AuralMuser's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda: Heart for the Hero]

Good take on an old joke

The "Link can't speak" jokes, while technically not true, and nevertheless done countless times, and they're usually pretty funny. This is no exception.

The art style is great. It's well drawn, and smooth. There is detail in the backgrounds and in the characters. Good.

The voices are clear, and the shopkeeper is able to express emotions and inflection effectively. That was you, right? Good job.

My one problem with the movie isn't a technical aspect, but a story one. I've never seen Link as violent like in the end; he always seems to be portrayed as a selfless, compassionate and humble hero. That's my interpretation of him, though, and not yours. Perhaps this is why Miyamoto has kept Link from speaking; so we all can imagine Link as we wish.

Good job, therefore, on doing what Miyamoto wants us to do.

Thanks for the review. As for Link's personality, I don't believe he'd rant and rave and scream and chop off a shopkeepers head either. But c'mon. Would the shopkeeper be reading a "Gossip Stone" magazine or be selling the Triforce either? Don't take it too seriously. This was (my attempt at) a comedy. If I wanted it to be more dramatic or action packed, I would have changed a lot of things, inculding Link's personality. I think that alot of comedy comes from setting up a situation, building up an expectation of the outcome of the situation, and then delivering something completely unexpected. You, like many fans, view the character of Link as selfless, compassionate and humble, so for a few laughs I made him out to be a short tempered, sword swinging heart stealer. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it. But I don't think Miyamoto had this kind of Link in mind.

[Megaman Zero- The Last Cataclysm 2]

Another S Rank Flash

If possible, this was even better than the first. The biggest noticeable changes between the two were Zero's and Weil's voice. Both, I think, changed for the better. While Zero's voice did lose its deep register, he gained more emotion and inflection, which I like more. Weil also has a higher pitch, and speaks quicker. The text in both Zeros 3 and 4 and his voice samples tell us that he indeed speaks like that. Excellent.

Biblio's laugh was almost spot-on. SCARY. You also remember to make Copy X stutter, just like he is supposed to. Good attention to detail. The music also rose in quality, with you drawing from the Remastered tracks for this one, and it does great.

This one had enough Naruto for me. Any more, and I may feel you're overdoing it. It adds to the creativity of the movie, but if there is more I might start seeing more justus than charge attacks and saber slashes. Make sure each character keeps what makes them unique.

Other than that, excellent. I, like near everyone else, eagerly await your conclusion.

Oh, and if possible, can Omega say his famous battle opener before he starts attacking? It would add to the detail and make me flip even more than I do watching these. I believe his Japanese translates to, "I am the Messiah!" Basically saying that he will be the one to usher in a new world. In case you didn't know. ;)
