Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Morphemon Duelists 1.1]

LOL Made fun of so many shows!

This was really good for many reasons. Graphics, sound, style, and humour were all done really well. I will break each aspect down in my review.

Graphics were great in this movie. The character design was great, i know one guy came from Digimon and the others im not sure about. Anyway the other characters were good too. I really liked your animating style in this, it realy added to the hilarity of it all. The actual animation was good also, it seemed to fit in with your animating style quite well. Graphics rocked overall!
Your style was great, and almost perfect. You made fun of so many shows, including Pokemon(i watched this in grade 3), Digimon(which i never watched) and Yugioh(which ive always despised). These shows really deserve to be made fun of. Your animating style helped out with overall style. The feel to the movie was pretty funny and the storyline was aswell.
I really enoyed the sound! First it added to the already funny mood even more. Like the great voice acting, and great sound effects. The sound made this more amusing to watch.
Humour was probably this flash's strongest element. There were jokes everywhere, whether they were making fun of those shows or just funny anyways. It seems you have a really good sense of humour.

Overall this was great. I really enjoyed watching it, and you were really close to getting a 5 from me. Its just your graphics didnt "wow" me and i didnt get that feeling when it was done , liek that "holy shit" feeling. Anyways great job and congrats on the high score! 4/5

PiGPEN responds:

hmmm...im pretty sure this part is done. maybe its the "to be continued" that leaves you feeling like that. You can expect part 2 by the end of the month.
oh and awesome review...in the running to be in my shout outs (for best reviewer).

[From Above]

Ha! That was great.

That was really good. I really liked everything about this, but some things more than others. In my review i will say everything i liked about this and some others that could use some improvement.

The graphics were good in my opinion. The only problem with them was the boy. When he stood up it looked like he wasnt drawn to well. Despite that the animation was very good. He did move smoothly so i must commend you for that. The backrounds and environments were the best part about the graphics, they reminded me of Bones, and this is definitely a good thing.
Style was perfect. Great way to start the movie off, by actually showing how that crazy gadget came to Earth. You developped the story very very well. Also when the camera was descending, and you saw the buildings then it went into his backyard, that part was cool. I havent seen a flash done like that for a while, if at all. The biggest part of the style in this movie was the idea. An awesome idea presented very well and you didnt let it go to waste by making some crappy flash. This is amongst the most original ideas ive seen on Newgrounds.
Sound was amazing. All the sound effects were great and they sounded quite realistic. The songs were very high in audio quality and they obviously helped out with the mood very well. They seemed to suit the feel of this movie aswell. The one problem with the sound was the sound effect's quality. They were a little fuzzy, for example the drinking sound at the very begining and the russeling of the bushes when the boy was hiding behind them.
This also had some great humour in it. How that gadget fell was pretty funny, all becuase of a drunk alien. All of the boy's ideas that he could do with those things were pretty funny aswell. I really liked the first one with him pissing in one end and it coming out the other on to the toilet seat. LOL Definitely the funniest part.

Overall it was simply great. It turned out amazingly despite a few problems with graphics and sounds. Work on that and your already awesome results will get even better. Either way keep up the fantastic effort! 5/5

Wow. This is the most well thought out review I've ever received. I really appreciate your comments and I'm glad to see that NG users have it in them to share their thoughts with the author, both good and bad. I never really liked this one too much, but then again what the hell do I know?

[Stirred Not Shaken: DAD]

Great work.

Really nice job on this. One of the last reviews said "more humour or plot" I guess he didnt realize this was a clip from a dismantled collaboration. A collab with 3 or 4 high quality movies, like this and Wonchop's movie, would make one hell of a collab. Its a real shame that it could not continue as planned.

I liked the graphics, pretty cool style to them. The colours were nice. The animation was generally good, it was sort of like Legendary's Frogs animation at some points. The one problem i had with the graphics/animation is the chase scene. The road combined with the backround looked a little dry and bland. With perhaps more detail on the road and in the trees the whole scene could have looked much better.
Great style aswell, unique but its hard to explain why. As i said, cool animating style, and this had a funny plot. There wasnt too much too the plot,as it was a clip from a collaboration. You made this quite fun to watch.
Sound was great aswell. The songs were pretty good, as i liked most of them, they were high quality and they created the mood i think you were trying to get. The voice acting had decent audio quality but it was great other than that....quite funny and nice expressions.
This could have used a little more fighting and a little more humour. But it was good anyways. The funniest part in this was when we put on the box with "solid snake was here" on it. I think i actually laughed at that part, or at least i found it funnier than any other.

