Jovatov's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom - Disc 1 [REMASTERED]]

It's okay. But it needed a faster pacing. A lot of scenes (like the funeral) could easily take half the time. You also use the 'star'-transition too much which takes out pace.

The story is mediocre, I like how the characters talk. However the ending was dumbly shown. Of course if you show three seconds of Luigi being attacked no one is going to get what that means.

6/10

[Mario's Revenge: SE]

Here goes

Well, the graphics were, above all, very smooth. the characters, coulde looked a bit better, but the backgrounds really looked very smooth and very nice.
I like random movies, except for 'let's put a penis on a celibrity'random but this was just random as in wtf is this random which I do like. So the style is very good.
Sound is really good too, allthough, as said, some music was chopped off rather awkwardly, and sound effects could probably used some work, but it was fine overall.
The violence in this movie was really what was all about. SuperSayanMario going rampage against clocks! And all the action was quite neat looking so I'll give you a 9 for that too.
The menu was fine, and the pre-loader was okay too. So I'll give interactivity an 8.
I lol'd at Mario eating a pizza very fast, but that was about it, so a 7 for humor.
All in all, the movie was very long, and not really that boring, so eventually, you go home with a nine.

Now go work on UT3 :P

Nice movie

This was nice, the graphics were okay, the sound was good, I like your simple style, and it got a chuckle out of me too.
The guy on the start was a bit weird especially his eyebrows but meh.

Evan responds:

Haha, I made his eyebrows like that on purpose :P

[Experiment_16]

Wow!

I TOTALLY loved this! The graphics were awsome, you did put in some nice effects and it all matched VERY well with the music. The music was pretty good too, and the style was downright superb!
The only complaint I have is that it's too short, but I'm gonna watch your other experiments right now, and hope that there as good as this one!

[SSBM Collab]

Not that great.

This wasn't all that great, I liked spare jello's flash, that was the best that was featured in this collab. But even his wasn't THAT great. Most of em had very sloppy tweens in them, and it looked crappy with the % on the screen on weird places, sprites falling through floors and stuff. This could be way better.
There wasn't any point to it, and it was just random fighting which gets boring if its done in a sloppy way like this.

[There she is!!!]

One of the best.

This has it all, cute charactars, great music, lots of camera angles, feel-good-humor, I just love this movie, it rocks!

[TooF Solid vs Croose]

It's good.

The fighting was pretty cool, but some effects you put in weren't. I didn't like how Solid Toof suddenly burst in the movie. You should've motion tween him moving into him, even if it is only 3 frames it helps makes things smoother. I didn't like the gunfire too. It was really weird, and the guns appeared out of nowhere too, which should be faded in or something, make it flow more.
All that doesn't mean that I didn't like it, it was a great episode and a laughed pretty hard. Oh, and just to say, I like the commentary, and respect that you have some bleeps. There.
More please.

MACception responds:

It really ruins the "Magic" of my movies when I do the zoomed-out thing...Seriously, it shows you that things just appear. The guns coulc have come out of no where if you didn't see them just appear, and so could he. It's just the style I went for...Sorry :( Same with the gunfire...I loved it, and had plans for that all along... :(

Hey man, constructive criticizm...I like it. Thanks for the advice.

[The Skar]

OK

This was OK, it was nicely done except for the ball that wasn´t very good in flying and stuff, I think you did some random thing to it and going from one piece to another wasn´t very well done. Nonetheless it looked great.
The style, was, well, OK, I guess, it wasn´t very original but twas still okay.
The sound was, rather boring but you could turn it off and that´s a good thing.
Anyways I liked this, you could do better on the transitions, I´d like to see more of this.
