A pretty entertaining Lock Legion movie. You've definitely got some graphical talent in this movie. There was shading in every character, and you animated the lock faces all of the time and changed their shapes, which was cool. The jokes and storyline in this were rather humorous as well. "you gook" made me laugh first, and then the prank that commie played was funny, and Water's reaction to that was kind of funny.

You focused a lot on the characters, and you didn't do much with the background or anything else. The movie looks a little barren to me. You could add some more to the backgrounds and also some camera movement would make this more interesting.

CourgetteClock responds:

Again, this movie was made just 1 day after Stranded so I didn't own a Cam-fla. And yes I did made sloppy backgrounds for this.

Thanks for the comments, you are luckely one of the fellas that actualy put's thought in reviews.

[Bill Murry The General!]

^^Good Points^^
When this first started playing I was pleasantly surprised to hear that song "General" by Dispatch. Has to be one of my favorite songs in my life. You actually started out making a pretty good movie out of this. The Bill Murray general looked pretty funny, and the animations were true to the storyline.

However, I was then quite disappointed when I saw that the end was a so early, though I was expecting no less. I guess that next scene was kind of humorous, mainly because of the alien Bill Murray you drew.

Sensu-clock responds:

Thanks. Im finishing the rest of it now, this was just so it would be in time for Murry week. The General is one of my favorite songs also.

[Random Encounter]

I like the graphics in this movie. The drawings were good; pretty detailed and well-shaped. Also, the spell drawings and the effect drawings were good as well. I liked how you had the camera follow the ice balls and whatever, and moving from character to character was a good idea. The ending was funny as well with the guy doing the happy dance with that bug still on his face.

^^Needs Improving^^
First thing I noticed was the lack of sounds. You had a music loop in there, which I didn't really like, seeing how it was looped very poorly. Other than that there were no sound effects, and for a RPG style battle scene, you definitely could have added some sound effects. This felt like one of those random encounters that just makes you turn off the PS2 and say screw it.

[My First Snowman]

The drawings were half decent. Not bad drawings for people, they are rather hard to draw. Some good detail in the drawings too.

Really a boring movie. The storyline was rather lame and uninspired, it seems. The animations were rather crude. Shape tweens look really bad in most situations, especially when they are on a large object like the snowman. Ending was kind of lame. An unclear message, and overall just a very uncreative storyline.

It's nice to see how much you are progressing here in Flash from your earlier movies. Your graphics are much better. Great drawings with lots of details in this movie. The voice acting was very good as you credited Leek for. Clear voice acting and pretty powerful stuff. Did you come up with the rhymes yourself? They were very clever!

^^Needs Improving^^
I think you could have done a little better with the violence. The song led to a lot of detail, but your animations and drawings weren't as such.

[4 Days Later]

^^Good Points^^
A pretty good movie from the CC for Clockmas. I actually haven't seen too many Clockmas movies this year, so it's good to see a new one. The graphics were pretty good. You had some good effects, like the close in of miracle's face when he was laughing. The storyline was pretty funny, not a bad job on that.

^^Needs Improving^^
You made the text pretty small. Lots of people have trouble hearing Speakonia, and your subtitles were just as hard to read. This could have been a little longer too.

I NEED NOT IMPROVE ANYTHING FOOL

[Exploding Fungus 2 silent]

^^Good Points^^
This was much improved over the first episode, that is for sure. The storyline in this episode actually made some sense, and I could follow what was happening. I was even kind of amused by the storyline, which turned out to be pretty unique and fun to watch. My favorite scene had to be when the bacteria started destroying the mushrooms. It's such a random event! The graphics, though kind of elementary were pretty unique, and actually looked pretty cool. Much better!

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing that really annoyed me about this movie was that you kept changing the text between clickable and not, without warning. Towards the middle, I was looking at a screen of text waiting for it to disappear, but it did not for a while. Only after a minute did I realize that I was supposed to click the text to go on. Also, this could be so enriched with a ton of sound effects. There is so much going on, so much interesting stuff!

Bezman responds:

Glad you liked the plot!

The text was indeed probably my worst design choice ever.

Thanks for the reviews!

[Exploding Fungus (silent)]

Well, this was kind of funny in its own special way. I had no idea what was going on in this movie, which was kind of amusing, and the moral of the story seemed kind of humorous as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
The graphics are pretty crude. I'm not sure how they stacked up against stuff of the time, since I wasn't into Flash at that time, but I couldn't see this being that great. Everything was really sloppily animated, which made this hard to follow. There was no sound, and surely some funky tune could have made this funnier.

Bezman responds:

You're right - it was bad even then, though worse things were passed.

It's not meant to be confusing - spraycan sprays on mushroom, which explodes. Purple mist moves about.

Maybe I'll do a remake of this one day.

[the Estranged Family ep.2]

^^Good Points^^
Another good episode of this series, and not too long after the first. Keep them coming this often please. The graphics in this were good, very good character drawings and great backgrounds too. I really liked the humor in this as well. I had to laugh at the scene where Poussin was in heat, that was pretty creative. The veterinarian was a pretty funny man as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
I really don't like the voice overs. Speakonia sounds much better in my opinion.

I thought the neatest part about this is that you were able to create a storyline as you did and develope it quite nicely without the use of any voice overs and sound effects. It's really a quite unique technique. The graphics were pretty well done. You changed the camera a lot and had lots of god animations. I liked the music too, it set a good bar mood.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like how you had to use such lame character drawings in this. I don't really buy the whole square for a head thing in this.
