Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dream With No Fear]

Ohh, i liked it!

Really great job here, this was a different sort of flash, well you can expect that if it really came from a dream. This kind of thing cant usually be made up, without having some sort of unique inspiration, and in this case it was a dream.

The graphics were very cool and not only that, they were just plain well done. First, i loved the black and white style of everything a lot. It added to the mood quite a bit. I liked the special effects, and by effects i mean all the flickers of light and stuff. The character looked freaky, but in a good way. The animation was really smooth in this, almost surprisingly so. The style of this movie was also pretty well done. I liked the idea, but perhaps the message or "idea" wasnt clear. Then again i dont know if it was supposed to be clear. The sound was pretty good too, though it was just the song, you used it very effectively. It helped create the mood in a great way.

This was a really well done flash overall, i enjoyed it a bunch. Please have more dreams, i am in need of more great flash from dreams! 4/5

Thank you for the your awesome review Chris.

[Birthday card for Sarah]

The best birthday card i have seen.

Ok, i must say i would love to get something that nicely animated for my birthday, Sarah is lucky : ). Well even if this wasnt for a friend, i would have liked it. The graphics were superb, there just wasnt enough for me to give you a 10(ie it was too short). The detail in everything from the characters to, the backrounds was awesome. Wonderful style too, actually putting effort into a birthday card like this. Theres no way she could have hated it. The sound added a bit to this. perhaps it played too quietly but i liked it.

Really a job very well done. Make a full length animation with graphics like these and ill be sure to review it! 4/5

Lambi responds:

Iv ementioned this to a few other reviewers: the graphics wre actually grabbed from my other, much longer animations.
Thanks for the lenghty and thoughful review :)

[MGS: TAS Episode 1]

Funny, and random.

Good job on this. This is one of those submissions i just cant hate because of the presentation and because of the fun i had watching this. It wasnt just fun to watch, but it was well done too.

The graphics, while they were a little crude were really fun to look at. They were great sometimes actually! I just loved how you draw your people, its extremely creative and original. The animation had its moments in this. The style was great, a big part of this is because of your awesome animating style, its so funny! The idea is somewhat creative, but your presentation on it was really good. It was so wacky sometimes, it gave the whole movie a certain charm that i really enjoyed. The sound was good, but it only came from the voice acting. The acting was pretty good, but thats all there was. There were none or almost no sound effects in this, there was the music however, which i did enjoy. The humour came from the wacky nature of this!

Overall this was well done, as i said it was one of those things that i cant help but like. Anyways keep em coming. 4/5

Thanks! This review is awesome.

[Mario's Jump In (HR)]

Awesome sprite work!!

I think sprite animators are taking their work more seriously these days, recently many great sprite animations have entered the portal, and i put this one near the top of the list.

I actually think its awesome that you recreated some of the scenes from ROTMK because those were probably the most detailed sprite scenes i have ever seen. Your scenes were even really well done, partly because of the detail, but alos because their layout. The variety was great i must say and the animation was nothing short of awesome. Your style was awesome for a few reasons. First your effort appeared awesome in this, recreating scenes from the best sprite out there. The idea is awesome, going back in time or into a movie, either way very cool! It was presented very well, in my opinion. The sound was well done, but sadly i wasnt amazed by it. It was all well used and the more sound effects the better.

Overall this was great, easily one of the better sprite animations i have seen this month, or maybe ever for that matter. Keep the great work coming. 4/5

Cream-E responds:

thanks for the long review. I appreciate ur comments. :)

[The BINGE-er-bread Man]

Ha! great job!

This was surprisingly well done, in each and every aspect. For some reason i wasnt expecting this to be as good as it was. I dont know what else i can say here...

The graphics were awesome. The drawings were really detailed in general, and the exact same goes for the backrounds. Really everything was just well drawn. Plus the animation not only fit in with everything, but it was plain great! Really smooth animation throughout! The style of this was great overall, and for a couple reasons. Your animating style was really good, and it distinguished itself very early. The idea is pretty clever, i liked the dialogue and i loved how it rhymed. I didnt enjoy the sense of humour throughout the entire thing, i found the end gross. The sound was great, good soundeffects helped out. But the biggest thing here is the voice acting. It was simply superb, great expression, and awesome characters. The humour was well done to an extent, as i kind of said earlier i didnt enjoy all the humour in this. Most of it was good though.

