James-B's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Aura]

Very good!

This was an excellent piece of work, alot of effort had been put into it, I really enjoyed watching it, it was extremely captivating with a brilliant brilliant plot! YAY/WOO for you! I personally didnt like the LOTR music, because it simple reminded me of LOTR, but it seemed to fit very well, excellent use of heavy guitar music! I recommend anyone watch this!

[GALAPAGOS]

Good

I quite liked this, it was original, interesting, and thoughtful. Alot of effort must of been put into it! I wasnt to sure on the subject of birds tho...probs a personal preference but i couldnt take it seriously alot of the time, (im sure others will think differently though)the classical music gave it a slightly cheesey edge. Congratulations on the effort, I look forward to your next movie!

[Flash Art Tutorial]

Yay!

This is actually quite an original idea, there is no rule written down on newgrounds.com which says that your flash work is not allowed to be informative. Unfortunately there arent enough genre sections to allow for movies like this so you are going to be poorly marked by the wrong unappriciative audience.

Please dont consider this a stupid flash movie, this probably deserves a higher score than most of the generic shit pumped into newgrounds.com daily. Instead of comparing it to other flash movies i judged it on how useful i found it and wether i had though anyone else would find it useful, also in this case its originality. Unfortunately there wasnt enough content for a really high mark but next time why dont you go for a documentry style animation? Include some humour add a few more techniques to learn, have a step by step tutorial section, maybe even a menu system for different lessons.

DO NOT RUBBISH THIS WORK. It is good, but needs improving on and the right type of open minded voter. Goodluck on your next one! THERE WILL BE A NEXT ONE!!! :)

[beyond life]

[The Project: Part 1]

Brilliant

This has to be one of the best stick animations i have seen for a long time. Really nice use of special effects, it is obvious you have put alot of effort into it and it shows. I Enjoyed watching it! Welldone

[Orbit2k]

This is fantastic!

WOW! THIS IS THE BEST PORTAL MOVIE EVER! FUCK ME THIS IS GOOD! WOW!

[Mystic Island 2]

Sorry

OK this really wasn't good at all, not only was it just a bunch of stick figures of which must of taken him a whole 5 minutes while balancing upside down in a bucket of custard with T W A T written on his forehead, but it was narrow minded stupid and completely un-funny, i think the type of person who made this has a brain the size of his dick, not really that big to be honest.

GolemCC responds:

I take it you're part of the anti-stick league?
And how was it narrow-minded? Would you mind filling me in on that?
Also, are you studying to be a doctor? If not, why do you spend so much time comparing anatomical sizes? But what should I expect from someone whose only movie is entitled "Twat Face"?
Next time you write a review for one of my movies, please give me a reason you didn't like it... this was just ranting.

[The Stick Slayer Slayer]

Hmmm...

Oh dear, I think that spending over 50 hours for something that will "entertain us" was a little silly seeing as i didn't really find it that entertaining and the animation was down-right poor, but on argueing you did have a good story line and you have the basis for some good ideas well i would say keep it up, but urm try harder.

OddJob9 responds:

i had a storyline, wow. i wasnt sure if i did. im not sure if i'll make another one of these but im still gonna make movies and i can only get better

[A Day in My Life]

Amusing piece of work

I thought this funny in a chuckling humbling way, one of those movies which makes you grin, the style was unique to say the least and looked rather like a childs doodle pad in .swf format. Must say though that the concept of it is rather bleak and without much zest, its quite easy to talk about yourself i find but its always interesting to watch another human munkeying around. I think it wise taking a peek at his website very slick piece of work there. This piece deserves a good 7, and besides he wears the same chain as me.
