Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jedi Duels]

Sweet! Better than the first episode!

This was awesome! Not jus because of humour but many other reasons as well. I will break it down, telling you everything that i liked and maybe some things i didnt like in my review.

The graphics first off were great. I adore your animating style, the huge eyes and out of proportion heads. LOL Really unique and great all the same. The animation was pretty good, it was extremely easy to see what was going on at all times. The backrounds were well drawn and you made the environment look just like a swamp. Its hard to capture the actualy envrionment like that so well. Great graphics overall!!

Great style in this movie as well. This ties in with your great animating style. The feel to the movie was awesome, it really seemed liked a Jedi Duel, but with the addition of some humour. Your character designs are unique and it seems you try to set yourself apart from the crowd. Your style was near perfect overall!!!

Sound was great, with the exception of the slightly fuzzy audio quality. The sound effects were great, some seemed realistic when they had to, and when the mood was more funny, the sound effects did the job. The music was chosen well, i noticed some of it was from the Matrix, which you seem to be a fan of. Every song suit and helped create the mood very well. The voice acting was probably the best part about the sound. The characterisation was awesome, great expression and some of it was even funny. I really loved the sound overall.

Again i liked the violence, like the 2 great games that entered the portal today. It was not gruesome or gory or excessive. It was the perfect amount for any violence craving. No blood or disgusting parts so more ages can watch it.

I know you have a great sense of humour, and this furthered my belief. Your animating style is just funny, and also the jokes in this case. The voice acting really enhanced some of the jokes and made them even funnier. The funniest part in my opinion was where they start throwing rocks at him. LOL

Overall this was awesome. I hope you can continue making greta flash in the future. Until next time! 5/5

MetalMaverick responds:

Glad you liked it. Although, there is no Matrix music in this. All my music is pulled straight from the Empire Strikes Back and Phantom Menace soundtracks.

Great haha!!

Really good job on this. I always love high quality cartoons! Especially with a creative style, kind of like The Road Runner cartoons. But it wasnt just the style that made me like this, it was many things which i will say in my review.

First off the graphics were great. The starting graphics were all that good but they rapidly got better from there. I loved the characters both were drawn very well and they were well designed.
The old guy is a very memorable character. The actual animation was awesome too, some of the expressions on the character's faces were hilarious and the animation was very smooth. Obviously at some parts the graphics were better than others. Awesome graphics overall.

Your style in this movie was great. I loved our animating style, and the animating style also helps out with graphics. The feel to this was awesome, i couldnt help but enjoy myself while watching this. You made it upbeat and in doing so no one can dislike this, unless of course they have problems. Really great style overall!

Sound was also pretty good. I liked the sound effects that you did have, but i felt at some parts you could have used a little more. The song was the sounds best part, it was clear, funny, cool, and most importantly it set the mood extremely well. The out of control laughter and the dinosaur "roar" sound effects were used very well, you combined them with some hilarious animation.

The humour element in this was very strong. Funny moments the entire way through. There were some parts that i liked more than others such as when the old guy fell out of the tree after the branch broke, he got up and roared like a dinosaur. Some of the expressions on his face were laugh out loud funny.

Overall this rocked. I really enjoyed it, well i couldnt help but enjoy it anyways. Please keep up the amazing work in the near future!!! 5/5

[Where do clams come from]

That was mighty creative!!!!

Very creative idea there! Everything was great and made by a girl. Its not everyday you see a girl make something so awesome. I was really impressed with everything in this. From graphics to idea all was done well. I will tell you everything in detail in my review.

I absolutely love the graphics. They were incredible in my opinion, its so hard to make graphics that awesome. The drawings were amazing and they had a really cool style to them. The colours were awesome, especially at the sunset. You really captured the real feeling of a sunset. The thing i was most impressed about is the actual animation. It was honestly perfect, the best animation that i have seen on Newgrounds. It was sooooo smooth and there were absolutely no choppy parts. The lines stay smooth and jus OMG perfect animation! Amazing visuals overall!!!!

The style was also pretty damn good, though it seems not as many people agree with me this time. I loved your animating style in this movie. It was like in a professional cartoon. I think many people are not liking the story, but i found it one of the best parts of this movie. It was extremely creative and the ending was very unexpected. This was an extremely original idea, presented very very well. Awesome work on this aspect.

The sound was so close to perfect i had to give yet another 10. I loved the songs as they were just plain cool, but also because they did the job in this. They helped create the mood, and fit the animating style very well and this is not easy to do. The sound effects were pretty cool as well. I liked every sound you put in, they all seemed to be very well chosen for this type of movie.

