BluePhoenix-IV's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Death Note Char Intro]

Pretty cool

The animation for the Note, and the transition between pages was well made, with only some sketchy parts on the page lines and blurred names(though I can't remember if the Death Note actually has lined pages...).

The information had some mistakes, but it was overall correct. Though you could've put a lot more for L, and also added minor yet also important characters like Watari and the others that "fought" against Kira in the first part of the story.

The music and the addtion of the "How to use it" page are great pluses.

Bohman responds:

Thanks for a well written review! You made some great points.

First off, Yeah the Death note has lined pages =) I double checked that ;)

Also, I could've added more characters such as Watari, Matsuda, Chief Yagami and the whole Police crew. But the reason why I didn't are really simple =) I was lazy, the requirment to pass this assignment at school was to make a introduction of 5 characters, and didn't bother adding other people. Afterall, I didn't make this flash in consideration of submitting it to NG ;)

Thanks again for an awesome review!

[A Pikmin Story]

Great.

For a first attempt, this is amazing. The stylized renditions of Pikmin, Olimar and the ship/onions were great, even though the actual Pikmin were a little on the small(or at least smaller than usual) side. The concept is well executed, and the little idea lightbulb use was funny, as were the attempts to get the pellet to the onion.

Making more movies based on the franchise would be great, maybe even adding Louie or the company president.

[Confinement +]

Break Free!

I found it a pretty cool concept, the whole liberty to break things that are set with rules you can't change. Anatomy wasn't as bad as said in the other review, just needs some fixing in the arm, hand and lower legs sections, I mean, you can still tell it's a dude(please tell me it's a dude).

Also, awesome music.

Liquidsword responds:

It's a dude.

[Death note: Near's death]

Sucks

Apart from the crappy Coglione joke, nothing funny. Bad animation apart from the actual note. Sound sucked.

Nothing to do with the greatness that is Death Note

Sbeji-chan responds:

Sorry for not being as perfect as death note in it's total greatness... it was a short movie to spend some time when i was bored...

[The Real Legend 2]

Best Zelda parody evar.

Seriously, this is brilliant. You only stop saying Wow at the style when you're laughing at the jokes. Genius. Make a 3!

[Metal Gear Awesome]

lol

awesome, really. You should've done the whole game, though, there are millions of jokes that could've spawned(Sniper Wolf battle, leaving Meryl there).

[B.Y.O.B. Collab]

Great song, bad way to promote it

I liked BYOB ever since it came out, and when I heard that there had been made a colab to animate it, I ran to see it... only to be disappointed by sub-par animation. How could you people have taken 7 months to do this? Most of the animation were stick figures resembling the wrong people in the band. And, just a tip, when you make explosions on a city, make them appear BEHIND the buildings, not in front, on an unexistant floor. Either get better people or work harder next time, if it wasn't for the music, this wouldnt have received a 2.

[Harry Potter 5th trailer]

Not bad, but missed important things...

The concept was great, but the animation was too static, it looked blurred just so you wouldn't be bothered with eye movement and voices. You also spent too much time on the dias and the hall of prophecies, where Harry only goes once in his dreams. Umbridge's black quill does not shred your arm, it cuts the same part of skin, and heals slowly when done. You also cut out some good parts, like Ron getting the Prefect badge and the dementors closing Harry on the street, not to mention that you didn't put the phrase "Order of the Phoenix" anywhere. Music was great though. 7.

ScuvySparrowProd responds:

What I put in it is whatI put in it...alsot the arm thing. in teh first detention it heals...after that it doesnt' and goes all over his arm. He shows the scars in the sixth book.
