[Mario vs. Sonic -The War]

Why is Luigi on Sonic's side?!

Y'know, I liked this version of Sonic vs. Mario a LOT better than the VGDC version. Not that the other one sucks, but this has more things going for it.
First off, the music is a LOT better, which makes any movie more tolerable. Second, the story is a bit more compelling and continually action-packed. I like war-type movies. Thirdly, and most importantly, the graphics are MUCH better, and the sprites are handled in a far more expert fashion. Instead of a static shot, there's panning, zooming, and gore-a-plenty. You can't have enough gore. It's also somewhat amusing, but the FDA joke was SO predictable, and didn't really fit the mood.
Overall, awesome job! I really, really liked this movie. This should be #1 instead of the VGDC version.

[Mario VS. Sonic (VGDC)]

a _GOOD_ vgdc movie?!

This is creative, original, and wildly inventive. A wonderful idea, done with wonderful execution. Not only are the two main characters well-animated (considering the limitations of emulated sprites), they interact well interchangeably with elements from both worlds. The sound is good, the choice of NPC's amusing, and both endings are quite amusing. Though I admit I rather liked the carnage of the Sonic ending better. ^_^ And there are mystery endings coming up soon? Great bonzai, there's a lot of good stuff in this movie! I can definitely see why this secured a current 4.07 vote and the #1 spot. Awesome work!

[STICKDBZ]

Good DBZ movie.

Sweet stuff. Good loop music, nice idea, and some sweet frame animation. I just wonder how frame animation must take hours on end, even with basic sticks. Good job with the animation and DBZ style, though the absense of a plot makes it seem a bit hollow.
The stick figures don't detract much, since all the expressions are in the face anyway. Nice job!

Someone's brown-nosing

Well, this is ass-kissing a'plenty. But it's all true. ^_^ A major congratulations to Wade, I hope it works out for him!
As for Newgrounds... you're absolutley right. Newgrounds kicks so much ass it blows my mind. And it only keeps getting better. What started as simple Celebrity-kiling in 96 has become so much more. There's so much talent here. *SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT* It was Newgrounds that inspired me to make my first (of hopefully more) flash movie. A truly unique website, no, web-unto-itself. And it's ALL FREE as love! Rock on, Tom, Wade, Ross, and the rest.
Well, now I guess MY nose is brown. But hey, I mean every word. Rock on, my Fulp-men!

[Goo - Part 1]

Slimiest movie I ever saw.

I don't care what some people are saying.. this is GREAT work! The fluidity and realism of the animation is absolutly astonishing. You've done an incredible job of making a black blob move as physics would demand. That takes tremendous animation talent. Even the sound is realistic.
As for the length, I'd say it only makes the movie better. The relaxed, carefree pace of the movie only makes it more interesting and compelling.
Though I must say, I feel sorry for the poor blob. What crime is bouncing that he deserves such an entrapped prison? Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for part 2!

[Vegeta's Problem]

Excellent DBZ potty humor.

Ahh, a DBZ tribute that DOESN'T SUCK! A rarity these days, but it's a good one at that. Graphics are a bit edgy, but what really sold me were the voices and the simple potty humor. "Lemme guess... Dad's constipated again." I love it. The SSJ ending was the kicker. Bravo.

[Nya Nya Nya]

MORE oddly-animated Japenese Pokemon Songs?

That was odd. You seem to have a thing for taking Japanese Pokemon songs, and then putting them to really odd flash files. Ironically, this movie is probably only SLIGHTLY more odd than the original video for Meowth's Party... STRANGE. So I guess a strange movie about a strange movie makes it... doubly strange?
Anyhow, this thing is all right, but a little variety in your work would be appreciated. There's only so much demand for dancing heads with bulging eyes. And try to cut down on the flashing lights. If I was epilectic I'd probably be on the floor having seizures right now.

[Mario : 2 sexy]

Been done, and better.

I thought this was just stupid. It's not like we don't have enough FDA Mario jokes on NG as it is.

[Windows RG]

*shudder*

This movie actually made me shudder, and that's a rare talent. This movie is also painfully true, and it makes me want to scream. Every time I hear THAT sound in Windows, it just makes me want to curl into a ball and cry in a corner like a little girl. Either that, or grab a gun and take a little trip to Seattle, WA.
Nice work. But please don't make anything like this again. I like to sleep at night.

[H2H KOMBAT 3]

Marvelous work!

An awesome end to this trilogy! Truly, this is the greatest of the three (so far?). Your animation shows constant improvement. Like before, your movies show a solid animation style, good fighting sequences, and violence o' plenty for all us blood-thirsty folk. ^_^ Plus, you added to your previous movies by giving the characters a basic sense of personal style and personality.
And what's more, you FINALLY ended the series the way I wanted you too... I hope that doesn't give too much away. ^_^ Overall, another stunning job. You put true effort into your movies, which can be a rarity around here sometimes.
