Ignyte's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spend It Wisely]

Very Nice

Overall: 8/10 : 4/5

Audio: 8/10
Animation: 7/10
Plot: 10/10

Sound quality was alright, a little distorted in parts but the Acting was awesome and it held consistency throughout the animation.
A nice little rap also added to the entire quality of the flash.
Background sounds etc, superb!

The animation itself, although a little bit sketchy, wasnt bad at all to what I initially thought. they style remained consistent and the 'whacky' method of which the characters have been drawn to express is very effective.
There's quite a bit of bizzare shit going on in this but that seems to add to the overall quality of the animation.

Plot-wise, it's perfect!
I honestly wouldnt change the story at all!
I'm not sure if you have seen that movie that was made in Macromedia Flash called 'Lil Pimp' but This flash kinda reminds me of it for some reason.

Overall, I'd be proud of the result, It's a lengthy flash which is very nice to have every once in a while, and although it's not exactly perfect, it's definitely enjoyable with many scenes that will make you laugh.

Well worth a watch, and well worth the front page.
Congrats

This isnt as review

I'm not going to do one of my usual reviews, I just wanted to point out how much better this is to watch with a normal sounding voice.

You'll have to bare with me here as im ridiculously hung-over...

Okay.
The voice acting was quite nice although just the tiniest bit more would make the voice acting perfect, a lack of ambient sounds sorta removes depth from your flash and it looses its appeal.
It's actually a good tip to write down, sound is your friend, don't be afraid to use ambient sounds to help give depth to your work.

The Animation was nice and smooth, but the hard thing to judge about here is that I'm not sure if your trying to go for the authentic minecraft look, or a minecraft-like look.
with the characters having no hands, the creeper looking perfect and the scenery + clouds at the end of the animation, It tells me that your trying to replicate the game's look, but then you go the completely opposite direction with the square/triangle eyes, the bendy body and most importantly, the mine where some of the scenery wasn't in block-form at all, which made the animation part was hard to judge, I have no idea what look your trying to go for...

The plot, well, title anyways was completely irrelevant to the plot of this flash.
the only thing that links the title to the actual animation is at the very end and in the credits it says "CSI: Minecraft"
You do know that CSI is a criminal/mystery tv program right?
and yet, this flash has none of that, which is why the title is really irrelevant.
The sudden ending surprised me also, I was under the impression that the flash was going to continue and hopefully tell more of a story apart from "ow, a creeper blew up on me"
"Creeper? sounds like you got creeped out" -Ending.

In the end, this was a good flash in terms of the quality, worth watching? hmmmmmm I guess if your bored, but to be honest its a single-pun flash thats irrelevant to it's own title.
You have a nice animating style and the quality in both the drawing and the sound was beautiful.
Keep up the good work, just work on your plot and story-lines.

Not really what I'd call front page material.

Cool review. To explain tho-
Sound- Minecraft isn't very ambient with sound effects when you're in a cave or indoors. It's very basic. Creepers don't even make sounds until you're up close. Though there was cave ambience and the explosion was edited to sound better.

Animation- Blocky is the look, but to make things look fluid, one needs to squash and stretch. Thus the bendiness of the characters.

Plot- Plot? It's Minecraft! There's no plot to minecraft except build and survive. This joke happened in our private server and it was hilariously awful, so I told it as it happened in this cartoon and people seem to like it. That's really all I was trying to portray. Perhaps the title is somewhat misleading?

Though I think you're overthinking it a bit, this is still a great review. Good read. Thank you, and enjoy the wine!

Well!

Overall: 4/5 : 9/10

Audio: 10/10
Animation: 9/10
Plot: 10/10

Well!
I absolutely loved the sound quality and clarity!
The voice acting was simply superb! and BG Noises and Effect Sounds were perfect and... well... yeah.

The moment I saw that this was an anime-styled drawing my expectations dropped, but seriously, you did a damn good job of animating it!
just a few little things like the head turn and the lack of body movement lowered your score a tad, but overall you put in alot of effort and It really shows.

Plot wise, It's funny, I kinda expected the dude to be the monster however the cut-scene-images were a nice twist which wasnt expected.
However it was nicely put together, executed well and was a huge success!

All in all, I simply loved the quality and consistency of the entire flash, im tru;y impressed!
Congratulations, this is definitely worthy of the front page.

[MvC3: Iron Man]

impressive!

