[Greatest Movie Ever]

Excersize some originality

You see, I understand you though you were making a tribute to I Like to Beat things. But you don't seem to understand what a tribute is. You could have created something with more originality, a better concept with some of you OWN stuff mixed in. But all you did for this movie was make the fellas look a bit more excruciating, add a lightsaber, and cut the bashing scene short by about 30 seconds. The rest is rehashed. This is no tribute, this is more of an insult. I shudder to think of what the "sequel" will bring, but lets hope it packs more of your own creations. There's always room for improvement, always time to make up for your mistakes. Better luck next time.

[Stagger Preview]

some people are morons...

Jose Ortiz is not lying to you when he tells you that his Stagger preview is a big download. But some people, despite the lack of broadband interent, venture out anyways and recieve 20 seconds for the cost of about 30 minutes. They disredard the warning that the file is huge for the length of the movie, and guess what happens? They piss and they moan about how much it sucks. Seriously some people don't even bother to read the author's comments and zip down their pants to piss out a flaming review, or they have extreme tunnel vision and don't believe Jose Ortiz when he tells you that it's a big download for the length. So anyone who dosn't think Stagger is going to be somewhat of a hit is narrow-minded and ignorant. Ortiz is and alway has rocked our world, so for those who don't believe in the talent of this guy... buckle up.

[Tribute-To-Dragonballz-]

You know what you're doing

This is a fantastic work of Dragonball Z art. I would have given you less credit if all you did was scan those pictures form the manga, but you spiffed them up mighty nice and I really like it. So far, i've seen many showcases of Spirit vs Spirit (the song in this for those unkowing of DBZ) but this has to be the best i've ever seen. I must admit, though, it was all pictures. And you cut off fight right when it was getting to the good part... but you gotta do what you gotta do. I think you'll get a kick out of my next movie, and for whatever movie you do next I hope to see 100% original drawings, instead of spiffed up (VERY nicely spiffed up) drawings. You da man.

[spqlz2]

great

You turn the portal upside down. You are making the simple character genre into something good.

[Brutality]

Fantastic!

I truely did enjoy watching Brutality. Everything about it amazes me to the point of which I begin to contemplate exactly how I'm going to be able to keep up with this as I work on Project Saiyan. What amazes me the most is how you made the characters mostly tweened, and it still looks GOOD. Yeserie, that is the one thing I found soley impressive about it. and 5 minutes long too! I'd be lucky if I had a two minute long feature for the same file size the way i'm heading. Good job, good job indeed! Only two extremely minor things happened to bother me though, that was the ribcage (which probably should have been either completely vaporised or at least kind of charred), and the faces. At times the faces kind of looked a bit odd, but thats absolutely fine. It looks like DBZ when I first started drawing it, so some more work and it'll be a bit neater. Then again, maybe thats just your style and I shouldn't be suggesting you change that. Brutality is the best DBZ, no, the best action movie on NG. Congradulations on a job well done.

[A Day in My Life]

this movie was really cute

I really enjoyed watching a day in your life. The narrative was clear and hilarious, and easy to follow. It wasn't much to look at, but the story itself was amazing. There is so much to like about this film.

[A View To A Kill: Revelry]

ahh....

I really enjoy watching the first and second of these movies. I hope you plan on creating a new chapter for A view to kill, although I dont want to rush you or anything. I understand how hard it is to expunge new content, so just take it easy and do what pleases you. Peace.

[Vader Feels Lucky]

these crack me up

I dunno why, normally i might have given this sort of thing a zero. But it was crap for a reason, and it's senselessness made it hilarious. Oh god why do i love these vader things that you made, Nikachu!? I must be as messed up as you are =)

[Clay Death Episode 1]

not bad

I like how innovative it is incorperating claymation into flash. Maybe it's my soft spot for claymation that makes me remember the good ole days, i think you should make more. Flash can make claymation very easy, because you can insert all the sounds and special effects you want. It's great to see someone thinking different. Try and get more limb movement into the characters too. Peace.

[Hostage Situation 2]

Unbelievable

This is an amazing movie by quite a talanted artist. 10 for the graphics, those visuals and utilization of the tablet are absolutely fantastic. I loke that 3D ak-47. 10 for the sound, because the voice acting and non-CS sounds are totally original and amazing. 10 for style, because your form of art is precise and understandable. 10 for violence, for obvious reasons. 0 for humor, sorry but i have to give you that mainly because there is a lack of humor in the movie. Dont worry, if a movie is meant to be serious no humor needs to be applied. And 5 for interactivity. Despit it being a movie not a game, im giving you 5 because i really dig that thing with the wires at the end. 10 overall, nuff said. You are an inspiration for all of us up-and-coming flash artists, and I hope to see more of your work in the future. Peace.
