I don't know... lol ?

Where to start,

Storyline : I know I'll be a little rude on this part, and I apology in advance.
At first when I've read g1rl on the computer I though of the old well known warning " g.i.r.l. = guy in real life" so you'd understand I laughed even if the movie wasn't meant to.
Over-romance is simply getting me bored. On Newgrounds I'm used to have an overdose of hentai, mindless violence and brainless romance, just to say how I don't like the topic itself. Lot of symbolism used as well, like smiling for nothing and holding hands... Anyway, taking an airplane that cost hundreds of $ to meet someone just me on the web is silly as well. They will eventually break up in 3 weeks. This is the way life goes nowadays. Maybe you should make the follow-up on this for your next movie ;)

Music was ok. Fit the theme as well and complement the flash the way it can, brining a good mood. General audio quality was average and was a good deal in between file size and sound quality as well.

Graphics? What to say about them? Lot of shadowing effects lacking and abuse of tweening. Nothing bad by itself.
Graphism was kept simple and was good as is.
A tip, because I feel like you need one, is to use the same object, copy it on a new graphic object, put it all black. I don't know, try with the trees. Once you put the blacked tree in the main flash, use the fading effect to make is 10 to 30% visible, strech it to make it like a real shadow and there you go. Within a minute you created shadow effects for most objects.

Overall it was fine enough to keep the audition to watch it completely, which is already above the average. The whole movie is good as is but is pretty basic. If you want to rework for improvement you can almost touch anything as well.

Good work in general,
AdmiraL-R

Thanks so much for the critique.

I didn't even think about the g.i.r.l. thing. lol. wow. haha.

I would like to say that the meeting on the internet thing and taking a plane to meet each other was not my idea. I did this as a favor for someone.

Also, I am starting a Flash course in school, which will hopefully help me some. (though maybe not since I am probably the most advanced and youngest person in there) o well.

I'll try the shadow thing; I knew about it, just never really tried it.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a helpful review. =]

Somewhat good

After the first listening I had a good impression about it. I love the team anyway which is mostly why I watched it. Anyway, there is my review:

The humour was ok, with a storyline barely based on the game itself. The principle of having the reverse situation was somehow interesting but not pushed over to parody a lot the basics of the game itself. Some jokes weren't interesting while some were. The text reading Sigma could be skipped it wasn't a big deal for the viewer. It should have been presented or introduced somehow more like the real game for a maximum effect, since it's a game pardoy as well.

Graphics were drawed in a ok way. As exemple there were no shadowing effects in most of the case. Good point is the animation is well done with it. Mouths were well set on the voices and well animated as well. Backgrounds isn't the strong point ether but there again I didn't feel it as disturbing.

The voiceacting was good enough. No scratchy sounds from the microphone and about all the same voice level. That's good. Music choices from Megaman was nice and remembered me when I played those games. Always like to hear them. Most of the movie was dialogs anyway.

By the overall, I liked it and watched it twice. You have put efforts into this and the results are there. I hope you can experiment some more on the storylines. You are already skilled with the graphics. You are very close to succes.

Sincerely,
AdmiraL-R

Shadowii2 responds:

Yeah, for this I didnt think so much about the storyline unlike what I did with the previous MMX shorts I have made (expect the first one).

But if you ever go to watch the older ones you will notice a really bif improvement in the graphics.
And same goes with the animation.

But backgrounds are something I should work on, I always find myself not having enough ideas for decent ones.

But anyways, thanks for your opinions and review!

Good humour

I agree on your point that the Sunshine crew abuses much of the same movie.

By the way you missed 2 things when you made your replica.
1. the sun has to move with the whole object whereever you click.
2. the text frame should disappear 1 frame after its shown. email me on newgorunds if you want the method.

By the way the flash is very cute ^^

OhCrapz responds:

I know i missed out them 2. Its 6:15 in the morning here so i was too tired to fix them lol.

Cute

Pretty interesting. I don't perticularly like or dislike clock, but anyway it was a good use.

The song was well chosen because it fit with the movie's mood and even the lack of general sound doesn't make it worse. I just found that the song was of low quality but well, always a bargin between that and the file size.

Graphics were almost all twinned with barely or no animation at all. There again it was good and bad. The over-use of twins often leads to too much constant speeds which is never the case in real life mouvements. No shadow/light but well, in cartoons they are there most of the time but on peopl's made movies they often lack as well.

I'd resume everything as a good start. If it's your first flash like you're claiming, you can get to some higher levels with a few more work.

kilogram1 responds:

Thank you for this well thought out review--it is very much appreciated! Your critiques are helpful, and I plan on making more flashes in order to improve my skills.
Thanks for the nice review!

I've been waiting for this a long time ...

Awesome !
I knew someone would finally send a complete parody about the New Numa.

Pretty much it wasn't as funny as I could expect because jokes were only hitting the storyline and not during the video itself. The idea of making himself say it was awful was good because actually the video missed the impact they wanted to have.

Graphics were well used despite the massive use of motion tweens. That was really fine for the purpose of the movie and this is why I still think they deserve good grade.

Voices and sounds were good and without scratching. Quite an impressive way to enhance this brilliant parody.

Anyway...
Congratulation on this

AdmiraL-R

Dustball responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Although to be fair, I only used tweens when he picked up the phone and when he lifted the "Grey Poop On". That's it! :)

This isn't ...

This isn't atomic bomb, it's atomic explosion ...
You're trying to foll people.

Sad isn't it ?

Heavyoak responds:

..............explosion, bomb.....whats the diffence?

Well well well ...

Those 2 clocks doesn't live in same country cause they don't have same time shown.

^_^

DrClockzor responds:

we all know that guillotine "swings" the other way :P

^_^

As a francophone, I'd say ...

This is a nice attempt of using french skills. Unfortunately we can't hear much what they're saying. The Please Note at the beginning should have been with a continue button, just like when the flash is loaded.

Ok so here are few corrections:

Il y a un long temps
-> Il y a longtemps

Betty obtient un invitation à la partie de Bob
-> Betty obtient une invitation à la fête de Bob

Betty et Bob sont allés bien à de grands amoureux pendant la vie là entière et ont fait un amour plus passionné chaque fois, tous en raison d'une ceinture et ils sont fête d'anniversaire.
-> Betty et Bob ont trouvé le grand amour et ont fait l'amour de façon plus passionnée chaque fois, tout simplement en raison d'une ceinture et de leur anniversaires.

Hope this might help somehow.

thenbriansaid responds:

yea i knew those, i couldnt really edit it because i lost the file edit program thing,thanks

Beautyful

That was quite imaginative. Very good work and ideas, though I still don't get how your Earth's propulsion works, but whatever.
So hum, the purpose of the movie was very great, but you could have worked a bit more on graphics. At worst, ask help for it.

Dasneviano responds:

The propulsion? It's an engine. Simply. Don't try to understand any further!
Thanks for reviewing!:D

Decent

It was ok. Graphics were fine for sticks and well, thats the good point of this flash with the music.

You probly were tired when you ended it cause the animation after he hits the sign wasn't much good, which like gave me a last sight of that flash lower than it was, even if the joke was right there.

Also you could have added some more animated graphics considering air resistance when he was flying.

uhh, thanx... i guess
