Hamy-jamy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yatta! Yatta!]

...

Sorry i didnt quite feel anything from this flash at all, i dont really even know what you were trying to do here i mean it looked like you had your animation planned out but i really didnt know what it was you were animating and the graphics didnt help it either. I would have liked if you had alittle bit of background music for this piece as it would have given character to it. Overall i thought that there was just too much wrong with this for it to be considered unique, although you did get the animation right.

[He-Man Breaks Down!]

...

Well i watched your first episode and i just had to check out this i mean the idea is just brilliant, i thought that you went alittle more original here with your character designs they seemed to look less like what they did and more like a vision of what you wanted them to look like which i thought was really cool. I like the crash of the spaceship i mean the 3d effect was nicely added, and i think most people would under appreciate that. I thought that the ending with them sitting there on the rocks was well done too, having the multiple cuts and not having any progress shown except time was classic. Overall i would love to see you get back into these sorts of shorts, they are original and funny and in the end thats all you want out of a flash.

[He-Man Forgets His Wallet]

...

Now if there is one character that hasnt been made to poke fun at in flash enough yet it would have to be He-man i mean the guy has flash creativity written all over him and you have delievered a classic short here. I thought that the graphics for all the characters were well done and the backgrounds for the restaurant were very suiting the only problem would probably have been your animation i mean you just moved the arm as a whole in most of the scenes. Overall it really just came down to the comedy level and this rates really high, great fun to watch.

[Animator vs. Animation]

...

Well i remember seeing something done like this with sticks a couple of years ago but nothing that was done as detailed as this one has been done, i mean you have interacted with the different parts of the flash program so much, i thought that it could have even gone longer then it did it just felt like there was an endless amount of fun to be had in the environment. I thought that your animation skills proved to be great and your sound effects fitted in nicely. Overall it was quite entertaining and interesting to watch.

[How To Win Portal Awards]

...

I havent seen anyone do a tutorial based on portal awards before, very interesting reading indeed. It was nice to see the different types of advise you gave for people wanting to achieve a certain award and although your information was good what i liked most about this flash was that i had the option to either read or hear about the different awards, nice inclusion. What i thought may have needed some improvement though was probably your layout of everything, i mean the main menu was alittle plain but i did like how it was easily setout but inside the text option of each of them was either the same picture or no picture at all, i would have liked maybe the icon that goes with the award to have been placed next to the text, and having the text wrap around the image seemed alittle untidy to me also. I did like the music you had for the background, you kept it simple. Overall it was nice to hear the insights from an everyday user, and you really did make a flash that was creative and unique.

Frenzy responds:

Thanks a lot... hopefully I'll be more than an 'everyday user' one day. :D

[SS Time Trials 5]

...

Well first thing i noticed was that you guys had picked up an award for this the fifth installment so congrats on that, i also noticed that you have decided to take three months this time, i think thats the longest time to date that you guys have given yourselves so lets see what you have got here:

J00bie: Starting off the group again i see, Well i thought it was alittle shocking myself that the pope died but then again he was pretty old, and i dont know who the other guy is but it doesnt matter i get what you were going for here, and that song was just meant for such an occasion 8/10

AubergineLock: Well you guys used this song in the last TT, but i thought that the music video was alot nicer done this time around and i liked how you mixed it up into the gay bar song, this actually has to be my favourite short from you guys so far from the series. 9/10

TwoStar: Another refrence to the pope's death im guessing that this was done right around the heat of the time, i like the april fools joke here, alittle blue but i have to admit that i laughed 8/10

Mp3_Lock: Loved this song when it was used in the austin powers film and although i dont live anywhere near Toronto i kinda got the joke even though the background and the person was drawn pretty badly. 8/10

Chrome-: Wow, i thought it was a matter of time before you guys tried to ruin my ears with some over extorted song but hey it was all good, who was that guy that you were poking fun at in this flash?, i liked the background those shades of blue were quite nice. 7/10

[SS Time Trials 4]

...

Well we come to the forth installment of this series, so far i have been pretty impressed with the regular members of the SSTT's, im hoping that one outside the three regulars stepup:

J00bie: I that that you did this well, i liked the black and white background and the use of the little Foamy dude made this quite enjoyable although i couldnt understand what was said 8/10

SmellyPeturson: Well you had the two stars battling it out to the death and i thought that although there wasnt much animation besides the swords moving it came of as funny and violent so good work 8/10

TwoStar: Very cute lightly done flash short, i liked that song you used in the background and i also liked the background itself although it wasnt detailed, it didnt have to be, the little man mowing the lawn just finished the scene off for me. 8/10

Mr. Fluffykins: Well im guessing that this was a shot from above a stickman and then you moved it down so we could see the stickman front on, i thought it was alittle dry without any music to wash it down and the graphics didnt help, only good thing would have to be your animating 5/10

Chrome-: Wow talk about a disturbing flash short, well i thought that you picked the right song for such a scene and the drawing of the hand may have looked crude to some, actually looked quite artistic to me, good job. 8/10

[SS Time Trials 3]

...

Well this was the first of the series to actually have a cool menu and opening i mean that michael jackson song suited the feel really well;

JetNinjin: Big step up in the quailty of your submission this time around, i thought that the character designs were cool and the different backgrounds and pacman reference made this enjoyable 9/10

TwoStar: Well it was all about the variants of the Colgate toothpaste in this short, although i thought the first little skiing scene was pretty sweet it didnt last very long and you switched to the toothpaste too quickly and just held that shot. 7/10

Chrome-: Well this was so crazy i mean the pictures and words were moving so fast that i didnt even have time to even make sense of either of them, i thought that the music selection was also well chosen but what made this had to be that fading into white effect you had going on. 8/10

J00bie: Darn, i knew it was just a matter of time before one of these were used as a short, i was so looking forward to the use of the batman opening too, oh well if i wanted anyone to do it it would have been J00b so in the end i guess it was funny, but dont deny me a batman short again please. 7/10

SmellyPeturson: Just as i was talking about the ruined batman opening you nearly delievered a full version in this one, i thought that the graphics were alittle dull but the animation was smooth and you did use more then a second of batman opening so good work with this 8/10
