Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 1]

This was fantastic.

This is definitely the best clock movie to date. More effort, better animation and sound than any other clock movie i have see. The trailer created alot of hype and it was definitely worth it. Strange clock, you represent to Clock Crew very well. I will say everything i liked about this in my review.

First of all graphics were better than ive ever seen them by the clock Crew. Probably because there was so much more effort put into this than the others. Strange clock the character is really cool. I have always been puzzled with those crazy designs, so he is really fun to look at during the movie. I guess Strawberry clock is like a hero, well he is the most detailed clock i have seen! The animation is better than ever for you guys and same with your animating style. More backrounds, more drawings and more animation make the graphics awesome overall.

Your style in this movie was so close to perfect i jsut had to give you a 10. The aniamting style not only helps out with graphics, but with overall style aswell. The feel to the movie was awesome because at some points it felt like a real movie. The presentation was almost professional, i can recall movies where similar incidents happened. Its cool that you can make a connecting link between flash and real movies. Due to great presentation style was awesome overall.

Sound was also better in this than any other clock flash that ive seen for a couple reasons. First the robotic voices were not annoying in this one, you did a good job of chosing them. The audio quality was pretty good aswell. It was very easy to hear what they were saying, but the subtitles are always a nice addition. The sound effects were also great. There were so many sound effects, such as foot steps and gun shots. The sound really made this more amusing to watch.

~There was some violence, but not excessive. Some interactivty in the main menu. Cool little additions!~

Now to the humour, this was funny. Once again kind of like in the movies with comedy not being the main idea. There weer some really funny jokes here and there, also some funny occurances. The humour is a great addition to an already great flash.

Overall this was best thing so far this week. I congradulate you on representing the clocks so very well and on the very high score. I cant wait for the next part. Until it comes out time will pass slowly LOL Fantastic job! 5/5

Wow, thanks for the detailed review and praise, my man.

Lol the play button said PIE!

This started off on a good note with the play button saying PIE. It got me ready to one funny ass flash. I will tell you whatr you did well and some things that perhaps could use improvement.

The grahpics were just good. Nothing really impressed me about them but thats sure as hell better than anything i could ever do. The drawings were good, and the animation was aswell. They did seem a little rough and unpolished at times, but good overall.
Your style was really good in this movie. First by stating a cool video game fact then doing a funny skit to back it up. Thats just a great way of presenting things. Really great style overall.
The sound was pretty good. Everything in sound was done well in my opinion. The sound effects were pretty funny, the music was aswell and the voice acting was funny and with great expression. The audio quality was fairly good too.
This was hilarious, im sure you already know i think that because i have said funny like 100 times in my review already. But yeah this really was funny, i really liked the fact where you said Myamoto got his inspiration for mario from his boss. Thats really good and also kind of funny if you think about it. Anyways the skits after the facts were laugh out loud funny. I really thank you for the many laughs.

Overall it was very good. Despite tiny graphical problems, this was very fun to watch. Once again thanks for the many laughs. I will be looking forward to seeing more work by you in the future.!! 4/5

RogerregoRRoger responds:

Okay, glad you liked it.
About graphics, I'm happy if people don't jump screaming trough the windows because of the badness of them, so im a far way from making impressive graphics.
Then again, i don't like to focus the movies on the graphics anway.
The animation was great? it was kinda basic.. but okay, glad you liked it ^^
The audio seems to be a mixed back if i read the comments, but I'm glad everyone seems to like my voice acting at least ^^
thanks for the comment

[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).

[Schoolyard Samurai]

This was cool nice job.

To one of the last reviews, your stupid. Graphics only ok? And what the heel are you talking about your all like "flash has to be totally realistic" thats basically what you were saying, stupid retard how many flash have you seen that have been 100% realistic. NONE!
Anyways this was well done. The idea was original in my opinion, he killed him with a stick! lol. I will break this movie down in my review.

To start graphics were good overall. The cool drawings and smooth animation made for a great overall graphical presentation. The setting was also original, two young children fighting to the death in a school yard! Couldnt be more original then that. Nice graphics overall.
Your style was great in this movie. The cool animating style you had in this helped this to be an amusing thing to watch. The feel to the movie was nice. So great style!
I loved the sound in this movie. With the some of the sound effects being homemade, and some of the music aswell. The sound was very interesting and i think it fit and helped create the mood. The audio quality could have been a tiny bit higher at some points.
I liked the violence, there wasnt too much of it but the stuff that you had was good.

Overall this was very well done. From the graphics to the sound all was done well. Keep up the great work! 4/5

[Mortal Kombat Mishaps]

Ha that was good!

I love the idea and many other things about this. From the nice sprite animation to the humour element. I will tell you everything in the following review!!!!!!

