ShadowWarriorLuke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SpriteTT#4:FinalFantasy]

Good work

Well, I'm not as enthusiastic about FF as I used to be, but this was a good collab.

Square Hard: This was pretty funny. The beginning with Shadow was good, along with the killer moogle. Ended a bit abruptly, but I guess that happens a lot with TT stuff. Edits weren't bad.

Tootbook: Heh heh, Leo's a perv. Explains why he gets beaten up so often in FF sprite flashes. And I gotta admit, Cecil and Edgar talking camp is pretty funny. A bit difficult to tell who was speaking though. Well, you know I like your stuff anyway. =P

HAcoreRD: Nice representation of Kefka. Always knew he was a wuss, but an evolved Edward would take it a bit far (I prefer Kuja, he's more calculating and I like that in a villain). Heh, Gau's grammar is already bad enough without learning 1337 though. Good work.

Xanadu32: Nice FFVII sprites. The fight scene was a bit slow, but the ending was funny.

Luigi_dude12: Hmm. Not as good as the others. The fight scene was OK, but a bit off in parts. Plus other than the weird pink guy it wasn't really humourous. The sprites used were good though. The end was disturbing, but raised a smile.

Voted 4 overall, would have given the review score an 8, but the music brought it down a bit. :( I noticed Blue Laguna in the credits. It would have been cool to hear some music from non-FF games. Star Ocean and Shadow Hearts have some pretty good tunes, along with some of the other games.

That aside, good work everyone.

SquareHard responds:

well, the benny hill was non FF? <3, but other than that, pretty much all FF, but it was a FF TT after all anyways :D, thx for the review

[The morals of Clocktopia]

OGM CLOX

LIEK I WIL BLAM U BCUZ I M 12 YARS OLD ADN YUO USED CLOX WICH TAK NO TALENT AND R ALL BAD LIEK B EVUN THO I DON NO HWO 2 MAEK FLASH!

Anyone who takes the preceeding sentence seriously (or even worse, USES something to that effect in a review) is obviously beyond help.

Nice graphics on this. Music got a bit repetetive, and it could have done with subtitles. However, I need time to take it in that he's not done a phantom poo...

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 05]

Improved over the last one

This is looking a lot better now. That extra scene was a bit disturbing, heh heh. I like the sarcastic streak that Crono has in this series (I have a sarcastic sense of humour myself, so I can relate). Nice touch on choosing where you can go, too. I noticed a higher framerate in this one too, and the sword-slashing looked pretty nice.

The only setback is that it's still somewhat short. I was expecting it to at least get to where Marle disappears before ending. Also, regarding music size. Try exporting the swf at 16kbps sound, or right-click on the mp3 in your library, go to properties and uncheck the "Use imported MP3 quality" box and set it to 16kbps. The quality of music won't be affected too much, and the file size will definitely go down (I assume it's still the music bringing the filesize up).

That aside, I enjoyed this episode, and you're getting good at flash. Looking forward to the next.

Cryokenetic responds:

Thanks for the tips. I will try and implament them in the next EP.

[TC's Journey Pt. 1 DVD/SE]

All hail Strawberry and B!

A very B animation indeed my good man. Nice effect on the car flipping too. Pube Muppet needs subtitles though. Overall I enjoyed.

TurdClock responds:

:)

[Zelda: Tales of Legend]

Now this looks like it could be worthwhile...

Not been much in the way of Zelda flash recently. Must have taken a while to do all the camera panning and such. I felt that it was used a bit too much though. Some of the music got on my nerves after a while too. The remixes weren't bad though. The 0 in Humour... well, it's not meant to be a humourous flash, so that's why.

I'll keep an eye out for this series.

PyroWizard responds:

Perhaps I did overdo the various "camera effects"... I've had mixed responses on them, some people saying they like it, some people saying they don't. I guess I should cut down on the pans/zooms a bit in the next one.

Thanks for the review.

[A Decline Christmas]

OK, that was funny

Yeah. Proves that we Brits are the best at comedy. =P

The graphics and animation was very smoothly done in this. The sound carckled a bit with some of the voices, but it wasn't anything that took too much away from the movie. I like the whole thing of video game obsession that was going on this too. The PC World scenes were the funniest in my opinion, along with the Dim action figure ad. Pity there were no mini-games in this one, but I guess they're being saved for Decline 3.

Overall, some nice work. I was a bit on/off about Decline 2 (some parts I liked, some I didn't), but this was definitely some good work.

[The Truth About NG]

Heh heh...

CONSPIRACY! Of course, there's the issue of "depositing" experience too. Why is it done? What benefits do we gain? There has to be something behind the evils of experience depositing. Otherwise it wouldn't be so addictive! Every deposit must be funding a secret experimental weapons factory!

Seriously though, that was some great work. Good to see a few more NG parodies being submitted (bar the Piconjo stuff of course. And yes, I like some of Piconjo's flash). Clean graphics, good music and some funny stuff.

[The FinalFantasyColection]

I don't normally bother with these...

... but it's good to see someone finally mock that overrated series after so many repetitive FF portal entries recently. Funny stuff indeed. Kudos to SBC and everyone who helped make this.
