Gravey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[KINGS]

Very Nice...

I love the concept and design of this movie. The background music was well done as well. Nice to have a movie without some annoying, thumping electro dance theme playing.

My only problem is the fact that there is no background. Maybe you wanted it that way. But I think this would be much better with a little background art and movement. Maybe having the chess match at a home or something. Then it switches to a medieval cathedral when the battle scene begins. Or something like that.

But overall, this is a nice flash entry. 4/5 and 8/10 from me man. Nice work.

Interesting...

The art was terrible. But the animation was actually good, and the random violent parts made me smile more than once. Especially when the one stick man throws the other one and says, "Shut the fuck up!" I'm not sure why, but I rather enjoyed that. 4/5 and 7/10. Mainly because the art was terrible. But not terrible.

Thank you

Its about time someone said what needed to be said about this whole incident. Kanye West is a little bitch and this sums his attitude up perfectly. This was perfect and I thank you for making this movie.

[The Last Hero]

Brilliant

This flash was amazing. Congratulations to you I say, because you have proven to me that you are one of the best flash artist on Newgrounds. Everything that makes a flash great was present in this film. Superb animation. Very fluid and smooth. It made the movie easy to watch and your drawings were incredible. Extraordinary artwork. The music in the background was none other than perfect. It fit the mood, movie, and style that you were trying to portray. Perfect choice for this movie. I liked the fairies or fireflies that you had flying around early on, they were neat. I also like how at tense moments you had percussive music to back it up. Like when he was having the nightmare of the horseman and the music started getting darker and more mysterious and then became very percussive for a moment. Unbelievable work man. I am totally amazed with this. Please make more. I am waiting, very impatiently I might add, on the second part of this movie. Phenominal work and great job. Best of luck to you in your future flash movies.

Really good

I'm really not into dark flashes such as this one. But you are very talented and not finishing this would be a shame. You are an amazing artist. I wish I could draw like you. Just phenominal artwork. Your animation is also very accomplished. And you have a certain touch with this animation that makes it feel totally original. And that is a good thing. If I were you I would take a month off cause you are frustrated as you said. Take a break and let it sit for a while, then finish it at a later date. I would love to see a finished version of it, and I think you owe it to yourself to complete this movie. Its just too good to let it end like that. And if you can't get a loadbar in it ask someone to help you. There are plenty of people at Newgrounds that would gladly help you out with such a small task considering what a great movie this is. And if you can't find anyone to help there are tutorials that you can look up at Newgrounds as well. I'm just giving you some suggestions. Great job here and I look forward to seeing more from you. Good luck with your future flash movies.

Thanks man. I wish I could finish it. I was working on the last scene and my system crashed thus corrupting the original fla. file. All that I had to show was the swf. that I previewed the night before.

[Arch & Toast]

oookaaaaayyyyy.......

I'm lost man. Help me out. What was this about exactly? He plans on going outside for the day and next thing you know he's all sliced up in the chair dead. I'm confused at what the message is. I would really appreciate a reply to if you would because I love your animation and everything. Its just I don't understand the story line here (Or lack of one.) and I'm really interested in knowing what this is actually about. Your artwork was very good. You are a talented artist and the sound was fine. There wasn't a lot of sound or effects but I think what you had was appropriate for this movie. Original work here for sure. I liked it to be honest, even though I didn't catch the total concept of the movie. Good work here but please explain this for me. Keep it up and best of luck to you in your future flash movies.

It's supposed to ask questions, not give answers. :/

Tons of potential but.....

thats all. Your animation was pretty cool. I liked it a lot. And the sound effects were good, but they were overused. You need to find some more sound effects that are different that way its not the same few over, and over, and over again. I didn't like how the voices were in a language other than English but I'm guessing you don't live in a country where English is the predominant language. Thats not a bad thing, it just makes it a little more difficult for some of us to catch exactly what the intent is. Like, why did he say, "It my time now!" throughout the movie? Was that his little slogan or something? The subtitles weren't that bad. Normally when someone says in their Authors Comments.... "Please forgive my English." They are completely off. But yours were not that bad. I do like your animating style a lot and I hope you keep up the good work. With more sound effects and better background music this would have been really good. Oh, and by the way, I loved it when the old lady got wacked several times. I laughed everytime she got decked. That was great stuff. Well good luck with your future movies.

Thanks!! Maybe I can to do better!
