Ben-Spurgin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DBZ Mawi Style]

Ugh

Random incoherent collection of scenes. Style ripped from Eskimo Bob, who I fuckin hate anyway. I understand it's your first flash, but you'll get no sympathy from me. Make something original! Don't waste your talent by copying shitty animation.

[The Sniper(fix)]

Wow!

Nice job! Excellent movie for your first submission! It was nice and fast paced, unlike other crappy slow movies in the portal. It didn't bore me!

[Zero Wing Trailer]

Well

You are the whinyest friggin animator I've ever heard. I think you need to just admit that you're not the shit you think you are. The ratings are a pretty good indication of how good your movie is so you gotta take the bad with the good and quit bitching.
I know my movies aren't all that great, but I let the people decide. I have been shafted on nice placement before in similar ways but I didn't bitch about it, I just tried again.
People will ilke it or people won't, just accept that and don't whine when your placement drops.
I had to put this review under this movie because I already gave your other movie a shitty review because it was slow-paced and boring, and that was BEFORE you whined.

TFX responds:

Ben, you kick ass! But this review kinda didn't.

Let me explain: July/August I wasn't exactly feeling too great. Not physically, but mentally. People voted 0 on this movie without ever giving a reason why (same with this review). You voted 0 because I was whiny without ever mentioning the movie itself.

Again, Ben, you kick a lot of ass. I apologize if I was bitchy back towards the end of summer, but I am just trying to get some info. My movie went really high and then sunk 160 places (with 0 reviews written in between these times) so I don't know why it sinks.

I'm getting over it and working on the prequel. Thank you for your in-direct review. Sorry for the late reply :)

[XiaoXiao Beth the Thief!]

Bah!

Keep your whiny shit off the portal.

[Industry Standard]

Oh no!!

I can't believe you made this!! The Stick Slayer will have to kill you now.

["News To You"]

Hehhe nice!

I was rolling at the end. Great stuff! Nice use of Swift! :)

[The Late Show]

Hmmmmm

Something tells me you didn't make this. We're not all stupid 14 year olds.

[Scarce Reality Preview]

Well

I can definitely see the similarities to the Matrix, also the dialog was muffled, the movie was slow paced, and it ended to soon. Nothing was explained, therefore the movie had no plot. Camera angles were nice, but the shoddy black and white graphics made it painful to watch. Keep practicing, you had a good start!

scarce responds:

ok, first off, the point was I got comments it was like the matrix so I CHANGED it so it wasn't, (i was refering to my original preview) second, this is a P-R-E-V-E-I-W, to show whats comming, of course it's short, duh, thank you for the compliment on the camera angle though, and by the way, I wanted it not color, I have been on flash for 2 years, my good start was then, thank you for you comments though, Have a Hectic Day! :P

[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!
