this was actually quite funny

i wasn't sure how to rate this. it was funny and well voice-acted. but i really couldnt NOT take points off for having non of your own animation in it. that's kinda what newgrounds is all about. but don't get me wrong, you did a great job at what you were trying to accomplish. nice work.

a drew a lot of conclusions from this movie

the first was that you recorded this at 3 AM, and didnt want to wake up your parents. the whispering, "aaaaaaagh..." as he fell off the building or down the trap door, for example. i realize voice acting wasnt part of the contest, but it detracts greatly from the movie.

the second was that you made this in one day. there is very little animation. when he walks, he just kinda slides across the side-walk. and the repeating of the big spikey walls was just lazy.

the third was that you probably didn't want anyone like me to review this with as much scrutiny as i did. you obviously weren't going for a Tank Award- Winning movie. but, by submitting it to the portal, im the kind of bullshit reviewer you gotta deal with.

feel free to completely ignore me. i know i would

Bookinator responds:

thanks but as you probably can tell i don't see any of my movies getting on the front page any time soon and i make flashes the best that i can. I made the guys voice monotone purposely but if you had rather heard me yell at the top of my lungs as he fell i could have done that but would have probably got another review from someone like you saying that the scream was too loud so yea... thanks but no thanks

awesome

you are an excellent story teller. i cannot wait to see what happens next. i only wish i didnt have to wait as long as i expect i have to wait :-(

RedMongoose responds:

no way I need to get this story out of my head its been drivin me crazy

i hate anyone that doesn't love this

it has everything an awesome flash could have. me gusta.

lol, this is a very funny series

thanks for making me laugh. i want to see A LOT more jim cartoons.

ehem...

that was a great twisted version of the actual joke. not the original aristocrats joke at all, but that one's awesome too. the problem is... you didn't write it, all you did was animate it. and the animation wasn't really superb. i liked this a lot, because of the telling of the joke, but c'mon... how can you get credit for that part?

that's samurai jack alright

as soon as the spartan started killing the robot bugs, and you did that shot from the 3 perspectives, i immediately thought to myself, "this is samurai jack... with a spartan.".... then i saw Aku.... or Aku's brother or something.... and i thought to myself, "....oh.... this is samurai jack... with a spartan... and without originality of any kind."

look, it's one thing to borrow the look and style of the show. i love the show, and it has a fantastic art style. but as soon as you start copying the action shots, ideas and enemies (don't try to argue, that guy was fuckin' Aku) it unfortunately does come off more as a rip-off than a tribute.

don't get me wrong, it was not a bad flash. clearly a lot of work was put into it, and you did a very successful job mimicking the samurai jack art style. but unfortunately, you didnt achieve what i think you were trying to, in that it very much seems like a rip-off.

there wasn't enough story here for anyone to distinguish it from samurai jack. perhaps in the coming episodes we will see if it has a completely different story. but as of right now, this was a lot of work put into copying samurai jack with a different main character.

i suggest you make the story COMPLETELY different from samurai jacks for episode 2, or else people will see it as nothing but a rip off. fortunately, you have 12 more episodes to show your own creativity and ideas. good luck

i was actually a little disappointed :-(

i laughed pretty hard at sonic shorts volume 1 and 2. but i didnt even crack a smile at this one. the one thing i thought was a little humorous was the end where Eggman is dancing like a chip n dale's dancer. and i didn't notice that any of the animations ever really wowed me. i'm not saying it was bad, i just think it didn't live up to the other sonic shorts volumes at all.

I plan on animating stuff the rest of my life... sure hope I don't get my hands cut off.... that'd be rough