There was a bit of violence and some humour to top it off. The humour came from the ending where the guy was turned into a clam and all the others clams were looking pissed off. I smiled at that part and the humour element was a really nice addition to tihs.

Overall i think it deserves the high score it has, or if anything it should be higher. Thanks for the few minutes of amusement!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE AND PLEASE LEAVE A RESPONSE!!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!! 5/5

Belka responds:

Thank you for such a detailed review :) It shows that you really paid attention to the movie, and I appreciate this very much. I'm particularly pleased that you've noticed the effects people usually take for granted, while it takes quite an effort to make them - such as sunset coloring :) I'm also glad that you liked the story, because, indeed, it's a bit strange and some people don't understand it. I'm sorry I can't write a long response, It's difficult, for me to express my feelings in english :) Thank you once again :)

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 2]

Wooo what a finish!!!!!

That was a fantastic finish to a fantastic movie. It was so professional, and my respect for you and the clock crew has grown even more. This is one of the best 2 part flash Newgrounds has to offer. This was amazing for many reasons.

Since i reviewd the last one in such detail i will just breifly summarize each aspect. The graphics were great, a very good imrpovment on other clock movies. Great storyline and style. Like in the movies. Sound, better than any other clock crew movie i have seen. The robotic voices were much better. Nice amount of violence. Good little interactivity points because of the menus and extras. In this one there was more humour than Part 1, i liked the part where Strawberry threw the file at the gaurd and where banana lock was shot in the crotch.

Overall it was an amazing 2 part series and it was great in length. In total what was it like 20-25 minutes? Anyways very good and i cant wait for more!!! 5/5

[Lilium]

This was beautiful......

Its amazing how there are like 5 or 6 flash in the new submissions column right now with such incredible scores, this is one of them. It definitely deserves the high score it has. This is a master piecenot flash, but a piece of art. Truely amazing work, i will tell you the reasons i loved it in my review.

The graphics were fantastic. Your artwork is astonishing. I really like the screen, with those designs on the interior border. The drawings were superb and there arent really words i can use to describe them. Im surprised you havent submitted anything to Newgrounds before with your incredible talent. There were no problems with the graphics what so ever, nothing to improve on here.

Your style was, well how can i put it PERFECT or FLAWLESS. It really was amazing how you presented the movie. Again with your art style and the really cool screen. The feel to this movie seemed like a mystery of some sort, and its different. I really enjoyed watching this , a big reason goes to the feel. Just really unique. The story was tough to understand but after i watch it once or twice more im sure i will understand it. Amazing style overall.

The sound was also really well done, despite having only one song for the sound. The audio quality was good, but more importantly the song was sort of scary and it really created a mood that made this really amusing. A truely different choice for music but it definitely did the job.

Overall this is a masterpiece. It deserves every single bit of good feed back its getting. Congrats on the high score. This is a potential daily winner(hard to tell becuase there are 4 things today alone that have above a 4.30) Please keep it up!!! 5/5

[Dog V.S Jesus - Part One]

Wow nice work.

You got a pretty weird mind, but in this case its a good thing you do. This idea was pretty funny especially if your in any way religious. I will say everything i really liked in my review.

The graphics were awesome, the animation being the best part. Drawings were funny at some points and just plain great at others. I absolutely love the character designs, especially the dogs. LOL with their out of proportion eyes and such. Jesus has never looked so evil before, you did a great job of making seem evil. And the animation was just awesome. There were some points in this where the camera was extremely well done. And everything ran so smoothly, i dont know how but they did. By the way cool animating style, simple yet refined.

Style was really good in this movie, from your animating style, to your unique idea and plot to the overall feel to the movie. As i said nice animating style, but you had a good idea and plot as well. The second episode will hopefully finish up the story very well. The feel to the movie was kind of like in a real movie when both the good sides and bad sides are assembling their army.

Sound was great. Good music and well chosen for this flash, fit and created the mood. The sound effects were pretty good, it gave the movie a more professional feel. The sound overall helped out with the feel of the movie.

Humour, you got humour points from the whole idea, but also from how Jesus acted in that movie. Hes the most religious figure out there and in this he was like a blood thirsty evil leader. The complete opposite of what he is said to be.

Overall this was very good and im glad you were able to finish it. I cant wait for Part 2, the anticipation!!! Nice job! 5/5

[Auron's Story Chapter 1]

Sweet i wasnt expecting humour!

