TheAbominableMatt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Baa Baa, Shut UP]

i'm seriously impressed

Having tried animating movement in humans (not sheep tho) i am impressed with what you've done. Lip syncing was great and it was pretty damn funny. I look forward to seeing things from you in the future.

KenSkaii responds:

thanks for watching my stuff.

[Man]

I liked it

pretty simple but still better than most of the shit i've seen submitted today.

I dont get what happened at the end tho, why did he become the devil? Or was there no reason to it?

kikkimikki responds:

Thanks for that great score dude

[LoZ - The Final Link]

I think it's great

The thunder sound effect got annoying whenever i was reading the back story, which was good but I think it should reworded a bit. I'm not talking about the kokori blood thing cause i know you mentioned that in your comments but that is wrong and it annoyed me a wee bit. I also think you should've drawn the actual master sword, it looks like it and you can tell that it is the master sword but its not the same design as the sword in the ocarina of time.

I commend you for trying to take Link into a new style and storylin as it is something few people doing link tributes have to courage to do. I really liked this despite the few problems i had with it and its clear to see that there was alot of effort put in, especially since you told us this in your making section.

Speaking of your making section, I really liked the simplicity of the menu and the power wisdom and courage thing. I was trying to figure out which of the triangles stood for which thing a while back but I don't think i can take your word for it because of the few mistakes you made.

Really good job and I hope you do more LoZ stuff because I love it too.

LeviFolds responds:

was having a hard time figuring out if you were complimenting or scorning, heh - but i get the feeling that most people like this to some degree but there are some things that bothered them, some incinsistancies, inaccuracies and such - in the menu i put courage on top, wisdom on the bottom right and power on the bottom left - i did not think to properly place the pieces in the menu, because i wanted play on top, making on the left and the story on the right, for convenience and i chose the attributes of the triforce i thought went best with the options - play for courage, making for power and story for wisdom - makes sense, no ? in the movie however, when the triforce glows on each of their hands at various points, their specific triforce piece does glow in the correct place - 'ganon' on top for power and 'link' on bottom left for courage - those are the correct placements for the triforce pieces - but honestly, i worked hours a day on this, mainly between 1am and 5am cause i have no time during the day to do this and i hardly sleep so it was convenient for my schedule - and my mind wasnt all there for some parts of the movie - those are the parts that will tend to be inaccurate or seem not to flow as well - i really hope this movie didnt offend any zelda fans - i kno i get upset at directors when they take something i love and trash it but thats mainly because theyre getting millions of dollars to do it - i got nothing for this and all i have is my work to show and i put a hell of a lot of time, thouoght and effort into this so i appreciate the good reviews and tho i accept the negative ones, please be fair like this guy

its not that i didn't like it...

.. i did, it's just that this kind of thing doesn't really belong on newgrounds in my opinion. It would be better suited on filmfights (i'm not trying to promote unrelated websites here, so dont report the review) or some other site like it.

The film showed that you choreographed your fight quite well and for that i congratulate you. If i was going to make any suggestion however, it would be to improve the quality of the sound and the script. If you do submit movies like this again to newgrounds try to include some aspect of flash in the presentation, although the sound affects were a nice touch.
Thats juat my opinion and good look in your future productions.

machstealth responds:

well i dont think knox's video dubs should be on newgrounds OR his clay mations. Only because there videos....you piece of shit

[clayzilla]

shows real promise

that was pretty good, there were a few things i didn't like but there were more things that i did like. That pirate magician i thought was the best part of the movie.

I look forward to seeing more and if they're as good as that one you can count on me to protect them

The-Protector responds:

1. thanks
2. my next one will not be as good but better !

good comment thx

[Air Guitar Masta]

no effort at all

this won't get blammed but it should. The isn't even very good, it just looks like bad dancing. If it was a kind of "starwarskid" thing, he didn't know he was being filmed. then it might have been funny. I dont think this was the case though cause it didn't say anything in the authors comment. If he didn't know he was being filmed then im sorry for the bad score.

FourStar responds:

you didn't know you were being a dumbass by writing that borderline-retarded review

[Don't do this]

good idea

i agree with the last guy, foamy is really overdone and could do with being in there. I dont think madness should be in there though cause they're all great. I liked the animation style though, it was really good, dunno about the sound though.

FireHound responds:

well... I didn't mean to attack the madness guy himself... but I did mean to attack the ppl who try to recreate his movies...

[Poninjas Relinquished]

as good as it gets

This is actually better than any of the original Poninja stuff by AngryMouse14. What the hell are you even reading this for anyway, go watch it now.

Shinkdog responds:

i dont think its better than the original but thanks anyway.

[SDPT 2 Preview]

good idea

i get the idea someone has been bombing around the parking lot or his local tescos in a shopping cart ;) Nice idea and the animation was really smooth in places. I'll definatley watch the finnished piece

cool-penguin-0 responds:

Good, and fifen the finished piece too I hope :p
