Nylo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flying Dream]

Touching.

Very deep, the music really conveys the strong emotion, it's unbelievable. All your diolauge was very well written and effective. The descent into the light was really moving. Great job and excellent music choice to deliver such a powerful short film. Great job.

[Pinnicle's Art Homework]

Mwa ha ha ha ha

I rarely ever rate short-movies this high, but that was just too damn funny. I was like "What the hell is he doin.....Ohhhhhhh!!!!" Ha ha, you really caught me off guard. Nice visuals, sfx, and excellent sense of style. I got a kick out of it, great work.

[DragonSpawn Trailer]

Good job for a trailer.

Wow, a trailer that's actually interesting, but *gasp* informative. You seem to know what you want out of the series, which is always a plus. I can't even begin to recount the number of trailers I've seen where it's clear the author is completely over-ambitious and will never complete the series in a million years. Visuals look nice, too. The fancy suit in the dark atmosphere really set a mood. Spit screen was a nice touch, too. God knows drawing in Flash is a pain in the ass, so I hope you'll have the perserverance to stick it out and make the complete version. Wings looked a little iffy at the end, maybe add more shape and definition (pointed with claw-like things at the end, like bats). But other than that, really good for a trailer. Nice job and good luck.

dslmodem responds:

Thanks. I do plan on finish it, mostly because my girlfriend really want to see it finished, and if I don't she'll nag me to death. It will take me some time, that why I targeted several month from now, because I don't get a lot of time to work on it. And the wings I had originally intentioned to be black feather-ed angel wings. Hope you get to see the finished version, and thanks for the input.

[Mario vs. Metal Sonic]

Needs lots of work.

It's a decent attempt, but you're really stretching it with trying to make another Mario Vs. Sonic movie. There are so many you've placed yourself in a category of "Just another mario vs. sonic movie."
Your movie is dying for some sense of plot or flow. You have to really ask yourself, what's so interesting about Mario fighting sonic out of the blue? You need to create some heavy conflict between the two, why are these guys fighting in the first place? The ony way you can pull off s random fight out of the blue is if you have some heavy, heavy action in it. Having static sprites bump into eachother every so often and quick fireballs just won't do it. You need to add some background damage, more exposions, some ass whooping (stuff like where one character holds the other down temporarily and wales on them).
It really is a good attempt, but to really m ake something special I highly recomend the few things I mentioned. You can always check out the VGDC movies excessively and see what qualities make them so good.
I hate to ramble on and on, but you sound like you really want to get better in time. Keep on practicing and work on making the sprites imitate what you want them to do better. Good luck, MGChaos.

[Zelda: Rinku's firstflash]

Ha ha, cute.

Very nice visuals, for being new at flash, i'm surprised you have your gradients down to imitate Navi's glow effect. Your character expression is done very nicely, too. If you can really get flash down, I should expect to see some reallly great things from you. Good luck.

[Kenshin:Lost inthe desert]

Nice visuals, but soooo boring.

You had really nice visuals and a good idea, but it took soooo long for it to get anywhere, which in the end wasn't anywhere at all. It's like you just gave up. Nice visuals but style is the most important part of a flash movie and this just didn't have it.

[Megaman X Trainning Room]

It's alright.

Nothing amazing or revolutionary, but like you said, this is your first flash movie. Not too bad at all, really. It's good that you're using game sprites first for your flash movies, it helps you get aquainted with Flash without having to draw your characters; just try not to get hooked on them. Try adding some music and plot next time as well. Not bad for your first flash, keep on practicing; you've already performed better than over three quarters of the "first flash" submissions.

[MegamanX Rage (teaser)]

Tomarrow?

Very short, works as a teaser but when you set a release date and don't follow through with it, it really defeats the whole point of even puttin a teaser on in the first place. If you can somehow submit the real movie by the end of today than I'll vote a few threes or fours, zeros from here on out if not. False advertising pisses me off.

Sureal-Inc responds:

Well I'm sorry bout that but it's kinda been delayed for a while(file size issue)because it's so long I might
have to turn it into a series.If you
know how I can shorten the size you
