Aleister-Crowley's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hip Hop Christmas]

Not Entirely Bad...

At least you tried, the backgrounds were passable, though I'd say with more practice you could do much better.

Keep in mind though, that if you do want to get better, you should take the good reviews with the bad, they can tell you what you do right, and what needs inmprovement.

[Nightmare City]

Impressive!

Very well put together! I can't help but feel like I've seen this somewhere before... maybe Deviant Art? Well something like this, but this is totally new. Well, at least this part. Anyway, great job, this rocks, but I can't help but feel a little cheapened by the rapid-fire fighting sequence. I've just seen it done so many times... But don't let it stop you.

Now if I may, how many are in your team? Just two? Or...?

[Pandora's Book]

It's so beautiful.

I can't tell you how much I liked this. There are a lot of high-ranked animations out there that really blow the competition away, but the most hyper-kinetic and action-packed sometimes feel like the animation itself is bludgeoning you.

This, however, is the opposite. It's tender, beautifully done, and doesn't need any hyperactive junk to make it better. Promise to make more, and you'll be seeing solid 10's in your reviews.

(I gave you a 9 for it being a little short, but keep up the good work. You've got some talent here)

[Kirby's Kalamity 1.3]

Good work

I say, go with DK. There aren't enough flash movies about him.

P.S. Cutter333 is dumb

[Kirby's Kalamity 1.2]

It's still good.

It's not perfect, mind you, but it is a lot better than the first one. Keep it up and try to go for full animation next time!

Oh, and Cutter333, he didn't make himself a godly character, if he was then he wouldn't have "fainted." Plus, since it's his flash, he can make YL and Kirby good friends, and make them as experienced as he wants them to. What you're practically telling this guy to do is to take the road mostly traveled on, making his version of Kirby as everyone thinks he should be. That's not cool.

The fact that he did something a little different was pretty cool, and you have no right to slap him around for not making Kirby fit your perverse standards.

To answer your questions

The Rock Demon didn't do that attack until the end because it wouldn't have been nearly as cool. Ever seen those limit breaks in FFVII? After enough damage was incurred you could do a really cool attack. And let's face it, during the final fight, if Sephiroth casted his killer move at the beginning and kept doing it, it wouldn't be a very fun battle.

And the rock-demon copy thing did only 5 damage because it was an attack of the same type of the monster. DUR.

Anyway, good job YL, keep it up, do more animating and don't be afraid to keep trying.

[Kirby's Kalamity 1.1]

I liked it

Ignore the idiot below me, this was a good flash.

Yes, it was simple, but it has a lot of potential. Unlike the stuff we're supposed to be keeping out of the portal, this entry has more story, is longer than most blammed movies and there is evident effort in this.

I say keep up the good work, I really like this series. And as long as you keep trying and do your absolute best, your entries will never be blammed.

(BTW, what was the song you used neart the end when the stone demon appeared, as well as the one used in the fight in the next two?)

[Ask Al: Babies]

I like it

I'm not too into Al Pigioni, but I do like your style quite a lot. Keep up the great work.

[Frame Experiment]

I like it

I say go ahead and use this style. It would really work in a music video, because it reminds of that one episode of Family Guy when Chris got pulled into the juice cabinets and a music video played. I loved that part.

"Chris, where have you been?"

"I DON'T KNOOOWWW!"

Definitely add some music to it, and a bit more animation (just enough for the song you know).

[Macbeth Puppet Pals]

A bit bland....

There were some parts that were funny, and even random as well. However, there are places where the humor kinda dies down, such as the last scene with Lady Macbeth. It just needed.... something.

Yes, I know, I helped a bit, but all I did was add sound effects and that Mortal Kombat scene, but that doesn't mean I can't downgrade you for sub-par graphics and poor puppet physics, but oh well. You got your point across and I liked it. Banquo was the star of the show, after all, even in death.

The sounds were great. You, Chad, supplied very nice music, but I don't think Edgen would appreciate that you mis-spelled his/her name. The sounds effects were great, in my opinion, but if the file space allowed it, I would hgave added in more variety. SOmetimes the voice acting was a bit staticy, but only slightly.
Lastly, and most importantly, seek me out for artistic help.... as well as story development, in your next project.

Anyone who doesn't understand what's going on, well, here's the story. Macbether hears 3 witches tell of a prophecy that he will become king of Scotland. His crazy-as-demented-hell-on-ice wife instantly comes up with a plan to kill Duncan, the current king, by having him over to Macbeth's castle for dinner (his wife is seriously isane, who thinks of killing a king just like that?). Macbeths kills Duncan, then Banquo (his own friend, for witnessing the murder of Duncan). Macbeth goes back to those 3 crazy hags and they show him 3 apparitions, which state that Macbeth is invincible, unless the trees walk up the hill and a man not woman-born (MacDuff, or as I call him, McD). Upon hearing this, Macbeth thinks he's invincible, since it seems all these events seem unlikely (the last apparition is him in the future, dead and bloody). His wife then goes nuts, thinking she sees blood, and eventually kills herself. MacDuff sends soldiers up to McB's castle using tree branches as camoflague (the reason he's attacking? read the book to find out). Macbeth is shocked by seeing the trees walk up the hill, and then ol' McD shows up, claiming that his mommy had a C-Section. That's not naturally woman-born. So they clash and McD wins. End of story. Oh, and Banquo's son becomes king. Yaaaay.
