[PALADIN episode 3]

Definitly the best in the series that was briliant

Finally you explained everything I wanted to know about this series with this amazing flash movie, you moved away from the overdone storyline this originally started with and just came up with a completely excellent one, this was brilliant and definitely goes straight into my top 10. The reason thsi was so great was due to the fact that you just explained the whole story to Paladin as before everything was just left out, you also used a great scene where Auron went down and then he had a vision of the God of Strength and then he finally became a Paladin, okay that kind of things overdone, but who cares, it was still excellent and you did it superbly. The only problem with this was the sound, at times it was very crackly(not sure if that's the right word), such as when Auron was in the great hall with the God of Strength and when the giant zombie was running, that was the only letdown to this whole movie, and it didn't effect the story at all, I'm really looking forward to the next one, I hope it will top this, I seriously doubt that it will, but there's always the possibility. Anyway, well done, excellent job, keep up the excellent work.

[PALADIN episode 2]

Needed more to it.

Nothing really happened it was just a short fight scene, a light beam shone down on the guy, all the zombies around him died then a big zombie showed up and that was it, you needed to add more to it as to be honest it was pretty boring due to the lack of events, it was basically just a fight scene and even that was too short. You should have made the fight scene longer and had some story in it. Again you chose the wrong song for the movie and it didn't really fit in with it too well, although this time you managed to keep it in time with the action, so you improved on that aspect. I'm still wanting to know why the guy's appearance changed when he picked up the sword as it still hasn't been explained, hopefully I'll find out in the next one. I'm disappointed with this, the last one had me expecting this to be a massive fight scene with a lot of story in it and a lot of explanation about stuff, hopefully that's what the next one will be.

[PALADIN episode 1]

Nothing original, but good nonetheless.

While it was nothing original and everything that happened was just the same old story that I've seen millions of times before it was still a good flash movie. I liked the start where you had the zombie coming over the hill and then it turned out to be a horde of them, it was nicely but then it just got boring and there wasn't really anything interesting going on, what was happening wasn't poor, it was alright, it just wasn't really anything exciting. then you brought in Drowning Pool's Bodies, which was a bad choice of song as it didn't really fit in with the action and it didn't even go in time with it. It didn't get interesting until the old man started teaching the child and from then on it was good. I liked how you had the kid aging bit by bit until eventually he became an adult and I especially liked the part where he moved the sword so it went past his face and then you saw him age. When the guy grabbed the sword his face completely changed, I have no idea why that was and I feel perhaps it would have been better if he'd just stayed looking the same, but I guess the reason why he did change will be revealed in the story later on in this series and you left it in a place where I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what happens next. It's always nice to have a play/pause/stop etc. bar included but you missed out fast forward and rewind, you should be able to drag it to a certain part that you want to watch rather than just having it so you can only watch it scene by scene. Anyway well done, good job, keep up the good work.

Definitely the series best, I liked this one.

This one was so much better than the last two, it was funny just like the first but funnier and this time I actually liked it, mainly due to the fact that you had stuff going on and you had some funny jokes in it. The song in this one was definitely the least catchy of the three though and at times it did sound a bit weird. I see you decided to put the lyrics in, I said you should have put them in when I reviewed the second one a minute ago, now I come and watch this and I see that lyrics are an option to have so no complaints, but maybe you should have the option of having it in a sing-along style, you know where something bounces above each word as its being said, it might make it that bit more enjoyable. Anyway, well done, good job, keep up the good work.

Better than the first but not funny it was alright

This one was alright, definitely better than the first despite this one not being funny as it's main joke was just a pigeon shitting, which is overdone and just isn't funny, shit jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be. This one was better than the first as there seemed to be something more to it, I really don't have a clue what it was as it just looked to be just as lacking but for some reason it seemed alright. Again it was just a loop which you should have made clearer, but fortunately this time I already knew it was going to be. The sound in this wasn't as good as it was in the first one as the lyrics were sung too fast and they were difficult to make out, I know you wrote them down in your author's comments but still that problem was there, just a thought, maybe it would be quite a nice addition to have the lyrics showing in text on the bottom of the screen, just to make it clear on what they are, it might make it more fun too. Another sound problem was that at the end you looped it back too early and it didn't quite finish saying Ragu. I'm hoping the next one will be both funny and entertaining.