Overall a really well done movie, just style issues here. And this is my opinion too. Im not saying im right, but this is what i saw in the movie. Anyways keep em coming! 4/5

NotSafeForWork responds:

Thanks for your mature review of a movie that oozes with immature humor!

I'm glad you could enjoyed the movie despite its sickness - this is what I was hoping for. There are too many Newgrounds movies whose creators go for the sickness and violence and assume that the viewers' enjoyment is guaranteed.
I respect your opinion and agree with you, yes, it is gross and sick. Have no fear, I DID notice this when I came up with the idea. (But if I didn't do it, somebody else would.)

Stay tuned for even worse gross-out humor in the near future, as I release another perverted NSFW Bros bedtime story!

[The Enemy Within: RM]

Great work! Very few critiques....

Great work on every aspect in this, this is without a doubt one of the best sprite animations i have seen. Throughout it was too easy to see how much effort you put in.

The graphics were awesome except when you did that thing with the characters' limbs. You made them striaght and rigid, and it just looked really awkward to me sometimes. But the sprites that you created blended in with the professionaly made ones. The detail in everything was amazing, you seem to have tried in every little thing. The backrounds looked great too! The style of this was pretty good. Other than that one lapse in the graphics i talked about your animating style was awesome. The whole feel to the movie was well done. I liekd the idea of there being like a Dark Mario, and the intro in mario's dream was a great addition. The sound was great, nice sound effects, and great choice of music. There was a lot of violence, and i needed some of that.

Overall this was really well done, this is in my top 5 favourite sprite movies, and i have seen quite a few up to this date. Make more in the near future! 4/5

GAMECUBICLE responds:

Thanks :)

[-<EA:Exposed>-]

Good work!

This was well done, at least fairly well in each aspect. I liked everything about this to an extent. This was well presented overall.

The graphics could use some work in areas, but they stood out as being above average. The drawings were good, kind of funny at points..in a good way. The backrounds and animation did the job, i was pleased to see some effort. The style was pretty good, partly because of your animating style. Mostly because of the clever idea, and the way you presented it. Perhaps some things were a little slower than they should have been, but it didnt take much out of the whole viewing experience. The idea as i said was clever. Its cool to see a film like this, behind the scenes at EA. The sound was pretty good other than a few quality and expression lapses in the voice acting. The idea had some humour in it too.

Overall this was well done, with a few small flaws here and there. Make more in the near future!

DJJ-asshole responds:

i'm glad that i finally hear a honest review, thanks for the information, i will improve my future flash creations!

[LL - The Magical Cup]

Ha! Go locks!

This is what i mean when i talk about the Lock Legions consistancy. They submit many more great submissions than the clocks i think.
Well this was very good, again its one of those things i dont think anyone could really hate.

The graphics were solid as they usually are with you guys. Smooth unique drawings always make for a fun watching experience. The colours were well done, and same with the animation in this case. The animation was smooth just like the drawings. The style if this was pretty good as well. I can usually expect something creative to come from the locks. I dont think i have seen another flash like this before. Your animating style also helps out overall style in a very good way. The sound was good, mostly because of the music, perfect "spy movie" music it was. I always get a kick out of those robotic voices, as long as they arent annoying beyond reason. Humour is also something i can expect from t3h locks. There is always a bit of humour...

Overall a very good job, and im glad i saw this. I almost skipped it because i was rushing to get into something else. Anyways thanks for the few laughs and for the high quality submission! 4/5

Gregosan responds:

BEST REVIEW SO FAR! You have just won yourself a bottle of Uncle WaterLock's Drinkng Water!!!

Thanks, and it's my pleasure to bring joy to everyone.

[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

Robot-Lock responds:

Woot, thanks alot, man.

[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!
