Xiivi's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DE_aztec]

Best stick flash I've seen for a long time.

This flash was clever, funny, and unique. Although it was stick your backrounds were solid as was everything else. What really hurt you was the use of stick. Although it did make it funnier. You used many sound effects as well as great backround music. You gave us so many options that this flash was more interactive than some games I've seen. It was filled with violence and comedy and your style pulled it all together wonderfully. I can't wait to see more from you. I saw you've been improving since your earlier flashes. You just keep getting better!

[Final Fantasy A+]

I find it very hard to give out straight 10s.

But this flash earned every point it's worth. You're artwork was flawless. It was some of the best I've seen, not only on this site, but anywhere. I loved the fact that you kept to Final Fantasy's origins and used Japanese. Mainly because I speak the language also. Nihongo ski desu ka. Also all of your sound effects were right on beat. Interactivity is what usually prevents animations from all tens. Mainly because all I ever see are play and replay. Yet that bar you had that let you skip around to your favourite parts earned you a 10. Your style is just wonderful. Your story was original and was entertaining. Although it lacked blood and guts you're violence rating recieves a ten because you kept true to the battle style. You preserved what made it Final Fantasy. You had me laughing throughout a lot of this flash. You jokes, although somewhat repetitive, were unique and true to the flash. And you say you did this for you're Japanese final? I hope you got an A+ yourself. Sadly it was most likely graded on your pronounciation and I did hear a mispronounciation here and there. But not enough to stand out and lower your grade. Well good job, especially for you're first flash! I hope to see more of your work in the future.

[Mega Man vs. Quick Man]

Capcom would be proud to see this tribute.

Your drawings were very good except near the beginning were megaman appeared to be a tad flat. Yet from then on they appeared flawless except for a few minor bumps in the lines. I liked your choices in sound effects and music. They were all on que and on sync. You made it a very interesting fight for Mega Man to have to go through. Normally in the game you would merely use the time stop technique right of the bat and make short work of Quick Man. Yet if you did that in the flash it would have been quite dull. I also noticed you made Mega Man bleed. Even though this would be impossible for Mega Man I thought it was a nice touch to the flash. You did also build quite an interesting climax. You did throw a gag in here and there which helped hold it together rather than it just being fight, fight, fight. This helped me keep my attention on the flash and not get bored with it. I hope to see more work from you in the future. And may I suggest that you make your sound a bit louder on some areas. I had to turn it up for one part then turn it back for another. Please keep it consistant. Thank you.

A truely wonderful flash.

When I saw your other flash, F E A R, I earned much respect for you. I thought you were one of the best flash artists. But now that you've made this flash I must say that my respect for you has greatly risen. This is a very well thought out and nicely put together flash. I must say that your animation and drawing skills have increased to an even higher level than the already wonderful level they were at. You had wonderful sound that was perfectly in sync. I just loved your style of flash! You are truely one of the best out there. I can't wait to see more from you. Yet I did see one small spot where it got somewhat blurry. I don't know if this was intentional or if it was merely a simple mishap. But it does take away from the flash some. It only shows that you have room for even more improvement.

[Magical Trevor]

Quite humorous

Graphics 10: Very good artwork. Very solid and smooth.

Sound 10: One of the most hilarious songs I've heard in a long while.

Interactivity 0: Usually I am able to give people a 2 or 3 in this area because of play and rewind buttons, yet this is something that this lacks.

Style 10: It has it's own unique and catchy style that keeps you watching.

Violence 0: Completely absent, yet it is in no way needed.

Humor 10: By far one of your more comical flashes.

Overall 10: Perhaps the catchinesss of your flash is what makes it truely great.

Due to the slight loop mistake when you watch this multiple times in a row and don't restart the song will start to get off sync with the animation itself. After watching it for many many hours on end it took around 6 hours for it to realign with the original movie. Just an extra staticstic for all you other viewers. Also I like your preloader, but it's been overdone and I think you could find a more creative one.

[Teh CC Slumber Partay P1]

Very nice overall

Graphics 10: Very nice artwork, I can tell you didn't let that year go to waste.

Sound 8: Good, but the voices get annoying over time.

Interactivity 10: Lots of buttons for many things, better than the usual play and replay buttons.

Style 10: CC is ok, yet your unique way of doing things boosts the score up.

Violence 7: It had some stuff every now and then, not too much though.

Humor 10: Does this really need to be explained?

I really enjoyed your flash and hope that your second part will come out soon and not take another year. Hope you get a good rating on this and your second. Thank you for once again proving that CC does still have some life left and talented flash artists.

Topcatyo responds:

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for starting my day off extremely happy. Reviews like these are what get artists to make cartoons.
Part 2 is already finished, but I'm waiting till clockday (August 15).
Thank you for the review.

[Chipmunks Gangsta Rap]

Perfect in almost all aspects

Graphics 10: Great drawings. I can tell you worked hard.

Sound 10: Hilarious song you used!

Interactivity 10: You had a bunch of buttons to press for play, rewind, pause, quality, best up dave, ect.

Style 10: Your raps are unique and original.

Violence 10: You killed Dave, YAY!

Humor 10: One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

This only heightens my respect for those 3 little critters!!!

[superdog tribute to avril]

Woah.

That was so random, pointless, and idiotic that I have to give it a ten!

Nice graphics, clear sound, a play and replay button, random style, t-rex violence, and insanly funny.

Can't beat that!

[The Icecream Machine]

That was a great flash!

You had good graphics, pretty much flawless.

You had a great voice for the kid and the robot.

For interactivity you had a play, skip, and replay button.

Style, no one really makes evil Ice Cream Machines, nice and original.

Violence, the only thing really violent was the ice cream getting chucked at the poor kid.

Humor, you had me laughing most of the way through the flash.

What else can I say besides it was really good and deserved it's daily feature placement.

PS, I like your comments. LOL! True story!

[HotFish-SameButDifferent]

Splendid, Spectacual, Superb!

Now that was a meaningful flash. I love your style. You don't go the "OMG I need violence and swear words to make my flash good." approach. Instead you take things your own unique way, and it is a very good way at that too!

Graphics- You are a wonderful artist and do deserve all 10 points.

Sound- Yet again you shed light on another glorious song to me! 10 points for you.

Interactivity- A gave you a 5 for the Play and Return buttons, you should really consider adding a bar at the top or bottom or where-ever like some others do to pause and rewind/fast forward.

Style- 10 points for the reasons explained before.

Violence- You had none, so 0. Yet that is not always a bad thing.

Humor- 5, it was meant to be deep and meaningful, not humorous, but the fact you used fish for your example made me chuckle a bit.

Overall- 10, I can tell you worked hard and you did get your point across to me.

I hope to see some more of your creations soon.
