Drakonais's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mindchamber </3]

Hilarious

Love both authors, I came back and watched this again and noticed the ending message changed from "I miss you" to "I <3 you"... maybe to make it less gay? I mean, c'mon if you're half way there, you should just go all out. Nice short though.

And Stamper's audio is amazing.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

I wasn't aware "miss" was gayer than "<3"

[Akira the Don - Hypocrite]

I might let em off lightly

And I still got 5 p-p-pairs of Nikes!

Awesome flash, very addictive.

Wonchop responds:

And a p-p-packet of p-p-p-penguins

[Death's Curtain Ep.01]

Can't wait to see more!

Genuinely creepy as hell. I thought it was an interesting concept to distort the human perception of what an angel is. The animation is stunning and I can't wait to see where to story goes and what the agenda of the angels ultimately turns out to be.

SickDeathFiend responds:

thanks, I figured most people would be offended by that or something but thankfully not.

[MikeyBoy]

What happened to the days when Turds sucked?

So, maybe it's not quite Xiao Xiao, but there is so much obvious talent in this work that isn't reflected in its score. Honestly, shit on Newgrounds is still not good enough to call this a Turd of the Week.

molorussb responds:

Please note this recieved "Underdog of the Week", not "Turd of the Week".

Thanks!

[Overprotective Part Two]

Unique idea and well executed to boot.

Definitely an improvement over your last episode, both graphically and in plot interest. You have a lot of talent and I would love to see this series unfold, just, please, please, please, no cliches. I nearly ripped my skin off when he said "make you wish you were never born." It's so overused, it's not even intimidating. Well done and keep on animating.

Sikes responds:

Actually, I had a much better, more threatening line for that part and then I said to myself "Ruby sure acts mature for his age, shouldn't he say or do something childish?". So that line was INTENTIONALLY cheesy for the sake of the character, but I never expected to get so much heat over it.

[(old vers)Dead Rain 1]

Amazing, except for certain aspects.

Your drawings are incredible, and the work you put into this is obvious. Only a few plot holes and lack of stylized language keep this adventure merely a fantasy story rather than a Flash masterpiece. A lot of times, especially in the prologue, character motivation was questionable and the random puctuation/capitalization didn't help. It really took away from how great these works have the potential of being. Also, plan your scenes so you can use shape tweening without having to redraw characters frame by frame. If you do that half-asses, it just looks blocky. Still an amazing product.

SickDeathFiend responds:

hey glad you dug it.The characters motivations are to stay alive heh.
More about them will be revealed later on, you get to know alot more about riggs and why he does what he does in later episodes to come.

[Old: Couple O' Shorts]

Nice shorts, fun animation

Hey, nice job, maybe you could string a story together, altho with your animation style, you'd be better off doing the Arfenhouse type thing.

BTW, is your SN on AIM ZeroSk8er? If so this is bloo min graped, and it's good to see you're on NG!

ZT responds:

nope im not ZeroSk8er, glad you liked it

thx for da review

[The old TN episode 4]

GREATEST MOVIE EVER!

Well, except for arfenhouse, you guys top my list. Oh, just wondering though... what the hell are scratch and sniff wires?

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

what's Scratch and Sniff Wires? the most random thing we could come up with for Eric to say in his usual half-awake rambles (he does that sometimes.. and it makes NO SENSE).
Props to you for understanding him though.

["R"]

Overwhelmingly well done.

That was amazing. Your thoughts were very well organized, although sometimes redundant. Then again, it was more like a stream of consciousness, and redundance is common. Very good points. Refreshing. An oasis in a sea of crap. Liked the diversions in the back and at the end. It surprised me, however, that an animator of your calibur cannot make a replay button. Simple instructions follow:

1.) Insert - New symbol

2.) Make a button with chosen graphic.

3.) Isolate button on the stage in a blue square and select "Action".

4.) Select "Actions", then "Movie Control", then "goto". In the box labeled "Frame", enter the frame you want the user to go to when they click the button.

Code should read:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Just felt like helpin out ;)

Da-Dinictus responds:

Flash is, and will remain, a bitch when it comes to replay buttons in a movie clip, in scenes. Even Zen, from the Atomic Bar series, having had enough experience with this problem, couldn't help out. It would just replay the damn epilogue, but I just as well might add it in so some people can replay that. Maybe. School sux, so to speak. -_-;;
