Sentio's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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...
5/5

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??)

shampawnya responds:

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

[Drunk Again..]

Liked it

I really enjoyed that, it's one of my favourite songs (it's just so appropriate!!!). The graphics weren't great, but to be honest I don't really care, and in a way it just added to the sort of drunken haze (which was brought across extremely well!!). I hope to see more from you, especially if the songs are as well chosen!
3/5

Thanks man! Means alot!

A worthy cause

Well, having just watched and reviewed 'The Ultimate Showdown' it gave me the urge to come and review this, another of my favourites (I tend to be pretty lazy when it comes to reviewing, something I will endeavour to change).
This flash is totally made by the music. Graphically although competent it is hardly stunning, but that is unimportant as it fits the style of the flash. However the song is so good that it is hard not to love this, especially as it speaks of an issue close to the heart of many on this site.

5/5

altffour responds:

this was made in a weekend, graphics were kind of rushed.

[Android X-19]

Makes a change!!

I've got so used to blamming movies that claim to be the authors first that this came as a huge surprise!! For once someone has actually taken the time to practice before sending in any movies, and the effort you have put in certainly shows.
The graphics are the most noticeable thing about the movie, simply because they are so good!! Up there with the best of them on this site. The music is also very suitable for the work, although one of my few complaints is that it is all a little slow, especially at the start. However the ending is excellent, and brings some much needed humour to it. Only other problem is the spelling error at the start, but that is insignificant compared to the rest of the movie.
Top notch!! 5/5

Creative-Brain responds:

damn you mister Adeb "my english teacher" thanks.

[SS Time Trials 18]

Rubbish as usual

Well no surprise here, I honestly have no idea how these keep getting through. I am not going to suggest mass voting as that just doesn't seem possible, you would need an awful lot of people to get it through. Maybe somebody out there likes it?? If so I feel sorry for them, I suggest if anyone voted for this to pass they should visit some sort of psychiatrist.
The preloader got you 1 for graphics, all the movies were awful though. If submitted on their own they would never have passed. Two for sound as there was a half decent song, but 0 for everything else as there was certainly no style or humour in any way.
So, 0/5 in total. There is no point me saying stop making these, no doubt it will fall on deaf ears. All I can do is ask that you make some effort in future??

TwoStar responds:

Although you rated low, I have a lot of respect for you by knowing that we don't mass vote, and even if we did, we would need 65 voters at least, the whole Star Syndicate only numbers about 25-30.

And yes, the quality as been slipping since #15, from #20 onwards, we will ensure that the quality is stepped up a notch.

Thank you for your time.

[Search 4 Sleep: Part 1]

Not too bad...

It was fairly well animated, and for once the story wasn't terrible (though it was far from great). The only major problems were that the sound was a bit lacking (could have done with some sort of background music), and that it wasn't finished. It is always really annoying when flash seems only half done like that, it wasn't as if you were struggling to get within the size limit or anything. I hope I catch the end of it to see what happens anyway. 2/5

Smash-Joehanson responds:

I did add background music where suitable. It was finished, this is just the intro though.

[Pixel love]

Need some practice

OK, start with the good parts. The music was of course excellent, and the animation wasn't terrible. However, the sprites needed to be much larger, most of the time you took up less than a quarter of the available space. There also needs to be a background, plain white is just boring. Finally, and most importantly of all, it needs a decent plot, that was pretty dull to be honest. Just keep practising... 2/5

T-O responds:

The white background keeps it clean and cute.. :D

I'll sure keep on practising! Don't worry :D I'll make a movie which will make you proud! :D
