Impetus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Epic of Beowulf, book 1]

Nice.

Yes, it's painfully obvious this is a "first flash" from the badly tweened movement.

But that does not matter, for I found this quite entertaining and funny. Great use of the music (especially the LTTP tunes). I wanted to see more!

[Scallies V Goths]

Transatlantic cultural lesson.

In the USA "scallie" types would usually be "wiggers".

Also, goths are usually quite nerdy and don't know how to fight.

[Cutethulhu]

Wow!

I find gems like these hidden in other peoples' reviews.

3.79????? This easily deserves a 4+ rating. And only a Daily 3rd? This is a weekly winner quality flash.

I wasn't actively watching NG in Feb. 2003 so I don't know if this was on the front page or not. It should have been. Heck, I'd take off some of the crap on the current front page in favor of this.

Any nerd worth his food-stained t-shirt knows who HP Lovecraft is, so you don't need any long explanations to the audience.

I'd like a long explanation for NG viewers on why this is rated so low, though. It looks and sounds great, and is hilarious!

touched responds:

I don't think it ever made the front page, no. As for the rating, it did have a rating over 4 for a long while without any voting on my part, and peaked at #14 on the all-time chart, but then I saw it drop a tenth of a point every day until it was off the chart. Someone with an agenda, I believe. I do appreciate the support of viewers like you! My current work is a whole generation above this one, so keep checking back for its release.

[Hamtaro Preview]

I hope the other Hamtaro movies have better jokes.

The visuals were nice, the music was nice. Youe even put a replay button in there, too.

But you need more of a joke than "Hamtaro smokes weed and gets high." I was waiting for a good punchline and I was quite dissapointed.

If you make more of these, think up some better jokes. Then you'll have a good thing going.

[B The Movie...]

hey, Jose..

Was this "B" the same famous Clock Crew "B" or a different "B"? A lot of people are complaining that this dishonors the CC "B", but they might be all fussing over nothing if this has nothing at all to do with the famous red "B".

Also, the black text over the dark grey background was annoying to read. You might want to fix that.

[Robot Project Final Piece]

I likey.

This was funny, and stylish.

Good choice of music, too. Into my list of favorites this goes!!

[Walking player tutorial]

Dude.

"Yea? well guess what! suck my flippin balls!!! Just suck em!!! whore! if you cant deal with da skillz.... suck em! and you have no business looking at this tutorial anyways! you dont have any flash! it pisses me off when people who have no idea what the hell they're talking about review something badly... It may be pointless to you but you can bet your left nipple that it'll help someone.. and are you running a small moniter? the text size is 28!!! the blue is text size 9.... how the hell cant you read the 28? "

--------------

Chill the hell out, man. That didn't show much in the way of "skillz", it was an uninspired slideshow tutorial.

And yes, that blue text was difficult to read. I'll bet both your mom's nipples that this won't help anyone.

though you werent clear... it did help alot for me and now i can make an animation

Hmmm... looks like you'll have to cut off all your gender defining parts and send them to me in the male (male, lol)

[Legacy episode 1]

Very good.

If I am not mistaken, I reviewed your trailer for this some time ago, and I wanted to see more.

Well, now I have, and I liked it. For some reason (not sure if it was my problem or not) the volume was rather low and I had to turn up my speakers to hear the dialogue

The soundeffects, music, backgrounds and battle animation were excellent. Bonus points for good pronunciation of Japanese.

I myself pronounce the language decently but I thoroughly suck at acting, unless you have a nerdy 13-year old who needs a voice. (my voice really sucks for my age) Best of luck finding your ten good men! (or women.. it might be cool if you put some females into the series.)

Thanks for the good work. I hope my own voiced flash series will come out as decent.

[Love, Wink]

But this time...

..but this time it's 1591.2 K!

I liked it, though. Thoroughly entertaining flash with great sound-effects and music.

The simple visual style of Wink's universe would make for a great game!

Good work. Thanks for sharing.

gel responds:

Glad to share.

You're right, the file is pretty big, but how about that music huh? It's eating up the filesize, but I say it's worth it.

Hehe, this just may become a game afterall. I thought about making it a game when I first started making the movie, then recently synj said he'd like to see a game made from this, so you never know!
