Chris-Aldin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drama In The Kitchen]

Wow surprisingly good!

Wow i really loved that. I saw its score and i expected it to be simply good, with nothing too sepcial. I watched it...and it was much better than i thought it was going to be. Every element of flash was done very well in this.

The graphics were awesome. I loved all the detail and you did really well on making the eggs appear 3D. The back round was also very nice. I also loved the use of 3D in this, such as when the female egg is plumetting to the ground. Style was awesome. First i really liked your animating style quite bit becuase its unique, detailed yet cartoony in a very good way. The story was sad....yet touching....surprisingly that could happen with eggs as the characters. Your preloader was a wicked addition to an already excellent flash. Once again the use of 3D there was really good. It also helps with interactivity, also your menu was cool. The song playing was pretty good. It really set the mood well and i just like it by itself. The one bad thing here is the amount of sound effects. I truely wish there were more and there was also one point where the sound was out of sync, when the egg fell to be exact. As i said before you earned interacivity on the preloader and your cool menu. I liked the humour in this too. The end was funny where the male egg looked shocked becuae of what he did.

Overall it was excellent. Whats even more amazing is that this is only your second flash. Thats hard to beleive as this was incredible. Please make more flash of this quality, im be looking forward to all your future submissions!!! 5/5

This crash sound has been the biggest problem of ours and I’m not sure how to fix it :( thanks for the review.

[the owners 2]

That was nice...very cool

Well done. It was a little slow at first but then it really picked up towards the end. I liked the graphics and animation, both of which were done very well. The graphics were good becuase of the well-proportioned drawings. It was easy to tell what was going on throughout the movie. Style was pretty good. That was a different look on total ownage LOL. It wasnt just one character walking into a crowd of enemies and owning them all. This was definitely more original then all those. Sound was good but the quality could have been better. I liked the voice acting for the most part and the sound effects were nice. I would have given you more violence but there was only that one headshot at the end, which was brutally violent. If you had more , i would have given you more points obviously.

Overall it was very good. I cant wait until the next episode comes out. I really wanna see what happens!! 4/5

cicla responds:

man in glad you like it !!!!
thanks for the review!!!
and thanks for your opinion...NG. need more people like you!!!

dont worry the chapter 3 will be full of violence...

[Pikmin: Reality Check]

Lol good job.

Ha that was pretty good man. I have never seen a quality pikmin flash before so it was great to see one. The graphics were pretty good. you obvioulsy put effort into them. Style was this movies best part. As i said Pikmin parodies are non existant on Newgrounds and its awesome to see one. I love your colourful animating style. Sound quality was good, but im not a big fan of hanson.... chose a better song next time if you can. I loved the ending. That was truely unexpected!... i fell said for all those pikmin now.

Overall this was great and fun to watch. Make more parodies to this or maybe some other games you dont see being made fun of. Either way keep up the good work! 4/5

Kapungo responds:

Thank you very much for the lengthy review, this sort of feedback really helps. I'm glad you liked the film, and you can count on me to choose a much better song in my next flash. And good idea, I'm planning on making a few more in the "Reality Check" series, based around other games that don't get parodied often. Cheers.

[StarWarsAFP: Part 1 Act 2]

better than act 1!

Yup this was good, better than the last. The animation actually seemed better in this one. I dont know if it was just me or it actually was. This one also had less to do with star wars, and more humour and random occurances. thats why i think its doing so much better, its much funnier. I basically said everything in the last one so im not going to go through it all again.

Great overall. I really want to see part 3. Keep up the effort and good work! 4/5

silentmike86 responds:

Thank you, I am personal a lot happier with this one then the first act, I will continue to try hard to improve more and more with each cartoon I do

[StarWarsAFP: Part 1 Act 1]

Nice work.

This is purely based on people's love for star wars and the humour element of flash, becuase nothing amazed me. To get that "OMG" factor the graphics have to be insane, and the sound has to be amazing. The graphics in this were better than average but still not the greatest. Drawings alone were good, but when the animation began they were sort of messed up. that will just come with time, so its not a big deal. I know i cant do anything nearly as good as that. Style was great, i love star wars parodies. They are always very funny in my opinion. Sound was good, though the quality could be higher. I realize the quality had to be sacrificed a bit becuase its a long flash and the file size is fairly large. The voice acting was ok, but i think they could be a little better. Some voices were obviously better done than others. Humour was this flash's high point. Crammed full of funny starwars jokes, and some other jokes that were put in a star wars setting. For example when that one storm trooper was listening to music and singing along. LOL that was probably my favourite part in the whole movie.

