WinTang's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Life of Something]

An eye-opener.

I like how this movie rips apart the prejudice I had of Something's life.

Seriously, the thing is fun and it even shows some method to its madness, that alone puts it above a big bunch of other CC movies.
If you ever wanted to feature a song from my Audio Page in your submissions, it'd be a pleasure. Good day!

UberMan5000 responds:

At last, an insightful review that recognizes what "A Day In the Life of Something" is all about. If you have enough spirit, you can make even the most mundane routine pulsate with excitement.

[Wo de xiao mao]

Kitteh

Well thanks for using my tune :)

You killed your own joke with the title man. No one is going to be surprised now.
It's a fun gimmick, done before but that's no big deal, but due to the title it'll just be filed away with the Star Syndicate bullshit and the like. Pity.

112358 responds:

Hey, thanks for the cool tune. :D

Just changed the title so more people would view it, just for a li'l bit of attention. And people still did fall for it.

And I told myself once it was out of the latest 50, I would change it back to its original title.

[Ingus: Episode 7]

Ingus rocks!

I have to say, I love the series and I really admire how you manage to come up with new scenarios. It's a quite rare talent to be able to make distinctable episodes when you work in an absurdism in which anything is possible.
That aside, I think this is a bit of a step back from 5 and 6 (5 being my favorite) because I felt this was at a slightly slower pace... probably because there was more plot explanation than I've gotten used to.
It definitely had its moments though, and the animation keeps getting better.
Hope you guys have picked up on this, so we can expect new episodes with smaller intervals :)

Oh yeah, a final thing: what I like so much about Ingus is that we sometimes learn about the talents he has, like the power of flame breath... so keep that in mind if you will... for example, I was wondering if Ingus can sing at all?

KupaMan responds:

I kind of messed up on this one. Oh well. It's just another in the series. I liked 5 as well. 6 I enjoyed, but I think I messed up with the script because I was just thinking how cool it would be to have one of my favorite authors in one of my flash. I didn't really consider the episode quality. As for smaller intervals, I was just lazy with this one. Usually !I have them out about every month, only they're only like 2:00 tops with credits, so I wanted to go longer. I didn't really here, but I plan to in teh future. What I'm thinking should be my next episode should be longer, but not entirely funnier. Some people my get SVS(sandy vagina syndrome) over it, but it will be a fun one for me, so it doesn't matter. I hope to get to 10, and then do something different with Ingus, and then maybe continue the episodes. I'm not sure, though. That's pretty far ahead. Whatever. Thanks for the review.

[ADITMK: Goomba]

Not bad...

It's a tried-and-not-often-true area, the Mario sprite flash, but you did a good job for a first, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.
Liked the randomness, e.g. the Homer samples, and the plot was decent. It moves a bit too slow, though. The faster these flashes go, the funnier they are. If you improve that, and normalize the sounds so they don't distort so much, you're well underway to becoming a widely respected author (you'll eventually have to drop the sprite animation though, or get REALLY original with it).
Keep it up, 3/5

Striker-002 responds:

I will be continuing with sprites for the time being but I will hopefully use voice instead of text in my next flash. Also I will send you a message looking for more information about the sound distortion. Thanks for the review.

[Strandad]

So-so

I've always liked clay stuff, so that helps. The nav bar is pretty too.
However - day 1 was totally ripped from the 'Professor Chaos' episode from South park.
Experiment with different voices. And make it run at a faster pace, because then the anticlimaxes get less predictable.

ClayWay responds:

my mom doesn't let me watch south park how am i supposed to know?

[LL- Eh?]

I smell double standards.

It's odd that you require people to not write retarded reviews, while in all fairness, you made a retarded movie.
Sure, you can argue that there isn't meant to be a point, disguising it as your "artistic choice", but I think it's just laziness. You've got nice animation skills and I suspect a nice sense of humor as well, so why don't you try and amount to something with your movies? This is just going on the pile with other mediocre stuff without replay value.

Galloglasses responds:

You have a point. But it's not pointless because of my artistic choice, I just drank too much coffee and made something for the hell of it.

[CC-cake and beer]

Hahaha

No, you didn't spell "Spanish" wrong, you spelled "si" and "ándale" wrong.
IMO, CC movies are only funny when there's a lot of time put into them - because they still look crappy and rushed, so that contrast is funny.
But this is just an easy new submission and I don't think that kind of laziness should be rewarded with protection.
But it has. Congratulations.

peanutbutterclawk responds:

oh tomatoes, tomottos.

[S.M.W The Movie Pt.1!]

Keep up the work

I really like your optimism in your review responses, that'll get you far!
I don't think this was good, though, so I'll give you some pointers for the next one:
- Make it faster. A four word phrases does not have to be on screen for 5 seconds. I don't want to see Mario standing still for 3 seconds until an enemy appears. Etcetera. It needs to be very dynamic, otherwise it won't stand out.
- Use way, way more sprites. Have as many characters of SMW as possible pop their head around the door sometime. Since there are so many Mario-visits-Bowser flashes out there, your best bet at originality is to put lots of thought into the details. Make around 20 tiny side-stories that can be shown in a few seconds. Then make Mario run past, and ta-dah: you included it into the main story.
- You use good music, listen to it well and see if there are elements that can interact with the images - for example, a goombah moving to a melody, a thwomp falling down on the beat, etcetera.
- Overall, make it as smooth and impressive as possible. With so many people using this idea for a flash, you gotta aim for top-quality. I'd watch a lot of the Mario spoofs that are rated high, to see what you have to compete with.

Good luck!

funkyjunky responds:

Wow...Now thats a review i can understand :)

Yer there are bits which are shall we say "turtle like"!!

I actually really admire you for writing that review and giving your time to help me :) Fancy helping out on part 2? Email me! Thanks FJ.

[Super Mario Problem II]

All right look

You can yell all you want, but the bottom line is that your flash is just not very interesting. It's very slow, there's no humor OR suspense to be found.
Example: the music builds up intensity, and Mario just stands there. Some grossly pixelated fireball things in the air at a SLOOOOW pace. This lasts very long, and then Mario jumps into a pipe. No action at all.
There are, as you probably know, a LOT of Mario flashes. Lots of them are original, funny, smooth. Yours isn't. So instead of whine about the bad responses, try to realize that you have a lot to learn and that the fact that your flash made it through the portal doesn't mean a lot. If you spend an hour at the portal, you'll see that only the most utter crap doesn't make it through.

Final things:
1. The more you call people retards in your responses, the more you come off as one yourself.
2. Flash by WinTang:
- none -
There, I did the copy and pasting for you. It doesn't make your flash any better.

In-Style-Always responds:

no, its not at a slow pace. you must have a sucky comp. and you callin me retarted? all you do is criticize ppl on ng. and according to the score, ppl like it. ppl already put this in their favorites so i think that your just retarted. you think im retarted then you need to go look at yourself in the mirror, but wait, you're gonna break it.
