Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Cheas- Part 1]

Great work! Great first episode.

This was really well done, and for a few reasons. I just liked how everything fit together. you know i only give great reviews to the things i enjoy. So here it is!

The graphics were pretty good, i liked the smooth cartoony style you have. I also love Cheas after seeing this, they look so cute and cuddly. Anyways the colours were well done and so was the animation. There were really no flaws for graphics. The style was pretty good as well, as i said i loved your animating style, its unique and just well done in my opinion. The idea for this is funny, but perhaps not the most original thing ever in terms of storyline kind of following other series. You did use cheas rather than regular people so thats a little different. The sound had its moments in this. The voice acting was good for the most part, i particularily liked Phil's voice, Keiths voice could use a little fine tuning on the expressions. I think they were a little over dramatic. Well this had some funny points too, i thank you for making me laugh.

Overall very well done, i really cant wait until episode 2. I have a feeling it will be even better than this! 4/5

[The Lock Show Episode 1]

Great job! Go locks!

You know, after this i really dont think i like the clocks better than the locks at all. The locks in my opinion are much more consistant with the greatness of their movies.

The graphics are great, as they usually are with t3h locks. The colours are well done. And i just like the cartoony styles your movies have. It just makes me want to look at them, even if they are boring. The style was great, this was a pretty clever idea, with all the lock news, but it wasnt boring at all. You made it interesting and funny, this can sometimes be a difficult thing to do with a news cartoon. The sound was great, the lock voice was good in this one, not annotying or anything. The sound effects were funny to, like after he pulls out the gun, the shrieks of terror. This had humour in it for sure, and i thank you for making me laugh.

Overall this was great, i think it was one of the better lock submissions out there. Please keep em coming. 4/5

Woot, thanks alot, man.

[Metal Gear Shake Eater 2]

Good.

This was pretty well done, ive never played the games so some parts were a little hard to understand. But this was good, its one of those things i think that i just cant hate.

The graphics did the job, good at points. They were better at some parts than others, try to even it all out. The drawings were pretty good and i liked the backrounds, even ifyou didnt draw them. there wasnt very much animation, but i liked what i saw. The style had its moments, good because it was wel presented. But parodies of this game has been done a lot before.

Anyways i liked it and i hope other people did too. Keep it up!

[legacy of kain animated]

Wait a second....

Youre saying this is your first animated short?!?! Thats hard to believe, this was too good to be a first. This is without a doubt the best first animation i have ever seen on NG. Really this would even compare to some people's animation after they have been doing it for quite some time.

The graphics were surprisingly good for a first. The drawings were awesome, and they seemed to be drawn with great accuracy. The detail in them was quite good. The backrounds from what i remember were nice. The animation was also quite good, you dont ever see animation talent like this so soon. The style of this movie was pretty good, i like your animating style first off. Maybe the idea could be more original, i mean its just a fight. But it did have some elements that made it a bit different than other fight animations. The sound was pretty good as well. Althought it was just the song, i liked the song and how it fit the actions of the movie. Perhaps sound effects could prove useful.

Overall an amazing job for a first animation. My expectations for your future animations are already extremely high with this being your first. Please keep em coming! 4/5

[NSC's Ganbare Goemon]

Great job!

I think this one is better than the other cartoon similar to this that came out recently. I dont have anything really bad to say about this one, maybe a few critiques here and there.

The graphics were great in this movie. Some of the better sprite work on Newgrounds that ive seen. The variety was great, it was good to see more than one type of enemy. The backrounds were good, they fit in to all the action happening. The smoothness of the whole thing was great too. Your style in this movie was pretty good, good srpite work usually gets high style points from me anyways. I liked the idea of the whole thing, and i liked how the story progressed through this episode. The sound was well done, from the music, to the sound effects, to the grunts of war coming from the hero and the enemies, all was well done.

Overall this was great, and i wouldnt be surprised if you got a really high mark on your class LOL, seriously keep it up, i want to see more.! 4/5

[Angrybot 2 - Recess]

Good enough for a 9!!

Great work, im starting to love this series more and more with each installment. Sadly i havnt seen too many of them yet, but from what i have seen the whole series is hilarious. This one was no exception.

