Renegade-Hamster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Demithyst Part 3]

Some interesting stuff beginning to happen

I like your style of graphics, but animation would be nice. I guess what you're trying to achieve is more of a "animated" comic book. That's exactly what it feels like.

Please stop the movies from looping. It's easy to do with actionscript. Select (or create) a key frame at the end of the movie, then open up the action panel for it (down the bottom of the screen , with "properties") and type this script in the text field:

stop();

Your movie will then stop on that keyframe. Then you can put a replay button there on that same keyframe if you want.

2/5 (almost a 3, but there's not much animation going on here)

[Qore Teaser]

Meh. Nothing happening.

Teasers are meant to tease. This does nothing. This shows no interesting and creative plot points, and no exciting action sequences to grab people's attention.

Try not to make a teaser unless you've made most of the movie already and just need to take a few more weeks/months polishing it.

No effort involved.

0/5

[Owned]

That was it?

It was over before I could figure out whether it was funny, interesting or thrilling. It was none of those.

Well animated, and good graphics for a stick movie. But I think you need to give more... well, not purpose, but more killing stuff. In interesting ways. As a gory action toon (that's what I think you were trying to make), this was way too short and not interesting. A guy blew up. "Owned". The End.

If you were going for something funny (maybe), then I would say the same as above, except replace "not interesting" with "not hilarious"

1/5.

[Biography: Master Chief]

Mostly funny

70 percent of this was funny. Some things were just plain dumb ("how am I supposed to win?") or predictable (grunt falling on face). Graphics were pretty good, and animation was nice.

Your Arbiter was truly bizarre (nice), and MC's mum kept changing voices! At first she sounded like an actual woman, then she sounded like a guy trying to sound like a woman, then she sounded like a guy pretending to be an old granny. Weird! Did you have a problem getting the same voice actor to do further lines?

Granted, that level did suck, which is probably your main reason for thinking it shouldn't have existed in the first place. But I think it had something to do with the Monitor's limitations/protocol in his programming that wouldn't allow him to teleport himself or anyone else to the index level, or that the teleportation grid did not run through that part of the ring.

It could even have had something to do with "interference". Cortana mentioned that when she couldn't teleport them straight to the Captain on the second last level. To me, all three make sense. Otherwise, anybody could teleport straight to the index and set off the ring(s) prematurely. There is such a thing as security. Before the Flood outbreak, that place would probably have been crawling with forerunner guards (and sentinels), but that would be a waste if you could just teleport straight past them.

Erm... I seem to have wandered a bit.

Anyway, good toon. I had a laugh.
3/5

[On The Moon (episode 4)]

And the award for the worst Australian accents...

goes to...

The Simpsons. Second place goes to Lost. But you guys came a close third.

Great graphics and animation, but I just can't find this series entertaining. It's weird, but not funny or interesting.

3/5

[Perspective XTC-07]

Well done

Good drawings, and it was great how you let them emerge, piece by piece, at a frantic pace.

Interesting to watch.

3/5

thanks dude.

[America!!]

Meh, it's been done many times before

Yours was okay, although the sync was a little off at the beginning, then got very off at the end. Set your sound setting to "stream" to keep the song playing at the same time as the cartoon.

Some people seem to have the idea that this is your song and say that you're celebrating U.S.A's shortcomings... I think they need to be reacquainted with their own sense of humour, which no doubt left them years ago due to the boredom of never being used.

2/5
