templest's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Fly Who Loved Me]

Uh...

No, really. Roger Moore? I want a written, signed, proof that he voice-acted in this.

If this is true, anyone else think Flash(tm) is going to start being used more frequently to make non-internet animations? As in, PowerPuff girls and such? I can see some "Cartoon Networks(tm)" cartoons already possible to make in Flash(tm). :-|

Something to think about.

POX responds:

Go to roger-moore.com or to flywholovedme.com, pictures from the recording session are on both sites! I know, it's a little unbelievable... I was as amazed as you are! But he's a really nice bloke - great voice too. Regarding Flash, lots of stuff is already being done for broadcast. more and more all the time, in fact. Problem is, executives think that just because people like us do this in their spare time, we should be cheap! And Flash tends to be a bit counter-intuitive for traditional animators to get to grips with.

[Taking over me]

Disguisting.

No offence, but this is what I think:

1) It's way too cliche, "People say that when you die...", too over done.
2)Corny Music.
3) Animation could use a little more work.
4) Story line is dull (same reason as #1).

I'm tired of all these so-called, "artistic" films that have been plaguing NewGrounds recently. Yes, there are amazing "artistic" flashes, like "Prowlies at the River". But there are way too many wannabes that try to make stuff like that, but that honestly don't have the talent to do so. To make a film like that requires a _lot_ of time, a _lot_ of effort, and a _lot_ of skill. This, to my account, doesn't include any of the a-fore-mentioned. Try a different style, see what suites you best. But if you plan on making more films like this, seriously concider how you will manage the production cycle a little more efficiently (and probably extend it a little more). I can understand that you put a lot of effort into it, but even if it takes you a year to make it, at least it'll turn out better. Take it as constructive criticism. ;)

OurGuardian responds:

At this point, I am learning UNTILL I get to be better. As you say here: The artist of Prowlies at the river did learn, but could do all this from the start. OF COURSE NOT! I think, your work progresses as you make more movies. I am still young, maybe when I'm older, I will also work at Disney and make movies like him, but at this point I am still a teenager and create with all my skills. This took me a long time to do.

[Tomorrow's Nobodies Ep.2]

meh...

Two problems:

1) The Matrix has been "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" too over-done.

2) I love Don Davis' music as much as the next guy, but this track is just "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" too fucking overplayed.

The Matrix bandwagon broke down a "Looooooooooooong" time ago people, time to get off it and start hitchhiking your way to town.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Yeah totally, but I don't see how it effects this movie.

[NeoJam]

hah...

You get my full 10 just because of the:

"Right click and press rewind, button broken :(" thing. roffle, that made my day.

nef responds:

jajaja~

[29 Day War]

awsome.

You really should stick to writing and directing flashes. Get someone else to do the dirt work, the graphics were shit, in all honesty (no offence). But the actual story is something that is pretty much hollywood-movie worthy.

Flyborg responds:

This is the first flash where I wasn't just playing around, so I suppose I should expect that from graphics...

[Avoiding Blamnation (HNT)]

err...

Blam this piece of crap!

JujubeLock responds:

I totally agree with you.
