Ardiana's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[White Mage Christmas]

It's soulful

for Everybody:

Graphics: Graphics are nice and glossy, and slick all over. There are nice effects enabled when you click on stuff.

Style: Static. It is just a girl standing there with a wand. It's a very christmasy scene though with her standing there and with the music bringing up tranquillity.

Sound: The music is a theme of an anime Macross Frontier called Diamond Crevasse. Long, alluring theme played with violin. Without the music it's just a nice card, without a soul though.

Violence: There is no violence. Being a christmas edition and all.

Interactivity: Well there are a lot of gizmos on the screen. You can get characters to appear or dissapear by clicking and some effects (and bouncing boobs woohooo!). other than that it's a zilch.

Humor: If you find the furry animals and anime characters that Matt puts in every of his flash amusing you might like this, but other than that really, besides the bouncing boobs (you know there could even be a factor called that in this movie) there really isn't anything to laugh at.

Overall: It's a nice christmas card. With soulful music. And furry little critters.

for Author:

Graphics: Same style, same char. You didn't want to make a WM dressup sim but you had to satisfy for this? Ok. Nice. But I really don't like why she looks to much like Pope Mage, another one of your chars. The style she has here is so NOT White Mage. 8/10

Style: Meh, christmas card. Timing is nice. Also the fact that you pull this off without warning. But, you could have done something more original. I don't know, a SPAM card??? This could of been your piece de resistance, with all the characters you have in your disposal... 4/10

Sound: Nice touch. You pull out this song no-ones ever heard of from an anime noones ever heard of and introduce it over to the public. Nice going putting that link up there cos if I had put it up here I'd get myself shot. Dont know the song but I imagine Diamond crevasse sound like chrismas or ice enough to put it on here. 6/10

Violence: You couldn't include even a LITTLE BIT of hardcore hentai in, could you? Well, okay, I'll forgive ya for now. Guess I'll have to go see if Line Marvel has cooked up any nice, juicy christmas greetings with His character... 0/10

Interactivity: Ok you disabled the buttons from players to press on and added some nice stuff. Well I actually missed the blizzard you promised. I thought clicking on her staff would have made it appear but it didn't hmmm. Just some snow falling down and you could have also made a "BOINGG" sound when you click on her breasts. Thats all. 6/10

Humor: The furry little friends are probably enough humor for your flah. Let's just leave it at that. 3/10

Overall: For somthing that's in in the SPAM locker you've done pretty well. The score is 3,49 where I'm at. I see you've managed to gain a trusting fangroup over the many years on NG for yourself. Either that, or then you're just struck yourself really lucky this time. 6/10

matt-likes-swords responds:

Uh, thanks for the massive review I guess.
Let's just say that I didn't try too hard on this one eh.

[Wolfenstein 3D Headshot]

Its fun to watch over and over again

Grpahics: 7

Not really much you can do diffrently without replacing the sprites with anything else. Adding face exprssions on the guys and the character is a nice addition and i cant think of any more graphically, th eonly thing might be a little more of those extra texts like "lol he fainted". i think i might ahve seen one guy puke under himself when he was shot but i'm not sure if it happened....

Style: 8

Ok, even because of the gamestyle-interface where most of the score is made by the characters owning in the game world, it doesnt overcome the fact that he makes an impossible save at the last seconds. The idea that you, the author make a decision to change the "game" into an unrealistical direction by fearing that other people think youre a nazi, is unforgivable and somehow useless to me. Artists should be allowed what artists must do. If hitler won in the first place he should have won. There is no "pity victory" in this game. The character had 1 life left at the moment, I recall it means dying.......

Sound: 4

The biggest area of improvement in the game- err i mean movie. The sound is occasionally too loud and startles you out like the music part in the start when it continues on into the game the guys voice is way too high compared to the music. also the ending music is too silent if you wanna listen to it after the credits. otherwise the music themes r awesome and the sounds are hilarious.

Violence: 10

"There guys bust thorugh there going BOOM! HEADSOT sucka there guys going to the starits going BOOM HEADSHOT!!! oh yeah Headshot man Head Shot...." what more there is to add? O_O

Interactity: 6

The play and replay button at the movie work and the movie is so short and funny u wont miss having any other buttons. ;)

Humor: 9

The BOOM! Headshot joke wears out during the movie, but to my surpirse I fund that it still kinda Works even despite of that. So, Thumbs Up! :)

Overall: 6

This movie actually has so high of a violence perhaps that it lowers the overall on my mind. You really have to be on a twisted mood to be able to like to watch this. =)

DuDuL responds:

Dear Ardlana.
I thank you for such a detailed comment filled with everything a NORMAL review should have.

