Reviews for "C.L.A.P. 2 : Words"

Not as epic as the first, but still entertaining

Then again, it is rare for a sequel to surpass its original, excluding masterpieces like Godfather 2, Terminator 2, Toy Story 2 & 3, etc so I shouldn't be too hard on you. However, sometimes it's because the director doesn't know what to do or doesn't know how to improve on it. On your end, however, you do, you're just lazy and rushed it. No offense, haha - I'm lazy, too.

For example in the first one, you included much more wit and thought into each sentence and word.

All flashes have a focus. Some are focused on story. Some are focused on artwork and animation. Some are focused on the sound and music. And some are focused on making us fall off our chairs laughing and break our skulls. And some are to educate... which is not really suited for newgrounds, mostly whom are people still in middle, high school, or college and are sick of school and want to see something to make them laugh or otherwise drive their thoughts away from the realistic, hard world and escape for a while. But regardless of whether your flash is used to impress us with artistic or musical talent, make us laugh, or tell a story, we can all agree on one thin - all flashes submitted are meant to entertain us.

That is where you failed.

The first movie kept us laughing on ends while keeping the educational context alive. It was 50% humor, 50% education. In this video, you overwhelmed us with educational concepts while keeping humor so minimal that I never laughed and only occasionally brought upon a smile. It was near 80% education and 20% humor, most of which is stale and dry.

I mean come on, with combination of chinese words, and I being Taiwanese myself, there is so much endless potential in combining words into phrases that are so exaggeratedly crazy and makes no worldly sense to the point that it will make us laugh until we fall off our chair and burst our stomachs, causing our entrails and all that gory stuff to come out and we will still be laughing. And seeing from your multitude of works and masterpieces, you're still capable of thinking of those crazy things. You're still in your prime. You're just lazy and didn't bother to think of it. You rushed it and hurried it and sent it in just to get it over with.

And like your English (Chinese) teacher who read your rushed essay and knows you are capable of much more and yet you only showed this much in your essay, I can only give you a B- instead of the A you should have gotten.

Yeah, not nearly as entertaining, I know. Like I said, I just didn't want stagnate any longer on this one. Thanks for the thorough review.

What chineze ?

O chineze !

LOL!!! funny bro.

Cute and funny.

Voted you a fiver. Your voice sounds JUST LIKE the dude from Shitty Wok food chain in South Park... which kept me laughing and watching. ^.^

Chinese is an insanely hard language. I think I'll stick with English and Spanish. But thank you for the submission. I liked it.

Hasta luego mi amigo!

Good God..

I really do enjoy watching this, and probably more, listening to these. I visited China by myself for 2 months and couldn't stop thinking about how much this flash reminds me of China and how complex the language is. Yet, you can make it so much more fun to learn random characters just by using their language to make your flash.

Do you know some chinese or is it an aspiration to learn, or are you chinese? Any way it goes. I enjoy these flashes and do hope to see more as you continue to make a name for yourself on Newgrounds.

Rating:

Wasn't much animation, but the voice acting and overall artstyle of the flash was pretty good. Everything was crisp, clean, even throwing in humor with mispellings that if read as spelled, made a mockery of a chinese accent. Nice coloring scheme and papyrus look to the screen. 7, may be too high for what it is, but to me, the humor and overall spirit of the flash makes me believe it's worth about so. Thanks and have a great one!

My mother is 100% Taiwanese (grandparents from Hunan). I was raised in Taiwan and Malaysia from ages 10-18, visiting Taipei every Summer since I was born. I speak conversational Chinese fluently, so no politics, science, etc.
