Well, first, let me put it out there that I am not a big fan of the classic dot flying accross the screen fun. I feel, that there are better ways for you as the animator to piss the living crap out of me. Now I realize that you are probably going to pull the "Oh, you've never done flash before you don't know what it is like," but I've reviewed enough to know how to keep bad stuff on newgrounds and how to promote other artists.
This my friend, is a bit annoying and I feel does not meet the standards that people expect. While I appreciate your attempt to put a story line to a dot flying across a page, I can't see a noticable story line, and I can't see much logic at all. All i could readily recognize was some strange writing that looked like "bl", a sun, and possibly buildings. I feel that if you are going to submit something to newgrounds, don't tarnish a potential clean slate, and submit your best onto here. Of course, if this was just to get feedback, I understand that and take that last comment back.
Also, work on the graphics. I know some people aren't born artists (IE, Me) but put more effort into it. I know when I actually sit down and work on a piece it actually turns into something quite remarkable. So work on the graphics, and also, I don't think I noticed any sound on this flash, other than that initial song. If you want to get some more points, i recommend atleast having a narrator in the actual flash or have someone voice the narration.
Other than that, keep up the work. You've probably learned a lot more flash than I have, and it is people like you who are going to be able to carry out the legacy. Keep working at it, and maybe you'll aspire to someone like Dim (Super Flash Bros.).
Good luck on your future animations. While it may seem that I was being overly cruel and unusual, I wish you good luck on your future projects.
2/5

Great Job with the animation. Technique is done well. My only complaints are that the hands and arms are comically out of proportion, and that the Xbox wasn't animated. Other than that, great work.

I can see some of the aspects carried over from your Starcraft movies. Great 3d animation like always, and much more refined compared to your first few Star movies.
I was however, expecting a little more in the way of color. I realize that it might have been done in black and white to give a different feel to the movie, but after seeing the Starcraft series, this is definetly a switch.
Also, there are a few things you might want to look into. Your small running scene, where your main character is running into the car to chase after the "boss" is a little sketchy. It looks like only the lower part of his arms are moving, and there is not the full extent of movement compared to a normal human running.
Also, earlier in that scene, there is a clip, where the main character knocks the man with the Assault Rifle in the back of the head after he had reloaded. Then, about four seconds later, he reloads again, after not having expended any rounds.
There is also something strange about your character rolling, that makes him look fake. You may also want to look into better explosive techniques, and fire effects after explosions. Crackling affects for audio would be nice, and so would liquid effects and animation for when he is pouring gasoline over the detroyed truck.
Over all, Great story, and I am looking to see more work from yo!

Cheers -
Style-wise, this movie is intentionally very different from the StarCraft Zantaboan Saga - the attention to detail I'm having to do for that now can suck the fun out of it for me, I love to tell the story, sure - but I don't want to spend 5 hours drawing a computer monitor that's in 20 frames for example. Obviously that's what separates the chaff from the wheat so I have to do that, but this was simply a breakaway. I stylised everything so i could use direct Swift3D exports almost all the time, it was just a bit of fun and I'm really chuffed with the pretty overwhelming support! I'll probably do both these projects in tandem now, but this one'll never have similar graphics as the Zantaboan Saga because that was never the intention :)
I'll also run it past people before I put it on NG next time so people can point out those inconsistencies before publishing! heheh. Thanks for the big handy review!

This was a pretty good flash. You might want to work on autotiming the text, so viewers don't have to click as much. I'm not a flash expert so don't ask me, but i also thought that maybe you could try and make more realistic fire and lightning effects.
It has an original plot, even though it uses characters that have been used and overkilled many times over.
THis gets my 4.

This was great man, i was wondering if this was gonna be a piece of shit, but it was amazing man. Keep animating. The first few parts were a bit weird, but after the first like 15 seconds... i was captivated. That was good animating, it might make the top few for today... who knows?
Also, i noticed that your guns were pretty realistic and commend you for that.

THe timing that you had to hit the thing was kinda hard, but other than that, it was a pretty well made game.
I liked the preloader intro thing. WEll made. Good work.
You might want to make the background change, and you know, spruce it up a bit and make it look cooler. If you need tips just search for forums on the web, it always works.

Sure it might piss off a russian, but im Korean so i don't really care, lol.
Anyway, if that person was your own creationg, i would say keep on animating. Hitler was kinda weird without eyes though.... And of course, i still can't believe you didn't know that hitler was a martian. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I gave it a three, cause it wasn't the greatest, but not the worse.
Hope you keep animating if that person was your own creation.
Author's Response:
YE all of it was my own ( well exept hitler lol) And god damn it i should have done my reserch better. Seriously who knew hitler was a alien?
