Ninja / Martial Arts Submissions
It really is hard to find an amazing Ninja / Martial Arts movie (A cartoon not a real film). I would love it if someone could make a cartoon which has all the good stuff aboput ninjas and doesn't include all the un-original stuff like ninja stars and the ninjas flying and playing the guitar ( I do like the boy's website who created all that stuff, i do find it funny, i just don't like it for a ninja, if you know what i mean). Just an amazing movie, which captures the greatness of ninjas and martial arts. It should have great graphics, not frame by frame, preferrably hand-drawn (look at kishartdotcom's profile and his animation "Bonerplex" for reference). It would also have to have a good and reasonable storyline and atleast one amazing fighting scene between a ninja and a martial arts master. I would also be a brilliant bonus if it showed the ninja as a silent assassin, creeping up on people killing them. That would go straight to number one on my profile and stay there, forever. It would be my favourite movie of all-time forever. I'm sure it would be the same for other ninja / martial arts lovers. If you could do that, you would also be my favourite author no matter what your other stuff is like. Honest. If anyone wants to do a movie like this and wants me to write it, contact me through newgrounds.
Anyway, enough about my dream, on with the review;
Graphics (6) -
I do like frame by frame i just thinks this was a bit too...crumbly, if you know what i mean (asif your hands were shaking while you were drawing it)
Sound (7) -
The sound was good except the voices weren't that good and some of the sound effects annoyed me throughout the movie.
Interactivity (3) -
I give one point for a play and replay button. Another for scene selection, and the third for any additional buttons (Pics, in your case)
Style (6) -
I love the whole ninja style and everything i just think the chracters weren't drawn to good. And also some of the things in the movie were too un-orginal like ninja stars, i also hated the matrix slo-mo thing (it's getting waaaay too old).
Violence (5) -
The violence in it was good, but again, it wasn't amazing. It was good but i didn't like it enough to give it a 10 because some of the things like the explosion (also getting too old) was to un-original. It would've been better if there was more gore aswell and more cool moves to kill people except from the usual, head coming off etc. There is too much to say about how i didn't like the violence and how much more you could add to it.
Humour (2) -
There was a few funny bits in the movie, but when i think of a ninja movie, i don't want it in it. I just hate humour in a ninja / martial arts movie. If you ever decide to do another ninja movie or decide to do what i was talking about, don't include humour please, Thank you.
Overall (6) -
There was a few good moments in it, but too much of it was taking from other ninja cartoons, and most of it was un-orginal. Next time think up more of your own stuff. Also, i would have been great if you gave it a more japanese feel, for example using a japanese temple kind of thing instead of a modern building which you used. Also, it would have been great if you had the camera behind the japanese sliding doors, then all of a sudden the streak of blood goes across it with the sound of a sword cutting someone. Not very original but millions of people love it. If you had just added some amazing cool moves and a good storyline it would be great movie. I also hated the detonator thing and the explosion, not very ninja-like thing.
