T0MMY's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda: Heroic Rage 4]

Review for: "Zelda Heroic Rage 4"

The graphics were pretty decent, though I didn't really like how you designed the main character, Link. It looked like you wanted to stay true to the Zelda world and tell a story about an older Link, so I'd think your character design would be based more on the "adult Link" character from the games rather than on the anime "Berzerk."

The animation was really stiff, but it did it's job.

The story was... well, basic. It had Link kill stuff and get the Master Sword, just whate everyone on this site wanted to see.

The choice of music was good, but I only give high marks to people who make their own music. I liked the music from the games a lot more than the pop music you had with the fight scene.

And, of course, in my review I have to mention that Nintendo made the original Zelda games with a young Link in mind. He was always a kid. It's the usual coming of age story with young man slaying a great evil and becoming a man. The actual plot is much more symbolic and goes back long ago that the actual meaning is lost now.

I am looking forward to all the cel-shaded Zeldas, all the 2d sprite zeldas, and whatever else they decide to utilize because a Legend of Zelda game is always great ;)

[DEUS EX MACHINA]

Review for "DEUS EX MACHINA"

Although the author's comments about the movie is about as helpful as hitting myself in the face with a brick I'm starting to think that maybe the non-sequitur content of the comment was just echoing the content of the movie.

The graphics were well designed, and the animation of the graphics were well excecuted. The movement was simple, but effective.

Hard to comment on the story considering what type of story it is. It didn't really have a strong motif, but it's always interesting to try to pick out the meaning of the images you created for the viewer to observe.

I enjoy these kind of animations, so I shall list it in my list of favorites, and the people who might see some of my "crazier" movies can watch this.

[Decline of Video Gaming]

Review for "Decline of Video Gaming"

Hey, that movie was actually funny. It didn't make me roll on the ground snorting and frothing at the mouth losing bladder control, but I do tip my hat at the clever video game jokes (if I were wearing a hat, hold on let me get one). *tip*

The style of graphics and movement went well with the story, they weren't meant to totally wow the viewer, but they were still very well done for what dialogue you were working with.

Nice job, I thought this was much funnier than the Chateau scene you made... maybe YOU should write for Legendary Frog ;)

I enjoyed the credits, the outakes, the box viewer. Those bonus features get bonus points for my review. Overall a 10.

[The Perfect Murder]

Review for "The Perfect Murder"

Another Pico movie has hit Newgrounds and has made yet another impact here at Pico's home.

You show off your skill, ability, and talent in this movie with a spectacular frame by frame animation style and cinematography. The knife vs Bible fight was great, and all the dynamic camera angles and movement was thrilling.

Your choice of music was a great match to the action of the story.

I expect this movie to nab all the Portal Awards for the week and find its place on the Top 50 as well.

No need for me to be long-winded in my critique on your abilities because you will hear it from everyone else. Simply put, great work.

[MV - The Final Day]

Review for: MV - The Final Day

You'll probably hear this a lot, but the graphical images were well done. However, the actual animation was very limited. This gave it a feeling of some kind of web trailer/teaser for a more serious work.

The score I gave for the Style category reflects animation style (since Graphics is the category which should include graphical style as well as technical rendering).

The story seems so vague, but what you gave us does pique my interest. If you can animate a movie maybe 3 to 5 minutes in duration using this style & story (but with more animation[movement]) you would have a wonderful movie.

[NG Time Trial Challenge]

Review for NG Time Trial Challenge

I went over my time limit of an hour so I gave up on the project, but then I heard it turned into a 3-day project, so I might be able to finish today for the next group. And now I get to see how everyone's turned out first ;)

Anyway, time to review the movie(s)-- this was a great "mini-Newgrounds Jam" idea. All the movies were great for the time limit. Although I have to say the most successful was Luis' animation.

Note, the above scores for the categories were kind of averaged for all the movies.

Good job to everyone involved.

[(old vers)Dead Rain 5]

Review for "Dead Rain 5"

I enjoyed everything about this, overall just superb. The one thing I wanted more of was lots of zombies getting killed in various ways and zombies eating people.

The graphic design was superb, the animation was smooth and believable, and the sound was great (though sometimes the music seemed a little roughly introduced).

I've watched it twice now. I spotted the Jason cameo the first time though (that's where the score for the humor comes from).

Front page material right here, thanks for the e-mail telling me about this so I get one of the first reviews in ;)
