jb-cubed3's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy Sonic X:Ep1]

>> Needs more variation...

A nice movie there; it has a very good idea but essentially it didn't, I feel, have enough there to make it that worthwhile. Whilst the concept is good, new and pretty fresh from what I've seen the execution is fairly bland and a bit unoriginal - I feel there needs to be something a bit more your own (i.e. graphics, plot etc) that'll improve the overall score.

To me the ideas are good but the movie itself to me seems really too linear if anything. Good work; but needs better execution.

[Dragon Ball Z -Is That OK]

Excellent Stuff

Some excellent stuff - well planned out, constructed and put together. Good use of lines from the show to make me laugh my socks off - great humour and a lovely finish.

To those who think they know everything and give movies like this one and others, what's the point? I suggest growing up or learning to count, because quite frankly, unless you can do better - then learn to count to 10, it's handy.

[NGBG: Grime vs Sqeezy]

>> Excellent battles!

Excellent work guys - truly some powerful and slick animation from both parties. Although I enjoyed battle 1 more, both have unique touches that make you want to keep watching them over.

Love the way the music suits the atmosphere you're trying to portray in both battles, good work!

Graphics: Excellent in both cases, unique touches that give the artists credit.
Sound: Lovely, works well to keep in time with the action on screen.
Style: Unfaulted, truly very unique to each artist.
Violence: Powerful stuff, works well and I enjoyed the scenes that use these levels of violence.

Excellent work, keep up the good flash!

[Bedn: First Love]

>> Some Scary Stuff...

... Honestly, that was perhaps the most creepy thing I've seen on NG. I woke up about 20 minutes ago and this isn't something I'd like to watch when I'm on break...

Graphics: Ripped, strange but humours in places.
Sound: Average - effects are very creepy.
Style: Non-existant, sorry, but it's down to that.
Interactivity: N/A
Humour: N/A - it's really not that funny.

I'd like to give some positive notes but it's difficult, some good flash skills in terms of animating and so on but as for the content I feel it's just not right for NG.

[The Perfect Murder]

>> Excellent Flash + Concept

Excellent flash work there, Luis. A nice concept with very smooth and unique animation - it felt like one of those deathmatches you'd have in any good FPS, good on ya.

Hope to see more of your work.

9/10

[Super Resident Evil]

Good, but needs development.

A nice movie you've created there, Nashkel. Well manipulated sprites and your own clips as well as good use of backing sounds with effects. However, I think it needs development in the story area, and perhaps a little more variety in what goes on.

I noticed some subtle touches during the clip - very good use of sound panning - from the direction of where the zombies appear, I though was clever. In keeping with the RE style, I think you've shown that nicely indeed.

Good Work.

[Beavers: "Tongue Trouble"]

>> Very good...

An excellent short clip with a little cheesy humour. Regardless, well put together and some very sublime animation; well done.

[arfenhouse teh movie too]

Unbelievable...!

Seriously, this flash is perhaps in the top 20 at least - humour, action, and a parody of literally everything you can think of, all wrapped in a well animated lengthy clip. Cheers to all who contributed to that entry - something that, unlike some of the others, DESERVED to be on the main page - 10/10 all the way.
