dammit.

Once again, the same exact flash. A background. a squirrel bitching about some random topic, and nothing else. And once again, it has a score above 3.50

I was hoping to see more from you this time, since in the last one you did you actually decided to do some more work by actually animating the people that were sitting at the table. No such luck for this one however. Still just a pre-drawn squirrel motion tweening around the screen.

At least the sound is still good. That's basically the one thing I find redeeming in all of your flashes. Your sound is never muffled, never gritty, and the effects you use to make Foamies voice are decent. Too bad that's the only thing good about your flashes.

Before all you cult followers bitch about me giving this movie a 6, try this. Turn off the sound, and see how entertaining this flash is. Chances are you're not going to find anything terribly interesting. Just a squirrel shaking his arms around. This shows that illwillpress doesn't actually take much time to make his flash animations. Real work is usually put into the graphics of a flash, and since he doesn't work hard on that, he doesn't deserve a high score.

You have 47 portal awards. You do not deserve 47 portal awards. You should have about 3 at most, and those should be somewhere around 3rd place daily. Unfortunately, you have a cult following that will vote 5 on all your movies regardless of the content or effort. Not to mention that they have some of the worst reviews imaginable. "LOL FOAMY IS MY LORD AND MASTER!!!11!" Brilliant. Howeve, as I read over the reviews for this particular movie of yours, I see that your average review score is less than a 7, which shows that maybe some people are realising that your movies aren't that great. Too bad most of them are still idiots giving you zeroes. Your movies aren't great, but they don't deserve zeroes.

I'm still waiting to see some improvement on your part. The last one had decent animation, and this one does not. It's as simple as that. Sound is the only thing keeping your movies alive, and nothing more. Humor wise, it's decent. Still not terribly funny though. But at least it brings hits to the site with all the level 1 users that pour in to say how great you are at everything, then proceed to buy your 100 dollar DVDs on Ebay.com. Do you really think tat it's reasonable to sell a DVD of crap for 100 dollars? I think not.

I vote 3 anyway. I hope that you attempt to improve on your movies, even though it appears that you have no intent of doing so, but you don't actually read reviews, so you won't take advice from people who offer tips.

Brilliant.

I saw this movie, and loved every aspect of it, and added it to my favorites list.

I like the way you look at the delightful flah program. You see it as something to express yourself with, and make wonderful movies with. I looked at my trial version and thought "crap."

In other words, I have no flash skill at all. You, on the other hand, have far more then just about any artist I have seen on NG. The graphics in this were just brilliant. It had a wonderful frame rate, everything was drawn skillfully, and with great detail, and the movement stayed fluent throughout the entire flash. I especially liked the fat yellow creature, which i swear I have seen somewhere before. I just can't remember where.

The sound was also great. The music did a terrific job of capturing the fairy tale-like mood you were going for. Not to mention that every sound effect was on cue. Just hearing the strange sound that occurs whenever the yellow thing meanders along, with the greatest movement ever.

I'm glad to see that this has a very high score. It's at 4.37 right now,and I feel it deserves no less. I might even go so far as to say this is good enough to reach the #1 spot on the top 50 of all times list. Even if it doesn't have any awards (so far) at least you get front page recognition for this magnificent flash.

I really hope that you continue animating. You are brilliant, and should keep up at your natural talent. Not very many people have a talent with flash, but every once in awhile something like this comes along and puts rather a lot of the so called "top animators," like Legendary Frog to shame. Too bad you don't have a cult following like him.

*votes 5*

More Matrix!

I think it would be rather pointless to give an overall score for this flash, since there were so many different ones in it, so I will write a breif review for each one.

There Is No Spoon - 8/10

I liked this one. I always thought that it was good how you draw your characters with giant eyes. The graphics in this one were good as always, and the voice acting was well done. I always marvel at the people who take the quote "ther is no spoon" seriously, and am glad to see that you're not one of them.

Chateau - 10/10

Probably my favorite of all the flashes in the collection. The graphics were the best of all the movies, and it even had a cameo appearance from Astaroth, who runs of crying when he gets flicked in the face by Neo. Didn't see that one coming.

