Hemlok's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Behind the Magic]

Hilarious!

This is what I call a clock movie! Everything was perfect! I almost fell off my chair laughing so hard! A clock flash doesn't get much better then this. The graphics were great. Nice backgrounds and nice character drawings. Perfect style to this. Never in my life have I seen a clock movie like this. It was a nice change of pace! Exellent voices. Starting from the narrator to the main characters! I wish there was some violence in this flash though. Would have been a nice touch. This flash was just flat out hilarious! The speed of Strawberry Clock and Orange Clock's conversation was perfect. That's wad made this funny. I honestly don't think it could be any funnier. The Star Syndicate comment was great! Over all this is a great clock movie, probably one of the best I've seen. The only thing that could be improved is some violence and make your next one longer! Great job makeing this flash. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a bunch for the wave of suggestions. Violence would've been the icing on the cake, i guess. As for a "next time", i'm thinking about making something, but no promises as of yet.

Two thumbs way up!

I think you have done the impossible. You made a flash with so much action but still made it cute. That alone deserves a ten! Now onto the review. I gave you a ten for graphics because I just really enjoyed them! I loved the detail you had in the backgrounds. The best thing about the graphics were the guns. They looked great and life like. I gave you a six for style because I just kept on referring this flash to the Madness series. Thought this is still a great flash, I just keep on thinking this is a rip off. I gave you a nine for sound because of the sound effects. I just found them cute and perfect for this flash. I also loved the high pitched voices that you barely heard. I wish you used those voices a lot more then you did! It would have made this flash so much better. I think why I gave you a ten for violence is self explanatory. I've been seeing a lot of these flashes were it's just action all the way through which is just great! The thing that I look for the most in violent flashes like this is blood spray. I feel you had your own blood style and it was good for this flash. I also liked how you made it kid friendly. It's not like you had guts flying everywere and staining the walls. That can be a good thing sometimes. I gave you a nine for humor because of the easter eggs and of course the ending! I liked looking at the things you put in the background. I really enjoyed the Spider Man hanging on the wall in the beginning. One of the best parts was when the two worms were playing poker. I laughed so hard after that! I don't think there is any better ending then the one you used. I loved seeing Master Chief and Samus fighting by Max's side. Overall this is a great flash! The only thing that you could have improved on was useing more of that high pitched voice more. Congratulations on the awards, you really do deserve them! Once again great job makeing this flash! I just hope to see a lot more flashes like this from you!

[The Little Jamurai II]

Great action.

I loved the action in this flash very creative! The graphics were great! I loved the basic black and white style to it. The characters were in great detail and the surroundings were great as well. I also thought the weapons were amazing and looked very life like. I gave you ten for style because of the black and white colors. It fit very well in the story. What I also thought was very stylish was the blood spray when the samurai's got killed. It was very creative; I've never seen anyone use blood like that before great job! As far as sound goes I thought you had great voice acting. All of the characters voices fit perfectly. Although the gang leaders voice was a bit hard to understand. I have you a 9 for violence only because there wasn't a lot of it. You only had about a minute of action but it was amazing! I would have definately given you a ten for violence if you had more fighting going on. I gave you five for humor because I found it funny how people talked and how the wimpy samurai ran away. Once the movie was over and the credits were on the screen, I found how you showed clips of the flash during the credits was very professional how you did that. It was still black and white and ran very smoothly. Great job makeing this flash I enjoyed watching it very much! The only thing I can think of improveing is have a lot more action in your next flashes! Amazing flash you got here keep up the good work!

dreadslick responds:

Thanks for the well thought out criticism and praise. We're trying to bring a more cinematic feel to to our toons from now on. I hope we're acheiving it for you.

[Blockhead: Episode 1]

I liked it.

This is a nice flash you've got here. The graphics were pretty good and had a creative style to it. The voices were great! One of the best voice acting flashes I've seen, did you do both of the voices? The characters were both very funny. You have Blockhead who is just a complete moron. Whats funnier then that? I liked the other character and how he is just like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Things that I wished you could have done was actually have had a story going together with this. Blockhead is just trying to dial a phone number. It was funny but it could have been a lot funnier. The other thing I wish you had done was of course make it a lot longer. This flash was way to short to put a lot into it. I'm hopeing this is just an intro to an awesome series because this can definately be one. I know you have been around for a long time as a flash maker and I have heard of your work but this is sadly the first time I have seen one of your flashes. Now that I have seen one I know why you were King of the Portal in March! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your flashes and maybe putting another review in who knows? Great job on this flash it was very impressive! Keep up the good work and make your flashes longer!

