Just wanted to say - yeah. As a flash author (though not recently - too busy drawing and painting to animate or code) I do prefer longer reviews. Though it's not so much the length I care about as it is getting down to specifics.
For the record, I'm always really glad to get reviewed by AfroStud as he lays it on the line and tells it all like it is. I rate him highly as a reviewer.
Imo, the ideal review should give an overall indication of the movie, suggest at least one point that could be improved/the weakest point (to help the author improve) and point out at least one nice thing (so the author doesn't start feeling it's all bad). Personally though, I'd much rather get a 3 line review pointing out a couple of bad points than a massive one raving on about it. Generally speaking.
Now, for the next 4 minutes, I shall review some reviews.

That was very cool, great music, and i just love the backround effects like the stars, and they they didnt just blink fast or anything they acted like real stars inwhich gave the music video a real nice feel to it, great music aswell...
MOVIE COMMENTARY: A great music video with cool effects...

nice review. You mentioned a specific point, which shows me that you aren't just talking shit and actually put some thought into your words. I never understood your ((( )))s, but it's nice decoration, I suppose.

no that wasn't funny, even if it was funny, I didn't have the time nor wanton to read the scribbly text, and click on it, who knows maybe this movie is good. I just didn't see it.

In hindsight, the review makes a valid point. And it's useful in that regard. But the sarcastic tone of the writing? Totally unneeded.

Now here's a reviewer who's a bit confused. He likes it yet gives it 1? (Note: I'm not disputing the score. Just the contradicting statements.) And it really offers nothing constructive in any way.
Its a good start. July 9, 2003

This review shows even short reviews can be great. Multiple suggestions, positivity, a bit of banter, scores with thought put into them, this review has it all.
Nice Original Game!! July 14, 2003

This might have been a valid point. Almost ridiculously short, yet poetic in its potency. However, that is until you realise that the point was addressed in the game itself. Still, it's the thought that counts.
