Preternatural's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy Sonic X:Ep4]

Behind all this attractive look thing...

Two downsides.
-Stolen graphics. (it's ok, but try to create your own special FX)
-Plot. Overused "Megaman(X) and Sonic characters in the same universe" concept.

BlackDevilX responds:

Two things to think about.
-Isnt using background a graphic too? and all sprite movies have taken background and characters.
-Plot:Look depper. Its isnt No SQFP or Sonic Matrixa type MegaManX and sonic crossover thing. Its going to be EVERYWHERE. Sonic, megaman,Zelda, Stretfighter, kirby, Chrono, Mario. ususally i hate review like these sayin im just using a sonic and megaman x crossover but i need to explain that mistake, although i should have explained the concept at the first episode.

Thank you for your review!

[FF: Ages Episode 2]

I didn't forget about ep. 1

Yo. I can see some amelioration, but the battle scenes are still lame. There's no point in a FF series if the battle scenes suck. Spend more time on them, as it is the key to a series' success.

And as for FFF, I don't consider it great; it's pathetically boring and slow. It's author has no excuse for using using 8-bit and 16-bit sprites together.

As weird as it may seem, motion tween is essential to sprite movies; you should try it.

RuffNTumble responds:

They weren't really battle scenes they were more like deaths. And battle is not the key element in a FF flash. I think it's characters and plot. I'd rather be pathetic boring and slow then some random fighting sequence.

[Samurai Sprite Showdown 3]

How can this be so overrated..?

Nothing original nor impressive. It was a waste of my time. I don't know what to say; everytime I reviewed sprite movies, authors just ignored me and continued making horrible movies.

Samurais, ninjas, magic, whatever; you gotta add your personnal touch to make an original storyline and plot. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.

AbboMan responds:

Do you think your opinion counts for so much that a person would stop doing something that they like just because you don't approve? How bout no

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 10]

It's my opinion, presented with facts.

I get tired pretty easily over sprite movies with a frame rate of 12. Try 24. Secondly, some scenes were laggy. That's not supposed to happen. I don't know what you did wrong, because your background is an image file, but my guess is that your sprites are "anti-aliased"; how else could a sprite movie lag?

I haven't seen much evolution since your last movies. What caught my attention the most was the shitty brownish text box.

This is an overrated series... seriously. What disgusts me the most are the "10 everywhere" reviews, saying how much your movie was perfect, when it wasn't. I'm done writing this review, now.

-NA

Cryokenetic responds:

It's my response, presented with facts:

The frame rate is at 18, not 12. I haven't noticed any lag on any opf the computers I "test" it on, so maybe it's your computer that's causing it.

The text boxes are ugly...I agree. But "brownish"? They're GRAY. How the hell do you get brown from that?

I appreciate your honesty and I it nice to get some negative feedback so I know what to change. But everyones tastes are different and the "10" reviews are their own opinions. Make fun of me, not my fans, all right?

I'm done responding to this review, now.

[S.A.M.V. 5]

It's great, don't get me wrong.

The way you draw facial expressions is unique, I like that. You don't even have time to get bored once, that's cool. The thing that caught my attention were the horrible sub-pixeled sprites. (did one of the sprites have a BK crown?)

BaconMask responds:

Yep, the "rouge" (My bad, rogues don't use magic!) had ye olde BK crown on... And, the sprites weren't bad, they just got pixelated upon compression. When you look at them un-compressed, they're gorgeous. Thanks a lot!

[Dillium]

Déja-vu

You all hate Lillium because you know you will never be able to do something as good. You're so desperate that you try to parody/humiliate someone else's work. Artists don't do that kind of thing.

It was ok. *blah blah blah* [insert encouragement text here]

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

I never said I didnt like Lilium.

Uh-Oh! Moronic lecturing fucktard alert!

[UVG Battle Reborn 1(1/3)]

Once again a sprite movie falls victim to my rev.

Err... sub-par. The story isn't the most original I've seen, the animation was awkward and contained many traces of unnecessary humor.

Once in my life I wanna be just like the Comic Book Guy: Worst. Episode. Ever! (no, actually I've seen worse)

RebelliousStudios responds:

The story was a little more original around half a year ago when I originally made the series. But yeah, I tried to make it funny and I guess that you didn't find it that way.

[Zelda, Master of Hyrule 2]

Needs more effort and is overrated.

GOD using sprites is not THAT hard!! What's wrong with all of you?! Utter piece of crap, as usual. Don't take it personally, it happens to most sprite movies and authors.

I can give you an honest tip, though: Don't submit your early works. Work on your skills until you're confident enough to get a 3/5. This movie is overrated; I'd give it a 0.9/5. Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about.

Moldorma responds:

That's funny you say that, because this is pretty close to having a 3/5.

[Link Strikes Back 3]

You're dishonoring sprites, damnit.

You made it suck on purpose, it was so obvious. From a truly objective point of view, everything about it sucked, everything. Not even worth a 0.5/5
Animating is serious business.

roehrboc responds:

If its serios, maybe you should ahve given me some serious advice. Its fine that you think its bad, but it would be nice if you gave me some advice to make it better.

[MONKAY #3 "The Killer"]

It's the same shit recycled 50 times.

"You gave this entry a 1, lowering its score from 3.2956 to 3.2479!
If this movie is blammed you will get a BLAM point!"

Lacks originality, creativity and other stuff I shouldn't say for you own good. C'mon, you can't name a monkey, no, a NINJA MONKEY, Luigi; you just can't.

ZIM106 responds:

He isn't exactly a ninja, but that was pretty much the only name i could come up with, and it sounds cool to me!
