Takato's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy Imperial2]

A+ for effort?

The style of this movie is one I do not like. Not to say I don't like sprite movies (which would be rediculous since I did Megaman: Re-Vengeance), but I don't like the "talking" movies. Thats all this movie is, talking. Not only that, but the talking isn't even fast, and there is no excitment in the movie whatsoever. To be quite frank, I think you should have ignored those e-mails and finished the movie right.

Bohman responds:

i see what you mean, and i agree, but the talking is necesary to get the stry going, part 2-2 will have action and even some drama

[chinatown noir]

Hmmm...

I'll be honest... I couldn't sit through this entire production. You want to know why? There are two reasons. The movie is both too slow and too poorly animated. There was nothing to keep me interested inbetween pictures and the gap was too long. I like the art though. ^_^

nightofthelivingfred responds:

i mainly focussed on the art because in one of my other movies reviews it said i can`t draw. i glad you liked at least the art.

[Detective Frofrog 2]

I liked it!

Very nice! There wasn't much wrong with it that I could see, and I found the randomness of it all hilarious. Personally, the chick(en) was my favorite character; I liked the way it bad mouthed everything and ramained so cute!

McRhyme responds:

The chicken (WHY THE HELL A CHICKEN WHEN ALL OTHER CHARACTERS ARE NON-EARTHLY) was added to the whole movie in all scenes with Chief Leaf at a very late state. Originally he was only to squashed once on the windsheild, but I thought he was funny so I added him all over the place!

[Green guy ep.1]

Nice Work, thouggh need a bit of refinement.

I liked it... It had style and direction. I liked where it is going. What it didn't have was substance.

The movie itself lacks a couple thing, and I suppose that I will list them out for ya :)

1. Length: The movie was too short! I saw a couple of places where the movie could have been lengthened (the biggest one being right before he gets shot), which also could add depth to the movie.

2. Refinement: While it is a good premise, there are a lot of loopholes in the story, and places where the viewers simple say, "What the fuck was that?" This could be wiped out in the next movie, however.

3. Smooth Animation: The "Bean" style is way overused, and while it's ok as it is, it could be way better. Try making more detailed characters (even if you stick to the same style) with lengthy, thought out actions.

I hope I could help you out a bit or whatever. Don't take this review the wrong way, I really liked it! I'll be watching for the next one.

BLAHBLAHA responds:

I will try to improve next episode :)

[Improved Shadow vs...]

It shows promise, but it has a long way til good

I loved your starting, the music, the selection... It was good. I was expecting a the same quality from the fights as well, but it never came... It fell short. You are good at flash, I can see that... But the fights themselves are not what I call good. Add sound, maybe make then longer and with more detail and they will be fine.

MGChaos responds:

Thank you, I will consider doing so.

[Drak vs sticks and Clocks]

Pretty good with some drawbacks...

This movie was actually a great movie... I gave it a 3, and it would have gotten more if itt didn't have a couple of the major flaws. The biggest of them all is, of course, no sound. In a music video I wouldn't normally mind no sound... But this one has many points where sound is almost REQUIRED. Second... The animation was great, but it lacked detail... This is especially true in the parts where people moved through things (very hastily done I must say). Last, there is no substance to the movie. It has no purpose... No beginning, no real end... All in all it was a bit better than most of the stuff here, but not good enough to be called a great movie.

Burning-Feet-Man responds:

ya I should make plot and add in sound insted of music. but ima lazy bastered so im not going to. sorry.
