAT style of putting everything together, especially the jokes and window appearances. Although the Window "paroding" might not be that orginal, you had some unique jokes going on in there. Nice job on style.

Style- (Little_Rena) Ehh....well there really wasn't much of a "style" going in here. The only thing I could judge portraying style will be the little story you had your part depend on. The story was practically dumb and looked like you thought of it like in 5 minutes. (No offense) Next time, try thinking more about what the little story is going to be about, let's say, about 10 to 15 minutes AT THE LEAST and trust me, it will be much better. work a little bit more on your concepts and plots.

Sound- (ishirm's Part) OK! Sound....It was having some difficulties. Let me explain. When the bunch of windows' appeared at once, you know the sound that occurs when some they come up, in first few, the sound lets say, sounded, but when the couple of last ones appeared, it stopped. What happened there? There was also another problem. When the mouse was going to close all of the windows that appeared, the "clicking" sound sounded before the mouse pointer went to the "X" on the window panel it was going to close on. So to say, the sound sounded right before ahead of it's time. Might want to fix that in the future.

Sound- (Little_Rena's Part) There wasn't any sound nevertheless in your piece. The only sound there was was the music. The music fitted the concept pretty good. Nice job on the selection of music.

Violence- (ishirm's Part) There wasn't any violence except for the explosion at the end.....which was of poor sound quality but nevertheless, it is considered to be violence. There can't technically be any "violence" in a Windows parody, so yeah....

Violence- (Little_Rena's Part) There wasn't any at all. But again, it's scarce to see a Windows parody with violence....so don't worry about this category.

Humor- (ishirm's Part) Ha, great humor in there. VERY NICE JOB on thinking those jokes and situations up. Keep up the good work. :)

Humor- (Little_Rena's Part) NOt meant to be harsh here, but your part wasn't funny....AT ALL. Little effort was added into this to in order for it to be funny. Next time, try thinking up of some more funny situations or jokes as ishirm did and you'll be better off in this category.

Overall- FINALLY! This review is almost done..........Anyway, many people seem to want "Windows Collab 2".......My opinion? GO FOR IT! You both have the skills to do so. Just make sure to at least follow a little bit on what I tried to stress here over this long review.........Nice Job to both of you, and good luck with your future submissions.

Little-Rena responds:

Ummm, thanks.
But like I have said, I am still learning flash.
