Score: 7
"Not bad..."
date: January 7, 2008
Graphics/Animation: 6
The drawing wasn't great for this movie, but it wasn't bad either. The only peeve I had was in some places the lines went a little too far on the character and when they were moving it really poked out and showed. I understand, though, that this was meant to be more of a cartoony type of move so I'm not going to kill the score with points based on a "supreme" style of drawing, but at the same time I need to point out that there needs to be a little cleaning up done around the characters. Not bad here, a 6/10 isn't bad based around the way I rate graphics/animation.
Audio: 7
The Audio here wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Again, it was more of a comedy/cartoony flash, so I'm not grading strict at all for this category. The voice acting was really good, and I really liked the wife's more high pitched voice, even if she only had a quick line to deliver. But overall, the sound wasn't bad at all here, so nice job.
Humor: 7
I'm not hard to please when it comes to humor usually, but my score is based more around the fact that this flash had hard to get type of humor. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I watched the movie 3 times so that I could actually get the joke, and on the third time I actually got it and laughed. Sometimes though, it's better to have easy humor for the sake of the viewer. But not bad, I even found the main character funny, the way he acted. Nice job.
Originality: 9
Well definitely original, as I haven't seen anything like this in the portal, so it was a good story, but just a little too short in my opinion. But if these types of jokes are your style, then stick with them because they're the types of jokes that once you understand you're like "woah, that was better than I expected!"
Overall: 7/10
A 7/10 definitely isn't a bad score, it means you have a lot of potential to create a good series of flash movies (though I doubt that's what you were planning on making out of this). But it was a good flash, and I really enjoyed the humor. Just remember that to please the viewer you have to think of what would please you to see in a flash as well.
