wilker's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stalingrad 1942]

Excellent.

The simplicity is a plus. Personally if i get too detailed with my flash i abandon them before they're finished. The music and style and violence was all very nice. You handled it well.

Ironic that, besides their helmets, they are exactly the same.

Sgt-Mac responds:

Well, basically all the soldiers are the same, except the uniforms. When someone dies no one even knows who he/she was. As Stalin once said, "One death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic."

[Anti-Skub]

I like your style.

The jittery animation isn't overdone [like in many flashes] and the simplistic characters invoke a sense of deepness instead of laziness.

Personally i'm not in the mindset that some goo is worth killing fellow humans, but regarding the matter i am quite ignorant.

Fische responds:

Thanks for the positive review! It really made my day! 8D

[4 Fighter sticks]

I'm not a big fan of meaningless violence,

but this was well-animated, semirealistic, even. The layering of colour was a good idea. If you could somehow destickman the characters and add the semblence of plot, it would be greater.

[Fresh Prince: Alternative]

Well now.

You claim to have made the song, excellent work on that. You might want to upload it to the audio portal. As a flash this isn't very appealing, i would have liked to see will smith in his laughable costume go around collecting pokey mans with the pokey and the man and the guy comes out and he makes a big RAW GAR GREAWR GHA GAHR.

[Merry Melony ep.1]

This is a lot of wow.

Excellently drawn and animated. Enthrallingly unique style. Good voices, music and sound.

Amazing.

By the way, the link to the site in the end is broken.

[Mascot Soup]

This was dull.

The repetitive BGM, simplistic characters, and meaningless violence make this a dull flash to observe. The blue eyed fellow had a few somewhat decent animations done, but over all it was not fun to look at. The final scene was significantly better done than the rest.

punkromance responds:

Okay... if you don't like that background music then next time we'll add something better. Anyway, it shouldn't really matter how "simplistic" characters are... If you want to complain about that, go and watch some stick figure animations. And meaningless violence? It wasn't exactly like that... It had a theme, andwe used it, so yeah.

Also, "blue eyed fellow"? What?

[Logic]

It takes a masterful skill...

...to present an ensnaring narrative with so basic a medium.

Graphics- The pixelated images were appropriately formed and smoothly animated. Did you draw the images in MSpaint or somesuch programa nd import them?

Style- I think this flash works much better with the blocky, simplistic shapes than it would have with more drawn out characters, even if they were well drawn.

Sound- The voice is very well done. It is well articulated, and sounds pleasant. You being female, i suppose you had a friend help you with this?

Violence- Playful and well treated.

Interactivity- Play button, and enthralling story.

Humour-Oh dear... i won't be an idiot and quote every phrase that made me laugh; suffice to say, this is by far the most hilarious and logical flash i have seen all year.

Amazing job. Also, regarding the ninja theory, i think that is also how the fictional "Force" of the star wars fiction works. It is evenly split twixt sith and jedi. Then those halves are evenly divided among their sides. The jedi's powers were weakening because there were hundreds sharing the same "force stock" while the sith, being only two, each had a fourth of all force power in the universe.

Sorry for rambling, excellent work.

Emptygoddess responds:

I drew everything in blood, shaped each of the blood drops into small blocks, put the blocks into my computer, and then imported them into flash.

["One More Minute"]

I've always hated this song,

it makes me cringe terribly. But your flash makes it much more appreciable. Thanks.

Excellent work.

[sharkey]

I think i understand what you are trying to do.

But it doesn't seem well actualized. It would be cool if you could improve it.

petemoores responds:

Any ideas on how i could improve it? I'm going to use it in my portfolio so I want it to look as good as possible. I've seen it so much I don't think I could be objective on it any more.

Cheers wilker
