Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mustang]

Wow this was cool!

This was definitely cool, and out of the ordinary. Its not everyday you see a flash like this, with such a different feel to it. This has some of the elements of a pro animation that Ford could really use. I will explain each element in detail in my review.

The graphics were awesome, and really topped everything off. The car looked awesome and very cool. The drawings of everything was cool too, i liked how the creatures and the person at the end were kind of animated in silouhette form. The backrounds looked great, it seems you put a lot of effort into making them look great. Your animating style was awesome in this. The colours were fairly simple but this was your aniomating style, simple colours yet used very effectively to make it seem like a desert in the evening. The animation was really good too, everything was smooth. Awesome graphics overall.

Your style was great too. Your animating style also helps out with overall style and as i said it was pretty good and also unique. The feel to the movie was cool, it really felt like "getting away" as i wacthed this. The mood was pretty much the same thing. You did a good job of making this amusing aswell. There was only one review so far that said it was boring. The rest were very positive about it. Again with this being like a commercial, was done well.

The sound was very cool. I have one complaint about the audio quality which was a little rough in this. But the song itself was awesome and i really enjoyed it. It fit the mood and helped make it grow very well. I was wondering when i saw the "real" people play this, if it was like your band or something. Did you make the song? Anyways nice job on sound.

Overall this was great, fun to watch and it had elements of professional work. Please keep up the great work in the future!!! 4/5

[FF: Mixed in Balamb2(3/3)]

Way to end it!

This was great and it was one hell of an episode. Will there be an episode 3, or like a Mixed in Balamb 2(4/3)?!?! All these questions, but no answers. Anyways i think i might have like (2/3) better but this still rocked. The one before this was longerm and that allows more time for jokes and stuff. I will explain everything from graphics to the humour element in my review!

The graphics were just as good as in (2/3). I find them very good because of the lip synce throughout, but also the character drawings. Character designs were all detailed and very well done. I think they look pretty accurate compared to the real game. The backrounds and environments were pretty detailed as well, though there were some parts where i think the environments lacked a tiny bit of detail. The animation was smooth even on the highest quality. Something that sets this apart from the other flash on Newgrounds is the effort you put into the main menu. Probably the most detailed menu that i have seen. Graphics were very nice overall.

Awesome style too! Its always great to see tributes and parodies to great games. I like your animating style, because its different from the usual. I find it hard to explain this difference, however. The feel to this particular part is a little different than the rest, as this one was basically action. Also you did a good job of not making fun of the game to the point that some one gets angry. Very nice style overall.

The sound was great in this. Every aspect about it was well done. The sound effects were nearing the professional flash point. There were a lot but i think there could have been a few more in some parts. They sounded pretty good in terms of accuracy..ifthat makes any sense. The music set the mood well and some of it was very cool.It also helped create a nice mood. The voice acting was awesome just like in the other episodes. Great individuality to each character and great expression. To top it off audio quality was good.

The humour was better in (2/3) i think, that could have been because its longer. There were more jokes and obviously more scenes in that one. I dont think i laughed out loud in this one like i did the last at the Riddle part. There was definitely a few smiles in this though and my favourite part would have to be the Dracula
fight.

Overall this was very good. I cant wait until you guys come up with more stuff to submit to NG. Either way keep them great! RESPOND TO THIS IF YOU CAN!!!! 5/5

Toonimated responds:

Thanks dude. Hmmm I dont of continue this or not. I read all the reviews, and this one was very detailed. Thanks!

[The Real Legend]

Haha AND Holy shit at the same time!

This had the best of both worlds. Insane graphics combined with the ultimate sense of humour. It gave me mixed feelings of AMAZED and LMFAO at the same time. I actually saw this for the first time a long time ago, probably a month after it actually came out. Having got my account in december this was about a year old. I actually forgot to review this until now so here is my review, i will explain each aspect in detail. RESPOND if you can.

