Guidodinho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tir Na Nog : Episode 1]

Looks promissing

Looks nice and clean, no real sloppy parts in it. Only visual part that i didn't like was when you zoomed in on the sprites, they looked kinda blurry. I think it would be better i you'd leave the sprites in solid pixels instead of letting them get smoothed.

And i don't wanna be a prick, but i think the music choice was rubbish. The first and the last songs were pretty good as they didn't sound too bad and fitted in the situation pretty well, but the second and third sounded absolutely horrible and they didn't fit the scene verry well.

I also didn't get much of the story. I'll let that slip because you already told us so and i'll expect it to be clearer the next time, But...(yes there's a but) i think you should find a way too cut down on the filesize so you can put more into one episode, because this one didn't really show that much, it did make me curious for the next one though. I suggest doing something about the audio since that's often the reason for a big filesize (i know because i had that problem myself :p).

Anyways, looking forward to understanding a bit more of the story and watching the fighting scene on the next episode.

GoldenTot responds:

Thanks for the criticism, sir! I blur the pixels because trust me, it looks a lot worse when I leave them as their original form. I as well didn't quite like the second and third, but they were really all I had at my disposal at the time. I'll definitely put more thought into the soundtrack of the next episode.

The story will unravel as time goes by! Thanks again for the criticism.

[Raptor Burgers]

makes me hungry for more :p

Good artwork, good animation and the video was synched with the movie incredibly good. And i loved how you did the raptor's expression before the scientist clubbed him down. Only negative thing: the title kinda spoiled ending :(

but other than that, funny and originall concept and well performed. Absolutely worthy of the daily feature and front page.

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

True, but would another title be as memorable/interesting?

[ActionScripted Mario]

I don't really get it...

I think it would be pretty hard to code make and all. but I can't see the code, and even if i could see it, i don't think i would understand a single thing of it.

and there isn't much interresting in it to see either. just some swirling colors (wich would probably be more interresting if you're under influence of something :p) and mario with only his hand and head moving. you could have done more with him: let hem him dance or smoke something.

so my conclusion is: it's pretty cool, but not a single movie, maybe as a preloader or something.
And try to explain something about the coding so more people (like me) could understand it.

Fallout2000 responds:

Good idea, I should use this as a preloader, considering it's only 50kb.