Overall: 5/5 : 10/10

Audio: 10/10
Animation: 10/10
Plot: 10/10

Simply, wow...
The sound quality was amazing, no compression issues or bad voice acting.
I especially liked how you simulated the sound of tony talking with his mask/helmet thing on. It's detail like that that made your score reach the perfect mark (in audio).

Animation, quality wise was nice, appealing and had plenty of effects and eye candy.
Although there was a lack of moving parts perse, in this case, the simplicity worked and the quality tied everything together to make a professional flash.

Plot wise, it was funny, witty and everything inbetween.
Theres really not much else that I can say about the plot apart from the fact that it was perfectly fine!

All in all, this is the very first animation that I have reviewed and have given it a perfect score, In my personal opinion, I would have much preferred to have seen this flash advertised and promoted rather than that 'Rampage' one.
It really is nice to see a decent flash every once in a while, and it makes me happy to actually review these things again. (So long as there are at least a few decent ones thrown in to keep my interest and sanity up)
This is well worth the front page, if not a page of its own.

Congrats! and goodluck on your future projects.

damn, you people put so much thought into these i just HAVE to respond.

thanks for the review!

[Can you Diglett?]

ehh...

Overall: 2/5 : 5/10

Audio: 4/10
Animation: 5/10
Plot: 5/10

Okay so lets get this on with eh?
all sounds were horrid, the sample for diglett was too compressed and way too quiet. the Voice acting, quality of the sound and the volume was terrible.
Also, Fun Fact: auto playing music once an animation has loaded isn't a very good idea.

The animation wasnt very impressive either, i'd suggest turning up your frame-rate alot and spending more time on each frame to bring out a far better and smoother animation.

Plot wise, I kinda get the whole Gary vs Ash rivalry thing, but in all honesty, the flash as a whole, story wise was kinda 'blech' and Where did the snorlax come from?

Im afraid that this was not worth the minuets it took to load, nor the front page.
Im sorry, but hopefully you will stick at animating and will get better.

[Nerds can never love]

Quite impressive, but short.

Overall: 4/5 : 9/10

Audio: 10/10
Animation: 10/10
Plot: 9/10

The Sound, voice acting and BGM. was simply put, flawless!
The crying sounded very realistic, their expressions sounded real and human-like too. This is quite remarkable!

The animation is different, in a good way. I like different, and this style works quite nicely. The detail, movements, everything were all perfect.

now for the plot, the one thing that refused this flash a perfect score.

It was the length of all things. the plot was more or less obvious, with it being valentines day and all, the couples in the windows etc etc. But I think you were clutching at straws a bit with the ending, and im damn certain that you know this too.
Yes the Animation seemed to have stopped abruptly, but you added in a small joke to try and compensate for it? add a little bit more in, or something.
Yes yes, it was funny and all but It seemed a bit unnecessary.

So all in all, this is one damn good flash! probably one of my highest rated reviews too.
Keep up the good work, this is well worth the front page place.

[Trey Archer]

heh heh heh ^_^

Overall: 4/5 : 9/10

Audio: 8/10
Animation: 10/10
Plot: 10/10

Lets get started shall we?
The voice acting itself was excellent, however the quality of the voice for the main character sounded rather reverbed, or echo'y.
and a voice that sounds slightly off or the way it shouldnt be for a main character really kills the score.
The voice acting for the client was perfectly fine and the BGM was well suited for the kind of themes.

I really dont need to go into detail about the animation or plot as they were perfect.
a few tiny little imperfections in the quality of the animation but nothing too noticeable for the general viewer.

This flash has been the only flash in a long time thats really made me laugh, that ruthless bastard of a detective is fucking funny!
This is damned perfect for the front page!

[Captain Planet Rampage]

right-o

Overall: 4/5 : 9/10

Audio: 8/10
Animation: 9/10
Plot: 10/10

Right, so the BGM was alright, quality wise it was perfect, but interest wise it wasnt really much at all.
What really killed the score for the audio was the poor voice-acting of the policeman, it was very 'forced-acted' (if that makes sense) and normally that wouldnt make much of a difference of the score however the policeman played a rather lengthy role, forcing the viewers to listen to that bad voice acting for far longer than we really wanted to...

The Animation was good, some of the 'special effects' kinda lacked the 'special' but apart from that it was good.

Plot-wise, this was flawless. I wouldnt change a thing.

Yes yes its a very good animation and its definitely worthy of the front page however, for all the hype and promotion about it, I really expected something more.
