Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[OLD MOBS EP2]

Good job.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The animation style that you have is pretty good. It's original most of the time, but there are a few places where it gets just a little sloppy. It kind of adds to the comical feeling that you get from the submission though. Not the best animation or graphics, but clearly not bad at all.

~ Story/Content ~

Actually not as funny or as random as the first one that I watched. It really didn't include too much more of a story, but it was still pretty fun to watch. Still pretty random in all aspects too.

The over 9,000 joke was really lame and I knew it was coming. Very predictable.

This one seemed to have a lot of action in it. I can tell that you really put a lot of hard work into your submission and I do put effort into the rating that I give to people.

~ Audio ~

I really do think that a lot of the voices could be better quality. The Moose voice especially. To me it's sort of hard to understand and sounds kind of staticy. I don't know if it's the microphone or if your too close to the mic, etc.. Whatever it is I think it's really the only thing that would have to be worked on in this submission at all to make it better.

~ Overall ~

An interesting story. Keep me updated whenever you have a new submission because I enjoy your humor.

Hey, thanks for the review, you really break everything down and make it easier for us to improve and we appreciate it! Thanks also for the great score and we hope to see you again for Episode 3 that we're finishing up now. We've improved on the overall quality quite a bit. Our test viewers seem to think we've perfected it, so we can't wait to see what you think! Hope to see you when it launches!

[Another Bahamut?!]

I really liked this one.

First off what's up with the icon? I didn't know you could do that with the icons for flash. O.o

I really liked the humor in this one. It was a great submission all around. No matter how simple the animation or what the graphics looked like the humor was enough for me to give this one a ten.

Three Bahamuts like that in one room was funny by itself. It would have been funny without Afro in there at all, but he did add to the humor.

The only thing that I was disappointed at was their wasn't any epic battle between the two clones. I thought that you were building up for one because Fagamut only wanted to be the only clone and they started arguing towards the end there. It made me ready for a battle.

kinggila responds:

Hehehe, someone discovered a way to upload animated .gifs as icons on that day, so I stole someone's animated .gif for this flash since I know it was a once in a lifetime chance.

Also, there could be an epic battle in a future flash of mine. :)

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D SE3]

Oh that Adolf

He decided to have some fun and take a break from traveling/catching pokemon all of the time finally. There isn't too much better than visiting Coop83 at a concert is there?

Unfortunately it's one of your most spammy flashes that I have seen so far. :p Pretty much just like the other Hitler flashes. At least your getting away from the trend of pokemon and travel.

The background like that was kind of funny. Too bad you didn't find something like live footage of a concert and stick the picture of Coop and Hitler in the crowd somewhere. That is really the only thing that I can think of to improve this flash other than just adding actual animation.

Good music though. ^^

kinggila responds:

I was hoping to find a better background for this flash, but that was the best I found at the time. :( Also, I'm aware it's spammy, but back then I had fun and that's all that mattered. Now, I put it all behind, but don't mind mentioning it every now and again.

[Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 9]

Hmm different.

First off I want to mention a weird box thing that almost looked like a camera that showed up for some reason all over the screen. What was that there for? Was it suppose to be there or was that a mistake.

Also, it never had a loader or anything for me. It looked like it was suppose to, but as soon as I open the movie up it shows the loading screen for half a second or so and then just plays automatically. That was a little annoying because I had other tabs open and I didn't want it to play yet.

The animation itself was very simple, but I like how you made it work with the simple animation. I enjoyed the style.

The movie made me laugh a little bit, but being so short it was just a small smile. Perhaps a little bit more build up would have made the scene of the guy kicking the seat funnier.

You had a good choice of audio and sound effects in the flash.

Overall it looks like you may have a couple of errors to fix up. Other than that a pretty decent submission.

You must not have the latest flash player.

Review Request by ngfan14

Knowing your work I first thought this was going to be spam like you like to make a lot for some reason. I was very surprised that it wasn't spam and that it was actually pretty good.

Animation/Graphics - Pretty good. Great job with the photoshop and the animation all around. There might have been a couple of times that it lagged out on me or that it skipped a little bit, but obviously I can't mark you down on that just in case it was my computer.

