Shards's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Killing Spree V]

Meh.

I noticed, as I watched the whole series, that these movies got more and more boring as they progressed.... Maybe it was the actual plot, although that wasn't half bad, so I'd say it was just that it got sooooo repetitive. The matrix effects were way overdone, and there's the whole how-the-fuck-does-this-kid-have-super-ultra-powers thing, that kinda grates on me.
From a technical standpoint, visually the thing is a beautiful peice of work. Bee-ew-tee-ful. Just the story could use a bit of work.

Hmm. Am I the only one who noticed that- in a series called killing spree- there was more killing in the intros than the rest of the actual movie?

[ET meets Zangief]

Good Goddess, do you ever suck.

After watching a couple of your movies, the question "Why the fuck are you wasting Newgrounds' bandwidth" comes to mind, and, after reading a page or two of your reviews, it's followed by "Who the fuck do you think YOU are, Mr. Hot Shit? Where do you get off on calling everyone else's stuff shit, when it seems you can't even tell your monitor from your asshole?"

Mervin responds:

Temper...temper :)

I better be careful not to piss off a somewhat tubby-faced "witch". You make Canadians look bad. I think it's awesome that people vote high on my crappy movies, they like them for the humor (which is old school NG humor), Sprite based movies just get votes cause they are sprites. And sprites are lame. Even my sprite movie.

[MegaMan X SS Trailer]

Yawn.

All in all, pretty boring.
I actually stumbled across your flash by linking from the review you left on "Zeros True Mission".
Dude. Next time you're gonna knock someone down, especially on trivial shit like frame rate, make sure your shit is better than theirs.

MegaManX2 responds:

I am pretty sure, Is not that I went to "knock" down on there 'shit'. I am actually there to help out one what with what I see might be better than my crap. I am very aware! I didn't finish mine. But I won't deny I did a pretty good job at the FPS. My movie was only but a trailer, and I never finished it due to that I just never had the time. I only posted my link so that person would see what I was refering to. And Problaby redo there movie, most likely blowing mind out of the water. So please next time think before you speak. And leave a review not a complaint. -_-

[Zeros True Mission]

Dude...

Was this MegaMan, or fuckin' DBZ? I couldn't quite tell.
Still, it's some damn fine work, despite the cheezy flying bit, and the abrupt ending, and the short length, and the odd text boxes...
But yeah, otherwise good.

[Sounds Of Thunder]

Wow. Just wow.

This is the 3rd time now that I'm watching this movie... It's probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on Newgrounds. Indescribably.
And the style kind of reminds me of Ameile...
In any case, kudos to you. Really.

[Porter Core Final Project]

I liked it a lot.

It was really meaningful, I thought. I mean, it is true, I've seen the same thing. A few strokes here, whatever, let's add this colour 'cause it looks cool, and wow, I'm done.
But anyway. Nice flash.
And jeez, only 200mg? Is that all? I drink that much in a day.

[smoke kills]

That was too awesome.

Oh man. He blew up the entire frickin' world. Probably has no idea it's his fault, either.

So hmm. Smoking *does* kill. Hmm....

[FAILED]

BWAH!

Too short! Good, but too short!

[Sonic VS Shadow]

Great effort.

You need to increase your repitoire of sprites though. The few that you had just didn't cut it. Edit them if you can't find ones that fit, but it looks rather silly with Shadow just floating up against the wall (for instance).

Zackthejackal responds:

Thanks man, I really did try. I watch it myself from time to time for action. Btw did anyone here watch the ? mark at the end!? IT SHOWS SEPHIROTH AS A HEDGEHOG! Only one person has seen it obviously since only that one person reviewed about it...

[...........]

Bo-ring.

Great concept, great eye opener, great purpose; poor presentation. It could have benefited from having more than just spinning pictures and texts. I 4'd it nonetheless, since it is an important issue and a very good comparison.
