Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captain Capitalism]

Perfect 10! Extremely funny!

This movie was soo awesome, truely one of the better movies of the past month or so. I have given lots of 10's recently because there have been many awesome movies, so in other words im saying this definitely deserves it and im not just being simple minded. Having said that this is one of the better 10's and more obvious ones that i have given recently, and i will explain why later on in my review. This has already gone in my favourites, and it shouldnt be a wonder why. It was impressive on more than level, and each aspect was done impressively. And another good thing is that this movie was not dissapointing in anyway i can think of. Well heres my review.

The graphics were VERY well done. At the very start of the movie they were debateable, i was thinking whether i should give a 9 or a 10. But soon later i decided and was convinced that they deserve a 10. Because everything in terms of graphics everything seemed to get a lot better. The drawings to start were awesome, i mean you could tell right off the bat that you have a really cool animating style, just based on Cheney's drawing. The others were just as awesome! The detail was awesome too, it wasnt the sketchy kind, but i think it was more along the lines of using lines to create a very distinct appearance, for example the muscle on our hero, Captain Capitalism. The colours were very good too, they really complemented the animating style positively, they added i guess you could say a whole new demension to the visuals. The animation was awesome, this was really noticable on the facial expressions!

The style deserves nothing nothing short of a 10 either for multiple reasons. A really obvious one would have to be your animating style. As i mentioned while explaining the graphics you could tell right off the bat that your animatinng style is superb. And even looking at it again i still think the same way. Another fairly obvious one is the idea. Its kind of simple yet it has some really cool elements that make it interesting. It was a tad political, having Dick Cheney in there, it has a clever title, great character design within, and the style of humour was just great too. There was some fantastic presentation to go along with the awesome idea. The mood never got to serious either and that was also really fun to see.

The sound was awesome, not quite good enough for a 10 for one main reason. There wasnt enough to the sound, ie sound effects, music. There was some music but not during the actual movie. The voice acting is mainly what brought the sound all the way up to a 9. It was pretty much as good as it could be from what ive seen. Its rare that you see voice acting any better than this.

The humour was perfect in this, it wasnt all that inappropriate, the style of it was what i really like to see and it just made me laugh quite frequently.

Overall this was a fantastic movie for multiple reasons as i have stated. It seems you have no other submissions to Newgrounds, so this was a brilliant debut to a career here. I bet some people already have you as one of their favourite authors. Anyways i hope this isnt the last thing you submit! We need more stuff as great as this!!
~Standing Ovation!! 5/5 (wicked awesome man!)

[Blockhead: Episode 2]

Great!

This was just a great flash on each level. You went beyond the average of everything and impressed me. Maybe not with the visuals alone, but more so a combination of a bunch of things. All the aspects combined made for a really amusing movie. It does have room for improvement, but then again what doesnt. Here is my review.

The graphics were great, they were kind of crude in a way, but also somewhat charming in a way as well. The colours i could basically say the same thing for. The drawings were good i guess, but they had such a unique style to them, and that style was actually done quite nicely. The animation was smooth, i actually enjoyed the emotions! The style of this movie was great, partly because of your animating style. But mostly because of the random style of humour in this. The idea "introducing tongz!" was kind of clever, though it was random and simple, in good ways. The sound was great as well, the voice acting was good and so were the sound effects. The humour could possibly be the best part about this movie!

Overall this was a great movie, with lots to offer for anyone looking for a pleasant comedic movie. I hope you can make more like this in the near future!

Thanks for the hefty review! I like to know not only what people think of the finished product, but their thoughts on all the little constituents that build it up. This was very helpful feedback, and I appreciate the time you took to write it.

More Blockhead soon!

[Space Jerks : Episode 6]

Very good again.

This series is one that i just like to see in the portal, i go and watch the episode right away, and i am always delighted, perhaps not amazed, but i definitely enjoy them. Its cool because in each one you seem to have a different theme that the episode is based around. In episode 5 "violence" was more the theme, and in this one it seemed to be humour. Anyways here is my review.

The graphics are just good, they do seem slightly improved over that of the last episode. I dont know what it was about them in this episode...The style was great still, i like your sense of humour, its very clean, but still quite good! I also just like the simple story progression in each episode. The sound is always very good, the voice acting is superb, but it sure has its moments, and some well chosen sound effects are there to back it up. Great humour in this episode!

