Sentio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Man's Best Friend]

A great message well put

This is a cause close to my heart as I had a cancer scare myself a few years ago. It is extremely well animated, with good use of humour, and deals with a sensitive topic extremely well.
I would certainly like to see this on the front page as although it isn't necessarily as entertaining as many of the movies on this site, the message it puts across is extremely important for teenage boys to hear (which I believe covers the vast majority of users on this site).
Well done!!!
5/5

[Peach and Bowser]

A few problems

On the whole that was pretty decent. It had a good plot, a few good laughs, and the music was appropriate. The graphics were nothing special, but they were adequate. However, there were some glaring spelling errors that made me feel like the whole movie as perhaps rushed, and suggested a severe lack of care and attention (for example it's 'prophecy' not 'proficy'). The second thing that I felt could have been better was the ending. what had been a decent enough plot up until then was ruined by the random appearance of Chewie if you ask me. There were so many better ways of finishing it, even something as simple as Bowser returning to his original state, and I felt this randomness was just not suitable to the feel of the movie. However this is more a point of personal taste, and it is possible that others may disagree, so feel free to ignore me.
Anyway, decent, if unspectacular.

Yes, I really should have fixed up the spelling. As for the ending :P well, I don't plan on finishing the flash once and for all, i'd like to make a part2. (chewie/peach is locked in atm:P)

[ludas animans Ep. 6 Pt. 4]

Great!!

I had never seen any of your previous flash work, but I can see you are extremely skilled. The graphics were the best I have ever seen for a sprite movie, especially during the battle scenes. The music was great, but it did get a little boring after al while with just the same thing looping over and over again. The only other complaint was how long it was, although I realise it was necessary for the story. It took too long to load and far too long to watch, maybe in future try and shorten it into two halves or something. However this is a small complaint for what is an incredible piece of work...

Glad you liked the movie. Yeah, I tried not to put long music in it because of how the big the file was when the animation was complete (around 5 megs without sounds implemented). So, the battle music was fitting since it was short, and it fit with who Dragoon and Shadow were. As far as splitting it in half, if I did that the premise of the entire episode would just lose it's meaning.

[Aqua Life Episode #4]

Amazing!!

Wow, that was one of the best flashes I have seen on this site. The graphics were excellent, the sound- especially the lip synching, was top notch, and it had a great and genuinely funny storyline. The Atari bit was pure genius!! My only question is how have I not seen one of your flashes before??? I feel I've missed out, can't wait for the next one!!
5/5 (Front page??)

Thanks man! It's good to see my hard work paid off!

[Goomba Vol. 3]

Brilliant!!

That is one of the best flashes I've seen on this site. It may not have the graphical brilliance of Littlefoot, or the comedy of The Ultimate Showdown, but it still ranks up there with the best in my opinion. What makes it stand out is the story line, combined with good graphics and some excellent music choices. And violence. Lots and lots of violence (especially towards Toad, who I have always disliked!!). I feel front page coming... (adds to favourites)
5/5

[Another Day Seven]

Brilliant as always

When I saw who had made this I knew that it was going to be good, and as usual you didn't disappoint. I admit that I haven't seen much of your other work outside of the Decline series, but this has wetted my taste for some more, so I am going to go and watch the rest. The graphics were top notch, the music perfectly suited, and it had a style only you guys could pull off...
5/5 (no surprises there then!)

[Toxic Madness]

Good but unoriginal

That was very well made, and certainly one of the better stick flashes I have seen. However it is hard to give it a high mark when it is so unoriginal (hence low style marks). I did like the music however, and the splatter effects were excellent. You clearly have some talent. In future maybe try and create something with a bit more plot and originality, with skill like yours I'm sure it would do well.
3/5

[The Mouse (true story)]

Good choice of music!!

The graphics were pretty average, but a combination of a good story (I hadn't heard that one, sounds hilarious!!!) and an inspired choice of music made it really enjoyable to watch. It doesn't matter that it is quite short, it doesn't need to be any longer.
4/5