Overall it was very well done. Very amusing to watch and fun to review. Try for another collab in the future! 4/5

Eric-S responds:

Boy, i wish all reviewers were like you. You explain in a wide detail net everything.

I know, it needed a bit more of Gore, and yeah, about the car scene, i dot know if you noticed, but i used ActionS to chenge the qualiy into Medium in the scene because it was too loaded, i guess i could have added a bunch of details like you said...

Thanks for this Awesome review! =)

[Secret Lives of Squirrels]

Haha that was awesome!

Fantastic job on this. Its a bit of a shame the 30 free trial ended, you could have made this longer, woth more action and more humour! It was awesome either way, great work on every aspect. This was amazing, especially as only your second flash project.

I really liked the graphics, as they were done differently than the usual. They kind of had an artistic style to them, but at the same time a loveable cartoony style. The part where the squirrels were jumping around the tree had some awesome graphics and animation. The animation overall was really smooth. Nice swords!

Basically you had a perfect style in this movie. Out of control fun and squirrel fighting, combined with some impressive visuals and awesome music. You had everything you need for an awesome feel to the movie , for the style itself. It was really just a unique movie! Great fun ot watch!

Sound was awesome, despite only a few sound effects. The sound effects you did have were awesome, the sword sound and the tweeting birds were both great, they sounded real! Awesome song too, it really helped create and upbeat/out of control type of mood that i really enjoyed. To top it off the audio quality was impressive!

Some violence, no blood or guts or brains. It was moderate but sometimes having more than that isnt necessary.

I liked the humour in this. It was definitely funny but it wasnt based around the humour which is cool. The whole thing, even when there were no jokes, was funny, with the squirrels running around and fighting. The funniest part was where a perso walks by and the squirrels stop fighting. Then as soon as the person walks out of sight then begin fighting again. It was done in such a way that made it really funny.

Overall this was awesome, the definition of amusing flash. Awesome work, get flash and continue with the greatness!!! 5/5

Pugchew responds:

What a great review, this is what makes spending the last two weeks drawing nothing but squirrels worth it. To be sure, I'll be doing more animations soon.

[Relax]

This was great!

Awesome work overall! Really awesome camera work and every aspect in flash you had in this were done very well.

To start off the graphics were awesome. You got an awesome art style that definitely should not go unnoticed. The black and white colour was a different way in doing things, but i enjoyed it. The first image of the tree got me instantly interested in this. The animation was pretty cool aswell. Your style rocked in this movie becuase of your animating style, the feel to the movie and the simple message. Animating style was unique as i said earlier, i loved the feel partly becuase of the music, and the simple message" Relax" was presented very well. The sound was great. Though there werent many sound effects or maybe any at all, the song was awesome and so was the audio quality. The song really set the mood well.Good Choice!

Overall it was very good and i enjoyed it quite a bit. Keep up the awesome work. By the way if it was longer i would have given a 5!!!! 4/5

LaserKarl responds:

Thank you, thank you again. Man, that review must have taken more time to write than to watch the moive itself. Thanks once more!

[Stirred Not Shaken: TWINE]

Haha That was awesome!

Fantastic job on this! An awesome final product! Definitely great fun to watch! I mainly have nothing bad to say about this but there are a few minor problems i'd like to say.

To start, the graphics were awesome. I absolutely loved the animating style you have. The detail in your drawings was pretty cool, for example in bonds hair there were multiple colour shades. Good work on the detail! The animation was generally very good except one thing,(one of those problems i was talkin about earlier), the walking and running could have been animated better. It seems their legs didnt move all that much when walking. Other than that animation was awesome.Style was great too. With help from your animating style, this was also well presented, amazing fun to watch and a parody on james bond! LOL excellent combination for style here. Sound was pretty good aswell. I liked the sound effects quite a bit and the voice acting was very good, becuase of great expression and totally different voices for each character. Audio quality was not quite the best around but it was good enough to do the job. Violence, i love saying this : There was enough violence to satisfy any craving you may have! Not too guresome either!!! Now to the last aspect of flash:humourm which was obviously great in this movie. There were really some great jokes throughout, especially the one at the end. LOL

Overall it was awesome. So much fun to watch, and its always a pleasure to see great work from soem returning artists!!!! 5/5

Wonchop responds:

Thanks. I was pretty new to getting walking done correctly. Plus I forgot to give Renard knees ^^;

[Fun With Fire]

Haha totally rox!!!