That was really good, and i enjoyed it. But i think it was a little slow getting going and the credits at the begining went by very slow. Im sure nobody actually watched them so why put them in?
Anyways this was well done in every aspect, you definitely did a good job of making this fun to watch.

The graphics were good, though i had mixed opinions about them. Generally very good but sometimes the animation got a little rough and it was a little difficult to make out one thing from the next. Thats the only critique i have for graphics. The character designs were pretty cool and the drawings were great. I have honestly never seen an animating style like that so it was really nice to see. Nice graphics overall.

Great style, once again with your animating style. The feel to the movie also helped out in this case. I wasnt expecting any humour what so ever, so that was a very pleasant surprise.

All the elements of sound were intact but you lacked one thing, good audio quality. Awesome music, voice acting and sound effects but the audio quality wasnt all that good. The songs set the mood well and the voice acting had good expression. I just with the mic wasnt so fuzzy. Anyways i really liked the sound overall.

There was some violence in tihs and some interactivity in the cool looking menus.

The humour was actually pretty good in this. I was expecting an epic tale but it came out as a comedy mostly. I laughed at some parts, but i really enjoyed the part where he started dancing to "Switch". LOL it was funny and i love the song.

Overall this was well done in every aspect. Try to improve audio quality in the next episode. Great job overall!! 4/5

[Malltime Musings 4]

Hahaha really made me laugh.

I still stick to my word when i say this is one of the funniest series on Newgrounds. This was just as great as the other three episodes. I will break everything down in my review.

The graphics were good as usual, and also as usual is the lack of realy animation. There was some movement in the characters, but not quite enough. The backround could use a little clearing up as well. The drawings are pretty funny, so the graphics were good overall.
I love your style, just cramming a short movie with comedy. Its great, you cant not like this series and if somehow you do then you suck! The animating style is pretty different from what ive seen but its still good. This epsiode was a little werider than the others.
Sound was really good in this. I loved the voice acting and the sound effects that you did have were pretty good. Each one of the characters voices have good expression and volume. And really nice audio quality.
There was so much humour in this, it was hard to keep track of. I especially liked the part where somebody said" Youre just mad cuz you werent in it" LOL.

Overall this was very good and i had a lot of fun watching this. Keep up the great work!! 4/5

[Circuit Skirmish]

Holy shit!

Now that is what you call fucking incredible. I have only been amazed like this with a select few submissions. There She is step 2, Prowlies at the River, Bloodsucker, a few others and now this. This was honestly amazing and by far the best thing you have created. This is without a doubt going in my favourite submissions.
Everything was done exceptionally well, jus flat out amazing! I will say everything i liked in my review.

The graphics were incredible and by far the best graphics that i have seen from you, and thats saying alot because all your stuff has been great. The robots were perfectly drawn, they looked 3D and the colours of them were great. Well actually all the colours in this movie were absolutely awesome. The animation was very smooth, and it seemed to fit your animating style perfectly. By the way the animating style rocked in this movie. I just loved the Robot designs very much, both the good robot and the bad robots had a very unique design, the antennas on their heads looked pretty cool. There were absolutely no lagging issues or timing problems on my computer. Its a great thing than you were able to suck him out of your cerebral cortex and animate him. Some of the best graphics i have seen!

Your style in this ,movie was perfect. From the character designs to the animating style to the overall feel to the movie, all of which were brilliant. As i said earlier the character designs were unique but still awesome. The animating style in this movie is hard to explain for me. Kind of realistic, but in the backrounds you kept a cool kind of professional cartoon like thing. LOL The feel to the movie was very very cool thanks to everything really. You did a good job of making the viewers really want the good robot to win. Your style was damn good overall.

The sound was fantastic in this. I really loved the many sound effects all of which were clear and easy to hear. Since you had so many it made the movie seem professional. On my computer everything was perfectly insync. The songs and pieces of music really helped create the mood, intense at some points and kind of heroic at other points. To top it all off the audio quality was exceptional. Amazing sound overall.

There was a lot of violence, but not the guresome kind that some people may find disturbing. It was really just action violence and thats always good when used properly. There was enough violence in this to satisfy a violence craving. There was definitely a small humour elementin this aswell. no laugh out loud parts but there were a couple that made me smile , such as when the good robot jumped off the roof and didnt land properly. Another funny part was at the end "Bad Robos Destroyed". LOL

Overall this was absolutely incredible. This is the kind of flash that people look up to and get inspired by. Seriously this is a masterpiece and congrats on the really high score! Make more please!!!! 5/5
