Nicro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skull in Connemara]

Wow

Your style is pure awesomeness. This is art. Im glad there are still ppl on Newgrounds who aren t making senseless mainstreamcrap.

TheBoogley responds:

Hey! Some of my best friends are senseless mainstream crap :D

[Role-Play Heroes]

Well..

... not bad but not really THAT funny. In fact there were only two or three scenes where I lost a grin. And that "we're so German" in the intro wasn't funny at all, your "the american flag in the background has no political meaning" looks like a joke after seeing that. Hm, will there be a time where no nation will have to fight with stereotypes ? When will especially American dumbasses stop laughing about flashes where you see Am. Soldiers killing ...Afghans ? Jokes about other nations are not funny.

Klausselhoff responds:

Well as you may have noticed..or probably not...I am German myself und the "we're so German" refers to our unmistakable accents.(my former nick was Klaus_the_German_Guy). Ich hoffe die Begründung reicht aus. ansonsten...naja...ist es mir eigentlich auch egal. Nichts für ungut.

[Ballad Inure]

Well well

Your artworks are quite nice, but your animations..... arent. I dont know why, but the battle seemed to be a way too slow and there were too much "screen effects" - the main parts of the fight havent been shown or were replaced by some cheap effects. All you showed us were some scenes whith your heros flying around and the scenes _after_ they smashed the enemy. The interesting part of it is missing. But ... of course it wasnt something anyone could seriously call "bad".

GoshaDole responds:

I believe that some of the transitions I decided to use in this piece, at times, were not appropriate. I'm glad you liked it otherwise.

[Zelda: Don Keyote 2]

Hmpf..

Seriously, how can something like that be overrated like THAT ? All that was done here was a crappy sync, all the graphics are recorded from the game. It s the flash movie section, not a game trailer section.

TX2 responds:

Overrated? Wow... the score still hasn't gone down yet?

and there was a lot of aspects of flash that were very important to making this movie. Some of them were smaller than others, but they were important to this movie none the less. there are a variety of different things that can be done with flash if your curious enough to try.

Also, I love that "Hmpf." That just says it all.

[Gordon vs. Evil]

Nice

Buuut ... actually both were evil. What makes Gordon better than this little red thing ? She cheated right at the beginning of the race :>.

Skaijo responds:

I'm glad you caught that. I added touches of irony throughout this short animation. For example, the first touches of evil come from Gordon, who's supposed to represent good--but as a human, can only be an amalgamation of both good and a evil. Hence, Gordon is an heterogenous character that viewers still relate to simply because she's human--and represents a mild dark side that falls within all of us. Another hint of irnoy can be noted in the fact that Evil was the only "beast" to shed tears.

I peppered all kinds of nuances, motifs, and off-the-wall references in this flash (from angel imprints on Gordon's pants to a "Jennifer Willbanks was here" sign) and I appreciate anyone's efforts in finding them and pointing them out. ^^

[Prelude to Joy]

-.-

wth was that ? I know, sometimes it s funny to see senseless stuff but I guess you can overdo it - sry nothing for me.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Clearly.
