I was thinking, do you think there is a list out there on the web that is able to rank Newgrounds movies based on certain aspects of animation like 'tween ability' or 'sound quality' and 'writing skill'? If so, i'd like to find out where and if not, somebody needs to create one! A score out of 5 doesn't work that great if there isn't a criteria behind it.

No, I dont think there is. I dont think they would put that much work into making one. I could be wrong though. It is a good idea though wish there was one.

If you're looking for criticism you should probably ask for it here. You can ask for it in the Flash portal but 9/10 people will review this:
(If they like) Awesome I liked it 10/10
(If not) It sux u sux go die 0/10

Yeah, that's what sucks. I'd like to see a site where you vote the movies out of 5 or 10 on each aspect. then the grand total is what the movie's score is. Basically a more in-depth type of scoring system. That's too much of a change though for a site like this... But I'd just like seeing something like that for this site, sort of how they have those detailed rankings on the Newgrounds Log site.

some people do leave a ranking like that on your flash, they go through like
graphics = 7
sounds = 10
plot = 8
length = 9
etc..
overall = 8.5

but sadly that isn't everyone, not even the majority..

but i do agree it should be more in depth

I would help construct the list although it would just be way too much to do. All I know is animation wise Waterlollies is at the top.

130,000 entries is a little too many movies to have to go back and rerate in a new system...

So true sir, so true.

Yes, a more advanced system would be nice. But you have to appreciate the system that Newgrounds has provided for us. I mean, for something at this massive of a scale to provide in depth user accounts with individual experience and levels. Plus comprehensive evaluations of videos based off of thousands of user ratings. It's all quite impressive.

I'd say, if you want to make a difference, do what 51lver said and break your ratings down into different categories then post them in your reviews. It may not change things for Newgrounds, but you'd be at least setting an example for others to follow.

Thats actually how the old Newgrounds Portal Review System works

Now you just give it one score instead of 7 or 8 small ones. Its easier, but less explaining. I kinda wish they would bring that system back

I think that the NGMag should actually do something and have 4-5 people from the community review everything that comes on the Front Page.

I don't think that complex opinions can be written numerically.

Unless you write it in 1337.

I think it'd be great if they made it an option, ya know? Then those who truly want to use it would take advantage of it, and those who don't simlply don't have to.

Writing the individual scores in the reviews does sound like the easiest answer.

I'll have to disagree with you there my good sir.

Waterlollies has some very nice animation, but it's strength lies more in the immersive and incredibly detailed universe adam phillips has created.

I've noticed from time to time he uses more time-saving animation techniques.

as for as actual animation goes, I've yet to see something better than:
