omegafinal's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Mario bros Z ep.7 (old series)]

Excellent Episode

Even though it has been 16 months, this episode showed that you've grow in skill since the last one. The increased use of 3D effects showed it.

For the most "I want it ASAP" crowd (Which I am not, but I do know some that are), the length of this well made up for it (which is maybe two or three episodes worth crammed into one?). It was to the point where I though, "Is it going to end? Please don't let it yet." In the end, I'm glad that this "Minus World" story arc is contained into one episode, because helped set up the next one.

For the old school flavor, the switch to 8-bit is great, the redesigned sprites as well...and the sound effects of that world too. I especially like the backstory of the Minus World.

If I have to give out one negative comment, it is that seeing a smooth vectorized arm cannon with Mecha Sonic's pixelated sprite strikes me as very odd, especially since we see it as a pixelated sprite on the side view.

Overall, I like it, and I will be looking forward to the next episode. And release the next one soon (as in not another 16+ months. Wanna know what's evil? Releasing the next one in 15.9 months, because it is technically released in less than 16 months). If not, C'est la vi.

[2008| Meet the Spy]

Great adaptation

Just the simple fact that it has the similar feel of the official "Meet the..." videos made this fun to watch.

[TLOD 2: meet the princess]

One of the more uniquely made Zelda parodies

I remember the moment I saw the first episode, I knew it was going to be a rather special Zelda fan flash. The simple stick figure-esque art, the off beat humor that took the basic storyline down a twisted demented path. It's great.

I noticed some elements are improved over the last one. It's longer, which is a good thing here. You also got better control over the audio, I didn't really notice any pops like in the last one.

[12 FU's Of Newgrounds]

Great and Ironic to see this here

You brought up a lot of great points, such as "this is gay" reviews, "cool" videos that are ironically terrible and immature, and the endless submission of porn/hentai quizzes (I remember that actually happened for a few days or so in the past). Although I think the adult/mature section is legit, since places like FYE have sections like those. At least Newgrounds doesn't parade it, and it's just a small link, unlike the larger FLASH PORTAL buttons.

Although the slow servers are in the past, and I occasionally get those server errors.

The blamming system I remember back then had a dedicated BLAM button, which I would've been more useful (obviously the mods would check the blammed flashes first before deleting it).

The rating system I actually wish it was more fine-tuned than its "None, Mild Excessive", and that reviewers can actually vote to see if the rating is appropriate for the flash or maybe even the reviewers choosing the rating as well. Obviously something that has to be beta-tested and all that.

I have to say, putting this up here takes a lot of guts, since some of the reviewers here are brutal for the wrong reasons or just plain mean. Not to mention that this is an insult to the community to some.

PS: I am a fan of your "12 FUs" series.

Awesome to see a fan here. thanks for your input

[NEW LIFE- English version]

Nicely done

I've seen the original, so I knew what to expect from here. The story is simple and straight to the point. The voices are pretty good like the original. But I can't believe you didn't try recreating the credit sequence!

SOMNAMBULA responds:

bacause this is the credits and this is non-informative... IMHO

[Naked With Apes]

Excellent

It's great to see this again with some of the extended content. The humor is still there. The artwork is still how I remember it, although I wished that it was touched up in a few parts, such as Ether's humpback. The audio in some parts sounded like it's breaking apart, but that's only in the parts where they are were loud. It's still decent.

Overall, I still remember this as one of the funniest Flash videos I've seen back in the day. And it was thanks to a couple of friends who showed it to us at one of the computer labs in high school.

[Elevator Action++]

Great video!

Excellent use of the original 8-bit audio added to the experience for someone who remembers this game fondly.

[A Gothic Holiday Tale]

Ironically twisted

A very somber story, but I really like the twist at the two endings. The atmosphere is also very well done.

Daystorm responds:

Thanks...! I've been on this exploration of twisted irony for the past two years. You can find more in my webcomic at the-retriever.com :)

[Super Hero Clock]

The most unique Clock movie to date

You had the guts to create some totally different, and it turned out with great success. This might trigger the start of the next generation of Clocks.
