DL-Seppel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[8-bit Theater 3]

This can't be legal.

Oh, where to start...?

Well, first off, the content is, simply put, boring. I don't even read 8BT and the jokes are old hat. Next, five megs is way too much for such little content. Very poorly optimized. Of course, using sprites is an easy way to get out of truly animating / drawing. I liked the electrical charge coming from Black Mage for about two seconds, though. The voices are still suffering, BADLY. They're improved slightly since last time, but the voiceacting is still seriously poorly done.

Ripped graphics, ripped music, ripped story, bad voices, ripped everything. What does this have to offer? Nothing.

Except copyright infringement with the insertion of the Cheat and Strong Bad. I'm shocked and angered to see this animation steal from Homestar Runner. There is no credit where it is due (I searched), so it is obviously STOLEN.

Please correct this.

[Gamer Elite: Episode 1]

Wow. That was... incredibly boring.

Wow. That was... incredibly boring. It's also a shoddy rip of Captain N, just like the author says.

Voiceacting can't get much worse than that. Even Taco the Wonder Dog does better voiceacting that that. Every voice in "Gamer Elite" is mumbled monotonously... and slowly... and there's an annoying *click* before everyone's lines. The music added nothing to the presentation.

The action is so slow, it's drawn out over three time zones. The graphics, while being an interesting style for three seconds, quickly become unenthusiastic, just like this entire "movie".

MetalMaverick responds:

...Taco the Wonder Dog?

[AOL]

Nothing new.

Yeah, that wasn't very entertaining. AOL bashing can be so much more than that. Loading times and graphics were nice, but try harder next time.

[VampireHunter Ina 2]

Enjoyable, yet it feels short.

Alrighty, first off, great effort. The graphics are superb for flash quality, and the individuality of the characters adds to the impressiveness, even though I could see you cut a couple corners. The background information during the load time was helpful, even though I was still lost a bit on the story.

Well, now, unfortunately, comes the constructive criticism.

The audio was atrocious. Kill the voice actors and upgrade your sound quality. Half the time I couldn't make out what the characters were saying because of their slurred and muffled speech and when I could make them out, the audio shot out a distubring crackle.

Even though it's about five minutes long after the introduction, it still seemed short with only two scenes when the plot around this story is much bigger. I'm not sure about the capabilities of flash (limitation on the amount of frames?), so this didn't effect my review.