The graphics were some of the best i have seen. They were amazing then and they are still amazing by todays standards. The detail in each drawing was incredible. You never got lazy on anything. The environments really reminded me of Ocarina of Time, the greatest game of all time, especially the first scene where Link and Navi were coming up to the castle. Also the part where Link came up to the temple of time, and Death Mountain was visible in the backround. The backrounds were awesome too, you put alot of effort even into those. They all looked amazing man. The animation was sweet, very good and funny at times. It was smooth and despite the detail in the drawings ,it was easy to see what was going on. Awesome graphics overall.

Style was perfect in this movie. I loved your animating style first of all. It was obviously very detailed, and the character design was awesome. Link looked great and hilarious too! The feel to the movie was awesome too, you did a good job of capturing the same feelings i had while playing the game. The whole idea was probably the most important component of this movie's style. This was sort of a tribute and a parody of in my opinion the greatest game of all time. You never butchered the game, to the point where I got mad, but you picked out some parts and made fun of them.

The sound was awesome too. It was rare to find flash that were done professionally like this, with many different sound effects throughout the whole thing. They sounded pretty accurate too. It was awesome to hear those songs again, especially the Song of Time and the song playing as the Door of Time opens. The voice acting was also pretty good, nice job to all the actors. I realized the audio quality wasnt great, but theres an excuse for that: the file size. This movie is bigger than most movies i have seen even to this day, June 12 2005.

Now to the humour, which was FANTASTIC!!! I was laughing my ass off the entire way through the first time i watched it. And even today i laugh at parts here and there after watching it like 5 times.
In my opinion the funniest part was where Link drops the spiritual stone. It shatters and he looks petrified!!!LOL Another awesome part was where it looks like hes gonna get a stallion but instead gets a small donkey.

Overall this was awesome by 2003s standards and even todays. I hope you can continue with these incredible flash. I hope episode 3 comes soon!!! 5/5

[Warrior Boarder 2]

Good!

This was definitely good. Im not which one i liked better this one or the last one. It is a very tough choice. Anyways this was good for many reasons, though again i think it could have been toned down a little, because some parts were a bit corny. I will explain each aspect in my review.

The graphics were great to an extent. The drawings alone were pretty good but when you began to animate with them it got tough sometimes to see exactly what the characters were doing. You really got to work on the animation of running. The animation itself was smooth. The backrounds were pretty good at some points. The buildings looked pretty good as well. Your animating style is good, a little different too.

Your style had its highs and lows in this movie, in general your animating style was good, but it really got weird looking when there was a lot of punches and kicks being thrown. The character is pretty cool but i suggest you give more time for him to develop a personality. That way some of us reviewers can connect with the character. The bad guy was pretty cool aswell. Some parts were pretty cool i must admitt but others were corny. Like when the outhouse was sliding down the street for quite some time before Warrior Boarder some how caught up with it. Also when the bad dude got hit and went flying through the air for liek hours you made it seem like. I pretty much based your style around how fun it was to watch this, and from an amusement stand point this was very good. Maybe thats why you put those over the top scenes in there.

The sound was good though the sound effects seemed to me used too many times each. Some of them sounded sort of "out of place" as well. The song was really good ,however, for a few reasons. The song was cool by itself then you chose it to go in this. Very well chosen! It fit and helped create the mood i think you were trying to make. The audio quality seemed pretty good.

There was even a bit of a humour element in this. I dont recall any laugh out loud parts but there were a few parts that made me smile. One example would be where the bad guy,after flying through the air, falls directly into police station.

Overall this was very good, despite a few flaws here and there. Everything will come together in time and with practise. Keep it up, icant wait for next Heroic Rage!! 4/5

[Fate: Episode one]

Wow what a first try!!!

This is really hard to believe this is a first try at flash. Probably the best first flash that i have seem on Newgrounds. Everything was done well especially for a first try. Remember you can only get better from here. I will explain eachaspect in my review.