Zion Rave - 9/10

This one was interesting. Starts out as Morpheus ranting about nothing like he always done, then moves on to a bunch of random sprites dancing around, including the dancing banana.

Then you decide to move on to somehting completely different, which would be you wandering around, while doing random things that sort of have something to do with the Matrix.

Burly Brawl - 10/10

My second favorite one. Great graphics, just like Chateau, and great sound just like everything else. I especially like the part where he goes to pull the pipe out of the ground, despite there being a barrel of pipes right next to him.

The Architect - 8/10

I didn't really like this one as much as the others. The graphics and sound were good, but I didn't really find it that funny. Maybe it's just me, but seeing Neo stand there and pull the string on a doll for awhile isn't really that appealing to me.

Final Fight - 10/10

3rd best graphics out of all of them, and probably the funniest. I don't think I understood it too well, seeing as I haven't actually seen The Matrix: Revolutions, but I assume that there were a bunch of Smiths standing around doing nothing, and that you decided to make fun of it. I enjoyed it anyway though.

Now you get to sit there and wait to see how many portal awards you rack up, and how many assclowns spam it with reviews advertising their sites when it arrives on the front page. You also get to see it rise up into high ranks in the top 50, along with all your other flashes.

You are all the winners.

</really long review>

Wow. This was amazing. And I mean amazing. This is definetely one of the best flashes I have EVER seen on NG. I'm talking favorite submissions good.

So you actually made 3000 different sprites yourself to make this? Now that's what I call commitment. This must have taken you forever, and I think that it deserves a lot more than just a daily feature. Somewhere around the amount of awards each Xombie installment has.

Probably one of the longest movies I have ever seen. Not longer then the Demented Cartoon Movie, but that doesn't really count. I was expecting it to be cut off part way through, but it never happened. It actually kept going until that entire part of the Matrix was done, with a bit thrown on at the end as well.

The graphics are great. The animation wasn't chunky at all, everything moved fluently throughout the entire thing, even at the end when every one of those Luigis were flying into the air. Somehow you still managed to keep everything going at the same rate that it was before. I especially like the whole Matrix kick part where you decided to change them into the character models from Super Smash Brothers.

The sound was also great. It never sounded crappy at any parts, never sputtered or sounded muffled, and that was probably hard to get into this flash without sending it over the file size limit. Not to mention that every sound effect in the entire move was well placed, never off cue, exept in my movie becuase my computer is slow, but I can just pause it and start it again.

Let me say that I don't usually enjoy Matrix spoofs very much. I fell that they are pretty overdone, and most of them turn out to be pretty shoddy work with very little effort put into them at all. For this one however, I will make an exeption, and rank it in my book as the best damn Matrix flash movie ever made. It even has cameo appearances from Sonic, Link, and Samus!

Now I vote 5, and everyone else should too. Not 4 dammit. 5. It deserves no less, and should be ranked high up in the top 50 of all time.

Ugh.....end review.

....

Wow.

By "upgraded lightsaber" you mean "cricket bat that happens to be glowing white." So you stand there and mindlessly swing around at nothing, while everyone sits and waits for you to break something, only to be sadly disappointed when you just jump offscreen and it ends.

Not to mention the music playing in the background that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. The least you could do is play some Star Wars music, instead of some 80's pop song.

I still gave you a 4 on graphics, simply becuase you didn't just draw a white line over your bat. You actually used a decent effect, and I'll give you credit for that. However, that isn't nearly enough to bring your score up much, since the entire thing is still a guy swinging a bat around at nothing, with vastly inappropriate music playing in the background.

You have earned your turd of the week award.

Brilliant!

This one is going on my favorites list for sure.

I can definetely see why this is currentl ranked #5 of all time here on NG. Take a wonderful theme of a goat being god, killing a random army of medieval soldiers that somehow managed to get a tank ast their disposal, then have a goat throw a mountain on them.

