JazLyte's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Aggregation]

Haha I love how you say "I hope you love it"

You already know damn well they love it, man they loved it before they watched it. They loved it before they came to this page.

I have no personal vendetta, but I gotta be honest, I keep trying to watch these and see what people enjoy about them but I can't find it. There's no story, though it doesn't really need one to be good, usually graphics and execution alone can carry a flash. Which brings me to the graphics, I think you're cheating your fans, because you can draw decently, but what they don't know won't hurt them right? Nobody seems to really be looking for good graphics, or catchy music, or even fast, powerful action or interesting violence. I thought it was the violence, which is always fun, yet you've managed to make it slow and repetitive.

So what's my deduction of why people love Madness??....

Because you're a magical fairy from Neverland who has the ability to cast a spell on 13-year-old boys via the internet that makes them vote 5 on something you shat out when you know damn well you can do better than this. But why do that when the mundane and status quo makes the kiddies who think they're mature for watching violence jizz in their pants? I guess they need something different after Sunday school Bible study. Wow, that was a waste...You're not going to read this review, what am I thinking.

Krinkels responds:

Hey man this is about as good as I can do, sorry you didn't like it. :(

[Prostitute Mickey 2]

Wow, Goofy's actor is flawless lol.

The flash is good. I like the concept of old cartoon characters turned to dirty street jobs and what not. The graphics are decent, I can tell it wasn't meant to be amazing. You pulled off the grimy look just right, looks like Photoshop. There was hardly any real animation. The comedy was nice, and interesting to watch but I can't say it MADE me laugh, just a grin. Honestly, I could see this developing into a series though, keep working on the funny. Good, but could be better.

[AniMSN 73]

Pretty damn sick.

Great fight scene, DBZ-like, but much, much better (You bothered to animate instead of using the "they're so strong and fast they don't need in-betweens" excuse). I don't judge what isn't there, it doesn't seem like you intended for there to be much of a well-thought-out or coherent plot so I won't bother complaining hehe. The animation was really smooth and everything looked and sounded great except for that god-awful overused teleporting noise, please never use that again I'll be hearing it in my sleep thanks to this shit. Regardless, the Lion King music worked alright and it was hella fun to watch. Keep up the good work, mayne, loved it.

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 5]

I want to hug whoever made the last skit. I do.

Not bad guys, there was some variation on this one so I'll just name off which was the highlight of each quality.
Best Graphics: Kaizoku & Sol
Funniest: TheWax
BEST PERIOD: NeoCypo. This one basically summed up the biggest truth about the Sonic franchise.
I'm too lazy to go through every person. It's decent, watch it.

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

About damn time.

Well, satire instead of parody, it's a start. The opening scene looked fantastic, I don't know about anybody else but it drew me in. The visuals for the most part were solid. The dialogue was funny and a clever potshot at typical anime bullshit, but it didn't really make me laugh. As usual, the VA's incredible. It was very well made, but not quite hilarious yet. I look forward to more, though! No licensed characters in sight, always a plus.

Egoraptor responds:

Satire parody whatever it's just a flash movie!!

But I appreciate the nice words I wish I could release more IP stuff but it takes time aaaarrghghh

[SDL- Axen Vs. Aurelio]

Should be better for the length, and your skill.

I won't judge this movie for the length, but for it to be less than a minute, and with your drawing skill (I see it) this should've been much better. It was very animated, which is more than I can say for a lot of flashers on here (including myself), but the timing and the movements need some work. Most of the time, the fighting looked like it didn't have much force or impact, but it wasn't fluid either like a 'graceful' fight. Maybe add some ease so that the movements look more convincing next time around, and it'll really juice your stuff up. Also, please for the love of god don't bother adding dialogue if there's no VA, it just takes away from the animation here, ESPECIALLY since their mouths... don't... move... But you're very good though, I love your drawing style, it's just that drawing style can't carry a cartoon by itself, even a short one. Wanna see more.

[Don't Worry, Son]

WHAT?!

Solid art style, which still manages to carry your cartoons farther than you may think. Clean drawings, people usually don't bother being this neat with comedy stuff, kudos. Great voice acting, as always. But WHAT...THE...FUCK... That was pretty much 3 megs of confusion and shock value, but hilarious still. You must carry on the legacy.

[Zelda: UO Epis:7]

Review from somebody who won't touch the game.

Incoming text wall, Action series are my favorite thing on NG so I get this urge to make a huge review when I see one even if it is Zelda. Hasn't been a better Zelda flash project yet. The drawings are clean, I love the eye thing you do with the multiple colors, it's small detail but still pretty slick. There isn't more detail than need be on the characters, although there was an awful lot of tweening. The voice acting on most of the characters is solid, and unlike many flashes involving Zelda characters you managed to make one of the interesting (Diggs, who actually has a realistic sense of humor). Also, 13 minutes, very impressive.

However, it has it's issues, which the 13-year-old Zelda fetishists will mark me 'Useless' for saying since the animation and imagination don't really mean much to them. For one, the same 3 shots are used throughout the whole movie, so the animation seems a bit unimaginative. A bust shot of a character (chest to head), a close-up on the character's eyes, or a shot of the surroundings, that's kinda all there is and with so much dialogue it can get boring. This brings me to the fact that wasn't much actual animation going on here. The walking was tweened, the body movements during dialogue is tweened, shit it looked like the blinking was tweened, some frame-by-frame would really turn this up a notch. I guess I can't comment much on the story since it's borrowed from a game, but it's shallow at this point still (Collect 6 elements? C'mon man!) Also, I noticed you take away a great bit of detail from the characters during what little far shots there are.

But what makes this series run even for people like me who hate seeing artists use characters and stories they can never say came from their own soul, is probably the subtle charm of the characters and the frantic fights (WHICH WAS ABSENT AGAIN IN THIS ONE TOO BY THE WAY!) But it's doing good, keep up the good work. Fortheloveofgodpleaseactuallyputafigh tinthenextone *cough cough*

[Street Fighter Hard Times]

Oooh. I see.

The part with Chun Li slapping Ken made me crack a smile. That's it. But really, the thing is, this movie is pretty damn lazy. Nothing here was actually done by you at all, and it's not like sprite movies can't be mildly entertaining, despite being the absolute lowest form of flash submission). The sound was bad and the animation was awful (which is pathetic when all you have to do it align pre-drawn .gifs to an onionskin).

Also, I saw what you said to CoolDrMoney:
"I would do something based off my own characters but it's kind of hard to draw on flash without a god damn graphic tablet"

...Every last submission on my flash page here is drawn with a mouse, EVERY single one of them and they do alright. You're out of excuses homeboy. 2/10

KillerKandyKorn responds:

I dont' need excuses I like flash movies is that so hard to understand. I want to make something good if i start making with my own characters I don't want them to be shit, and i really dont like sitting around for hours on end making flash, and i dont have the kind of patience to draw shit with my mouse it really pisses me off.

[Baby Browning Ep1]

Eww...What the fuck? lol

There is something wrong with you, man. But regardless, it caught my attention, and it's pretty different. The drawings were solid, the animation wasn't spectacular, the voice acting was good and the concept was...well...shocking. I enjoyed it, it put a big goofy yet mortified grin on my face.