Yea i guess i did a wrong move with the "im not a nazi"... well i cant backwards time, i have to face what comes.

About the one life... it really depends... Sometimes "1 life" means you can revive yourself one more time, and sometimes as You say it means death so i would leave that topic like it is.

About the sounds... Well yeah... I noticed that too, and when i did it was too late to change. So yeah...

Well overally again thanks for LONG review (taking look on few pages filled with one sentence reviews or even less). I really thank you for poinitng mostly everything and i hope to see you in future...
See ya

[Indiana Jones The Boulder]

my marks:

Graphics: 4

Because i love Indiana Jones and the Boulder is cute. Any more would be mockery against those who actually make GOOD movies out of simple graphics.

Style: 4

It started well, but the end.... well pretty much says it all. Didn't catch it.

Sound: 7

vilence: 3

I know it's supposed to be violent because it has Indiana Jones (it sort of part of what he's known for) but the Boulder is just too darn cute. and he didn't CATCH Indy. the way I see it he's like a Pikachu going "chu chu chu" after a rambo guy with a whip. you can't give high vilence from that....

Interactivity: 4

Humor: 6

Funny To an Extent..... but don't push it. Don't do this again r I'll may have to blam you.

I don't understand how a file that big loaded quick enough to view anyway.....

Overall: 4

Meth09 responds:

its spelled violence you fucking idiot

[Bad Baby]

As a note to the previous reviewer

Yes, I am one of those perverts who thought there's some wanking material here. But proven wrong like many, many times before. Damn! They use female images a lot on the front page!

Graphics: 9

It's smootly drawn so easy to watch and besides Eye Candy.

Style: 7

Not entireyl to my favoring, but defeintely weird enough to keep me positively intersted.

Sound: 7

Nothing complicated, but fits the scenes. Reminds me of those David Firth / Spoilsbury Toast boy submissions.

Violence: 8

Interactivity: 6

Humor: 2

It's funny how everyone else in this movie judging from the sound is having fun BUT me.

Don't know where else to put it but it aannoyed me to go back frame by frame to see that the pig said "Timothy Bergen will die" it went bye so fast.

Overall: 6

Would have been higher were it not for the large file size.

Catoblepas responds:

I think there are more male images in there. Also good job catching that little blurb.

[Indiana Jones - too old?]

well haven't seen the movie yet...

but this one deals pretty well. Here's my marks:

Graphics: 6

Style: 8

Sound: 6

Pretty good but it sounded like you just made them with your mouth, not very professional.

Vilence: 7

Ahh, the rolling boulder. Old gag. Wonder if they STILL use it in the movie itself...

Interactivity: 6

Humor: 6 or 8

This is problematic, you see the first I thought Indy said: "Ahh my HAT" but then seeing the review I learned he said "Ahh my HIP" which is not quite suited to Indy's style. You know his comments about his leather jackets and how he tries to get past security guards by trying to sell them in games, so it woulda been a better tribute. but yeah, overall pretty funny.

Overall: 7

I'll give it a nods up, and a 4 vote, because youve managed to keep the filesize decent.

Scottspictures responds:

Why thank you good sir. Never though about him saying "aw my hat" ... try to keep that in mind sir. Thank you sir. Sir.

[Fishing Lives]

too fast

if it were slower i might have given it a three vote the idea is good for making smokeing like a fishing hook and the way aall those peoplee down there were moving like fisshiees. however theres one thing it, looked liake god was the one whos fishing ppl away with a cigarette and thats not exactly how it works... hm, unless you see asmoking as a religion... a very good point... and u make a comparison to St. Peter the fisherman of men in the Bible, a very good point indeed.

AligatorHead responds:

limit is 27 seconds.

the point is, i wanted to give otu a message that once you do it your "hooked"

[The Beastmaster]

well it gets...

-1 for the annoying clicking with each percent loaded

-1 for swearing

-1 for dumb plot

-1 becasue its short

TOTAL vote: 1

EdibleCastle responds:

theres no clicking on my machine.
