BellClock's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Everybody Loves Charles]

Didn't like it.

Your graphics are pretty basic, which is alright in some cases, but they were lacking much here, it feels like you've just upgraded from stick figures or something and were trying to achieve a higher level, you didnt achieve it tho. Put more time in your drawings. Especially if you're going to be using them constantly in the movie, like the dog.
I really dont like your style, but at least it got the point across which gets you some points I guess.
The timing was alright, I liked the sound, and you get extra appreciation for recording your own audio.
The story was pretty weak. The characters lacked personality. You should have worked out Charles being hit better I think.
Also, why the fuck does Charles go to doggy heaven before dying? Am I missing something here?
The way you presented your movie wasnt very good either I think.
But hey, keep trying, maybe work longer on your flashes. You'll be alright.

Frax responds:

I'l work on that in next movies.
Thnx for the helpful review !

[Happy Birthday Zekey!]

nope.

The sound is your biggest problem, yes indeed. I had to play it again to hear the overused and shitty joke. The poorness of your voices wouldnt have been such a problem if there wasnt such a big contrast with the other sounds. I had to turn the sound way up to hear it and then my speaker almost exploded.
Sucks.
What makes me even angrier is that the review average is still pretty decent, I dont remember the NG audience being so mellow on me when I first submitted my shit here (which, in retrospect, helped, aim to improve n all).
I saw your Clock Day movie aswell, and I didnt like it that much either, but at least that shows small signs of hope. Hang in there, maybe notify me when you get something new and better up.

MetalDart responds:

Well, thanks for being honest at least. Instead of just giving it a low score, I'm glad that you were brutally honest.
The whole Flash was made in a day. The voices, the characters, etc. I guess I was too anxoius to release it, and didn't work as hard as I wanted to.
I know the sound was bad, and I know the joke was overused. I just wanted to make something that I could enjoy and hopefully make others laugh as well.
As for the average, the main score of about 1.8 (as of now), is pretty low. And the review average, is higher than expected. Mostly because of the fact that people either wanted to wish Zekey a happy birthday, know me, or thought it was alright.
Thanks for all the criticism. I have seen you around and would really like to improve with Flash. If you ever feel like helping me out, be my guest.

Thank you for being the only one who gave me this tough love and insightful review. :)

[Invader Zim: TMHSE]

I can't believe how good this was.

Really, the only thing differences between this and a "normal" episode is the smoothness of the flash format, the slightly different voice acting (not criticism, it was PERFECT voice acting, the emotions were great, the simularity was so good, you could simply tell that it was different) and the length.
I'm baffled that this is not in the top 50.

Holy hell.

cyberen responds:

Its because I wrote a bad review on the Tankmen flash and now all the Johnny Utah fanboys have me blacklisted. Just another day in the portal.

[Jerries Actoin Thiler]

Ooh boy

Generally, I can appreciate the Jerry Jackson flashes. I always felt there was some strange charm to them, despite the obvious intended crappiness, they were always surprisingly entertaining.
I've often wondered why people like these so much, and I still can't really put my finger on it. I appreciated the Super Mario Brothers one, because it was easier to understand what made it good. I'm not sure about the previous ones, because they were still entertaining.
This one however, blows. Even the willful shit style of this series seems to have lost some crisp, this particular episode wasnt funny, nor entertaining.
And yet this garbage managed to get in the daily top 5, being the worst of all the Jerry Jackson flashes, which couldnt have taken more than 2-3 days. It's called a bandwagon, I skimmed through the reviews and it's mostly mindless praising.
Are you people retarded? Do you feel clever because you "get" these flashes, you know they're bad on purpose AND TAHTS WOT MAEKS DEM FUNNY, right?
Wrong. It also doesnt help that these continue to be put on the front page, causing a dick sucking extravaganza towards the admins from the wee ones.
I always felt the soundquality of flashes gave away the true potential of the animator, everyone knows you're capable of making good stuff, why not do so?
At the risk of sounding like a hypocrit, I might even go as far as calling Jerry Jackson the new StrawberryClock, there are even standards for shit nowadays, but I still feel the love for StrawberryClock is less forced upon the NG visitor than these pieces of work.
It's just this episode in particular that pissed me off, maybe the next one will be better.. Hopefully.

[a little snack]

Wonderful

This was a great short cartoon with some kickass voice acting, not much more to add. This is what NewGrounds is all about
Good stuff!

[The Clock War: Part III]

......WOW

This is the first time in years I gave all tens like a n00b.
This movie had everything. It's it so beautiful, there's little flash I love more.
Words fail me. Holy shit.

Fifenated, tenyfied, and happy Clock Day
This movie should be higher in the ranking, much higher.

May the power of B always shine on you.

Much much <3 <3 <3

[Pulch: The Good Times]

Good

What I like in particular about your cartoons is that you always manage to create a somewhat peculiar world, where according to the rules you provide for it, everything makes sense, at least somewhat.
This one seemed a bit differen than your usual creations, I cant really put my finger on it. To be honest, in comparison, it wasnt great, but you've done worse stuff I guess. What I liked especially was the beginning, and even moreso the end, what happened intween was a bit too random and felt out of place for some reason. The ending was great because the plant dies, rather than the character managing to revive it, and the magic ends. I loved that, for the same people love Peanuts comic strips I guess; It's funny in a horrible sort of way.
The humorpoint is for Luxemburg being a character.
Good job.

[OBEY Clock Crew]

Awesome!

Awesome, my good man!

<3

Ivanovitch responds:

:) :) :)

[Strawberry Goes Camping]

I love you

So very very very much <3
One of the best CC movies out there. Very funny, wonderful animation and soundeffects, good timing and good use of music. My favorite part was how dynamically you animated ki1o.

You win <3

[Ten Commandments]

Cool

Holy shit that was funny and clever, I liked the intro especially. Seemed kind of hasty towards the end. I still love it tho. I especially like the way the beerbottle Clock was killed, in the sense that it didnt bleed but broke, that's a lot better.
Too bad you stole a joke from Bugs Bunny. =)
Overall it was still great.
Fifenated.

ToadClock responds:

I stole a joke from Bugs Bunny? O.o
