BMack24's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dork Lessons]

not bad

the animation and stuff was pretty nifty, i just hope this doesn't violate the 'must not simply be an ad for your site' rule.

also, i don't believe you guys are truly dorks. dorks don't have girlfriends that hot.

DaDocta responds:

Yea I hope so too lol.. I just thought it might be a cool submission

[First Strike Four]

what??

this was... painful. i couldn't even watch the whole thing. the animation was bad and the writing was just terrible. besides just not making a lick of sense overall, i couldn't tell at first if it was trying to be funny or serious. it seems in lieu of actual jokes, you just throw in a lot of unnecessary cussing. though there was the 'hardon' comment, which i'm pretty sure you ganked from tankmen. cursing can be funny if done right (see metal gear awesome...) but it just wasn't here. work on the writing next time, seriously. god-awful.

LichCoil responds:

Yes funny and serious was part of idea when I did it. But yes, you got a point. I'll consider it in the future. Oh and jokes, yes probably I should do some proper jokes. The focus on this 'project' was for a rough idea of a storyline and somehow making each scene somewhat related to the next. Jokes I really didnt focus on, but in the next one Ill see if I can think of a few clever things. I admit I didnt bother trying anything with the intentions to make anyone laugh.

[Marshie The Mallow]

not that bad

pretty good bit of fbf, but way too short and pointless. also, the name marshie is taken, and it's also the name of a marshmallow. but maybe you knew that, i dunno.

ChilliDog responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review.

[The Hanging Collab]

how delightfully clever

it's a montage of cliffhangers! i liked it, good job. but how come some arcs were finished but others were left unresolved?

ShirkDeio responds:

Thanks, I thought it was a good idea.

The idea could be developed more, as you have noticed that the ideas didn't tie in together, nor did some of the parts get resolved. This is something that will be thought about if and when the Hanging Collab 2 is started (no promises).

It also depends on how you define resolved--the blob in Trekopep's Treasure Island bit sank to the bottom of the ocean--was that a resolution? Ryan094's skater fell off a cliff, is that resolved? MrGlad's guy was almost run over--that was definitely not resolved =p

Thanks for the review!

[Paladin's Quest Trailer]

not that you should change it but..

the title may cause some people to accuse you of ripping off a certain established, respected series already on ng. i hope the style and plot will make this distinct.

also, the voice acting could use some tweakage, but others have made that clear. so hurry up with that first episode!

sbigmang23 responds:

I've watched that series you mentioned. Trust me. The similarities stop at the name. My story has nothing to do with zombies and the like.

And thanks for pointing out the voice problem. I wanted to make it loud enough so I didn't have to use subtitles, but I guess I went a little overboard...

[Dumbledore is Gay]

how have i not reviewed this yet?

i favorited it a long time ago. oh well. anyway, the review: i'm a potter fan, and i found this freakin' hilarious. 'yes, sweet child. exactly as i say... sniiiiiifff... mm.' classic. people be needin to get a sense o humor up in here.

i'd hate to see what he planned to do to harry...

RSQViper responds:

I couldn't animate what he did to Harry for fear that the FBI would come for me.

[Stickman Begins]

COM

PRESS. your audio! compress it! i know there's steps for doing so somewhere on ng. do that next time. the file size is inexcusable for a crappy stick flash like this.

useful responds:

Thanks for advice, but you didnt have to call it a crappy stick flash i'm no pro just testing the functions of flash before i get serious on a bigger project. But thanks for the tip about the audio , will look it up

[Indiana Stick]

how to compress audio:

1) double click on the sound in question in the library
2) set "Compression" to "MP3"
3) set "Quality" to "Best"
4) set "Bit Rate" to the lowest possible setting that doesn't completely kill the sound quality.
5) use the "Test" button in the top right and repeat step 4 as many times as necessary.
6) make sure the "Convert stereo to mono" box is checked (unless it's grayed out)
7) click OK

also the actionscript command "stopAllSounds();" is something else you should look into. i'll let you figure out what to do with that.

MonkeyBoyAnimations responds:

That helped so much, thank you ver much =]

[how not to die driving]

passable i guess

the animation was ok but the voice was kind of annoying. and at first i thought it was part of the more successful and funnier 'how to not die' series by bodie. dunno if you've heard of it or not, just saying.

ninjitashistory responds:

yeah i ve heard of it but i just came up whit an idea of a "driving course" thing,shorted it up add animation and looked for a cool name ,how not to die driving is best than leaning how to drive whit mister white stickman(the firt name i thinked).

[Network Man 1 UPDATED]

what?

why no animation? you could at least have moved the view from one frame to the next, with voiceovers and music or something. does this even go to the next page without one having to right click and click forward? i just don't think this is the type of things that should be on ng.

adama14 responds:

I appreciate your views, but this is meant to be a webcomic, not a flash animation.
