PyroWizard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Fantasy III: Link 1]

Great! Much improved.

Compared to your first "preview", this is a vast improvement! I must say, your series is shaping up quite nicely. I throughly enjoyed watching this. :)

Glad to see the battle scenes are now more lively and animated then before... however, the spell animations could use a little more work and the background image is still annoyingly distorted. Also, work out a better way to showcase the various combatant's HPs... it's rather hard to keep track. The castle scene is still much too small to hold those rather oversized men... resizing would be a good idea.

The story is pretty interesting, though there's still many questions to be answered, but I suppose that will come later. The voice acting was good and really sets the tone and flow of the movie. One thing that puzzled me... in the end, the soldier states "Link must be warned!".. but in the beginning, Link has already been warned. What gives? Is the movie going backwards? =P

Someday, when you have become one of the most renowned sprite artists on NG, you'll back at these little gems and say "Wow, I've really improved from those days!" Kudos to you, and I'll be sure to keep a lookout for the next one in this series. ^_^

Interesting, but...

I usually enjoy watching all sorts of sprite movies, regardless of its quality. However, for some unbeknown reason, this one just didn't quite appeal to me. I was constantly compelled to X out of the window all throughout the movie, and only the promise of a well-implemented final fight sequence kept me forcefully watching. However, I was disappointed.

First and foremost, the movie is SLOOWWWW beyond all human reasoning. The entire feature was cram-packed with moments when I would sit there idly, contemplating the meaning of life while waiting for the next set of dialogue to appear. You definately need to increase the overall speed of the movie... it's almost as if it's playing in Matrix bullet-time all throughout, and I mean that in a most negative way.

The story was interesting enough, although I found it a bit odd. The fight sequences were mildly compelling, but "nothing too new or interesting". The humor in this movie seems to be well admired by many viewers, but I found it all somewhat cheesy and repetetive. Overall, the movie was just OKAY... a tad bit boring for my taste, but most people seem to like it, and I suppose that's all that matters. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a terrible movie... I just think that with a little more effort, you could improve on this by leaps and bounds.

Kudos to you! :)

"Interesting, but excruciatingly slow and boring for some. Shows some potential."

Fair review. I was going for humor with this movie. But don't worry, future movies will be much faster!