The graphics were great! I love the drawings and the way youdraw, in other words your animating style. Angrybot looks great i must say, the multiple shades of red on him make him look three dimensional. The backrounds were great as well. The animation was fairly limited, but what i did see was pretty good. Your style in this movie was near perfection. I love the whole idea of the series, robots with different personalities. This is one of the best settings for angrybot to possibly be in too. Recess with smelly little kids running around. Great animating style too! The sound was really well done. Each voice seemed varied over the last voice. Angrybots voice has great expression, and i loved the fat little kid's voice at the end. The backround sound effects were nice, pleasant actually. The humour in this was pretty damn good too, again near perfection.

Overall this was awesome, i can always use a few laughs late at night. This did just that, thanks a lot! Anyways keep em coming! 5/5

[Reviewer Pwnage!]

solid!

Good job, this is another one of the strawberry clock submissions i actually liked. This one wasnt the best animated thing around but other things carried it through and made it good.

The graphics as i said werent the greatest in this, but thet were good to the point where i wasnt annoyed. The style is what really made me like this. The idea and the way you presented it was awesome, kind of in a gameshow of some sort. It was funny, witty creative, and i share the same hatred for terrible reviewers like that. The sound did the job just as the graphics did.

Really my liking for this came in the style id say. To creative to be overlooked. I cant wait for another in this series!

Some people took this entry ever so seriously, i'm glad your not one of them =D

[Patience]

Good work!

Thanks for translating the message over to english but i dont know it if was worth submitting the whole thing overa again. Well its not a bad thing because this was some great work, and well done in each aspect. I reviewed the last one in detail, so this review will bascially sum it up.

The graphics were pretty good, i liked the backrounds . They had a certain artistic style that i enjoyed. The animation with the drawings was very smooth. The style of the whole thing was pretty good, perhaps the message could be more clear yet, and maybe you could have made like another cartoon to show a different side of the message. The sound was good, mostly from the music. The "jabbering" that the characters were doing i didnt like too much, but it makes sense for this movie.

Overall very good, i liked it better this time, simply because i could understand the message at the end. Cant wait for a new submission! 4/5

[banana phone "SAW"]

Wow that was good!

Excellent job on this! This was a parody of two great things, banana phone, and Saw. I never thought id see both combined into one like this, if you think about it both of them can go really well together, but who would ever thing of doing it is the question.

The graphics were pretty good, and they more than did the job. The drawings were good like they usually are with you. The backrounds and setting are really well done, you get the feeling its the exact same place as it was in the real movie. The style of this movie was almost perfect because of the really creative idea, combining Saw and banana phone and made them work together. Memorable moments from both were put into this and that just made it more amusing overall. The sound was awesome. Wasnt perfect but it fairly close. The sound effects were well done, everything was in sync with the action. I particulairy enjoyed the sounds of the guy smashing the door. The music was really well done in that, i dont think you could have chosen better music. And the song at the end is awesome. Whats it called? The humour in this was very well done to, there was plenty of it throughout. The ending was great too!

Overall a very solid final product with few or no flaws. It combined two classics and did it with style. I thank you for this. Please tell me the name of the song at the end. Or was it just from the movie? Anyways im in a generous mood and i think this deserves high scores, heres a 5/5

[The Zero Dragon Ep.1]

Great work!

This was really well done, and a definite improvement over your previous submissions, not that they sucked, its jsut this was really good. Maybe there were a few awkward moments with the sounds and animation but this movie was really well done overall.

The graphics were great. The drawings were very good and detailed, same with the backrounds. The colours were all pretty well done. And the animation had its moments but at some points it kind of seemed like you tried to hard to make the movement detailed, for example when the girl sits down. Your style in this movie was pretty good except a some parts that progressed a little too slow. Your animating style is nice and pretty unique from what ive seen. It was more realistic than most styles out there. The idea of it all was very original, as you said poking fun at how serious you take your reviews. The sound was pretty good, the sounds were cool and i liked the voice acting. Maybe some of the sounds could have been chosen better, but they were good in general. The voice acting was pretty good, but the audio quality didnt really complement it all that well. Work on the quality for future submissions.

Overall this was really well done and without a doubt your best submission yet. This stands out not just for your own submissions, but from the portal as well.It has an awesome score and i think it deserves it. Cant wait for the next one! 4/5
