Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TomCruiseStrikesBack pt2]

Good job! A solid movie.

This was indeed a good movie, very satisfying for sure. I liked everything about it to the point where i wasnt dissapointed, but not quite amazed. I mean i can complain about some things in this on occasion, but it doesnt change the fact that the final product was very good. All the elements were there but maybe not as strongly as they could have been. Here is my review.

The graphics were good, i was very impressed at the beginning, and im sorry to say they went a bit downhill from there. The drawings overall were just good, and same goes for most of the backrounds. The animation wasnt quite there, for example it wasnt all that smooth most of the time and the facial expressions were either dull or non existant. Colours were pretty decent though. The style of this movie was great, you got to commend effort and im sure this had a lot of it. The length was awesome, it was very long but not to the point where it was too long. Either that or you did a great job of making the movie always humourous and exciting. Work on your animating style a little bit though. The sound was also good, however most of the 7 there is represented by variety and effort again. The sounds were ok most of the time. But they often seemed out of place. The voice acting was good, until i listened to each of the voices and they really didnt sound all that different, work on more expressions next time. And the sound effects were decent as well, but i mean the footsteps you had in one scene were totally out of place because you never had them in any other scene. The humour was good, i liked the guy who ate everything!

Overall this was a good movie, very fun and wild at some points. I liked both episodes so far and i really want to see the next one. Keep it up!

Great! Drive through movies are funny!

Nice work on this man in every aspect, and to me this was a good first choice for a review for the day. Well i liked this in every way, though there are some things i would have liked to see done differently, which i will explain later. Cool idea and all, theres not much else i can say here , soo here is my review!

The graphics were in my opinion the most impressive thing about this short movie. The drawings were superb in terms of detail, colour and overall look and style. The characters looked real to an extent, with kind of a cartoony flair. The detail in the cars and backrounds were quite good too. All of this shows great effort, and effort goes a long long way! The style of this was great, though the length could have been better. The animating style was wonderful, i hope you can make more movies like that. I didnt like however that you seemed to get lazy when you put in the "hours later notices" because they were only a simple black screen with plain text. You could have animated a little more in my opinion. Having said that i liked the idea and the presentation up until that point. The sound was great too, the radio voice was great,it really sounded as if he was speaking through one of those radios. The voice acting was all good actually, and the same goes for the sound effects.

Overall this was a really good movie, fun to watch and it would even be fun to listen to. Well i hope this isnt the last of your great movies that i see, keep making movies man!

[A Link to the Past]

Way to go guys.

I actually liked this movie quite a bit. I usually dont review the things with lower scores. But with this i felt the need to review it. Possibly because its a tribute to perhaps the greatest series of games of all time, or it could have just been a good moive or it could even be both of these possibilities combined. Here is my review.

The graphics, well theres not much in terms of actual animation, but there was some sprites and seeing so many different pictures of zelda games brought back many great memories,especially the Ocarina of Time pictures as it is my favourite game of all time. I didnt like the old school looking pics of link, all animated with long brown hair and a completely different look that what we know him best as. You should have taken those out and put some others in. The style of this was also very good, it was a tribute to the Zelda series...i mean just that alone is a satisfying style. But you did it with some flare. Having a wide vairety of pics from a wide variety of games. The sound was excellent for sure. You cant go wrong with official Zelda music, its just so awesome. And i love what you did right after you showed the pictur of the gamecube where you mixed the Wind Waker tune with the music playing the whole way through.

Overall this was a good movie, i personally really enjoyed it. Maybe just because its a tribute to Zelda, but i hope not. Its good to see you even put twilight princess pictures in it too. You should make another tribute, but even better than this after the release of Twilight Princess. Good work guyz!
4/5

[BERSERK-a plot story]

Random humour at its finest!

I have never seen random humour done in such great fashion! Usually random humour doesnt go on for long either! So obviosuly this came out pretty original. Well maybe some people wouldnt like random humour like this but i sure did. Not only that but everything else in this movie was done well. Theres nothing else i can say here, so here is my review.

The graphics were great. At some points i was extremely impressed with the drawings and the detail within them, for example when everyone was running across the bridge. The backrounds were decent, but dont think they quite fit in with the rest of the graphics. I think in the backrounds the colours were a bit off, and often there wasnt quite enough detail. The characters were drawn very nicely, the detail in them was great, however. The animation was good because it really it had its moments. The style was awesome in this movie, as i already mentioned in the opening paragraph, the random sense of humour is something that is rarely done well. And you did it well with this movie. The idea..wait there wasnt one! lol. Either way the presentation was great, it really showed off your style of humour and the types of submissions you will be submitting in the future..hopefully. The sound was awesome too, i liked the voice acting and all the other voices were funny too. Nice sound effects and good choice of music. The sound added a lot to the movie as a whole.

