Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mi Pueblo]

Yeah!! That was fun!

Great job man, can you understand english?! Well i will review anyways as i say Great Flash Deserve Great Reviews. I will explain each aspect in my review.

The graphics were great. Thats a big reason why i had so much fun while wacthing this. You have a really good animating style, you seem to know how to make a movie more amusing to watch. The colours were nice and they fit the whole "fun" thing im basing my reivew on. The drawings were great, i just liked looking at them. Some of the backrounds were very good, and you seem to have put lot of effort into them. The animation was pretty good, it seemed smooth despite my friends crappy computer. If only i could understand spanish i would have given this higher style points. Everything else about style was great, your animating style, the length, and the idea were all just great. Also this was really amusing which is important about every type of flash. The sound was great i really love that song despite not being able to understand any of the words. The song and the animation together made for a really fun experience. I would probably listen to the song in an Out-of-flash situation. There was a bit of a humour element in this too.

Overall this was great, really well done and the final product roxors. Anyways i hope you can understand this review. Keep it up! 4/5

[Rush 2 ++]

Oh yeah bout time!!!

Absolutely great man, i really enjoy your stuff. I cant wait for each one of your submissions because i know they will be awesome. You got such talent, and im glad it hasnt gone unnoticed. This one definitely lives up to your name, and after seeing this you will certainly rise up in my favourite authors. In my review i will explain each aspect, i sai Great Flash Deserve Great Reviews!

The graphics are fantastic man. I love how every how everything is drawn with the mouse, it creates a really awesome style. I love your animating style by the way, its really unique and still very well done. The colours are always cool and i love your character design. The backrounds are very impressive. Sometimes they are very detailed, like many different buildings and at other times they look as though they are on the horizon. Both those ways of doing backrounds is awesome. The animation is brilliant, very smooth and even if tis mouse drawn it is easy to tell what is going on. Your style is sweet, not just because of your animating style but a few other things as well. The feel of this movie was great too. It just felt cool to watch this whole thing. The idea is cool, i like all the "organized randomness" , because isnt that sort of what Rush is about? I loved the music as well. Its a shame there wasnt any sound effects but your style of movie is different than that. The music was upbeat and kind of cheerful, i enjoyed it. There was even a bit of a humour element in this, thats a great addition.

Overall this was fantastic, it was no worse than your other submissions at all. I found everything very well done. I hope you can continue to rock! LOL Keep em coming man! 5/5

O-Ovinnie responds:

its all about randomness (:

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 10]

Woohhooo haha great work!

Great job man, its awesome to see yet another episode of this great series. This was just as good if not better than the others. In my review i will briefly explain each aspect.

Great sprite work man. Some of the best on Newgrounds using sprites. I really enjoyed all the backrounds and characters. They all seemed to fit what was going on. What else can i say, hmm well i like the animation and you seem to know what you are doing. Your style in this series has always been good. I mean you make great profress from episode to episode in the story. The story is well thought through and you seem to have a goal by the end of each episode. The sound is great too. Even though there isnt sound effects or voice acting, you effectively use the music. Plus i just enjoy listnenig to that music anyways. The audio quality was clear and that added even more to the music. I was surprised to see interactivity in a movie, like when it made it to that part i was justy sitting there for about a minute before realizing i could clikc on stuff. The humour in this movie was great, i found myself laughing at a lot of those jokes. Especially simple ones like "oh F*ck" and i liked all the insults the Cat said.

Overall this was great and really well put together. I really like this series andi hope you can continue to keep it coming strong until the end. Great job again! 4/5

Cryokenetic responds:

WOW

That is a long review! Thanks for all your commentary! I'm glad you liked it so much!

[Munx]

Nice work, a unique flash indeed.

I liked this and i can definitely explain why, it was different than the usual stuff that comes to the portal. Everything about it was unique and seemed to be entirely your own. In my review i will breifly explain each aspect.

The graphics were good, you reaqlly got an animating style like David Firth(author of Burnt Face Man and Salad Fingers). The characters were drawn like his and thts cool. The backrounds could use a little work but i see you put effort into them. This didnt have all the animating i was lookingt for, but what i did see was good. The style in this was great, mostly because of that freaky type of mood and of course your animating style. Perhaps the pace of this movie could be a little bit faster. The sound was cool, i love how you made the audio, completely original work. The song really created that mood i spoke of very well. The audio quality seemed nice.

Overall this was good, perhaps the review average is quite as high as it should be but the score out of five is there to prove this is good. Keep up the good work! 4/5

[Taishi Ep 1: Enter Lotus]

Woah.....

