Surfer-Clock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Molecular Biology]

Hmm....this is deep...

The comment on the fromt page enlightens it a bit, but I think it's best to just appriciate your work without looking too far in. I can dig.

We need more theological and scientific minded Flash out there. Flash that gratifies only after much thought...and yet, it's best to not think about the meaning. Open to much interpretation, though. It's good stuff, even if its littered with gradients. You're supposed to be looking past the graphics, anyhow. ^_^

[3 FEATHERS AND A RAINWORM]

Wow, professional quality!

The shakiness really added to the effect! I felt like I was a critic at a film festival. This movie was excellent, definitely enter this into any movie/animation festivals you can! Your method of storytelling was a refreshing break and a trip back in time to when movies only needed a bit of music to share its story. Thanks for putting this on here!

[A Squirrels Life]

Pretty good, I suppose.

You have a very smooth animation style. The movie was decent, had a plot line of sorts... overall, not too bad. As the last reviewer said, there is definitely room for improvement. Keep practicing with Flash, you can make good stuff with persistance.

[Donkey Kong Lifts Mario]

Pretty good...

Lots of sounds effects added to what would otherwise be a mediocre submission. Good stuff.

[Dance Dance]

Not that great...

Your excecution is pretty good, but you put way too much into this for one simple joke. You should have focused on more jokes. Overall, a decent short, but it lacks that special something. I'll give you a 2 out of 5, but you should work on improving your style, humor, and research...the DDR arrows go Left, Down, Up, Right.

[The Matrix Still Has You]

Good, not as good as the first, though...

A few of the shorts really lacked on the humor, but you did say these shorts were more focused...focused on what? The segment's representation? The authoring of each segment? Each author's unique style? Being vague like that doesn't do much justice for those who want to know the point that drives some of the 'slower' segments. Are we supposed to be looking for accuracy...?

Oh, and you forgot to credit the use of 'Spin the disc' from DDR on the AOL bit of the Agent Training segment.

Overall, it was pretty good. 56K users all over are crying over loading speed, though. ^_^;

[Great Yoshi Migration 4]

It's a bit better...

You always get your best ideas at the very end...this had to be the best one of them all. Finally, it's over. Can't say it's been a good ride, but definitly one of the weirder ones...you finished the series nicely.

[The ant and the dragon]

Decent little short...

It was fantastically drawn and all, but it lacked a lot of substance and feeling. I know, it's a short, quick visual gag, and everyone laughs...I sort of chuckled too, but I was left feeling kind of empty afterwards...oh well.

The drawings, heck, the general graphics showing was spectacular, truly an incredible feat in Flash! It just lacked a good plot. I'm not saying that I hated it at all...I like it, and that's all I can do. You've got my 3 easier than anything else today.

And I know you have longer stuff, but I'm on a slow computer...so...I'll give them a look when my connection speeds up.

Lambi responds:

well, as long as you liked it, thats good to hear

[Tomorrow's Nobodies Ep.1]

The New TN! It's good...

I'm glad that the crew behind the comical genius that is Tomorrow's Nobodies has decided to make a few changes to the series, adding in a new animator and drastically improving the script. It makes for some exciting possibilities! Retarded Animal Babies 10 may have won the daily competition for this episode, but let Dave try and release #11 when you get Episode 2 out. You would surely win then. Now, for this episode, here's my review of each element...

Graphics- 10/10 - I think this needs no further explination. The guys got a makeover, and man is it good. Quite a refreshing change from the old style, wouldn't you say?

Sound- 8/10 - The lip syncing was right on time, but as other users have noticed, some of the audio did lag at the end. The voices of other characters were pretty clever, seeing as the voice acting was done by 3 people. Pretty good.

Style- 9/10 - The introduction of a new style means a few drastic changes which I didn't take very kindly to on my first viewing. I then downloaded it to my computer and watched a few more times after that and realized that the new style wasn't all that bad.

Humor- 7/10 - Some of the humor that made TN unique among the many NG series was cut for some fresh jokes and gags...some of this humor was good, but others weren't that good at all. Only a small amount was bad enough to be filed under 'Lame', but this had its moments.

Keep on working with the new style, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the second episode. To old fans wanting the old humor: Don't give up on the series. You guys got it this far, right? It's only proper of you to stick with it! Great work, guys. For anwsers to any questions fans might have about the episode, series, or you just want to chat it up with fellow TN fans, check out the TN website! You won't regret it.

[zelda, behind the legend]

Marvelous!!

Don't listen to what those other twats were saying, this is an excellent production! There was a megaton serving of humor, an original concept, and a unique style of animation that must have taken them so long to get right! Many people may bash the graphics, or the storyline, but they're both a fresh breath of air for Newgrounds. I seriously hope that none of these half-wit reviewers discourage you, because this is definitely a Flash masterpiece!!

yeah okay mate, seems like most people have a hard time accepting movies with a diffrent storyline then random guys killing each other, and cute graphics instad of sprite, stick, or Dbz..I'm not discouraged, all my movies in my movie list are like this, it's my style, my soul, my..whatever..If i would try to do a stick-sprite- dbz movie it would only suck, and i wouldn't like it for a second..