The-Swain responds:

Both of the voices and all of the voices, yes, for every episode except the Time Squads. Every regular episode voice is me, but I don't let any other character sound like BH or the Con.

Anyway, I hope you like the rest of the series! So long as you remember that I had no idea I would be making as many episodes as I have when I sat down to do Ep.1, you'll understand why it didn't come out like the later episodes did.

[Egypt Rulez!]

Very creative!

I found this flash to be very creative and stylish. The beggining was great I loved the pencil drawing and the animatiion it was awesome! Your backgrounds were great as well as the music. I think this flash was very well planned out and probably took a lot of time to make. This was a very creative flash and I hope to see more from you!

Digimaks responds:

On opposite, It took me very short time 9considering that I like to get the things done quick or never)
around 3 hours animation, then 5 hrs of sleep, then present :|
Considering I got class rolling off their chairs :)

[sheepfleece]

Incredible!

This flash is amazing. The graphics were awesome something new that I would like to see more of on newgrounds. The backgrounds were good but it wouldn't have hurt to have something moveing back there. I thought the voice overs were perfect, they couldn't have been better. This is one of the est flashes ive seen in a long time this is going to be on the front page without a doubt! I hope to see more of this and keeep up the great work! You have talent for this.

zipahead responds:

yeah I guess I could move some of the stuff in the bg... but your an anime fan.. comon youve seen some movies wher the characters in the front dont even move... any ways thanks

[Who Wants Turkey?]

Cool

I need to admit when i saw how low the size was I thought this would be a pretty lame movie. It turned out to be quiet funny! The graphics were good with really good backgrounds, the voice overs were awesome, you didnt need any subtitles you can hear them perfectly. I thought it was funny too. This flash was great, the only thing I have to say is that you could have givin the bird hands, i think it was a bird. Anyway good job making this flash!

JKR responds:

He's a space chicken. =)

Anyway, I completely understand what you mean by the filesize thing. So many times utter crap is found under 400Kb here on NG. Glad you took the time to watch it and make sure it wasn't so bad! I work very hard to keep my file sizes down so that even people with 56K modems can still enjoy the cartoons without waiting forever while they load. Also the subtitles are for folks who may not hear so well, because they need to laugh too. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it so much!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

[The New Guy]

Awesome!

I have to admit I was amazed at the begining when those sticky notes flipped on the screen. It moved so well I loved it! The graphics were great and the bacgrounds were awesome. Your voices for all the characters were great! And it was pretty funny. I was dissaponted how short it was and how it ended. I meen it really didnt end at all! Is there going to be a sequel? Respond my review and tell me all about it please. Good job making this flash and I hope to see more of them!

EdSkudder responds:

Yeah the shortness was just because of time restraints and the deadline for the competition. But I dunno - there might be more some day. The next project coming is a different thing, but once that's done I might make another. We'll see.
Thanks for the review though and I'm glad you liked it!

[Fire Emblem Sprite Fight]

Nice job

Now i was never a huge fan of sprites or Fire Emblem. But this was a well played out flash. The music was great, the action and battles were cool (the blood spots made it a little choppy and they werent designed very well) I do love those graphics though. Now i read the other persons review and told you to add humor. I thought you did add humor with that 5 second pause. It may not have been very funny but who is now a days! Nice flash and I hope to see more.

Dragonman11 responds:

Hey, thanks. Nice to see you like the sprites and FE. Blood and fire were dodgy (yep, i admit), so i kept blood to minimum. More will come when i can be bothered to save $200 for a Flash kit.

[Paranoia Clock]

Cool

The graphics were nice and so was the music but I got 1 thing to say. I hate paranoia agent Adult Swim should take that show off and show more Inu-Yasha! But this flash made paranoia agent look somewhat good

th1rt3en responds:

awww no love for PA? :(

oh well, thanks for the review! =D¹³
