Ben-Spurgin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Apotheosis]

Hey bud!

Remember me? I'm the Pimp's Quest guy. Anyways just wanted to say thanks for the great content! I think your cartoons are refreshingly unique! Let me be the millionth person to say I'm looking forward to the next one!

[Pico VS Zombies DoD]

Coolies!!

Glad to see work like this in the portal again! Looks like you put heaps of effort into this near-perfect flash ;) Only advice I have is the following:
Timing and pacing could be smoothed out a little, The sound was rather atrocious at times. Other than that, all I'd say is try making something with your own character, you've got mad potential! You never know, you might make something that will get famous someday, but not with other people's guys ;)

[A Lil' Help]

[Sureal Halloween short!]

Cmon man

Sureal-Inc responds:

[Robot-Waltz]

Hehehhe

Spiffy!!

[(2003)Jacob II]

[Dr. Shroud in: La Maudite]

Cool!

Hey this is great! But I want more action, faster pace!!!

[Cat Gang]

Hmm

Nice art and fbf but goddamn dude you got that 3D shit allll wrong.

[Detective Frofrog 2]

Hmm

Pluses - Nice art, fun preloader games. Wacky abstract storyline.
Minuses - No humor (at least none that appealed to my particular sort of humor. Perhaps Eskimo Bob fans or stick fans might like it), the beginning was a "look how much work I put in vote me higher" plug that was unnecessary. 8 months? Try 1.5 years for Pimp's Quest and going on 2 years for Pimp's Quest 2 or 8 months for 1:30 Lords of Battle and so forth. <flash tip #4,000: When shading your guys, imagine where the light source would be and draw darkness on the opposite side.> Audio was rather terrible. I know you did it all yourself, but since you're not making any money you are covered under fair use so you don't have to worry about copyright infringement so GET SOME GOOD MUSIC. And I KNOW you'd do wayyyy better if you had some other voice talent. Maybe just do a cameo or something but I'm sure you can find better!
OK i'm done.

McRhyme responds:

Okay, first off:

- I'm sorry Ben. It is not obvious to me that I have hurt your feelings. I remember I reviewed one of your movies and told you it was worth a 6/10. Well, forgive me. I change my mind. I'd say it's worth at least a 8 or a 9. But I was being hard on you. I really wanted you to push yourself. Know what I mean? I really felt that that movie was just the same ol' thing from you. I had NEVER reviewed the movie if I hadn't cared for you. Ok?

I will not comment any of you things you wrote here. I just hope we can be friends instead. We are two great flash animators, you and I. We should stick (bad choice of word) together!

[Barge of a 1000 Bullets]

Heheh nifty!

Looks like you're giving my boy Randy a run for his money. I totally loved ur rainbow stuff back in the day, I used to show it to everybody.
Keep it up!

I just wanted to see what it was like to do a pixel movie. Sounds like I'll have to make another, but I'm really down with hand drawn toons. Videographer in Seattle, that's like 5 hours away from here (EWU). Did you go to AI of Seattle? Or elsewhere?
