KupaMan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Negative 001 - The Call]

Pretty nice job

The art was pretty good. I'm not really a fan of anime, though, so that may be why I'm not orgasming over it. The plot and characters seem pretty generic and cliché. Oh well. It was put together pretty well. The next installment should be darker and inlovle more gradients and shadows. This series may actually work better as a black and white than a color series. Just a thought. I want to see the next episode just to see where this story's going.

[Ambush!]

Really great flash

Obvious talent here. Very cute artwork. Very fitting of the Kirby world. This was a nice start for an animator. Nice anything for an animator. What I mean by that is that, if this is your first flash and it's this good, then I can't wait for what your future in flash will look like. Amazingly smooth and very enjoyable for people who aren't even fans of the Kirby series. Great job. I want more stuff like this.

[Survivor: Hyrule]

Awesome

The art was awesome. I loved it. The sound was really loud and painfully pitched. The flash itself was too short. It was a great flash, I just wanted more. You need to do some sort of full-fledged 10-15 minute Zelda parody flash. Those character designs were great. Thanks.

[Lord of the Clocks pt. 1a]

Rad

That was the best Clock/LOTR parody I've ever seen. Definately the nicest clock flash I've ever seen. The narration was hilarious considering it was so serious, but was the most unserious script. I was happy to not hear any Text-to-Speech things, though it wouldn't have hurt it too bad if there was. All the sound effects and audio editing was splendid. A few times the sound effect didn't fit perfectly, but that's okay. The idea was brilliant. I liked how Ki10 wore the 0 like tha ring as well as the dead flash in the cave. The menu and opening things were very nice as well. It was very nicely polished which made me happy. StrangeClock, you're making me like clock flash a lot more. First with the 21 O' Clock Street movies and now with this. Great job. I can't wait for the next one.

[Objectionable Apparatus]

One of my favorites

As opposed to writing this as a complement to the author, I'll write it as a full-blown review:

This flash is one of the most creative and eerie to ever be showcased on Newgrounds. Kol-Belov utilizes flash's shape and motion tweens to the best I've ever seen. The cleaver and creative transitions make the whole thing seamlessly flow into a perfectly executed conclusion. Using a rather underrated color pallet, Kol-Belov gave the flash an even more unique feel that set it apart from many others in its genre. The black, well-fitting tar like blood which seemed to leak from everything in this cartoon achieved a really interesting look. It's almost a relief that nigh nothing of this flash could be understood for it would alter its curious feel. Objectionable Apparatus was nearly perfect, safe for the sound quality which would sometimes cause the audio track to crackle and mildly spoil the experience. The music - despite its lower quality - was perfectly fitting in every frame.

Aside from the audio quality, not much could be changed to make this cartoon any better than it already was. It's a mystery as to why its score isn't higher. This flash receives an overall score of 10/10.

Okay, that's enough from me. This is going into my favorites.

[Transitions Episode 1]

Well done

Nice, smooth artwork. Great character design. Awesome visual effects, mostly during the fight scene. The only thing I didn't like visually (which most people do when dropping the alpha) is seeing the remnance of the other pieces of the character doel through the characters who were semi-transparent. That's an often occuring pet peeve I have. The sound was great. The only thing I didn't like was the logo at the beginning's Hawk/Eagle call. It was painful to hear. As a minor suggestion, please convert that STAR WARS logo used at the beginning into a smooth flash symbol instead of an image like it was. It makes it look bad and pixelly and raises the filesize (not by much, but more than a nicer looking flash version of it would). Overall, great job. I hope these come out frequently.

Brand-new-hero responds:

thanks for the two suggestions! i will take that logo one and run with it and see what i can do - as for the Rise logo eagle call - when you see it just dip the volume and bring it up again after its gone because i cant change that now it'll cause an inconsistency in the work. Sorry ur ears rang.

[Tentacle Monsters]

Pretty cool

It was a little too short. I was hoping for something more at the end. Oh well. You made up for it by using Stickshifts and Safety Belts; a song made by the greatest band ever (Cake). Anyway, if you make another similar flash, make it longer and use more Cake songs.

[The Little Girl]

Kind of a good story...

But I didn't really like the artwork. It could have been much better. The music was good. This flash's score is too high for what it is. Sorry.

[Unglued]

Awesome

Lots of cool ideas and stuff. Great weapons. dead-on animation. The only thing I can complain about (which isn't really a complaint per-say) is that it was almost too chaotic and too much was going on for me to keep an eye on. Either way, awesome flash. A lot of the time, though, I felt bad for some of the stick figures. A lot of them were doing good, but would then get this cheap shot or were parred against someone with tenfold the fire power. Anyway, keep 'em up. I loved this. I shall add this to a collection.

[Take On Me]

Pretty cool

I just saw Reel Big Fish live in concert and they did this song. It sounds better live. Nice job on the flash. Lots of cool stuff. Nice looking effects on most of them. I wish it had a higher score. It deserves a higher score than this. Even though collaborations are getting old, this was still fun to watch. Thumbs up to you guys.