Story/Content - Great music video like submission here. It was really trippy and for some reason it just made me go into a daze when watching it. I was almost in a trance. Great length and it seems like there was a lot of work put into this.

Audio - The song went great with the flash, but there were a couple of times that it seemed to skip around or miss parts. Again, I didn't know if that was my computer or not.

Overall - Very cool submission. Pretty good job all around and great job on the pictures used.

Woah Woah Woah

I can't believe the vicious fight that these guys are going through. A fight that lasts over an entire year is truly ridiculous.

The captions coming across the screen were essential, because I would have stopped watching a long time ago without them. Perhaps a couple of random things going by in the background could have made it a little more funnier or just more humorous captions themselves.

How do you get the counter to go up like that? Is there an actionscript for that or did you have to go in and do that all by yourself?

I had no clue that this thing actually had an end to it, but I did watch it to the full 1,000 spins. I was hoping for an more exciting finish, but I guess I'll have to wait until next years to watch it. (Which I've probably already reviewed :P)

kinggila responds:

There is an actionscript for it, but sadly, I didn't get it right for this flash, so the counter was done manually.

[Kill Bahamut! 03]

Damn that Wade

Poor Bahamut getting his picture taken like that. :( I can't believe he survived the first blast, but the second one took him done. At least he made it a fight shrugging off the first one.

Ha, I don't know too much about Wade's little OH SNAP things, but perhaps a couple of things like flash lights would have made the flash more comical, but I don't know if the whole flash light thing started before or after this movie.

Voices could have been better like a lot of your older movies, but other than that not a bad submission. You do a pretty good job making decent stuff with minimal animation sometimes.

kinggila responds:

The Oh Snap trend by Wade started well before this flash was even made.

[Edgar N' Locke SE01]

2nd time I watched this

This is the second time I watched this, but I just didn't get to reviewing it the first time.

It was a nice addition having the the scene selection and the extra information, even though I was caught off guard when the information thing brought me to a new webpage. I was expecting it to open up a page in the flash or something like that.

Like usual good simple graphics. Really fits the style of the flash. Good voice acting and audio used in this submission also.

kinggila responds:

Oooooooooh yeah!

[Coop83's Birthday]

Happy birthday..

Well.. happy birthday awhile ago. -_-

Oh well, better later than never.

It's been a long time since I've seen one of your movies because of exams and everything, but I'm happy to come back to the simple style of animation and the comfortable characters that I'm starting to learn within each episode.

I got a decent laugh out of some of this, but like always I'm left a little confused because I don't know the complete story behind everything. Either way, a great tribute for someone birthday. Good job.

kinggila responds:

Coop's birthday isn't too far away.

[Merry Cupcake]

Not too bad.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The Good Points - For the most part the animation was pretty smooth. I liked the way you changed the guy's face in the very beginning of the flash to make it curvier. It really showed a lot of emotion when you did that. The colors and backgrounds were well done.

The Bad Points - Perhaps not the best drawn, but not too terrible. Just having it done a little bit better would have helped the submissions rating in my opinion, but like I said it was decent, could have just been a tad better.

~ Story/Content ~

The Good Points - This was an interesting flash. I personally never saw anything like this before, so it must have been original enough. I liked the emotion that you used with the guy that wasn't talking as humor. I also liked how you made the picture of the cupcake that the guy drew on the paper animated. It brought more attention to it and I feel added a lot to the animation.

The Bad Points - I didn't really like that you didn't have the guy drawing on the piece of paper, but just the writing showing up randomly instead. Perhaps that could have been something that you could have added. That's really nothing major though and I didn't take anything away for that.

In my opinion the biggest thing about the flash was that I was completely lost. I really had no clue what was going on. It seemed to me that nothing was suppose to be going on and that it was just something completely random, but it wasn't really random enough for me to find funny or entertaining. If it's a parody of something then I honestly don't know what it is.

~Audio ~

The Good Points - There was pretty good sound effects in this animation. The voice acting was pretty decent. The background music that you used was also very fitting for the flash.

The Bad Points - Perhaps the voice was a bit muffled. I don't think it was though. I blame that on my poor hearing and bad speakers so no points off for that just in case.

~ Overall ~

Perhaps just a bit boring. Not too entertaining at all, but a decent flash all in all.
