cykotiq's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Me vs Slime]

Too bad

Your artistic talents show off in the drawing style, up to the point where you decided to spraypaint the slime all over the screen in a hurried way. Take a bit more time for your next movie, I feel that you took your time to start this and rushed through it towards the end after that.

MYLO-9000 responds:

Thanks for you honest review of my toon, and you are right. I did start out slowly but then rushed the end. i'll try to make my next toon more consistent. thanks

[Paper Animation]

LOL, what kinda school are you in?

It looks artsy, there's even some kind of story added to this! I like it, can't say a lot more about it actually!

maximus-prime responds:

tnx,

I study Communication&Multimedia Design, so for webdesign and stuff we learn flash. But I like animation so I already knew a little flash.

[Skater stick]

give me some aspirin

i'm having a terrible case of déjà vu... but then again, every stick skating movie is the same, isn't it? Anyway, the animation was quite nice, the movie itself very unoriginal. And short! Make it longer, add a skater soundtrack, "fully animate" the stick, add some sort of background, use more colors... there's a lot of room for improvement.

live-n-let-die responds:

ok thanks for the ideas

[bacon, bitch!]

Trailer > Movie

Well, this probably is the first movie with a trailer longer than the actual movie. Which altogether is very short anyway. The graphics are pretty good, the soundtrack is okay (although I couldn't hear 'bitch' clearly), the story is stupid but somehow made me laugh anyway.

GameCubeClock responds:

thanks for the review. well it was actually a music video, and the second part was going to me like.. an easter egg, but then people would miss the egg and blam it :(

[How to vote]

Uh-oh, it's the sizewhiner!

The "story" behind this was quite good, the graphical artwork was okay, the music itself was good although the sound quality was crap. But why oh why was this a 2.6 MB movie?

Juushiro responds:

Well, the reason its was 2.6 mb was the music if ou read what I put, this is only my third flash and I haven't really learned how to compress music, sorry about that.

[Making of Zelda Movie]

Great story!

This movie is great! Apart from the sublime story, I like your graphical style, it's really a style of your own which makes it special. The voices were pretty good and very understandable. It was good, clean fun watching this. And I'm willing to fund this movie so it can be produced after all ;-) Well done!

MetalMaverick responds:

You don't need to worry about funding it, I just found a quarter in the couch. I should be fine. Thanks for the review though.

[The Boot: The Sequel]

artsy

Like I said: artsy. Quite strange though, it somehow reminded me of Monty Python. I'm not sure whether to like this movie or not. Graphics are original, music was hardly noticed. The story was quite entertaining, yet it has a weird feel. The black/white thing is what made this movie art-nouveau-ish. Well, it was okay, nothing more. I guess I'm just not into this type of movies.

Panerome responds:

to each his own i guess. thanks for not just say "it sucked" and giving it a 0 though, yah the sound was pretty quiet i wanted to keep the file size low, maybe i should warn people to raise the volume up.

[One day in Mario World]

Pretty original

1.2MB was quite a heavy download for a connection like mine, so I was hoping it would be worth it. I liked the fact that you used Hampton's Mario remix for this movie, you don't see that quite often. In fact I liked all soundtracks, which were of high quality (which explains the file size?). There were quite some cameo's in this movie, which I liked as well. The outcome was quite surprising, just like the rest of the movie. But, like always, it's not all fame and glory. The text balloons were "quick" and seemed rushed. They could've matched the original Mario World theme a bit more. Also, sometimes the action halts a bit too much, it went by a tad bit to slow. Nevertheless I don't regret waiting for this movie to download, because I enjoyed it fairly much. Only one more thing... what the hell does Feito por: «¶»|Ñ@ÑÐØ|=[Ï¥§]«©» mean?

BlackerOuT responds:

Feito por «¶»|Ñ@ÑÐØ|=[Ï¥§]«©»
is my NICKNAME in ICQ
Feito is MADE BY

The file size is heavly becouse the sound quallity!

[A Cow's Melody]

how to sync

First of all, I like this movie. The graphics are pretty good. Maybe a tad bit short, and not much of a movie altogether, but still it was okay to look at. Also I couldn't understand the song completely, so I'm afraid I missed out on a joke or two. Never mind about that. I won't say that the cows' lips are out of sync, as you might have noticed yourself by now. Instead, I'll teach you how to sync: import the sound clip and use "Stream" instead of "Event". This way, you can "scrub" the sound (scroll through the timeline and listen to the music). Good luck with your next projects!

samus-mcmanus responds:

thanks for the help dude

[FANTASTIC shootout =)]

Good but not great

First of all, I'm glad to see that someone has put some effort in making a movie! The graphics were okay, not top-notch but very acceptable. Just like the sounds, which get a bit repetitive after a while, but hey, it's a shootout! I liked to see it, although there is room for improvement (as there is always).
I know you've tried to keep down the filesize, but a soundtrack (even a short loop from time to time) would freshen things up for sure. Also I'd like to see some facial expressions in a possible new version. Finally, this movie needs some kind of plot, a story of some kind. Even if it's only a short introductional (is that even a word?) story to this shootout.
So far my views on improvement, just keep 'em coming and I'll be watching!

BazzMann responds:

an appropriate title would be "above Mediocre but not fantastic..." but i like your style better! =) Sorry I havnt replied to any of the comments for a few days, but i am about 3/4 of the way through my new, improved story-movie. Im not going to say too much, just that it has a (slightly repetative) original loop, and Bill Gates, who's mad as hell! Thanks for the review... my new movie will be out soon!