The graphics in this were brilliant. A great frame rate, with a bunch of special effects thrown in that make my pentium 2 processor struggle to process the graphics even when I have it on low quality. Everything was well drawn, the ground moving by as the goat was running looked great. Probably one of the best animated flashes I have ever seen.

The sound was great too. No sounds put in off cue, the music wasn't too loud, yet still managed to portray the mood you were going for. Another wonderful aspect of this flash.

Now I get to sit here and wait for you to release the 3rd part of your series, in which I suspect that the goat will be fighting the shadowy looking llama that was standing there at the end. Definetely looking forward to the next installment.

Now I will vote 5, then save the flash to my computer, so I can watch it whenever I want.

</ranting>

OH DEAR GOD!!!!

How in the hell did this manage to pass submission?

Within the first 5 seconds of watching this I started to feel sorry for you, since you had to go and embarrass yourself so much by submitting this worthless excuse for a flash.

With your horribly done voices screaming

"Daagon bawl enn! HAahahaHAhaaha! Dwagen bawl EENN!!"

And wonderful job drawing orange circles on the characters eyes, to make them look even worse than they already were. And after I suffered severe cranial trauma from watching the opening screen, I got to sit there and watch DBZ characters, still with the white boxes around the from when you copied the image from whatever site you stole them from, motion tween across a horribly drawn background, as they muttered something completely undecipherable to eachother.

At that point I decided to close th window. I simply could not tolerate watching it anymore. You in all ways, fail.

Oh.....I see.

So you got lazy and decided to just end the episode for no apparent reason. Although I must say that I probably would have closed it anyway, due to his intolerable rapping. You aalso have a talent for drawing Ed Edd, and Eddy.

I noticed that you decided to change the opening theme song a bit. Sounds more like you just ran it through some audio program with some new effects to make it sound technological or something, and is still good.

Th graphics are fluent as always, somehow you manage to make well drawn and animated cartoons at a rapid pace, cranking out about 2 every day. Then you usually get some sort of award for at least one of them, like daily feature for this one. I would say that you should spend some more time on them, then you might be able to make something REALLY good, instead of just another episode that is relatively the same as all the other ones you made, not to mention that it wouldn't just stop for no apparent reason.

Yet still, your movies are always well made, have freat graphics, good sound, but you might want to make the voices a bit louder, especially on that other one with the devil, where you couldn't even understand what he was saying.

Well, it still deserves no less than a 3. I give it a 4 though.

Yet again!

I still fail to see why you felt the need to remake a movie that everyone already liked. But at least you added some things in that weren't in the previous movie, such as the bit at the beginning, and my favorite line in the entire movie, "By the time you figure out what was wrong with that, it won't matter anymore!"

You also seem to have stirred up a bunch of people who blindly assume that your movies automatically vote 5 on themselves, and vote down other movies as well. This is nothing but a mere assumption, brought on by the other animators that feel jealous that your movies are ranked high up in the top 50 list.

I would say you did a better job on the resubmission of this movie. The extra scenes were nice, you perked up the graphics quite a bit, and made the voices a lot better than they origionally were. I thought that Waynes voice sounded a tad too much like Yoda in the origional film.

So are you planning to go the way of George Lucas and re-release any of your other movies that everyone already liked, while adding pointless things in like explosion rings, and banthas strolling around in the background for no apparent reason? I would say just stick with the way things were, that's what everyone likes anyway.

Overall, great flash, better graphics than last time, better sound, good bonus features, worthy of no less than at least a 4.

A word of advice

For the previous user. Don't bother insulting people just becuase they haven't made any movies. Insult him becuase he's level 3, has 2 BBS posts, is ranked as a civilian, and has a normal whistle level.

As for the flash, nobody really wants to see someone on their webcam doing poorly made Cody Banks skits, meanwhile having to turn up their volume all the way just to hear something. The least you could have done would be modify the sound a bit so that it is about 5 times louder.

I can't comment on the graphics, since you didn't draw anything.

I would say just to stick to your way of animating things, like in your other movies. I can say that I enjoyed them far more than this.

The spectrum always seems to shift back to the left. What a terrible stroke of bad luck, and things were just starting to go right.
