Melaisis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[(2005) NotYorFriendAnymor]

Balance, mans.

There's a huge quality improvement in picture and sound since your last flash. The animation runs a lot smoother, and it's obvious you've been practising your claymation and motion.

However, just as one thing gets better, another gets worse (and I'm not talking about the pre-loader which looks like something ripped straight from Jim Henderson Studios). I'm talking about the humour. The quality of it overall has dropped greatly. I know what you must of been feeling at the time though, you have some great new claymation making equipment, but not script. So you make one up quickly, as if it's been forced on by no inspiration what so ever.

Basically, it's turned into a daytime American sitcom. The balance is uneven on the comedy side, now. But, you're getting there. I like it just as much as the next guy, but it's not up to your usual standard.

Kekekeke

I loved it. Every single minute. It was so true, too.

I'll vote five, just to see it on the front page.

(Also, you left out the annoying loops of crappy dance music no one has ever heard of, but I'll let it slide)

Sir-CannabisClock responds:

heh, glad you liked it, thanks for the 5

[EmoLifeStyle2]

I actually really liked it

I didn't take it seriously, though. I just thought it was incredibly satire. It know about poesur emos who think it's cool to be lame. I don't need a flash about it, I doubt anybody else does, either.

However, as an animation in itself, I did really like it. Clear (and somewhat appropriate) music. Nice, smooth movements of the characters and whatnot (especially the text in the very beggining).

I liked it. But that's because I didn't take it seriously and I looked at the pretty people.

[A Men's Room Monologue]

Gasp!

Some new, fresh comedy which isn't about Bush?

IMPOSSIBLE!

Anyway, it was very, very nicely done. The humour (like everyone else has said) was original and so true. The animations were clear and not over-the-top. The opening music was very nice, and not some pointless heavy metal crap which everyone else just loves to put in their own flashes.

Very nice. Very nice indeed.

[Jewel:- Foolish Games]

Talents wasted.

The animation itself was awesome. The graphics, the sound, the general feeling. I'd say that the animation in this is better than seventy-five percent of the crap in the "Top" Fifty.

However, I do agree with Del on story of this one. No one cares about anyone's emo antics. They should go see a counsellor or something about it instead of wasting a good hour or ten working on a flash about it. It's been done before. Let it die. Let it die.

Or, just get a writer.

[Leave It To Bush #001]

Very nice!

The humour was fresh and original (which is hard to find in a flash about Bush), and the graphics were better than most of the crap in the Top Fifty. I really liked it.

The sound was a tiny bit iffy, though. But that's just probably my speakers.

[Fantastic Realm Chapter 1]

Well...

It wasn't a bad effort. I think everyone rated this entry so highly was because of the excellent animation and overall art. However, even these parts of the flash weren't really up to "Top of All Time" standard. Look at the graphics on There She Is or even Bitey of Brackenwood. They're much better.

Secondly, the storyline was as shallow as Shallow McShallow of Shallow University, Shallowton. It reminded me somewhat of Scooby Doo. The dialogue was simply boring.

That said, it wasn't a bad job, considering. But in the Top 50 of All Time? Nuh uh.

[The Matrix Downloaded]

Yay for LF!

Nice work you lot. As usual, I only found Legendary Frog's funny, but that's all right. The graphics in all were superb as always, etc, etc. And you all managed to get the sound right, too. Huzzah!

Huzzah.

[[Early Work] Interview]

xD

It didn't make me laugh, but it made me smile, which is a good and rare thing. A very classy piece of work. I like the style, too; I haven't seen anything like that since Classic All Your Base.

Keep it up.
