Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[.:FIERRAS:. Cartontown]

Too original for me not to like it!

This was great, and everything about this was utterly original from what ive seen. I mean the graphical style, sounds, idea and presentation, and i havent even heard of that program that you used before! Even if it isnt original i liked it a lot.

The graphics were really good, and extremely originaly done, with the drawings done on paper and so on. Anyways the colours were..well colourful and vibrant in soem cases, and it just felt cool to watch this because of that. Surprisingly, everything blended together very well, and i wouldnt expect that from an animation with this unique style. The overall style was very good, animating style is original, but i didnt llike the style just because of that. I liekd the feel, thanks to the perfect blend of everything. If you can do this kind of thing well, then i will give you high style points. The only problem i had here is the begining which was a little repetitive and perhaps a little slow to get going. The sound was good, but once or twice some sounds seemed a little out of place, and not totally necessary, but it general i loved the sound. The sound effects suited their action very good, for example the police car sirens. The audio quality was pretty good, fit everything togetehr even further.

Overall a job very well done. I have high hopes for this series, as this was just the beginning, just an introduction. I expect the following episodes to be even better, anyways great work! 4/5

Tnx for the review,

We'l try to live up to your expectations in the future :-)

[Raar the baby lion]

Good,....very good!

Great job on this man. It was indeed kind of cute, and this definitely what i was expecting. I was a cute little story with Rar the lion, but i got a cute story and an odd one at the same time.

The graphics were good, and your style is so unusual an unique. But i loved it, the smooth drawings of Rar to that colourful backround. The tree was drawn in a way that i havnt seen before either, but i loved it. All the colours were nice and fun to look at. Smooth animation too! I had mixed feelings about your overall style, more good than bad however. Your animating style was nice as i already said, but the whole feel to the movie was different. Some parts i liked(at the begining) Then the dialogue grew repetitive, and i didnt really enjoy those parts. The sound was good, audio quality was nice so it helped with everything in sound. Its hard to tell if the voice acting was good or not because it is in a different language, but from what i heard it seemed well done.

Overall a very good job, and deserving of this score if not higher. Anyways it was fun to watch and i hope you can make more high quality movies in the near future! 4/5

qeshi responds:

thanx m8 :)

I actually mixed a lot of diffrent techniques, like the intro is made with water colours, the background and tree is painted with acrylics, and Raar is drawn with one of those dip pens in indian ink.

[Birthday Zone: Flight X19]

Clever...

Great job on this, when i saw birthday zone i was expecting something stupid and unoriginal, but what i got is the complete opposite. It was very original actually.

The graphics were good, i liked the black and white colours. It helped fit the mood of it all, and also fit the mood that was already there, kind of old movie style. The drawings were good, i like how you draw your people. Your style in this movie was very good, your animating style was nice, and i liked how you presented the movie, with the intoeudction you had. The sound was very good, and impressive at times. I loved the music throughout very much. It really set the feeling to the whole movie, and i also loved the voice acting. Both of these actually impressed me. There was humour in this, the idea was different, but i liked it and it was indeed funny.

Overall a great job, and i really enjoyed watching it. I hope you can make more high quality submissions in the future, please dont dissapoint lol. Anyways leave a response if you can! 4/5

mom-at-noevil responds:

thank you so much for taking the time for such a thoughtful review. I am just discovering the power of Newgrounds and the power is in these reviews.

["Rolling"]

Overrated? Definitely not.

One of the last reviews said this was kind of overrated, and then he gave you a 10. That i dont understand. Anyways i didnt think this was at all, i think it deserves that great score.

The graphics were great, except a couple physics problems here and there, but i know it is very difficult to get those all down. I just liked how everything looked, i dont know if thats great for 3D stuff either. I just enjoyed looking at it. Your style was cool, i have seen some of those "marble contraptions" around, but they were never animated. So its cool to see something familiare, yet original if you know what i mean. It had a decent length for that style of movie and i wasnt dissapointed with any of it. The sound was appropriately chosen, but by itself i didnt really like the song much. The quality was clear, it just wasnt my style.

Overalll it was very good. Its good to see so many different style coming from one author. It shows you got talent, and i hopwe other people realize that too. Anyways cant wait for more! 4/5

GAMECUBICLE responds:

Thanks for the long review man :)

I really like reviews like this, at least its better then those short pointless review, cause this helps me improving.

Thanks for all the nice comments :)

[Portrait of a Modern Man]

Hehe i enjoyed that!

That was great! I loved how everything was done. The development of the story was very well done, seeing the bee hive, the reporter and the woman with the pink hair before the actual incident.

The graphics really had their moments in this, like at some points the animation was really impressive(the scene with the guy and the mirror) At other points the animation seemed too slow, and some of the backrounds were great! Your style in this movie was good, i liked your animating style, it was sort of a cool combination of a whole bunch of different styles. The title is great, and i say that very rarely. Your presentation was great, as i kind of already said. The sound was great Ha! i love that song, though i wouldnt down load it. Its the kind of song that i would love to hear in a flash only. This had lots of humour as well.

Overall an awesome final product, despite a few tiny small little minor set backs and problems. They dont affect the final movie much at all. Please keep up the great work and leave a response if you can! 4/5

hatrobot responds:

Thanks man. Everyone's been really nice about this one. Thanks for leaving a comment.

[Juiceball]

Ha! Clever...

Great job, this isnt the usual type of flash i see. This had a unique sense of humour that just couldnt go unnoticed. It didnt have like "jokes" but the dialogue and such was funny.