This was absolutely amazing man. Its awesome to see a redone version of an already impressive series. You built on everything and made this one the best put-together flash ive ever seen and probably the best redone. I was definitely not expecting such a well done new version of Taishi, so it was a very pleasant surprise. In my review since this was so great, i will explain each aspect in detail.

The graphics, to start, were amazing and brilliant. The drawings were awesome, and i really like how you draw your people. The detail was great as well. All the colours looked awesome and they really created an atmosphere that made the movie more enjoyable. The backrounds were awesome, whether you drew them or use photoshop they were awesome. They really looked like you put a lot of effort into each one. The facial expressions on the characters were even very noticable, i havnt seen many artists do that well or even at all. The special effects are the things that really impressed me. They were simply magnificent and stunning and thats why i ended up giving you a 10 for graphics.

Your style was impressive in this movie. You had so many different components that make up a great style. Your animating style was awesome and as i sadi i love your use of special effects. The feel was great too, all the effects and sounds created a really atmoshperic mood. The story was awesome, really well though out. I really like how you based it on an exsisting martial artist of some sort. Everything about this was original and creative. The way you presented it was professional, with an intro before then the credits then the actual movie.

The sound is the last thing that i will write about. It fit everything else and it was fantastic, as everything else was. Everyway you used sound was very effective and it accomplished something. The music was awesome, really sounded like what it was supposed to, and by that i mean it seemed to fit the setting and what you think would me the music in a setting. It helped create the mood and feel extremely well. The sound effects were great, and again veery effectively used. The voice acting was very impressive, i cant believe you did every voice, even the woman's. They all had great characterization and expression.

Overall this was amazing and one of the best flash i have ever seen. Its a really good thing you redid this. It wasnt a waste of time either as it turned out very successful. Please try to make the next episode even better and leave a response if you can. 5/5

DaDocta responds:

Well Thank you very much, I appreciate that you saw how much work I put into this.. it was a long time coming.. I wanted to add in some of the storyboards I did for the toon but the file size got way to big. Music was quite difficult because I wrote a first set and didn't like it and redid the music as well.. Now I got a much better feel.
Again thanks for watching.

[StarCraft Technomix]

HA!!!! Nice work!

Great job on this! LOL i love the idea!! I use to love Starcraft, though i never played real games online, i only played LurkerDefense lol. And the campagin was impossible for me so i had to use cheats. Anyways i really enjoyed this for more than that reason. I will explain everything in my review. Great flash deserve great reviews!

The graphics were great in this, especially since its only your first full length animation. The drawings were detailed and looked very accurate to the games creatures and characters. The Marines, Zerglings, Hydralisks, Mutalisks and Battle Cruiser all look nearly exactly like they do in the game. The backrounds and animation were very good as well. I loved your style in this movie. This might be the first star craft parody i have ever seen, so it was very creative and original. Then i loved how you made all the sounds fit in with the music. Your idea was presented in a very original way and i loved that too. Your animating style is great, im surprised you actually got an animating style only after your first full length flash movie. The sound was just awesome in this as well. The sound effects were awesome, and so was the music. But then you combined the two and the sounds were going along with the beat. I thought that was soo cool!! Everything seemed to be in sync. There was plenty of violence and blood in this, but it was disgusting which i thank you for. The violence made this even more fun to watch. The humour in this was great, just listening ot the sounds go with the beat made me laugh a couple times.

Overall this was awesome especially as your first real flash project. Congrats on its success and you can only get better from here. I was sooo close to giving this a 5 but i think the graphics need a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of refining. Anyways great job! 4/5

LegolaSS responds:

Thank you for creating such a nice responce to my moive, for i am a man of few words, so next time in my protoss moive im going to refining the graphics, beacuse everyone wants protoss now

[LL - Ddevil]

Wow another great one!

You guys seem to take pride in your music video animations. Those kind of movies are the best lock legion submissions i have seen. Everything about this was basically very well done. In my review i will briefly explain each aspect of this movie.

The graphics,to start, were great and definitely some of the best graphics from the lock legion that i have seen. The drawings were great and some of them were very detailed. I could see a lot of effort put into the backrounds too, they all created a sort of aura, and of course they were detailed. The colours were great and the smooth animation fits your animating style perfectly. Your animating style helps out both the visuals and overall style, and it was very good in this movie, though tough to explain. The feel of this movie was good, the song and your animation worked together very well. They created a twisted sort of feel. I didnt particularily like the song very much, but the way you used it just cant go unnoticed. The audio quality was clear as well to top it all off. There was a lot of violence in this and its fun to watch violence!