Overall this was a really good movie despite it being plotless and totally random. It was plotless and random in a good way, and that is something you almost never see. Keep up the great work!

[CU- Flim Flam]

Great work guys!

Another great movie from the creators of College University. You guys have a really good sense of humour, and some serious talent to go along with it. I loved the CU series and its good to see more good movies coming from you. Well this one reminded me of your other movies in a good way. This movie was good or better in every way i can think of, here is my review.

The graphics were really good, as they always are with your movies. The drawings are great, and if you didnt read who made the movie, just by the character design you should be able to recognize its your stuff. The colours are great, they really make the graphics look that much better. Not to mention the animation which does almost the same thing. The style of this movie was great, not all thanks to your animating style. The idea is simply clever, i mean i dont know where you come up with it. But it was funny for sure, thanks to a great presentation. The sound was great as well, but i did have one big problem with it, the quality. The audio quality was fairly fuzzy throughout. I mean the file size is small so you can get the quality better than that for sure. Other that that, the sound effects were cool and sometimes kind of funny. The voice acting was quite good as well, but i must say i didnt like the jingle at the end much.

Overall this was a great movie, im glad i went back to look for other great submissios, i might have missed this one. Well congrats again guys, i hope the DVD sales are going nicely. Keep it up!

[Megaman's Anniversary]

A little different, but very good nonetheless.

Wow, another hit from Quimera, even though with this name youve only had a couple. I have liked you guys for a while now, before Mixed in Balamb for sure. Well from such good authors you expect good submissions, and this definitely lived up to my expectations. And i will say congrats on another successful movie, i hope you can continue to get even better. Here is my review.

The graphics were awesome, just what id expect from you guys. It almost seems since you changed your name that your graphics have improved or maybe its just me. But either way the drawings were great, its good to see you still have your style put into it. The detail was good as usual, nicely used. The backrounds were great, sometimes they lacked some depth and detail however. The animation was really impressive though. It was often quite smooth, and just plain cool to look at. The style of this movie was awesome as well. I liked your animating style, and there were some more reasons why i liked style. The idea is very good actually. Usually to show someone's appreciation for something, they do it in "tribute" form. You did this as if megman was having a party or soemthing and i found that quite cool. Very nice sound too, everything worked together nicely. Great voice acting, even if it was in japanese. Good sounds and music.

Overall this was another great movies from you guyz. You got soem talent and im glad that hasnt gone unnoticed on this site. Well i hope you can keep it up!

Thanks man, it's good to hear people not whining for insignificant stuff like 'my hero megaman was offended' and that you actually did analyze the movie. thanks

[Ryo the ninja KID ep 2]

Wow this is what you call awesome!

This was seriously some really awesome stuff man. I willsay right of the bat that was was intensely better than the first Ryo the ninja KID, even though i still gave that one a 5. I mean you improved on everything i can think of, and some that i probably didnt even notice. I did notice what looked like a massive increase in effort, everything just that much more refined and smooth looking. Well this is good enough to be on the top page, and for sure the top 50.
Here is my review.

The graphics while they werent 100% perfect, were definitely good enough for a 10, and not only because they were greatly improved over the previous episode. The drawings were awesome, i like your unique and original character design. The detail also appearded very well done in this episode, except maybe the grass you use a bit, just like i said last time. The colours are nice, i guess you could say they almost bring that world to life, or at least they help to. The animation is what really impresssed me in this movie, it was incredible. The 3D looking stuff was so damn cool, like the bullet scene there. And everything fit together so nicely. The style was also good enough for a 10 as well. The animating style was quite good as i mentioned earlier. But it wasnt only thing that i liked. The idea is nothing 100% original, but its a different type of ownage you dont usually see. I mean no blood, or gross brains or anything. Its just comic mischief and i love that kind of stuff. The presentation was awesome, many parts reminded me of the matrix and this is a good thing. I liked the use of slowmotion on the big hits in other words. The presentation was awesome, it really made me go "wow" by the end of it. The sound was perfect, well just about. The sound effects were enjoyable to listen to, and often quite cool. Everything seemed in sync at all times as well. But the big thing that impressed me here is the music. Wow man, you chose many different great songs to fit each mood it seemed like. They were all chosen perfectly as well.

Overall this was an awesome movie, and it was a big improvement over the last episode. I just loved this one, it will probably be going into my favourites in a matter of seconds. This deserves a spot in the top 50 for sure. I hope you can keep this up!