The graphics were good for a first try. They were a little skecthy liek one of the last reviews said. The graphics improve basically with more practise, but they were still better than average. I could tell what was happening most of the time, at other times i had to conectrate a little harder. The colours also come with practise, it seems you used the basic colours. The animation was very good though. Fairly smooth and not choppy throughout. Nice graphics overall.

Style was surprisingly good for a first movie. The only thing that needs improvement here is your animating style, which again comes with practise. But every other thing about style was great. The storyline was awesome, the characters mysterious backround and how you began to explain it makes us all want to come back and watch again. The character design itself was great too. I think everyone is already starting to like the character because of his mysterious backround and cool powers. Cool not corny like many crappy flash ive seen. I personally want to see how the story and the character develops in future episodes. Awesome style overall.

The sound started off very well but when the song stopped everything began to feel a bit dull. The song was very cool and fit the mood of it all very well. The sound effects were good, but they sounded better with the music playing in the backround. The audio quality seemed to be pretty good.

There was some good violence in this. It was a little gruesome but not too bad.

Overall this was awesome for a first try. And even if it wasnt it would still be good. Please keep this series going!! 4/5

[DE_aztec]

LMAO!!!

This was so hilarious!!! HAHA!! I watched this when it came out but i didnt have an account then, so im reviewing it now. Great flash deserve long reviews, and this was great so everything will be explained in detail in my review.

The graphics were surprisingly good for stick men. I think its because you gave each one a different personality and a slightly different look than the others. So it kept the whole thing interesting. The environment really looked like De_Aztec. It was awesome how sometimes you went into the first person view. The ammo, and health around the 1st person view screen was perfectly done. The animation was smooth and even with stick men it was easy to see what was going on. Awesome graphics overall.

Style was perfect, doing a spoof on the most played online game in history. I was a big fan of CS 1.6 and now ive moved on to source but this never gets old. Its still just as funny as it was when i first saw it. The animating style was good other than the stick men, because you put alot of effort into making the entire level look very accurate. Giving them all names was a fantastic addition.

Sound was great. I loved how you used the original sounds from CS 1.6. From the gun fire to the foot steps all seemed to be from the game. Also the radio was great. Like from the camper"Im in Position". LOL. It all seemed just like 1.6 even with stick men just from the sound. There was a great variety of sound effects in this. The music was awesome too, it really helped set the mood i think you were trying to create near the end.

This was funny as hell! I love all the names throughout. "FD God" "noob" "lagger" "SWAT" and the quotes that came along with the names were all funny aswell. And everything that happened was hilarious too. With "Dumbass" dodging bullets by being a complete well Dumbass. All of this was flat out hilarious!

This was amazing overall. I know its kinda late to review it but if you do ever get to reading it leave a response posiibly telling me your next movie. That would be much appreciated. Anyways i really enjoyed this, keep it up! 5/5

[hitchHiker: part Two]

This was amazing!

All your stuff is simply amazing man. I didnt have an account when i first watched this and many other fantastic submissions so i decided that id go back and review some of them. Some of the best visuals on Newgrounds even to this day, June 12 2005. I will explain each aspect in detail in my review.

The graphics when i first saw this were amazing and probably the best i have seen. Even to this day they are quite impressive and still some of the best. Your colouring is great, i could really notice the differnce between Day, Evening and Night. It seems you put alot of effort even into the colours. The drawings were awesome too. The cars looked 3D, and they could have been. The 2 characters were drawn very well. You did a great job of making the big guy look very scary an intimadating, but his personality was almost anything but that. The animation was awesome too, i liked it when the kid was having nightmares or dark thoughts. Amazing visuals overall.

Style was also perfect. In both parts of this story it was basically the same thing, a great story told through flash, and some impressive character designs and an awesome animating style. The story was unique, it is cool how you tell your stories through flash. And the final product of them all prove worthwhile. The kid seemed scared to be alone with that guy, and you did this very well. You gave both characters distinctive personalities. What makes the story more interesting is how it is based on a true story.

