Horsenwelles's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Treads]

again, for what it is, both premise and excecutionwise, its great. though your artstyle ISNT conventional, the way you kept it consistent and well-paced put a smile on my face.

brae, this is your finest writing to date =)

SnowyBangers responds:

finest of finest so far ;)

[Mario Meets Kirby]

i still highly question your integrity jonbro. nothing about this ripoff of half life: full life consequences is even slightly impressive to me. the animation is subpar, the pacing is odd, the plot, characters, premise, "satire", the bland voice acting, and visual design are all completely unoriginal. you are definitely more capable than shameless game parodyship, thats why this is so dissappointing.

i hope this review clears up what i'm trying to get across to you. please dont be guilty for what jason, khawner, and i were guilty of all those years ago. do something that takes actual creative effort, because i know you have the talent to present it.

JonBro responds:

This is a question of integrity? Is originality the only thing that makes a movie good? Is every project a person works on suddenly crap because that person set some high standards?

This movie wasn't meant to be a masterpiece, but it still took time and planning to make, and it still WAS a legitimate creative effort because of the liberties it allowed. Maybe if your little Sprite-A-Day group put some real time, planning, and effort into their movies before they released them onto this site, they wouldn't have caused such hate-filled controversy.

interesting

though alot of cliche "intense wide angle" shots you created seemed unnecessary, and the trumpet was completely flat through the entire song. you might say it created a bit of noir sadness, like the trumpeteer wasn't even happy enough to tune up, but no. thats a basic recording issue thats simply glaring all throughout.

this of course doesn't make it bad by any means, but it does leave it far from perfect. i liked the visual style, the silhouettes, the motion, and the effort highlighting certain objects.

not bad work.

Basset-Hound responds:

Thanks for reviewing, yeah the trumpet is very flat. I was only playing the trumpet for 2 or 3 months when I was recording this, but looking back and seeing lots of things that I could improve now easily only confirms that improvement has been made :)

Thanks for the review.

terrible audio design

the audio just cuts out at the worst possible moments, the song choice adds nothing to the tone they are meaning to set, the voice acting was annoying to say the least, and everything seemed like either a straight rip off or dumb parody of everything that newgrounds has parodied before.

this flash has 2 pros i can mention:

1: it is a hefty flash, that has an "ok" ending"
2. it showed effort in making custom sprites.

but when the writing is that bad, the audio that uncontrolled, and general ugliness really leave little to be liked.

there is just not much i can say thats good about this besides the fact that you had the patience to copy and paste all those sprites.

good luck with your "pus tan" or whatever your doing, because it better be a hell of a lot better than this.

Eastbeast responds:

I learned alot from this flash, I'll keep what you said in mind for my next one. As for "Pus Tan" I have no idea what you are saying, and if it doesn't meet your standards, I don't feel any loss either.

[PokeMan : Revenge]

um...

ok hulalaoo styled animation, but the worst voice acting i have heard to date.

the writing is ok, and i sort of liked the premise, but god the VA was.... just.... ear aids.

haitam responds:

ahaha I know I suck,there ain't much I can do about it now.I'll keep it in mind next time.

[Captain FAILcon]

RH what are you doing man

you should have just had an awkward pause, after he was given the egg.

"then he should have said, well, i guess i'll take my egg and go home then."

and he just leaves.

seriously, dont explain the joke at the end. it completely ruins the entire point of the "parody" if i could call it such.

i cant believe you got on this bandwagon.

LewToons responds:

Falcon PUNCH!

[multipass lantern]

very cool

interesting little shader text, and very well implemented.

props to you

oladitan responds:

many more props to the programmer and modeler of this demonstration. All i did was export it using flashdevelop.

[Programmed to Love]

piss

very comical

the animation was nothing to write home about, but it held my attention, and it put a smile on my face.

good job

PostTimeskipSam responds:

As long as you enjoyed it, I did my job. Thanks.

[Wool E]

um, uh

i didn't laugh, and i'm not sure if i should have...

this drama SUCKED

WooleyWorld responds:

Drama?

[Cyberskull]

great job

the animation was wonderful, but it was basicially the exact same style as scott pilgrim, which dissappointed me a little.

i also didn't prefer the sub-cop out ending, but it was ok.

great job tyler :)

Nogfish responds:

thanks but not sure what you mean by scott pilgrim lol
