Reviews for TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody

[blinkinmark]

Most original movie I've seen in months!

Mostly I'd give a 10 in my big cheerism. But this time I'd like to be more objective.

Graphics: They were ok. Pretty good actually but the characters moved a bit like puppets IMHO. The semi-anime style isn't my style anyway. (wannabe's please leave the hall, I want anime or no anime at all! ;)
Still you got my 7 since everything worked out pretty good. ^^

Sound: Actually is sound like crap. I dunno who were singing but it sounded like they had a nasty troath problems. The song text was Bad with a capital B. But somehow the whole thing was very funny and I laughed the heck out of me.

Interactivity: It has a play and replay button so that makes a 2 for me. No offence, this is just a dumb category. Newgrouds please remove it!

Style: I don't know which metal hospital you escaped from but sombody who'se brain created a AYB/Queen remix actually deserves a 20 but since newgrounds only go to 10 I have to life with it.

Violence: Another dumb one. A 1 since the game has explosions. Again, please remove this rating.

Humor: I didn't crap in my pants. But still one of the funnier movies. Great concept! An 8

Overal: An 8, it's a nice avarage if I don't count violence and interactivity since they both make no sense. I have to say the movie wasn't very good. But I can honestly say this is one of the most original flash movies I'd ever seen.
All I can say is keep on the good work. I liked this movie very much. ^^

PS: For a the people who are pissed because he raped a great Queen song. (like some lock did with hotel california) Grow up. Songs arn't holy.

Cheers! I loathe low-budget anime too, which is what Zero Wing essentially was.
I hafta disagree with you on the singing though, although I appreciate how tempting it is to pretend to be Simon Cowel these days, so I won't hold it against you. I'll admit that my singing sucked (it's painful for me to hear it, hehehe) but please don't dis the other guys, they're all high-quality singers, and at least one of them's professional now. They stumbled over the ungainly lyrics with no rehearsal, and I told them to sacrifice musical quality for character. After all, no amount of musical perfection can make up for boring lyrics, but putting extra character and meaning into the words would be better.
As for the instrumentals, I won't patronise you here - I think you know why I chose the MIDI over the karaoke version of BR. ;)

Thanks for the long review!

Woot!

Great work, very nice flash.

Queen rules and you used Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody in a good way. So that means you rule too!
To bad the quality of the music wasn't so great, but hell. I'm not going to give you less points for that.

Full score!

Wow!

It's my birthday in 3 days and this feels like an early birthday present.

Pretty Good

Good stuff, good stuff, very funny. The only thing I don't like about it -- the pitch on a guitar gets higher as you get higher on the strings, so that part kind of didn't make sense. Other than that, awesome.

Oh my god!!

That was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen to date! Holy crap! You took the one song I hate more than any other and actually made me enjoy it! Best AYB EVER!!!!

You know what you doing! Someone set them up the five!

TmsT responds:

Hahaha you hate BR? Good on you, you've got guts for saying that around here. I love it, but I will spare you this time.
