Knuckstrike's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Sugar Claws: F.C.]

A worthy end

Before I started the story, I decided that I wanted to search for the easter eggs. The first three pages I looked for them, after that I completely forgot about it.

The story, with your style and all, takes some time to get into. But after that, it becomes a story I get sucked in and don't want to get out anymore. I didn't look away from my computer screen until I read the whole thing. The story is well thought of, and had twists in the plot that made me want to continue reading. There isn't a way a story can be better, right?

The beautiful graphics and the unique way of showcasing the flash makes me give the flash a 10 based on the story alone. I have to admit I don't really care about all the production art etc. It's a welcome addition, so absolutely not a negative point, don't get me wrong.

Please, please make a few other stories like this. I'm looking forward to it already.

Celx-Requin responds:

Hello,

I have one other completed comic on the portal called "Cooljaw: Dreaming Darkly" if you wanna check that out!

The easter eggs are found in the second chapter, the sixth chapter, and at the end of the credits.

Thanks,

[Ropey Rick & Friends]

So it's an preview/intro

For an introduction, it's pretty great. Not much authors spend so much time on an introduction video. Though for a real flash, it's a bit too short. It would be funny to see what they did to his house a bit more, because all I saw was bandit boy falling through the ceiling of the house and fly boy crashing in the kitchen, but I don't think that's what made the house crash completely.

I liked the characters, they all had their own personality and their funny things. Compliments on the voice acting too. But you could make the voice of bandit boy a bit clearer sometimes. Maybe it's because english is my second language, but I can't hear what he said right after drool boy said: ''Do you think he's mad at us 'cause what we did to his house?''
You don't need to change that though, because maybe it's just bandit boy's charm.

GristlyBear responds:

It is indeed a preview! I had been doodling them all a bit (particularly Ropey Rick) so this was really me trying to transfer these guys from paper to animation. Bandit Boy simply said "yup". If he's hard to understand, it's cuz he has a cloth covering his mouth, sorry!

Thanks for the review :P

[Resistance Is Futile]

Haha

You have a large fantasy, and you show it well. The giant space ship, the buildings made of under judgement flashes, etc. It's really thought out well. The story you tell is quite funny too, because it has some realistic aspects in it. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the slavery of clocks is actually happening.
But most importantly, you really showed the spirit of clock day: voting 5. Because that's what clock day is all about, right? Though this flash actually deserves a 5, even if it weren't clock day. Not just because of the story, because the graphics are very nice too.

CorpseGrinderClock responds:

Making the buildings out of the under-judgement things is an idea I must credit to RenegadeClock and his masterpiece "Anniversary" (which everyone should watch, it's amazing)

Thank you for the nice review!

[The Sugar Claws: V-VII]

Haven't seen something like this before.

This is the second flash I've seen from you, and I think it's pretty high quality, and the drawing really improved. The idea is very nice, and it attracts me: I want to read more. Although the story is pretty sober, the drawings were pretty cheerful, so that contrasts nice.

I don't really get the first three pages of the ''book'' though, the ones who are mainly dark blue. They were beautiful, but a bit weird. Could you explain that a bit more? Or is that coming in the next episode?

Maybe, for improvement, you could make something else move in the pictures except for the text. That would make the book pop a little more, and give it something extra. And could you make that you skip to the next page if you press the right/left keys on your keyboard?

Nonetheless the drawings are great, and the story was pretty good too. A bit weird, but not in a negative way.

Celx-Requin responds:

The first three pages are blue because it's a dream sequence, if you read the one prior I think it would have been more apparent.

Thanks,

[Ed Snowball TRAILER]

Better than expected.

I thought the zombies looked quite well (at least better than I can make them), and the FAQ was quite funny. The FAQ had useful questions, at least the things I wanted to know. Make sure you make somewhat of a story in your game though, because the concept isn't too original, and there are enough ''kill all zombies'' games. Its always great to have a funny ''death by zombie'' animation too, for if you die.

I'm looking forward to lots of upgrades and zombie kills!

DannyDaNinja responds:

There will be a lot of different death animations, depending on when, where and how you die. The story line will evolve as the game goes on, and at one point you'll find your survivor group tasked with finding a cure. And no upgrades sorry :'(

Oh, and thanks for writing such a massive review! :)

[asdfmovie: Newblood]

It looks a lot like the original...

Generally, I like tributes, but this one just wasn't that funny. It had a bit of the same humour, but nearly all the jokes are already made by TomSka (or very close to it), so that makes it not as funny. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it's just not nearly as funny as the asdfmovies.

Mentalholik responds:

6/10 is better than 0/10 - thanks :)

[ASuperMarioBrosQuicky4]

WTF?

I don't like it. It's too vague. Why did Mario hit Luigi and why did he like it? What does the fast swimming have to do with the story? It's not funny too.
What I do like is the music. That's well chosen.

Mario8th responds:

Thanks?
Its just supposed to be random...

[A Simple Journey]

Pretty good

I like the simple style, and I am happy that you didn't stop at the point he died. Now it has a real story, and a deeper thought. Really cute.

ClockworkPixel responds:

thanks :)

[Yoshi's Brawl]

Yes, finally!

It was really great! And what I love the most about this flash is that almost never the main person in a fighting flash is Yoshi. Finally someone who understands that Yoshi is the best fighter in brawl! The only improvement would be that Yoshi turned someone into an egg, because that is the most epic attack. Apart from that, it's perfect.

Joeylicious responds:

Wait...I did make him turn Tails into an egg and kick him away...
Or were you sayin sumthin else?

[Bulbasaur's Adventure]

Too short

I like the animation, but it's really too short. If you say in the title ''Bulb's adventure'', then let him go on an adventure, not : Bulb fell off cliff EDN. Make a longer movie of this sort, and you can easily get a high score.

gwokymarla responds:

It was an adventure, an adventure to hell!