The graphics were awesome. All the drawings were great and plesant to look at. The colours were well chosen and again very pleasant. Based on detail and the rest of actual elements for graphics i wouldnt say these deserved a 9. But i laughed at some animations and that convinced me to give that 9., i really liekd the fat guys. The style was great, a new sense of humour that i really enjoyed. Too bad im not American, that would have made this whole thing more amusing. Your animating style is awesome, as i said i laughed at some drawings. The sound was really good, perhaps a little stale at some parts, but who cares? The voice acting was great. Really good characterization and expression. Good audio quality topped it off. Humour was awesome, you got a different way of telling jokes and i love originality. Anyways i smiled at alsomt each one of those.

Overall very good, i couldnt help but like this animation. Thanks for all the smiles, leave me a response if you can, but if you cant dont be ashamed lol. I want to see more.4/5

mom-at-noevil responds:

thank you so much for taking the time to give me such a detailed review. It is much appreciated. YOur insight is spot on.

[Rest in Peace]

Good!

Well done man. The only bad thing i can point out about this is the length. It was way too short dude, but i realize it was a side project of some sort. The short length of this didnt allow enoguh of everything to happen, like there could have been more animation ina longer movie. The graphics that you did have were very nice, some truely great FBF animation. Cool style other than the length. I liekd your animating style and the idea was kinda funny. Good sound, but i wanted to hear a little more. Humour was there as well. I kind of smiled at the end.

Anyways a really good job overall. Expect better reviews for a longer flash! 4/5

Astropuff responds:

Actually I had just quit my main FBF project because I had a large quality jump from the start to end. I got better too fast during the course of making the movie, so I had to quit it or redo the first half of the movie.

So I decided to make a short FBF since I quit my main project.

[Plans of Evil - Pilot Ep]

LOL good job!

This was good, and not just for one reason. Everything was at least done well, if not very well. I do have a few bad things to say, but i have more good than bad this time. In my review i will birefly explain each aspect, i give long reviews to the things i enjoy and that i think deserve a long review.

the graphics while somewhat simple were very good and definitely did the job. The drawings were good, but the backrounds lacked a little detail, though they werent the most important thing in this. The animation was nice, well what ever you had of it. There wasnt too much, but i enjoyed what you had. The colours were nice, and i liek the character design, especially the Evil Guy. The style is good too and its kind of like the graphics in a way. Your animating style works for both the visuals and overall style. The idea is pretty funny and seems original as well. The presentation was great, that was truely an unexpected ending. Try to make it longer next time though! The sound was great in this, i really enjoyed the sound effects, and the voice acting. The good audio quality complemented the sound in a good way. The humour in this was great too, as i kind of already mentioned. I laughed at the ending and smiled and a few other parts.

Overall this was good, sorry i could not give it a higher score out of 10, it was too short for me to give that. If the graphics were as great as There She is Step 2 then the length is very forgivable. Anyways keep getting better, i am looking forward to the next episode. 4/5

Zictor responds:

Thanks for the Bigass review. I've been writing part 2 for a few days, And I've showed a few of my friends the script. Its longer and you'll be laying on the floor laughing at some of the jokes! Instead of parodying movies separately i've shoved em' into it so the sequal will be better!

[Beyond Gaming]

Woah, this adds to the collection...

...Of absolutely fantastic collaborations i have seen oevr the past week or so. This one really stood outs being awesome, but also unique. This one wasnt just based around one song, but a whole bunch of different things. In my review i will briefly explain each aspect.

The graphics weer generally very good, there was i think one clip that i think could have done better graphics wise. I think that was the first one i watched. Anyways the others were really well done. The colours were all cool and the drawings were great, partly because they varied from scene to scene. All the animating styles were either interesting, or simply cool. The animation was good in each clip. The style of this collab was awesome. I liked how this one didnt really have clips that flowed, they were in a menu rather. Collabs always earn high style points from me anyways because i love to see a whole bunch of talented authors work together and bring us reviewrs high quality submissions to rant about. Its also great to see a whole bunch of different animating styles. The sound was great in some clips, in others it was just a song. I could tell which ones had more effort. The songs were all well chosen but for the ones that did have sound effects i enjoyed the sound in those more. Great audio quality throughout by the way.Plenty of violence in each clip :) and even some interactivity.

Overall this was fantastic, deserving of its high score and maybe a little higger. Anyways keep the greatness coming guys. Oh and for the record my favs was Xionic_Demon's. 5/5

Xionico responds:

wow, thanks a lot, im glad u liked the way i putted them together, thanks a lot ofr ur waords again =D!

[Majora's Mask: Revealed]

How great!

I have always hated that god damn game. Such a dissapointment after Ocarina Of Time. I loved to see it be made fun of, even if you liekd it and you just felt like making fun of it. This was fun, in my review i will explain each aspect breifly.

The graphics, while simple and somewhat undetailed, did the job. They were kind of funny at some points. I guess they were good if you were trying to make them bad like you said in one of your responses. But i think thats a bad excuse if you cant make great visuals. Still i see the effort was there so good job on that. your style was great, not so much your animating style but the idea and everythiung of this movie. The idea was great, picking apart Majora's Mask like that. It was pretty original and creative. The development of the story was ok. The length was awesome. You had great length in this and that allows more of anything to happen. The sound in this was great as well. I really loved your voice acting, thats a big reason why i enjoyed this so much. Your expression was great and i like the mission impossible scene. The small points of interactivity throughout when you had to switch the tapes was a good addition. The humour in this was wonderful.LOL just by this movie i know you have a good sense of humour.

Overall a job well done. Dont try and make your art bad again because many people dont enjoy that. Anyways try harder there next time but for everything esle do what you are doing. 4/5

IceKeyHunter responds:

Thanks. Also, it wasn't me who played Link, but DDRFreek.

I played Malon... <.< >.>