Overall this was another great space jerks episode, i cant wait until more come out i will be sure to review them if i see them. Keep up the great work!

[On The Moon (episode 3)]

Very good, again!

This episode was good for sure, it had everything youd want in another On The Moon Movie. But it didnt surpass the other episodes, or my expectations really. I still liked it, i mean if you liked the first two episodes you will like this one but you wont be totally pleased with it. Anyways here is my review.

The graphics were awesome, now i am aware PEABO did the animation, sorry about that but now i know! The drawings are good, they are smooth around the edges and are very easy on the eyes. Nice job on the actual animation too, again it was smooth. The style was great, but i still wasnt pleased with how much the story progressed in this episode. The animating style was nice though, and asnother thing you should improve on is the length if you can. The sound was awesome, very nice sound effects. The biggest thing here though is the voice acting, it was simply superb.

Overall this was a great movie, i wish it could have been longer. I said all i could say while reviewing other episodes, so im a bit speechless. Well nice work, i want to see episode 4!

[Operation Five Chapter 1]

Very good!

The clock crew could sure use more guys like you brit. You are one of the more talented artist in the crew that i have seen. This movie was the best clock submission i have seen in a while. You took the elements of some great clock movies (ie animating style, storyline) and made them original. It was impressive how you did this, we can relate the story to real life stories, i guess one would be the Holocaust. Anyways heres my review.

The graphics were awesome man, truely one of the more skilled animators in the crew. You took the typical smooth, refined styles of the clock crew animators and made them your own, with a bit of a fade on the outline on the drawings. I found those looked really cool. The colours were also pretty awesome, typical clock crew greatness. The style of this movie awesome, not just because of he animating style. The idea and storyline was really nice, and also very well presented. The great clock movies usually have a solid story to go along with them. The sound was awesome too, not only the voices but other things as well. I liked the effects that you had with the voices like the echoe when pineapple was talking. The sound effects were cool and same goes for the music.

Overall this was an awesome movie, with lots to offer to anyone looking for a good movie, and even more so clock fans. I hope the next episode is as good as this one was...way to go!

Thanks for the motivating review! Part 2 will be out next year :D

[Nobodies Shorts #4]

Solid work.

Great job on this movie, it was definitely pleasing in every aspect. I must admit, however, that none really amazed me much. They did the job, but barely anything more. That doesnt change the fact that it is a good movie, with lots to offer to the fans of Tomorrow's Nobodies. Anyways here is my review.

The graphics were great, i still feel you need to add more to the characters, in other words animation, detail perhaps improve character models if possible. The backrounds and detail in other things is fairly good. The animation, when ever there is any, is kind of funny in a good way. The style was great, other than the fact that it was short, i knows its "nobodies shorts" but they could still be longer. Your animating style is decent and the idea is simple yet funny. The sound was awesome though, the voice acting was simply superb and the sounds were there to go along with it. The humour was not half bad :D.

Overall this was a great movie, expect a more in depth review for a longer submission though. I am looking forward to Tomorrow's Nobodies #4 dont dissapoint!

Hey, glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the full review. Our next short will probably be longer and ep.4 is going to be about 12mins long.

[Yet Another Day]

Superb, nothing less than youd expect!

You are one of those rare artists that impress me everytime, but that "every" doesnt imply to a lot of movies. You should submit more to newgrounds, most of the users who watch your stuff really think its great, as do i! This particular movie was great or even better in every way i can think of. You could very well be the most talented female artist on the site! Here is my review!

The graphics were awesome, there were very simple drawings in this movie though, for example the window frame with the flower pot in it, and the buildings in the backround. The thing with the simple drawings is i loved them anyways though i cant give a 10 for graphics, they were charming! The detail in general was more than satisfying, and i loved the cute character design. Perhaps make the animation smoother in your next movie. The style was awesome, not quite perfect due to lack of a bit of length and idea. The idea was definitelty good, but not 10 worthy you see. Its simple and there isnt all that much to it. Your anmating style is, and always has been one of your true signatures. Keep that kind of stuff up! I loved the whole charming feel to this movie, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside <3. The sound was awesome, simply because it was used effectively, because i wasnt a big fan of the song.

Overall this was another awesome movie by you, and i will admit i did not know you were a girl until this movie!! Well impressive work ,i hope you can submit things to newgrounds on a more regaulr basis. Either way keep up the amazing work!
