That's the first one of those strobe Flashes that I've seen (and I've seen quite a few) that made me feel physically sick. Nice job.

DAIRYDOG responds:

Thanks. I made the lights speed up and slow down to make it extra seizurific.

Well done

OK, let's start with first impressions:
Very first impression after watching the whole thing: "I'm going to have to watch this again, to get everything out of it". That's definitely a good thing.
Very professional, and superb use of sound & music to create a dark and scary atmosphere. Some of the graphics could be better (more so at the start - the hand in particular stands out, no shading - you might want to trace a jpg if you're planning on updating this). Good storyline, and, most importantly, a lot of depth to the plot.
*watches it again*
I like the use of French, with subtitles. It automatically creates an 'arty' feel.
Nice touch with the ear-splitting noises to make the viewer jump.
Animation is varied - again, I think it improves as the movie proceeds. The whole saw/corridor thing builds suspense nicely, and the 'sunshine' bits provide excellent contrast to the dark, destructive feel of the 'book' bits. The fact that violence is implied, rather than seen, is very clever, and really adds to the suspense.
Having watched this twice, I'm still not sure I fully understand the story... =)

In conclusion: the three main things that stand out in this for me are the depth, atmosphere, and the choice of music. In terms of suggestions, I'd say spend a bit more time on the graphics in the earlier part of the movie, before the book opens.

Well done on finishing your project, congratulations on a great movie, and good luck on getting awards/FPage.

Xenosteel responds:

Yep that is one very good first impression!

I guess I should have shaded that hand, what the heck I’ll do it now! I got quite a lot of reviews saying they dislike the hand.

I myself am not sure why did I do the saw/corridor, but it just hit my head, and since its so original I thought I’d use it and see what other people see it as… I really liked what you said about the violence, great words of wisdom there :)

I think that next time I do a big movie I’ll try to hire a graphics artist, because even though I try I’m just not naturally talented at it [sigh]

Thank you for one very lovely review, it really points out things to me and gives some helpful advice, I thank you again my friend

I voted 5.
I hope that annoys you.

IsOnFire responds:

hooray!!!!1!!! i love you :)

Didgereedoo! Now there's a soundtrack you don't often hear...

I like your animation style, it reminds me of synj quite a lot. Graphics were excellent, music & FX fitted perfectly, and a thoroughly entertaining storyline.

Verdict: First-rate. Deserves 4.1+

Greedom responds:

Thanks everyone for the awesome reviews, I really apreciate the encouragement and support, it will encourage me to make more. Thanks again.

No. It was awful. Nothing happened, you slagged some people off, and drew some crappy drawings. This showed no skill, humour, or taste. Sorry, but it's the truth.

alwayss420 responds:

yea, I wasnt trying to make a masterpeice.. you shouldnt watch movies that are rated 1.96 hoping for it to be realitivly enjoyable. or even skillful..

This is just something I made for a friend to poke fun at these beasts that go to our school.. not like were goin to start a series from it.. altho I might just to piss you poor bastards off...

.

Most of those things weren't very ninja-esque. Still quite a funny little Flash, pretty good animation, OK music, not much else to say really, sorry...

El-Fjongo responds:

It's hard to come up with ideas related to ninja-skills etc.... most of them were used in the previous movie...

.

So... who's the one running the proxies, then?

TheStarSyndicate responds:

NOBODY!

Good remake

Very well directed and acted. I don't really see much point comparing it to the original; it stands on its own as one of the few good video flashes on NG. Excellent work.

The-EXP responds:

i agree...the amount of crap videos on ng...tragic...but thanks for understanding how cool this was!

Not bad at all

I can see you spent a fair wallop of time on this. Animation & art was good . Preloader screen could have been better. Sound & voices were excellent. Lipsync was Ok but mouth movement was a bit.. erm... extravagent. Good filesize, for the quantity of graphics/sound.
Definitely deserves higher than current score.

Luke-Millett responds:

thanks

.,

Heh. A half-hour well wasted. Hope it wasn't a library book...

Certainly a new (or really, an old one I suppose) slant on stick fight animation. FX were good. Only real complaint was filesize, dropping the video quality a little would have helped

Anyway, I enjoyed that, good job.

Zekiel responds:

No, not a library book - but my friends :P Well he wanted to sell it, but hey, now people will pay extra I say.