Funny, but kinda boring

It was funny but it was kinda boring as nothing was really happening in it, I can see why people like it, but I just didn't as there just wasn't much to it at all and there wasn't anything going on that was really that interesting. You should have made it clearer that it was just a constant loop as well as I just sat there for a while watching it for a few times, noticing that it was the same but was still expecting there to be an end. It was a catchy song and it was funny, but it was just boring due to the lack of action, maybr you should have given the song an ending at some point and on each loop of the lyrics had something different happening as it just would have been more entertaining had there been more variety to it.

[Megaman Zero- The Last Cataclysm 2]

Amazing, the best damn movie I've seen for ages

That was just amazing, perfection in fact, I thought I had an unbeatable top 5 but this goes straight in at 4th, so well done, for managing to break that, this seriously deserved it.

I loved this, you got it spot on, I wanted story and that's exactly what I got, the story you used was just excellent and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, you ended it so damn well too and now I can't wait for the third part, I'm just really looking forward to it. Once again this was just like one of them anime programmes, you knew exactly what you were doing, you had a great storyline and you just did everything perfectly it was excellent, I'm certain that you could make a damn great T.V. programme as it's clear that you have the ability. Again I found some parts of this funny, and again I'm not sure whether that's what you intended or not.

I mean it when I say this, I have never seen such a great movie that uses this style, this definitely has to be one of the best thigns I've ever seen, I don't just mean on Newgrounds, I mean everywhere. Anyway well done, excellent job, keep up the excellent work.

I hope to see another damn great movie by you soon, as you're so damn close to making it onto my favourite authors list, I just need to see one more great movie of yours and you're on their without a shadow of a doubt.

[Megaman Zero- The Last Cataclysm]

Good, was just like an anime programme

I liked it but perhaps it would have been nice to see a bit more story in it, you had enough to keep the people who prefer action over story but still want to see a bit of story happy, but I prefer flash movies like this to be jam-packed with story with the fighting only to add to the story. You did have a fair bit of story but it was just at the beginning and the end the middle was just all fighting, it was nice fighting, one of the best sprite fight sequences I've ever seen, but still it would have been nice to have a bit of story placed somewhere in the middle as well. I enjoyed the end scene, despite how overdone that is, it was still good and it did create the sense of mystery and it was intriguing like you planned it to be. The whole movie seemed to be just like one of them anime programmes and at times it was very stereotypical and overdone, but it still managed to be good. The sound in general was pretty much perfect apart from one point where one of the lines seemed to eb of a slightly poor quality. I enjoyed the 1st extra, it was a very nice scene and it added a bit of story to the movie, which was nice to see, I would say that you should have added that scene into the movie but it actually wouldn't work as it would be revealing too much about what was about to take place. this movie also made me laugh a couple of times, I'm not sure why, it just did, I'm not sure whether you actually intended to include any funny parts in it or not. Sorry about the 0 for graphics, I always give that to sprite movies. Anyway, well done, good job, keep up the good work.

I'm going to go and watch the 2nd one now, hopefully that will have the story that I crave, it looks like it's going to be essential for that one to have it, as I can't see a sequel to this working without it, but it might, I guess I'll find out in a minute.

[Interaction of Shapes]

Good for what it was

For what it was it was good, but it was obviously kind of boring as it was basically just shapes moving and changing colour. You did have some nice parts in it though, such as the Pong part and the baseball part, them bits seemed alright, it was just the rest of it, shapes moving about and changing colour just don't do it for me. A nice effort though and definitely good for what it was, if only the rest of these types of movie would live up to the standard of this one. This has to be oneof the best movies I've ever given a 1 to, if not, the best, I was so damn close to giving it a 2.