Sound was also pretty sweet. The sound effects and music throughout really did the job. Some of the sound effects were scary and others were plain good. The music set the mood very well and that has always been one of your strengths as an artist. The voice acting was awesome. The big guy's voice added to his intimidating appearance. On top of all of that the audio quality was still good.

Overall this was awesome, and its great to see its back up near the very top of the Top50. It still deserves it after coming out over a year ago. If you ever read this then leave a response, perhaps telling me future productions!! 5/5

[Another New Bunny]

Haha nice work!

I have read a couple of the reviews and most of them seem to be saying they liked the first one better, and i think im going to have to agree with that. The first one had a better bunny character, and overall it was much funnier. This one took a little while to start getting funny but the other was funny right off the bat. I will explain everything in detail in my review.

The graphics were good, and id say better than the first in this case because the bunny had more detail. The drawings were good, i think the kids could be a little more detailed but good anyways. The colours were pretty good, those are original colours for a rabbit. The character design was stll pretty good. Your drawing style is pretty good but i felt there could have been more actual animation. Great graphics overall, definitely better than anything i could do.

Your style was great in this one just as the first one. First your animating style was very nice, and secondly you made this fun to watch by making nothing drag on, and boring moments. The feel to the movie was obviously very funny, as there were jokes all the way through. Overall it was an amusing flash to watch, its hard to appeal to such a large crowd so style was great overall.

Sound was good. It was good for basically one reason, the voice acting. It was great in every way. Very nice expressions, and every character had a distinct voice. No characters sounded the same as another. So good job there. The audio quality was also pretty good, but i think it could be just a little bit clearer. This could have used sound effects though, i guess it wasnt totally necessary but it could prove useful to you final score.

The humour element in this was without a doubt very strong in this. A new character provided a new sense of humour which i liked very much. I still think the other one was funnier because there were many more jokes to laugh about. My favourite part in this one is the first time the bunny says something about getting in his van. His expression was hilarious at that point.

Overall this was very good for quite a few reasons. I hope you can continue to make great flash like this in the near future! Once again nice work! 4/5

[College University pt 10]

HaHa nice work guys!

This is just as good if not better than PT 9. Both of them were hilarious for various reasons. Every element was done well in this Part and i will explain each aspect in my review. Great flash deserve long reviews!

The graphics were great as always. I havent always been impressed with your graphics and animation. The drawings were pretty good and i always loved the character design. The characters are funny and well animated. The stadium in the very first scene really impressed me, i havent seen anything drawn so well from you guys ever before so it was a pleasant surprise. Your animating style is good, the way you draw your people is unique and very good. The animation was smooth and clear as to what was going on as always. Graphics were awesome overall.

Your style also never ceases to impress me. A movie crammed full of humour, funny plots and ideas. Just a winning combination really. Plus your animating style helps out with overall style, and as i said animating style was very good. The feel to the movie was great, the parts that needed to feel like a college setting really did feel like one. The graphics did a great job of enhancing the feel to this movie.

Sound was fantastic, despite simply good audio quality. The audio quality was clear enough that you did not need to put subtitles, but they never hurt. The sound effects and music were awesome. A lot of the sound effects added more to some of the jokes and the music helped set the mood very well, well if there was music. The best part about the sound without a doubt is the voice acting. Absolutely comical voice acting, with great expression and i could sense an individuality in each characters voice, and that is very difficult to do consistantly. Awesome sound overall!!!

Now to what this flash is based around:HUMOUR. Perfect in this movie and the last part aswell. You guys both got an awesome sense of humour that obviously hasnt gone unnoticed, and its a great thing it hasnt. There were too many funny parts in this too count so im going to pick out a select few. One of my favourite parts was where he first started playing Ultimate Terror. The voice in that was hilarious. Also when he was liek turning crazy and started smashing the robot with a bat! LOL i laughed out loud at both those parts.

Overall this was great, the weekly awards are going to be extremely tough to had out as i have already seen 5 flash with above a 4.30. This deserves its score and congrats on that. Keep it up cant wait for more. 5/5
