[How To Win Portal Awards]

Hmmm...

^^Good Points^^
I really liked the introduction to this. The music was really cool, and the animations were pretty well done as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is kind of like that movie "How to write reviews", which I'm sure you remember. This really didn't shed much light on how to win awards other than the obvious, like "make it really good" is kind of a given to win the daily feature. Sorry, but this doesn't really help me too much.

Frenzy responds:

Thanks for your review, first of all!

Also, now that I think about it, I guess this would be helpful to newcomers to Newgrounds who don't really know much about the site...

Once again, thanks for reviewing, any review is appreicated!

[RSFuture 5]

A little better

^^Good Points^^
I've complained about your storylines in the past, but this one is really a lot better than your previous movies. The storyline in this one seems to be much more in line than the other movies. I liked how you gave us the option to shut off the music, however, this buttons should have stayed on through the whole movie and should have been more discreet. I thought it was funny how you explained why you didn't finish this at the end though.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really like the fight scene. The fact that you had a gray background looked pretty bad, and you should have actually animated the fight instead of what you did.

Syrsly responds:

LOL! OMG, dude... I never included a music off option. The music button explained what was playing. I found that feature rather mundane (sp?) so I didn't include it in later movies.

[RSFuture 4]

What? That's it?

^^Good Points^^
The best part about this was the close up drawing. I thought it was cool how you showed many different angles of the same guy at the same time.

^^Needs Improving^^
Again, this movie doesn't have a very good storyline at all. There is some guy with a guitar that plays, and then one character is in a store and asks what an NPC is. That's not a very good storyline at all. I thought perhaps this would have something more to do with the guy with the guitar. Another thing, less important, is that the music WAS a little annoying as the last reviewer said.

Syrsly responds:

Agreed.

[RSF: Quest for Perfection]

All over the place

^^Good Points^^
I love Runescape, started playing back during the RSC days, so I already like the fact that it's about RS. The up close drawings of your characters were done very well and look very cool. Perhaps you should try a whole movie done like that. I also liked the music choices. The music was always changing and always fit the mood.

^^Needs Improving^^
The storyline in this was kind of all over the place. Nothing really seemed to be related to anything else and every twenty seconds the storyline would change completely and then change again.

Syrsly responds:

Yeah, old movie... Watch RSDragoons.

[8]

Funny but short.

^^Good Points^^
This definitely is not a bad movie by a long shot. I'm not sure exactly what motivated the storyline, but hell I liked it. The sound effects were laughable at how horrid they sounded and the ending was just too funny not to smile at.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is just a bit too short for me. If this had been longer I would have given it a much higher score.

BruceCampbellClock responds:

ill repost this answer:

yes, this is actually just a work in progress version of this.

the full one is alittle bit longer with full color and some better animations.

[TMFO #5 (Osama)]

Could use a lot of improving

^^Good Points^^
Again, this isn't a bad idea, to show a bunch of photoshopped pictures of someone. The music is a good clip, and this is good for a quick smile or two.

^^Needs Improving^^
Basically the parts that aren't so good about this is the same as my last review. The sound clip should loop first off. It's too short and doesn't fill the time needed to view the slideshow. A few of the pictures are low quality, like the one where he is being followed in a car.

XwaynecoltX responds:

Thanks for the review

[TMFO #6 (Bedn)]

This is alright.

^^Good Points^^
This isn't a bad idea for an interactive flash slideshow. You had a bunch of funny pictures, some of the best of Bedn. I enjoyed looking back at old times by watching this.

^^Needs Improving^^
This doesn't have a great graphical design. This is very bland along the lines of coloring and shaping and just looks very unprofessional. Also, you didn't do a lot of work in this movie except for gather a bunch of pictures and made a slideshow. Also, the sound clip should loop or something, since it is way too short to play through the whole thing if you read all of the captions.

XwaynecoltX responds:

Thanks for the review.

[All Your Owls]

:s

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad idea. You put in a lot of the good pictures that were made of all those crazy owls. I found this to be kind of funny and I liked how you synced the pictures somewhat well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This got old pretty fast. You put a lot of the same pictures in over and over like when you put "O RLY" then "YA RLY" over and over again.

Paradox responds:

Rofl, thanks for the review, I couldn't really think of what to put in the Flash really.

[LL - Master's Birthday.]

Pretty good

^^Good Points^^
Birthday flash movies are usually pretty good, and this one is no different. The gift idea is funny, it made me chuckle. I liked the drawings you made and the animations as well. The voice overs mixed with speakonia is nice as well. Good job on this and happy birthday to master lock.

^^Needs Improving^^
This isn't very unique as a birthday flash. It follows the same lines of many other birthday movies that I've seen on here.

Trunks-Lock responds:

Thank you very much, and I know i'm not that unique. But i give it a new twist.

[Ah, Screw it!]

Pretty good

^^Good Points^^
I like the drawings in this flash. You drew your characters very well and shaded them nicely. The different things that went on were all pretty funny and entertaining to watch. I liked the music as well, it's a unique piece.

^^Needs Improving^^
You should definitely make some more episodes of these if you can, they are quite entertaining, and also make the text a little bigger.

Kuoke responds:

Thankyou, Thankyou, I'm gonna start of a short series, i might get back to parodies after that.
