pyropymp's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[part 1: synj vs. horrid]

whoa that was quick!

you are definitely a badass animator, and definitely a master in pointless action shorts. But for something that you will have to make into episodes, I, as an audience, demand a storyline and explanation. That and sound effects to compliment the music. You will only get a 10 after these have been accomplished. Awesome work dude

DanPaladin responds:

it has a lot of storyline, and its evolving. i don't know how people can think 'nothing' happened. crimson nutz summed it up in his review with what the story was, and its a long enough story that I don't want to type it out :)

[The Ring: Clock Style]

Funny, BUT

But there's absolutely no sound! Please get one of those computer voice thingy typical of the clocks, that woulda been much funnier... besides, the font's too small, and that white font against the blue floor background makes me wanna poke my eyes out.

FUClock responds:

I'm sorry to hear that. There actually is sound, though, and it does use the Simpletext Voices. Try turning your sound up.

[Battle Royal 3 (Part 1)]

Great work, but....

the only drawback is that it's way too short... I feel you should just finish everything, i.e. beating all the enemies, etc, and then release this as one big epic... Right now this feels like a mere work-in-progress... making us wait for something so action packed is just not cool :) By the way, awesome voice acting... I loved it

Baron-Fredrico responds:

I really would love to make it all in one but my God it would be huge!
There is going to be 6 fights in all with cutscences inbetween. Also there will be 3 or 4 special endings to choose from. The size and the slow down my computer would have to suffer just to create this masterpice would be unbelievable. I promise though to make the next part extremely good and long so you all feel good when it ends.
Thanks for the review!

[PH33R Mushroom Clock]

I'm sorry...

...but this thing is too stupid to be taken seriously

Mushroom-Clock responds:

You are correct. PH33R movies are meant to be stupid.

[Tales of Nosu]

Masterpiece!

The artistic finesse alone in this movie deserves a standing ovation. This is the slickest, best looking short I've ever seen. Too bad this is only a tribute... to a mere game... if this was original, this would be a series that will earn a spot on TV, not here :) Excellent jobs, guys - to all those involved.

BenSpurgin responds:

Thanks Pyro! And for the record, the story, characters, time and setting are all original. The only thing taken from Gaiden was the music.

[Brian's Life (Beta)]

By god

at first I thought this was a spin-off of Monty Python's Life of Brian... but... hell this was pretty damn disturbing... I did not need to watch a surgeon dipping a crap-coated baby in that bucket for the whole length of "Holy Holy Hallelujah"... Pretty funny nonetheless... you need to have some subtitles - at least for the sperm conversation... couldn't understand a word

Evil-Andrew responds:

yeah, the song sequence is going to either be cut down, or have other things happening during the singing, but i might add subtitles. thanks for the suggestion and for your finding it amusing.

[RadicalActionFigureTimeP1]

Great concept...

But you need to improve on your storyboard a little... and also the camera angles. I find myself just flipping through this "comic-book style" flash and got bored before even reading the end. If it's not too much hassle, some animation would be nice... maybe that's asking a lot, but still - the storyboard and script should be worked on more.

GeoDude responds:

This, I imagined, was the best way to have my pictures used. I didn't want to put them just on a website for people to browse, and I agree, things inbetween were a bit bland, but hey, give a guy a break. Maybe suggest a little more to do, with respect to standing still digiphotos, such as "What should the camera angle be for this frame?" Thanks for the honest review.

I need more of them.

[Radiohead Cinema: Escape]

A bit too excessive

For things like this, try to be more subtle. Right now it is so saturated with cliched representations of emotions and (seemingly) teenage angst that your true message is lost, With serious subject matters like these, never overdo or force, but rather, hint at it, or suggest it... your message will me more powerful that way. For me, this movie feels like an over-salted sardine... but I have to give you props for the amount of work you put into it, and making it visually appealing at least. Oh, and Radiohead rocks

Affinitia responds:

Would you like some salt with that? lol

[@@@HITLER@@@]

Huhh?

I don't know who you are nor do I know appleclock or schneil or ratfuck or gay watermelon. But I did not find this a bit funny, nor did I find any production value in any of your blam-worthy, but somehow esoteric works. I am most vexed by the current above-3 score and even more so by all these good reviews. Hell, even "Scary Kitten" (Turd of this week) is funnier than this.

This is a strange world

format responds:

first off, watermelon? where did you get that?

I am sorry you don't like my movies you just have to deal with it because I am part of a group called the BBS users, we have many inside jokes and if you do not like it. you can either A) Go 2 hell. or B) Learn the err of your ways by visiting the BBS for as long as the people who like my works have.

[The Philosophy of Liberty]

I know your intentions are good...

...but Newgrounds hardly looks like a philosophy class studying Locke. I can't say I'm surprised to see many people (on NG) who actually find common sense "enlightening" and "deep", goes to show that people nowadays are really in a dire need to really start thinking for themselves. Since "educational" is not part of the criteria for a NG movie entry, I cannot give this a high score. There are much better "venues" for flashes like this, like the lecture halls in your school, and the website for the course that you made this flash for. Still, nice effort though.

LuxLucre responds:

I'm flattered that you think I made this for a venue of higher learning, but I never went to school past technical training and just made this presentation for my own amusement and that of some friends of mine. I think education is a part of everyday life.
