Knives's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[$$$ Dr Sex Money $$$]

Tasteless

The quality was lacking a little in the flash, and the humor simply didn't appeal to me. Although I do agree foamy is over rated.

[Blerf]

Nicely done.

Fantastic quality in terms of animation,vocals,execution.

The sound was great as well. A little more story would of made the submission more complete, but as far as random blood guts and gore movies go it was great.

Nicely done.

aap responds:

Well, yeah, a good story won't fit in a movie like this, haha. Thanks for your review. :)

[Devil Reloaded]

Not bad but needs some work.

The video quality looked really compressed, you might want to see if you can other methods of compression for better video quality, and the sound quality was also lacking minorly.

Other then those factors the movie itself was a great short. The ending was nice.

The only problem I have with the animation itself is that it looks very stiff. If you take your time I'm sure you can make the character look more "alive".

Good work.

[Vire and Lenin]

Great work.

To be honest I was expecting another shit submission, seeing as I've never seen your work before it started out pretty suspicious. But it got really good, real fast.

What stood out the most was the writing and the drawing. You do a great job of taking a small amount of frames but having those frames combined with the great writing and audio quality play out very nicely.

I enjoyed it. Nicely done.

[Temptations of a Teenager]

Not bad for a first flash.

You did good with the sounds and the appropriate background music, as most submissions of the first caliber tend to be soundless tweening effects without a preloader.

The drawing was "OK" to say the least, the bus could of been done in more detail, over all you had the right idea but the entire thing felt rushed.

It wasen't bad, but I think if you take your time you could really pump out some good flash.

haha thanks yea i kno the entire thing was rushed, because it was a school project, i had less than 2 weeks to make 2 movies and a character in clay, plus all my other subjects. im going to make some more movies and really take my time and try and improve, thanks for the feedback

[Power Star 4]

Absolutely an amazing work of art. Bravo.

You have taken the sprite genere to a level previously unseen by newgrounds. Never in my time on newgrounds (many years) have I witness such a flawless execution of crucial elements that form a perfect movie. Everything about this movie is completely flawless, the story, the sound, the animation, the nostalgia, and the execution of all these elements put together.

Very few movies have ever gotten an emotional response from me, but a sprite movie, a sprite epic created by you literally stopped me in my tracks for a brief moment in sincere appreciation for such a fantastic creation.

The story was so simple, but so well executed I was left speechless my friend. The voice acting was some of the best I've ever heard on newgrounds. You made great use of blurs and lighting effects, great use of sprites and awesome modification to the stock sprites.

I hope you take a moment and watch the movies you've created pretending you've never seen them before, you deserve to witness the creative potential you possess from my point of view.

I'm very happy you decided to end it the way you did, closure is often one of the most over looked and ignored beauty of a series. You ended it, but it will always live on. I am going to pass this movie along to as many as I can, you have truly earned a spot among the best animiators in newgrounds, and you truely stand next and with perxicide in terms of sprite animation and story telling.

Animation is your talent, never abandon it.

[TF2 Gun Sounds!]

Absolutely Delightful

This is a very unique submission, I must say the song sounded fantastic and the production quality, although not as high as it should of been, was understandably acceptable seeing you were having problems with the flash conversion.

Great work.

[Skittles N' Dickz]

It was alright.

Some of the snippets had some excellent quality to them, great work with sprites. A few of them weren't as high in quality but it didn't really degrade the experience too much.

I did enjoy a few of the jokes, and some of the randomness put in made it rather enjoyable to watch.

[Can't Reach The End]

Not bad needs improvement.

The running of the stick figures needs to be looked at. Try to make it look a little more real. (Yeah I know it's a stick figure but you can do better) Also the appendages (arms legs) could be designed to animate a little differently as well.\

i really liked the use of sound and both the effects and the music added points to the submission.

However you should draw a background even if it's simple. Even if it's just a detailed static background much like you see in old games like megaman X or castlevania. It would of gotten you a 7 or 8 with me.

So consider the backgrounds and I'll be looking forward to your next submission.

[Biology vs. Chemistry]

Great Flash.

I really enjoyed the voice acting and found the entire thing very entertaining and completely unique.

Work on the fluidity of your animation and improve your sound volume so it all blends better. (IE the voice actors being a little loud and the sound effects being too soft or vise versa)

Nicely done.

Blakant responds:

Okay, I admit Im not that good in SFX & stuff. Plus, DBZ sfx rlly hard to get. Cant find em anywere, so I have to record the SFX from some movies in the web for it including DBZ game. LOL