To start graphics were great. The sprites were really cool and they all actually seemed to be from the game, the quality of them was exceptionally high. The menu looked pretty cool aswell. The one thing bad about the graphics was the blood. Firstly it was just a circle of blood and secondly it was brown. Blood is supposed to be red! LOL Anyways nice job overall on the graphics. I liked your style in this movie. A whole bunch of funny MK3 skits, with a nice menu. The feel was good, thanks to the music and real MK sound effects. So sound was good, again with real Mk sound effects and even some others. But the audio quality was bad, could be because file size was big. But try to work on that.
There was obviously some good violence in there, most of the time you cant go wrong with it.
And the humour in this was just great. Each one of the clips were funny, some obviously more than others. The very first one with indiana jones was very funny.

Overall this was great. I think its deserving of the high score it has. So congrats and keep it up! 4/5

[Computer Problems 2]

Nice work!

Yeah just for the record windows is much better, my proof, Bill Gates is fucking rich fools. Who ever thinks mac is better must seriously have problems. Anyways this was well done and i will tell you why in my review.

First of all graphics were good. It was cool how most of this was the computer screen. It did look pretty cool and thats a fairly original way of doing things. The other graphics, when not looking at the monitor, were just ok. The animation was good, the cursor looked to be moving smoothly enough. I was happy with your graphics overall.
Style was cool, again with the whole computer monitor idea. It doesnt matter if this lacks plot, many great flash dont really have a plot anyways. Also this was definitely an original movie.
I enjoyed the sound quite a bit, mostly because of the voice acting. The acting was hilarious and with great expression. The acting really can make all the difference between something excellent and something thats just good. Oh and nice audio quality.
It seems you have a great sense of humour based on this movie. There werent many jokes, but what really made this funny is the voice acting and the whole idea.

Overall it was good. And windows is better than mac, no one can deny it! 4/5

[Awesome Dave [Pilot ]]

Ha, i wasnt expecting that at all!!!

Great job on this. I wasnt expecting something done this way, and i wasnt expecting it to be so good. I enjoyed this for many many reasons. I will tell you about everything in my review.

Graphics were good. You had a pretty interesting animating style to them. From, the colours to their hair. LOL the hair was hilarious on each person, well if they had hair that is. The colours were good as everything seemed to be different, it seems you never got lazy and used the same colour thousands of times. I liked the animation in this, smooth and funny at some parts aswell. Great job overall on the graphics man!
Your style in this movie rocked. I was a little worried because it was a pilot but it appeared to be more of a regular episode than a pilot. The animating style ties into the overall style of the movie, and so does the feel. It was kind of weird, i mean hard to put a finger on the feel.Either way it was fun to watch, so thats the important part.
Sound was good. The sound effects were good, and some of them funny. The voice acting was good but the characters all sounded somewhat similar. The audio quality was good but just a little quiet i think. The little tunes were a good addition! Sound was good overall.
Now for the best part about this flash, the humour. Absolutely awesome job on the humour aspect. This was crammed full of jokes such as " A living patient is a happy patient" and all the stuff you had on the wall in the doctor's office. Like the one that said stuff about stopping the movie and zooming in because thats exactly what i did. LOL You really got me on that one!

Overall this was awesome. Very amusing to watch and hilarious! A winning combination of graphics, sound and humour. Keep it up!!Woo! 5/5

[The Snail]

That was deep.

That was really well done, the one thing that sets this apart from most of the other flash i have seen is the message. Most flash are for the user's enjoyment but this taught us a lesson and it was pleasant to watch. In my review i will touch on some things that were done excellently and others that perhaps were only good.

The graphics, first of all, were awesome. Maybe no the most unique animating style out there but definitely awesome anyways. The smooth outlines of the snails were great and the backround was a nice addition. The colours were great and the light effects were cool. Rain along with the wet leaf looked almost realistic. So overall great job on graphics.
Im basing style off everything from animating style to message. Since there wasnt a big deal with animating style the message took over and gave you high style points. It has certainly been a while since ive seen a flash with a real, deep, thought-through message like this, so it was nice to see. Style was just great overall.
Sound was good. Though there werent too many sound effects the pitter-patter of the rain was awesome. It sounded completely real to me. The song was touching, and this helped me visualize real homeless children, not to mention high audio quality.

I do agree with one of the last reviews who said" Lets give them at least one dollar". I promise next time i see a homeless person i will do that. Overall this was a good flash and it did teach a lesson. All i have to say is thanks. 5/5

[Jet Plane]

I liked it, different style!

In my opinion it was very good, and based on your awesome score and some i the reviews i read, many other people agree aswell. Everything was done well, but i must say i havent seen that animating style before.

Graphics were great, all the drawings were refined and the animation suit them perfectly, also very smooth. It was sort of like a bunch of different animating styles put into one if that makes any sense. That could be it was for an art project. Either way nice job on the graphics. Style was also great, becuase of the animating style, but also becuase of the movie's feel. How everything was presented and how the song fit with the animation helps with the feel of a movie. The presentation was cool, again with the different animating styles. The song was good,i never thought id be listenin to Frank Sinatra after school. But hes good and i have never heard the real version of that song. Audio quality appeared to be pretty good.

Overall, this was very well done. Op top of that you only had a day or so to make the entire thing. Imagine what you could do with much more time!! Anyways keep up the great work! 4/5

[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?
