Swordstick76's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[USA]

*cough* -- Propaganda -- *cough*

I disagree with the message, everything that just went on there, but as a responsible reviewer, I must vote accordingly to the flash and not my opinions.

Brief Sum up:

You made a beautiful tribute... *cough* -- white background a couple of grainy pictures and some writing *cough* Erhem *cough* takes no talent *cough* And then at the very end, you say "Give Blood." (WTF? What does that have to do with anything?? Totally unrelated and unneeded) and "Donate money to the American Red Cross" Ok. Understand this. I do not agree with that message at all. It's a mitzvah to help others less fortunate than you. But the very fact that you 9 - 11 as a jumpoff point to advertise for the cross? that's disgusting. That's propaganda Goebells would be proud of. And then fly the flag, which is whatever. You don't need to advertise the fact that your a patriot, it should be inside, because you don't need to prove that to anyone.

I also dislike the fact that you used Imagine. It totally has no meaning here. The lyrics of the song say "Imagine there's no countries" Yeah, that kinda goes against the context of the flash, when It's trying to get people to be patriotic and believe in their country. Also, there's the fact that Lenon was a Brit, and we're talking about being patriotic for America, and trying to help America. The song just doesn't fit the bill. At all.

[Charlie the Unicorn 2]

Great.

I saw this on a guys fav's and clicked, thinking it was planet of the unicorns, and i'd get to watch the funniest thing ever, but this was equally as funny. The graphics were different, but It was an interesting style, So i didn't mind it. Overall, great job.

[The Menorah]

deep stuff...

I loved this flash. It is absolutely beautiful. The graphic, design, what with how you drew the characters helped to add a shading to the situation which drew darkness into the equation... (and of course darkness should be necessary when talking of the bleakest and darkest of all things, genocide) I also thought that the way that the man fell into a darkness spiral was an effect that was cheesy and overdone... I would have shown a scene of the little girls face, either that or just showing her torso or legs and showing two little tear droplets... That would have conveyed a deeper feeling of pain than a simple body spiriling into a darkness... Again, these are just opinions/tips, It's your flash. One other thing that i didn't like: When you show the train going to Auschwitz, You don't have the hypocritical sign "Arbeit macht frei" the whole "labor sets you free" thing. That would have been important in a flash such as this that is remembering the halocaust. It would have been a nice touch that sets a deeper meaning, if you will.

As it is, this flash is amazing. I realize the need to expose this to a wider audience. If people had known of the armenian genocide, perhaps then, the halocaust might never of happened. To the 1,150,025 views that is the metal gear awesome 2, and the 828 views here, when this serves much more important issues, this is unnacteptable. Tom should have put it on the frontpage, or something, you'know? but, unrelated. I realize this need, and so I will 5'ver you, fav you, and attempt to get this into the dramatic shorts section, cause that's where it belongs.

Mr. Moores, you did a fantastic job. I just wish that i was a little older, or had more mental capacity, or something, because i feel thta i missed many little things that where hidden symbols (kinda like the menorah extinguishing when the nazis walked into the synoggauge, symbolizing the lives of jews that were extuingished? and the dead man trying to stop the train, trying to save his daughter?

Very touching.

[Korobeinki]

OMG, That was f'n amazing!

Hilarious. At first, watching the animation, I was sure that it wasn't gonna be all that good cause the chars were in simple black and white, but it ended up being simply amazing.

The idea is fantastic: Guys being killed by tetris? Hilarious!

The music is very very addictive: You chose the right song for the animation.

The animation is excellent: The chars less than the blocks, but teh blocks ruled.

10/10, 5/5, favorited. Excellent job, good sir.

TheDaringBread responds:

Thanks for the ten. The characters are sort of basic because I was trying to stay within my abilities. Coloring everything makes it all ten times more difficult, hopefully I'll be getting better though. I'm working on a flash now that's in full color.

[bikini Girls W/ MGs]

Uhuh.... ok!

That was a very strange, kind of disturbing flash, but the graphics were excellent, and the mouth was synced to the music. It was kinda wierd, and i didn't ike it, that's why you get an 8, not a ten.

[The Island---- Epi: 1]

Sweet!

AMAZING! yes, the graphics are not of the upmost, but the idea is brilliant-- and i will watch this tv show until the very end. The intrigue, the sacrifice, the danger, it's all brilliant! now who do i want off? P.S. I love the tribal council

Save the white mage and Samus! they rock!

1 = Nemo
2 = Birdo

DaveSaves responds:

(Birdo)
Your vote has been counted.

I'm glad you liked it! Tribal council was my favorite part too lol,
its my favorite part of the real show so i really cracked down into details.

About your vote Nemo, he isn't nominated bud haha, but Birdo is so I'll count that.

I appreciate your input though :P

[Clash]

Pretty cool.

Pretty cool, I'll give you that! The black and white kinda gave it a rustic touch, and overall I didn't mind the fast pacing. Not too bad, I'd say. Kinda random, but not necessarilly in a bad way. It kinda bothered me that it was rather pointless though, might wanta improve on that. It deserves about a 7/10 and a 3.

Heh, that's what I gave it too. I'm so smart.

Mackswell responds:

I definently agree with everything you said and appreciate it. This started as a spur of the moment thing which is why there's no story and I regret it. Next time I plan on having more than just fbf fighting madness and I'll also make sure to fix the speed xD

I've never had the patience to color my animations. I plan on starting though simply because it improves the quality.,. unless I fail at coloring which would be another issue. lol

[McTest]

AARGH!

THE ANIMATION CAN BE AMAZING (which, by the way, yours is not, at all that amazing) BUT WITHOUT A PRELOADER, YOU ARE SHI-ET. understand? NO preloader, means it isn't worth anything. You're "movie" is also a simple loop consisting of maybe 75 frames at the most. the most. This is crap. Improve. Next time im b/p ing i expect you to have a preloader, and a longer story.
Understood?
Dismissed!

Evil-Chef responds:

ok... roleplaying marine man. lol XD

[The Truth Is]

haha there where some good ones there...

There were some bad and some good, i like the flash, it was a good idea.

But while i'm still thinking about Neon Genisis Evangelion, is that part from EoE? cause i missed that scene, which means it's probably from there, seeing as i haven't seen that yet : (

[Demon Slayer's Diary]

cute.

That was decent. For a flash, that was pretty good, and i can only imagine the pain in the --- this must have been for you to make... yeesh, For what it is it is pretty good.
