[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.5]

Disappointing, the series worst

I was very disappointed by this the last 2 episodes in this series have been good, but this one just completely slipped, it wasn't too bad, but it should have been better, you clearly have the ability as I've seen you do it.

As this movie has two features worth commenting on I shall mention each one in a seperate part of my review.

MENU OPTIONS

Music game
It was an alright game to play and was fun to play around with for a while, perhaps you could have had a list of songs included with a music sheet telling you how to play them or something as it was very difficult to work out the notes and I couldn't do it at all and in the end I just gave up bothering with trying to find out, I did make a cool sounding little tune though by pressing random keys.

Van Helsing Parody
I wasn't at all interested in it, as a movie by itself it would have been entirely pointless, I had no problem with you submitting it in this however, but if you had or hadn't it would have made no difference whatsoever.

Character Screen
The screen with the pictures of all the characters on just seemed completely pointless as they were nothing but just pictures, you should have been able to click on each one and a profile about them should have opened up, or at least you should have had it so that their name shows up when you scroll over them.

MOVIE
It was disappointing because it was just too short and there wasn't much story, it was just the final battle with John, it would have been nicer if afterwards you could have seen what happened with the other guys, I guess the battle was about the appropriate length for what it was, it could have done with being a tad bit longer though, and it should have been more gripping. Had I not seen the previous episodes in this series you would have got a 1 for this as it didn't explain the story and it was basically just a fight, but as the fight had story to it you get a 2.

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.4]

This series gets better each time

That was good, you so almost got a 4 for this, but it was just that bit lacking.

The first scene with Bat was ncie but the fight could have been longer, the second guy should have taken him some time to beat or something, and it just seemed a bit weird with him talking to the green guy, then fighting, then talking to him again, perhaps the green guy should have reacted to the fight or something.

The second scene was great, the fight was of a perfect length and was very nicely done, there were only two flaws, you made a grammatical error, it should have been "if it isn't the little fighter guys" instead of "but it isn't the little fighter guys", also The Turks music just didn't work, as it's sound is like a people approaching kind of sound instead of, we just won a fight now we'll go find the others kind of thing.

The third scene was also nice due to it being different from the others as them guys met people who were on their side instead of against them, it could have done with being a bit longer though, it just seemed that bit lacking and it was just too short.

Sorry for giving these movies low overall scores, but my overall score is an average of the appropriate score ratings for a movie, in this ones case graphics, sound, style and violence. And due to my sprites graphic rule it lowers the score, so sorry, it probably looks like I hate it when I don't, I like it in fact. Anyway well done, good job, keep up the good work.

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.3]

Nice, the best so far, but again it was too short

I liked it, it reminded me of some old games i used to play that were similar to the style of this movie, it was very nice when that guy got frozen and they had to fight him and the fight was just about an appropriate length for what it was, it could have done with an extra 5-10 seconds to it though, just so there'd have been that bit more. I liked it when John turned up as well and teleported eevryone apart from Bat away so it was just up to Bat to take him on, that part was a nice idea and it was fun to watch, although that fight should have gone on for much longer than it did, you also ended the movie way too early it would ahev been nice to have seen what happened to the others in this movie rather than in the next, like I'm assuming is going to happen. Also I think maybe you ahd the text going too quick, i could read it fine but I'm a fast reader so maybe that was a problem for others, if it was a problem for others go back to it and edit the movie by adding in a few more frames so the texts on the screen for longer, if it wasn't and it was fine, then obviously just leave it.

Maybe you should have combined this one with the last one and put something in to fill in the little gap inbetween, but then due to the fights that probably wouldn't have worked too well so maybe you should have had something that filled in some information about the story or the backgrounds of the characters.

I'm not being a dick by saying this, I'm not like that, but due to the shortness of this movie your only just earning the 3 I'm going to give you for it, I feel I'm being generous here as normally when I watch a movie that earns a 3, if it's too short I'll give it a 2 as I was dissapointed by it, but I won't do that here, you get your 3.

It feels nice to give a movie a 3, it's been a while since I've seen one that deserved more than a 2, so thanks for making something that I liked watching. Anyway well done, good job, keep up the good work(been a while since I got to say that too).

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.2]

It was alright, it should have been longer

It was alright and it was kinda fun to watch, but there just wasn;t much to see, the fight scene should have been longer instead of being all over after 10 seconds, they should have had to struggle for a victory so that it was more gripping and fun to watch, I thought it was nice when they got the girl and threatened to shoot her and then that guy came to her rescue, it may be an overdone idea, but it still works. It looked really bad when they kept stopping everytime the text came up and they wouldn't move again until you'd pressed continue, you should have just had them continually walking throughout the whole text, until the part where the guy turned round as it would have looked so much better that way. Anyway this was better than the first and had it been longer I would have given it a higher score.

[Little Fighter Alpha Ch.1]

Meh, it wasn't too bad

It wasn't too bad and was alright for a sprite movie, but there wasn't really much to it to be honest, it jsut seemed like an intro to a series, which it probably is, I wasn't too keen on the final fight, it just didn't have anything that kept me interested and when you had the closeup of the eyes it just looked poor, due to them being sprites and you increasing the size of them dramatically. It looks like you had a nice story set up though and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this series.

Sorry for the score of 0 for graphics, but I always give 0's for sprites unless the flash author drew them theirselves as there absically just pasted images.

This is a series I've been meaning to watch for about a month or so now, number 8 getting into the portal top 50 just seemed like a good excuse for me to finally get round to it, well done on achieving that 7 months after it was submitted.

[Prom Night]

Hmm, it wasn't too bad

It wasn't too bad but it could have been better, like there could have been a reason for the guy doing it rather than it just being pointless killings, there also should have been people in the background when the people got killed at the prom, as the blackness just looked wrong, some sound effects wouldn't have gone amiss either.

[Wish Star]

I guess it was alright

It was a short, sweet, kinda funny joke portrayed as a movie, nothing more nothing less, wasn't exactly good, but it definitely didn't suck. It could have been better though as the sound quality was really poor as was the acting, it was nice to see you using a voice though instead of it just being text, but doing that made having to click the buttons to get to the next bit of text pointless as you could just listen to what it was that was being said so there was no point, the buttons with the text are only used if there's not going to be enough time for the viewer to read all thats being said, as your using voices, you can just listen to it and understand it perfectly.

[Limp Cookie News]

Erm right?

It was just a couple of pictures and you talking about how some Limp Cookie remix sucks dick, it was just completely pointless and wasn't funny at all, the sound quality should have been better and so could the acting. I really didn't see any point whatsoever to this movie, it was just a pointless message, you could ahve used the forums or something.

[Steve-o in Pop culture]

Well that was random

A guy drives in his car, it gets run over by a clown in a moster truck, the guy goes flying through the air and lands in a burger bar.

Then he started speaking to some woman and it seemed alright when they had the love in their eyes and I thought some weird romantic thing was going to happen, which would have been a nice idea, but she just licked him, then he got covered in spots, which just ruined it, it was a bit over the top when his head turned into a giant spot and she popped him, I really don't think you should have gone that far.

You needed to improve the sound as well, as it was really hard to make what was being said, it wasn't just the woman, because you weren't supposed to understand what she was saying, it was the guy as well.

[Cliff Dive]

Oh is that it?

A man jumped off a cliff and got killed by cutting his body open on the rocks on the way down, it was about 3 seconds long, there should have been something else happening it was just completely pointless. You needed a point, better sound, better graphics and a funnier joke.
