Blackharrier32's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zone of the Awesome]

Epic.

That was brilliant! I'm a big fan of the Awesome series and it was good to see a worthwhile tribute.

Script and concept were brilliant. Like you say, ZoE isn't the trendiest game around, but there was more than enough scope for a parody, and the dialogue was hilarious :)
Art and animation was great, it was much better-looking than most Flashes I've seen lately.
Audio was almost perfect, the voice-acting was perfect and the music was good, but I did think there was some filtering needed to remove some extraneous recording noise (this being Newgrounds, it happens).

Parody, cock jokes, Hideo Kojima, Megadeth - what more could we ask for? :)

I like how you think. lol

Thanks for the awesome review! This covered everything!

[Paradigm: episode 1]

Could be better...

Overall I was a little underwhelmed by this Flash, I was expecting good things after reading the blurb.
Concept was very good...in the blurb. Unfortunately absolutely none of that came through in your storytelling during the movie itself. The closest thing there was to a plot outline was the random collection of characters in the same place, but without any reason given, it just made things seem all over the place. Script was...well, it didn't have a whole lot to do with anything. You'll have to improve your storytelling for future episodes, you can't rely on the blurb to do all the talking.
Art and animation is a tough one to decide about. I'm a sprite agnostic, but you clearly did plenty of work with what you had available.... Full marks for effort, but it was a little uncomfortable on the eye at times.
Sound was fine, no problems there. Music was well chosen, and no real technical issues with the audio.

All in all - you've got a good idea, start doing it justice.

thank you very much fo your constructive critism. Of course, currently, none of the characters know that they are just cyberspace, and the core will explain that to them in episode 3 or 4, but truely, I did lack some of the storytelling. Please also watch episode 2 if you want, I promise It'll be an improvement!!!