Overall you did a good job. In the future i want to see your skillz get better and better. Now im off to watch Part 1, Act 2. 4/5

silentmike86 responds:

Thank you, what a great review

yes I will always make sure the animation improves with each cartoon I do (so far it seems to have), voice acting I hope is better in part 2, its really a case of I like it but does everyone else, and the sound I am working hard to make it of better quality.

Any way thank you for such a great review :)

[A tale of The Skull]

A great start...

...to what could be an amazing full flash animation. I think you got all the skillz necessary to make a fantastic flash. I understand you did not have much time, i say go back and improve on this in any way you planned and then resubmit it. Either way right now its results are pretty good. Around a 3.7 or so, thats much better than most flash. Imagine a completed version... So the graphics good. At some points the animation was amazing at others, it seems you went just a tiny tiny tiny bit overboard with the FBF. Smooth animation throughout. Style was pretty good, i havent seen a movie with this kind of story line. Never have i seen anything close to this, great originality. Sound, as you said, could be better in many ways. First, you need more sound effects than this. There were a few but they didnt quite do it. Second, add more music then jus the music at the end. The song at the end seemed a little messed up, i dont know if that was jsut me or not. Third, you gotta improve the audio quality, if you can.

Overall it came out fairly well. Also if you can respond to this review and tell me maybe when a completed version will be out and what you will do to improve on this one. Still, this has potential so here is a 4/5.

BlacKSnaX responds:

Thanks for the good review and advice,

I am still undecided as to improve this instead of giving my time to simply making something better from scratch.

If I do improve upon it, I will probably do it in bits, as I am quite tired of drawing that dinosaur thing, as you can imagine.

Audio does give me a problem, especially in a piece like this as I simply can't find the sounds I want (I even recorded the footsteps by hitting my microphone against a sofa)

My next peice will take into account your feedback, I promise ;)

[The Newgrounds System]

That was soo not bad.

You did a pretty good job on this. You are good in every aspect of flash. Getting to be "great" will come with time. Graphics were not more than decent. Its just some places, like the room with the judges, could use more detail. Style was cool,an inerested look one whats its like to be a flash. Ive seen something like this with this general idea, but not for a long time and that one was based around blammage, not protect. Sound was good, itd be nice to hear a few more sound effects. Also this was kind of funny.

Overall, you got a few things to improve on but this was definitely not bad at all. Please keep at it! 3.5/5 <-----if only that exist :(

ToonCastleTV responds:

thanks man a month go people were telling me 2 go 2 hell I have no future in flash but I showed them....

[Prelude to Joy]

That was fuckin weird!

Weird, sick, and twisted ....YES. But also awesome! That was some great work. I loved the graphics throughout each clip. Very well done on the animation! Style was weird and trippy i guess i could say. Since it was a whole bunch of unfinished projects,as you said, it gave the movie a weird feeling. Nothing made sense and everybody who watched it was like "woah...". That can be a good thing though and in this case it was. Sound was great too. I liked the songs you chose. Ive heard most of em before and the Mario one brought back some memories of playin Mario 64 and Mario 64 DS! Humour was good at some points, at others it seemed you focused on the graphics a little more.

Overall it was great. I really enjoyed the upbeat nature of the movie...well most of it anyways...4/5

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

^_^

[Chips & Pete]

It wasnt all that good to me.

Nothing impressed me in this. Im sure you can do much better than this. First off the graphics were actually pretty good. You got a style there that cant go unnoticed. But the actual style of the movie could have been better. Nothing special or unqiue to it. Sound could most certainly use improvment. Horrible quality in your mic, annoying sound effects, and sub par voice acting. There wasnt really any humour in this, though i think you tried to make it funny.

Overall this definitely has many flaws. I personally didnt enjoy it, but i know you can do better. 3/5

LiLg responds:

Thanks for the compliment ? :c/ .. well infact it wasn't a compliment at all. I think the problem is ya'll people saying there are problems with the sound need better speakers cuz it played the sound well on mine. I mean I know it isn't the best but it's there :) .. oh yeah and the next person to talk about "HUMOUR" ... tell me what that is cuz i believe the correct spelling is "HUMOR" .. in fact it's actually written for you when ur reviewing :)