Overall this was very good and its definitely up there with the best Lock Legion movies ever. Please keep making the music videos, i love them! 4/5

Coffee-lock responds:

This wasn't one of the big LL Collabs, where like 8 people take part.
Just me and Kiwi.
Thank you for the long review, I love reading good reviews.
And yeah, me and Kiwi are planning on starting another Music Video pretty soon. :D

[Strongium]

Argh, sadly i must say this wasnt too bad.

Ok listen, i hate Lilium parodies. They werent cool when they started automatically making it to the portal and theyre not good now, about 15 episodes later. But sadly i cant say this sucked because it just didnt. I mean you put effort into everything it seemed. And i do give great reviews you things that are...well good. So here ya go:

The graphics were this flashs strongest element without a doubt. I can really tell you tried to make the graphics great. The drawings were good, and the backrounds were actually kind of impressive. The detail in the grass and trees were great.The colours were very good too, it seemed like one of those homestarrunner cartoons i used to watch. Your style obviously not very original there have been way too many parodies already. The good thing is you tried to make it at least decent. The sound is still good, the first time i heard that song i was like "this is cool". I still think the same way about it now after hearing it 15 times in 15 different parodies. Audio quality was clear. Humour basically none other than strong bad himself, i kind of smiled as i remembered some of his SBemails. Anyways those were old times.

Overall it was good despite me hating it if that makes any sense. I hated it because it was a Lilium parody, but it had strong bad in it. I must commend you for your efforts and keep up this effort in your future submissions.

RupeeClock responds:

Thanks dude, yes I know this has been over done but I just had to do this and I enjoyed doing it.

[Modest 2]

Great work!

I must say this is a huge improvement over the first Modest andthe scores show. Modest- 2.80/5.00 and Modest 2- 3.72/5.00. Congrats on that. This was stylish for sure, and based on its score that hasnt gone unnoticed. In my review i will briefly explain each aspect of this flash.

The graphics were great, i loved them. You are one of the few people who can make stick figures look awesome. They looked different than most, i cant really explain it though. There werent any colours but that technique was fairly effectively used. The backrounds were cool, i like how everything started and kind of drew itself. The animation was very smooth, great FBF animation. Your style in this movie was very good, first your animating style with the unqiue stick figure design was awesome. Originality goes a long way. The idea of one guy pwning a million attackers has been done before but this was different, it was sticks, and the fighting was different. The sound was also awesome in this. I realized there was only the song playing for the sound but i think the song was so effectively used that you didnt need any voice or sound effects. I never heard that song before and its always fun to listen to something new and entertaining. I am definitely going to listen to that song again, i just love it. The audio quality seemed great. There was a lot of violence, but not as much as in Modest. In the first Modest there was blood and even some guts. In this there was more pwnage but no blood. In the end i think that was for the best. Good idea putting in the extra features and stuff.

Overall a fantastic improvement over the first episode. Its great to see a great stick movie as it is something you dont see everyday. Anyways make a part 3 and i will be sure to review it. Leave a response if you can. Great work again!4/5

ReZTeR responds:

Thanks, thats a real compliment. I can see myself making a third, I may use blood in that one and maybe sound, i don't know yet.

[We Hate It When...]

Woohoo!!! Awesome job guys!

Awesome awesome job. Everyone of you did fantastic. This is without a doubt the best collaboration since Stop Crying Your Heart Out. I mean the song, the graphics everything stood out to me as being extremely well done. In my review i will explain briefly eahc aspect. Oh and usually i write the longest reviews to a submission, but im pretty sure Hinotori will beat me here, im tired!

The graphics were fantastic, i would have given a 9 but it was just so cool to see so many animating styles in one short movie. The drawings were all great throughout,obviously some,such as Xenon's, stood out as being well drawn. The colours were all cool, and again i really like seeing a bunch of animating styles ...well collaborate! The animation was very good in each clip. Your styles were all good, and so was the overall style of the entire movie. Collaborations always earn high style points from me because it has so many different things i could talk about. Its great seeing so many talented authors work together and make something great. The feel of this was awesome, thanks to the music and to the fantastic presentation. Everyone flowed very smoothly and it seemed like one movie, rather than a bunch of smaller shorter clips. The sound was awesome even though it was just the song. The song was so upbeat and amusing to listen to, i couldnt help but love it. You made everything work with it too, like the lip sync. Great songs are essential to making a really successful collab. This basically had everything as well. It had some violence, good interactivity in the menus and there was even a small humour element in some of the clips, especially the last one.

Overall you guys did a wicked awesome brilliant fantasticaso job. You definitely deserve this high score, and congrats on all the success. Please make another collab in the near future. 5/5

Xenon responds:

Good ol' Chris_Aldin. Let it be known, that I (xenon) await your review everytime I submit something.

Thanks for this one, glad you enjoyed it =)
