Phantosanucca's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[FF4 Meets Survivor!]

Not quite as good as the later episodes

But this is the one that started it all. So I gotta give credit where credit is due. Humurous, although the internet lingo is kinda annoying, it's still a worthy movie.

[Megaman and X]

Much better than before

I think you've taken the advice of what us Newgroundians gave you earlier, because this shows quite a bit of improvement over the first version. However, you really need to make the words easier to read.

It is quite possible, and quite easy to make word bubbles using MS Paint. All you have to do is use the ellipse button, and then use the polygon to make the arrow indicating who's talking, and then type in the words using the text button.

Although the graphics still have not improved much, the fight scene involving the green blob shows that you have honed your flash making skills.

Never stop listening to advice. I know there are a lot of idiots out there who will just blam movies without trying to help, but as long as you make a commitment to improve your work, then we will be there to support you.

Nice job. :)

[Canadian Identity]

Expecting some funny take at Canadian life...

But this didn't really deliver. Half the movie is just a guy saying beaver between intervals. Half of an approximately 70 second flash is a guy spouting the name of a water-trotting animal. I'm Canadian. I have never seen anyone say "Beaver!" uncontrollably.

Sure, there are a couple of people who pertain to the stereotype and say "eh?" at the end of every sentence, but since when do Canadians say "Beaver!" at the end of every sentence?

I know it's supposed to be taken lightly, but it just doesn't make sense. It's making up humour, that only you would understand. That's like those dorks in grade school who make up their own language that only they know. It doesn't matter if they call you an asshole in "Finketopian", the fact is, it will not hurt someone on any level, it will just confuse them.

I really thought this would have been something funny. Although it provides a chuckle, it just doesn't really go to that next step, just because of some strange and certainly troubling dialogue.

Sorry man.... At least I'm not blamming it, eh?

[NEWGROUNDS PIRATE STORY]

You aren't the first to mix MS Paint and Flash

Do you even GO to Newgrounds? How could you think you were the first? And besides, there's no way you made that in MS Paint. The graphics were too good! It was animated far too well to have been from MS Paint.

Too bad the "Plot" made no sense. If it had any relation to NG, besides the name, maybe it would have gotten a higher score from me.

[Retarded Animal Babies]

Alright, I admit it's not as bad as I said earlier

It's not that I think Retarded Animal Babies is crap. Although it's nothing special in my opinion, I don't think it's supremely awful. Some of the lines do have some humour.

But come on, you people can't possibly think that this series is better than every other entry in portal history. can you? So you guys think this is better than every single game EVER introduced to Newgrounds? Better than every single cartoon? Every Video Game Parody? Every Series?

There are far better flash movies than this one. Now, these are just suggestions, and I don't personally care for some of them, but what about Neurotically Yours? College University? Final Fighting Fantasy? Pico? Miss. Dynamite? 8-Bit Theatre? And countless others?

Do you honestly believe that THIS, is greater than all of those things combined? That's all I ask. And if you do, that's fine. All I suggest is that you look at both sides of the coin before you make your decision.

[Resident Koopa: Bowser]

Not bad

Not bad at all. It had some humour, some violence, some good backgrounds and sprites, some good music. This has all the ingredients to a good flash movie. Keep it up.

[3 in 1 Spriting Tutorial!]

Normally I would blam these things...

But your flash proved to be educational, but not as boring as the other kinds of "How-To-Make-Flash" flashes seen earlier. It has really helped me out, and I think that, in a little while, I may begin making flash thanks to this little tutorial. So, I think it only fair to give this a 3. I'm not gonna vote 5 just because it helped me, but I think it deserves to stay in NG in case anyone has trouble begining.

Thanks again, Phantos. :)