You guys always rock. I love your work guys. Always with the awesome ideas and hilarious jokes! This secures you guys with a spot in my Favourite authors list.Congrats!

The graphics are great as always. I just love your animating style. the graphics never fail to impress me. The awesome colours, awesome animation and the comedy of it all. Its really easy to see what is going on due to great drawings and great animation. Obiviously i really like your style. First the animating style which ties into both graphics and style, is awesome as always. I love the feel to this particular movie, just waiting for that jar to explode. The anticipation was a great addition to the movie. Sound rocked. Awesome music throughout with very good audio quality. All the songs really helped the mood pop out there! Also the sound effects throughout were funny and just great overall. Obviously there was a big humour element in this. I laughed my ass of when the jar exploded. Just hilarious!!

Overall this was jsut great. I really cant get enough of your work guys. Please keep up the awesome effort!! 5/5

TmsT responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked this. It was fun to make. But us "guys" are just me, and whoever inspires me. TmsT is mostly a one man band, with lots of helpful suggestions and inspiration from people like you. :)

[Green: Wicked Ways Ep.5]

this was cool.

Definitely cool. I dont think ive seen a comic before, or not one this good submitted to newgrounds. It was a different experience and i enjoyed it.

I liked the graphics. The drawings definitely rocked. One thing is for certain, this is the best animated comic ive seen on Newgrounds. Ive seen some poor Nurse joy pron ones but yeah thts it. I wouldnt compare those to this. The style was great, i liekd this comic. Its a fairly unqiue way to animate on NG, and it just looked cool to me. Thanks for making the speech bubbles dissapear rather than making us press a button everytime. Sound was good, but since it was a comic no sounds could really happen. Only the song had sounds there and maybe one or two KzzK's of the phone thingy. Nice audio quality by the way.

Overall, very well done. I enjoyed it and i think many other people did too. Keep up the awesome work! PLEASE!!! 4/5

Thomas51471 responds:

Thank you all for the great reviews. These reviews have been the best ones we have ever had to date. It is wonderful that we have such a fan base and that our work is appreciated. We are currently working on the 6th episode and will release it soon. Again thank you all for getting us ranked in the top 5 movies of the day. Your support is what keeps us going.

[LL- Dont Stay]

The reign of the lock legion continues!

Again you guys all did a fantastic job. Ever since Lock Day 2005 i think you guys have earned so much respect, espeically from me. Before lock day i only liked a couple of your movies, one being Hotel California. Since that day has past there have been at least 5 ones that i really liked. you guys have truely improved. The graphics in this are great as always. The animation is always smooth and i love all your guys' cartoony animating style. Style is great, i cant get enough of the collaborations you do all the time. The songs you pick are always cool and seem to be well thought out. This song was no exception, im not a big fan of linkin park but you definitely made it work in this movie. It would have been cool to see a collab with Numb, but thats just an opinion thing. There was some violence and some entries had some humour aswell. So those are some good additions.

In the future it would be awesome to make a collab using a blink-182 song, such as Adam's Song, I Miss You, or Down. Please keep up the awesome work guys!! 5/5

BobtehLog responds:

Hehe thanks, Yes we have been pumping movies out at the moment, certainly more than CC, anyways thanks for the 5

[Tails and his GBA 2]

ha prettty good.

I liked it. Definitely fun to watch and it did have a good story. Graphics were pretty good. You are very good with sprites, certainly one of the best ive seen on newgrounds. They were the most detailed sprites youve ever seen but you really made it work. Style was good becuase of the text boxes, no clicking buttons to make them switch. Also the 2 options of how the movie goes helped out with style. Sound was good but nothing really special here. I mean the sound effects were cool, the songs were good at a high quality. Its just nothing amazed me here. Good work on this aspect anyways. Humour was good too. There wasnt too much of it becuase im guessing this wasnt a humour based flash. Thats definitely okay in this case. And yes i do want to see more Strong bad killins, he has gotten old and really unfunny.

Overall this was well done. It was a blast to watch and to review. Please keep it up in the future as newgrounds is always in need of great sprite animators!! 4/5

RupeeClock responds:

Dude, I LOVE Strong Bad! >:(

Anyway, thanks for the nice review. ;)
