"Comic Genius"

submission: "24 seconds" episode 2

date: March 19, 2006

I rated the first one a 4/5 but this is brilliant. Brillianter than the first one at least; this is a 5/5. The pause after the question and subsequent cut to credits almost made me laugh out loud. Keep 'em coming.

Score: 9

"Excellence per Minute: High"

submission: Shortest Spidey flash evr

date: March 18, 2006

This was short, which is a slight detraction, but I really like the concept: Spider-Man seen not from his perspective, but from that of an ordinary, non-Peter Parker citizen. It drags on a little too much at the end. Of course, I would've had the music fade in and out as Spidey came and went, complete with Doppler effect... but that's just me. Very good movie.

Score: 8

"Quality Movie"

submission: Mario Wars

date: March 18, 2006

I have to say that some of the sprites are extremely ugly and painful due to their ultra-zoomedness. Classic games had cool graphics (those of us old enough will understand) but zooming in on them that much just butchers them. On the bright side, that's my only major complaint against the movie. It has a cool style and the battle scenes are surprisingly well done. I didn't quite understand why the flagpole disappeared. It seemed intentional, because a sound effect played at the same time as the disappearance. Anyway, the sound is pretty good but not quite great. Even though it was a war movie, I found it funny, as any decent movie with old school sprites has to be funny (again, those of us old enough...). It seemed a bit slow in some parts such as certain conversations, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience. I had to give it a 1 for interactivity because there was a play button after the NG loader play button. That's twice the interactivity, for those who are mathmatically challenged.
