Ben-Spurgin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[H2H KOMBAT]

Well

I think this is great! The thing I liked about it is that it's nice and fast paced. So many movies on NG are slowwwwwwww! You also did a great job of character design, they all look like individuals. And there's no such thing as "too many motion tweens!" That's what Flash is all about! Keep up the good work!

wow 9's across the board thanks, im glad u liked it! plus this review means even more to me coming from one of the great animators on newgrounds.

btw could u tell i made all the sounds myself??

[The Dark Saint]

hmm!

Good job! Witha little more practice I bet you'll be rippin it up! A couple things to try next time...
1. Frame easing
2. More than 2 drawings of the main character. (It makes a huge difference!)
3. Speed up the pace a little. Lots of graphics fast and furious makes for excitement!
4. Practice your direction. Finding the right music really helps with this, I usually listen to music for a good couple hours before I find the right stuff.
5. Loops your music correctly so it flows smoother (Talking about the ending music). Sonic Foundry Sound Foge is great for looping!
Hope I don't sound too preachy!

You are odd

You are odd. But I like odd! Shows way more style and character than any of the stupid stick skate movies most 13 year old are submitting. Good Job!

[Final Fantasy Trilogy]

Great job!

FFVI is still my all-time favorite video game, and I feel you did it justice with this flick! I almost pooped myself when Biggs (or was it Wedge?) busted out with that AYB line. This must have taken a lot of efort. It looks nice indeed!

[S.W.A.T.]

Well

It's nice to see more people using the perspective capabilities of Flash. Unfortunately, stickmen + counterstrike sounds + Matrix music = CRAP! Make something original!

[Neo-Bender Sequel]

Snarharhar!

Pnokio is a friggin moron. This is a groundbreaking, revolutionary piece and anyone who says otherwise is either blind or stupid or 10 or all three!

[Eskimo Bob 25]

Argh

CRAPPY as usual. Why don't you try to improve on yourself? Why use the same shitty graphics over and over? You're not learning ANYTHING that way!! Try something new! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE

[Air Strike]

Well

You've obviously mastered the art of importing Swift 3D graphics, unfortunately it takes more than that to make a movie that flows well. It was a great idea, but I didn't get a good feeling of motion. It just looked like objects were rotating. Work on your directing and your next flick will be a winner!

[GR: Jailbreak (teaser)]

Wow!

That guy below me just proved his stupidity. He obviously doen's know how much effort frame-by-frame takes! I do, however, and I must say that your movie looks like it will be a winner! The only reason I didn't rate this higher is because it's just the trailer. But it looks stupendous!

[Soft Outer Crust Ep#11]

Well

I think people either really like your flicks or really don't. I really don't.
