Uptown-SlimJim's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[littleFoot]

You're awesome

There's no way I can compliment you enough on you or your series...at least not without sounding like a copycat.

So let me just say that, as always, your character designs are fantastic and very imaginative. You're technical skills at flash and action scripting continue to amaze and you're subtle yet universally recognizeable humor continues to delight.

It's too bad that there were momments of slowdown even at recommended quality. I guess it's to be expected when using a still relatively new version of flash. But who's complaining? Great job. I can't wait until the next one.

[Justice League: Countdown]

Super (Yuk yuk)

Man, I've enjoyed your comic spoofs since day one and now I'm happy to see you finally taking on Infinite crisis (A series I like, but one that's not above getting lampooned)

Again, you've got a good eye for humor...especially towards us comics geeks. My one recomendation is the voices...rather than just tamper with the samples, why not just cast someone different for each character? (GL's voice shouldn't have been that deep, man)

All in all, keep up the good work.

Wogoat responds:

Yeah, that was supposed to be Hawkman's voice, but I got lazy and didn't draw him.

[Batman : The Red Hood]

Nice work

First of all, thank you for being true to the source material. Only real Batman fans know that the 89 Tim Burton movie was not the way to do Joker's origin.

All in all, I liked every bit of it, but I didn't like the voice work. Not that it was bad, but I didn't think it was very necessary. But it's too late to change that now. But it was a nice job.

[CU- Flim Flam]

E for effort

I've seen you guys do better, and I know you can do better. This wasn't bad, just not up to snuff with what I've come to expect from the College University gang

[This Side Up: Ep.1]

Work harder

The only real problem I had was with your voice work. Make sure your mics don't pick up any feedback and watch your speaking volume too. I'd recommend getting soundforge or some kind of sound program to keep a consistency.

I was about to call this a Tomorrow's nobodies knock-off but now that I thought about it, I can see you guys are eager to start something and you already know about the faults of this movie. Besides, we Canadian 'series-makers' have to stick together. Good luck guys.

ArseNick responds:

Thanks, yea we're gonna be doin' some serious work on the whole, sound thing for the next episode. And well, to be honest I absolutely love Tomorrow's Nobodies and there are a bunch of similarities I admit. They were actually somewhat of an inspiration for us when we were working on this. We all gotta start somewhere, sadly, as you can see from other ignorant reviews, some people don't understand that. Usually people who actually have submitted stuff are the ones who know what they're talking about. Thanks for the review, I like it when people get me.

[Newgrounds 10th Tribute]

Great stuff

Call it arrogant or whatever but I feel very proud to have been apart of this. Everyone did really great, and it's hard to comment on the quality of everything since we all put in something different.

Lets give ourselves a pat on the back. Happy bellated birthday, Newgrounds.

[League of Power - TEASER]

What have we learned?

Besides the names of the characters we don't know a thing about this series (Other than it's likely about young superheroes). If you have to post a teaser for a series make sure it has something to generate hype. Give us a taste of what the characters are like or the exchange in dialogue. The only thing decernable from that movie was that Snap song...and that's not something people should be excited about.

You've got the skills when it comes to artwork but making a teaser like this was a bad call.

[Transitions Episode 1]

Nice, very nice

Not only was the artstyle in your toon absolutely stunning, it also had to have been the funniest Star Wars spoof I've seen since Spaceballs.

Yes, the force is strong with this one...screw university and make more of these!

[Icons Ep 1]

Okay

That wasn't bad, nothing too special, though. If you had cut down on the length of the oppening and closing credits you could have had a longer cartoon. All in all, it was okay for a first episode, but lets have more happening than just cuts to different scenes in the next episode.

Oh, and your character models looks sweet.

TheTreeman responds:

thanx for the critique, this is an ongoing series hopefully so i want to make it as best i can for everyone..exept icekeyhunter there.
