This reminded me of Power Rangers mixed with Dragon Ball Z
All in all, this was...this IS a very enjoyable to view, well animated, and flowed very well with itself
keep up the good work. :D
Reviews for "ECLIPSE FORCE"
Really liked this one. Sure, it was a pretty standard cop buddies/superhero story, but I think it was pretty cool for what it was. There are a lot more cliché animations at newgrounds that get praise (looking at you, Alien Report!), and I liked the jokes a lot generally. The visual effects were great, problalby the strongest part of your flash. I only wish the antagonist would've got a bit more text and personality, you can't have enough witty/cheesy banter in a superhero flick now, can you? All in all, though, it was highly enjoyable.
Naw, they should get married <3
One of the best animated movies ive seen on Newgrounds yet! *Pushing the fav-button*
The good bits were mostly the animation; it was mostly clean and came off how it should. There was good usage of cutting to enhance humor (like the last sentence where she cuts off.)
The voices weren't bad, but they felt a bit dry and out of character (which is saying something for characters we've *just* met.) One instance was saying "Bitching" instead of "BItchin'", because in the context no one adds the 'g', it's just unatural. Some jokes, like the "touch your ass" one just felt tacked on IMO; rather than something more natural.
The story felt... mostly predictable and fell into all the cliches these types tend to without offering anything new and having *all* of the problems with said cliches. Maybe this is meant to be like a parody, maybe not; if it is I couldn't tell :s. I'd try to make the team's dialogue feel more natural, get away from lame sexual humor, and work on making the next story something more interesting and unique than the standard villain we're all used to.
For all of the "bad" I bring up; I generally thought it was all *at least* "OK" or better; and rated 3.5+. All of the above is nitpicking; which is really only possible once someone has decent enough skills to be worth talking about. Good job in general and I hope to see your future works improve.

Thanks for reviewing! The story in my film is one of the weakest points of my film, because I sinned and chose to focus more on action than the beginning story due to time constraints. My least favorite part is when Cygnus appears because he has no origin story or what have you.
Your "bitching" comment is funny because originally she DID say "bitchin". but to ME it sounded weird and unnatural! I purposely made her add the g and liked it better, interesting haha
I will disagree on the sexual humor criticism though. The live screening and new grounds responded to that humor very well and worked on the dynamic between the two character for this iteration, albeit cliche. Luckily I am a fan of the cliche and cheesy, when done right, and while not all the things I did were right, it's still a tone I think is special to Eclippe Force.
This is going places man
