Syrsly's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[We Hate It When...]

WORMZ!! Ahahahaha! Ahahahaha! We hate it when...

^_^ YAY!
I loved the sonic sequences as well. The frame-by-frame bits were a nice touch. I liked that you included all the great video game icons like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sonic Adventure, and even Worms.

[Code Veronica: Flash Edn]

Another LF masterpiece...

I liked it, but it doesn't necessarily live up to your previous work. The framerate seemed a bit choppy at times, but that might have been my computer slowing down. Not sure.

Again, I liked it. I don't see many Resident Evil flash parodies...

[The Doom Project]

Inspiring work you got here.

It looks a lot like some of my most recent work. I don't like the dark tinting, though. ...Granted, Doom is a dark and gritty video game series. I just couldn't tell what was happening at times, because it got too dark. (That's mainly a problem on my side, I don't hold it against you.)

The music was too plain. You could probably remix the music or something. Add a little twist to it? The actions didn't seem to go with the music but rather they just went at a very fast framerate to fit the fast-paced mood of the music.

A secret scene could help replay value as well.

[FATE: love at first fight]

This makes my submissions look like masterpieces!

The music didn't fit with the sequences. Therefore, it was pretty pointless. There wasn't really much animation, and some (if not all) layers of the drawings actually overlapped the static effect movie clip. The static movie clip was pretty annoying as well.

It's nice that you created a somewhat lengthy little story and put it into a storyboard. However, I think you need to focus more on the animation quality and the syncing of the sound.

I realise this is somewhat old, but it is newer than some of my own submissions, and it somehow has a higher score than most of my submissions. Guess I reviewed out of jealousy.

Meeko responds:

bad review HELLO! =-( awww sorry that you didn't like it. Just letting you know that this was my first half-assed attempt at flash and it wasn't supposed to look good. Luckily, the people who wrote reviews and voted probably cared about the storyline and not the graphics, amazingly. I only voted on my movie the first 5 days and got bored with it. I made this in 2 days and it deserves alot more than what you give it.

[A Decline Christmas]

Not that my review makes much of a difference...

I really loved DoVG2, so I was looking forward to part 3. Now I've finally noticed this, and I must say it's just as bad as any other christmas special. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. It's good. I just think it was half-assed, because Decline2 was much better. The voice acting seems to have gone down in quality in this submission.

The ending was probably the best part of the entire movie. I really enjoyed the Santa scene, though. A fairly original skit. I found all of this somewhat funny, and I simply hope for more to arrive very soon.

[The Story of Mark ep. I]

Not much effort...

This isn't exactly something I'd consider watching a second time. How long did it take to make? I gave you a 2/5 just because I don't think it deserves to be blammed. (It did lower your score, which was surprising, because the movie should probably get a low 1/5 in comparison to other people's work.) Still, I guess you have potential. If you need some help with your work, contact me.

[Mario Explains It All- #1]

You give tutorials a bad name.

The Zelda music wasn't necessary. I have no idea why you need music in a tutorial... let alone Zelda soundtracks.

The graphics were too mixed up, you had a RuneScape character follow the mouse, which just added to the lagginess, while Mario stood around in mid air with a fancy pop-up text bubble in the middle of the screen. I noticed the next button in the corner, but others might not notice it, because it isn't very obvious that you click it. The background wasn't really necessary either.

The blur effect you included didn't really look good newayz.

[The Prophecy 3]

Too much like a storybook.

I like that it's using RS2 graphics. However, the characters aren't animated much at all, and there is a lot of reading, so this movie is more like a graphic novel...

The sound contributed to my thoughts on this submission as well. The music is all RS-themed, which is good in a way, but it suddenly stops playing at times and really has no purpose. The beginning tune sounded like it might have been an event sound instead of a stream of audio.

[Anakin loves Padme]

Ha!

I like how you assembled the character sprites, and it was pretty funny for a Star Wars spoof. (Most SW flash movies are pretty lame. Yours was lame in a funny way.) Why did you type Kagome twice, though? *confuzzled*

[Fallen Angel: Teaser]

One of the most impressive teasers I've ever seen.

Great work on the visuals. I didn't like the lack of music, and the music you used was by Deftones, so I wasn't really interested in it. However, the sound effects are used well, and I really liked the large explosion. For something made in Flash, it looks ultra realistic. Sounds appropriate, too. May I suggest something? I think it needs more dialogue. I didn't have a clue why they were fighting.
