Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Burger Time]

Way to go!

Great work on this. I really liked everything about this. I guess this would be even better if i played Burger Time, but anyways in my review i will briefly explain each aspect.

The graphics were very good, except a few lapses in the animation. It was a little odd and choppy at some points. Other than that...the drawings were good. I liked the character design a lot. The colours were very pleasant to watch and i liked most of the animation. Your style was great for a couple reasons, but the biggest thing here is your idea. It was totally original and creative and it also kind of made of a somewhatr famous game. Your animating style helped out both the visuals and your overall style. The feel was good, it felt a tiny bit suspenseful when the dad was about to be woken up. The sound was also very well done. I loved the voice acting because of its great expression. The sound effects were great, but i espeically liked the one of the guy slamming the bed. There was a good humour element in this, and i enjoyed that.

Overall you did a great job, congrats on all the success,and i hope you can continue to improve on everything. Keep it up in the future! 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

[VisionTribe Tribollox]

A little different but good work.

This was one of the most unique flash i have ever seen. I mean the idea was original, and the way you presented it was different too. Everything was done well anyways, in my review i will briefly explain each aspect.

Great work on the graphics, your animating style is a little different than most. The drawings were nice, and its obvious you put a lot of effort into them. They seemed to be well thought through and also they looked refined and polished. The backrounds were good, and they did the job of creating a real setting, for example in the kitchen with the cuboards in the backround. The shadow effects were really good, they almost looked real. The animation was smooth and just good. Your style was good as well. Your animating style, as i said, is unique but still very cool. You put effort into things that most authors wouldnt do, like the shadows. I just didnt particularily enjoy the pace of this movie, i felt it was too fast and some points and slow at others. Or maybe it was the feel of this that i didnt really enjoy.The idea was good too. Anyways great style overall. The sound was very good in this too, i just wish you used music. I think thats what might have been lacking in the feel. Other than that the sound was very good because of the sound effects, and the voice acting, which had a lot of expression. The humour in this was not bad, it came from the idea in my opinion.

Overall this was very good, and definitely deserving of its high score. Congrats on the success of this movie and its a shame you wont be making any flash for a while, because you got some talent. 4/5

[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.

[-Prodigious Amalgamation-]

Great collaboration!!

Great work everyone who put something into this, the final product was fantastic. Nothing bad about this, unless you want to count the audio quality. What i did is i watched the first bit of the NG version and then i rezlied there was another one with better quality, so in the end i watched both, because on the good quality version you couldt see the whole screen. So anyways in my review i will explain each aspect with a little detail.

The graphics were awesome throughout. I loved each and every animating in this. No one seemed to put less effort than the next guy, and thats great to see. Some had great backrounds, others effectively used no backrounds. The colours were wacky in some as well, it just really made this fun to watch. The animation was some of the best FBF i have seen. All of your styles were really nice, and seemed to be well though through. The feel was cool and random is most of the clips. I must comment on Zombies, which was totally different than the others. This was probably my favourite one because of that.The sound was bad on NG version, but great on the other version. On the good version everything was clear. I like the choice of songs, and i liekd how there was a different song for every clip.

Overall you guys all did great. Congrats on a very successful collab and i say its definitely one of the better ones i have seen. Anyways make more, i need it! 4/5

[McDarnold's (Superseded)]

LOL nice work man!

Great job on this, i dont have anything bad to say about this other than that it was too short. Other than that i loved everything and a will explain everythin quickly in my review.

The graphics were great, and just loveable actually. The drawings were so smooth and the backrounds were extremely detailed, sometimes they almost looked real. The colours were very pleasant to look at, and your animating style just cant go unnoticed. The animation was very smooth as well. Never choppy! Your overall style is good except for the length issue. Your animating style helps both the graphics and overall style, and as i mentioned your animating style was very good. The feel was pretty funny in this movie as well. The sound was great, mostly because of the voice acting. But you also had a few good sound effects, so sound points come from there too. The voice acting was great, it was really funny and had some nice expressions. The audio quality was great! The humour in this was great as well. I just wish there was time for more jokes. It was really funny when the doctor started making those sounds, of what it would be like when the kid exploded.

Overall this was very good, and congrats on the high score. This definitely deserves it. Anyways make the next episode longer and i will be looking forward to it either way. 4/5
