DeadByDawn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A little halloween card]

Very nice for a first attempt.

I totally understand about this being your first attempt. Really it is a very good flash. The art was done well. The sound was not bad at all. The file size was a little big but to be expected for a beginner. We all have to start from somewhere and really this is a great start keep it up. If you wish you may critic some of my work here on newgrounds and get back to me on it. Thanks. DeadByDawn

[The Two Planets]

Ok now for the review.

This had a lot of potential. However, there is nothing worse than someone who uses a tragedy to get votes. I have seen enough to realize this was definately another attempt at metamorphing 911 into some other context. Well first off. The perpetrators of 911 are dead. Everyone of them. Oh come on, you didn't really think Osuma was still alive. The buildings fell on the morning of september 11th, Osuma was dead the evening of september 11th. We are the most technologically advanced civilization that has ever thrived, and you think we couldn't find him. We can spot the date on a dime from the moon, and you think that we couldn't find him. He was kept alive, metaphorically, in order to keep our own ruler in charge. The events of 9-11 arent tragic because of the people that have died. People die everyday. They were tragic because Osuma did what he set out to do and that was to affect our economy and our freedom. Back to the flash, it had good art however it was lacking a lot of insight seeing as it shows that we are all completely brainwashed to whatever the government wants us to believe. I know you probably won't see this and even more so probably will just think I am stupid, but we lost this war as soon as the buildings fell. We put a ruler in power that should never have been and he is constantly taking away our freedoms. We are no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave but rather the land of the ruled and the home of the sheep. Led to slaughter we are. And the continual reminder of this painful fact via animations, stories, and songs, that are put out merely for the benifit of the maker is pissing me off. No more 911. No more reminders that we are a tired shell of a country that soon will fall either by civil dispute or by global. Try again buddy.

What the fuck are you talking about? It was symbolism. I never said anything about Osama being alive. I never said anything about political views. It's the idea, of terrorism. I did not show my view in any way on the september 11 attacks, or anything that happened after it. Why can't you guys just watch a movie, enjoy it, and not think of what the author was thinking aboutm or hiis political views. Flash movies, or at least my ones, are supposed to represent ideas, and let the viewer make up in his/her mind what the deeper meaning is. I'm sorry if i seem mad, but i was just really offended by what people thought i was saying.

[Ninja Wars]

Not bad.

This had some decent art work and is definately something I am looking forward to seeing. It has a good style.

[Freak : Prelude (Ep. 1)]

You are talented beyond all comprehension.

This is a great work of artistic genius. I have fallen in love with it instantly. I will be extremely dissapointed if this is not continued. Do not fush it. Do your best. Two things. If newgrounds dosen't put this with it's featured animations I will lose respect for them. This tops a lot of the stuff that is done period here on newgrounds. This deserves to be featured with all of the permanent animations. Two. If you don't have an animation contract yet I suggest that you send this in to mtv hbo showtime cinemax starz and anyone else that shows hardcore animations. I am almost sure you would get a contract. I myself would love any tips you have for animation. You can reach me at [e-mail] or AIM ReaveRavenhurst.
Thanks

[Kissing A Fool]

Very well done.

However I don not like it. I am not going to put it down. It is a remarkable piece. But its just not my style. Great work anyway.

[Taishi 4 A New Hope]

This is a great movie. It has serious potential.

I feel this movie only has two distinct flaws. One it is too short. Two you used Homer Simpsons scream in the bad guy. Otherwise this is an epic in the works. Don't be discouraged by asswholes like Blangsta who only write reviews for movies they know are better than anything they could possibly do. Don't lose heart I need more of this. Newgrounds needs more of this. Keep it up and I hope to see the continuance.

[For Damon]

I hate clocks yet this was particularly striking.

I feel this to be a good piece overall. I don't know Damon or anyone else in the Clock Crew and I don't like clock movies however I believe this to be pretty well done and an overall cool thing to do. I hope that my review helps you along in your grief. WE ALL LOSE FRIENDS, NOT ALL OF US REMEMBER THEM PROPERLY. Good job.

[Eternal Blamnation]

This is why newgrounds is loosing it's coolness

I have noticed over the past 4 years that Newgrounds has lost a lot of pizaz. The animations have lost their value because of stupidity both by the Crews and the Crew haters. What ever happened to this being a haven for Flash Creativity. It's time for a change fellas. You have excellent potential. I can see it in your sketch art. But why waste it on something a drole and dry as this. This is a permanent mark on your account. Anytime someone looks up your profile this shit will be there stinking it up. It lowers you as human beings. I am not in favor of the clocks. It is my belief that the clock crew is about as creative as a blowjob. But I am going to defeat them by creating an animation that blows them out of the water. Not by creating something that just makes them laugh at my ability. Please come with something more to you potential.

FUnKy-bAcON responds:

My comrades and I appreciate your constructive critisizm. However, we decided to show how much we like clocks on very short notice. Perhaps we could have bashed the clocks with a better flash had we been given the knowledge beforehand that there was to be a "Clock Day". It was an interesting challange to try and make a movie that wouldn't get blammed within 4 hours of creation.

[Livin Dead Return Trailer]

Good overall

I think that the preview was good overall but I must agree with Syko666 that the music has got to go. I am a horror movie guru and I think it is about time that someone tried to put some horror on Newgrounds but it the full version has that fucked up ass music I will blam the fuck out of it. Good job with the rest.

[Foamy's Rant : Foamy The Squirrel]

Another good job

I feel this to be a great job on your part. Its not about art alone but the overall style is a comfortable one. Obviously it's not a Michaelangelo but it definately has a good feel. The art is almost that of a comic strip. Any poor marks against this film should not lie in the art but more the content. I feel that the plot could have been a little better. However since the title of the piece does in deed portray what the viewer should expect the viewer should expect a rant from Foamy.

Bravo and I can't wait to see more of your stuff. Even though you probably don't even read these critiques.

DeadByDawn

PS. If you do read this and if anyone else reads this I would like some tips on creating animations as good as this one. [e-mail]
