Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A plastic Valentine]

This wasn't very good in my opinion. The graphics were poorly made, animation was simple and not very well done. The voices were covered up by loud cheesy music and you could barely hear them. The combination of copy/pasted pictures for the back ground and poorly created/drawn graphics just didn't work.

I get the punchline, it's just really not that funny. There's way too much build up for such a disappointment at the end. I feel like I sat through a lot to see nothing. A big disappointment in my opinion.

[Gaz.voda]

The animation was nice, sounds effects were good, audio was good, graphics were good, but I honestly have no cue at all what happened in this submission.

I watched it again to see if I missed the punchline. Perhaps there's a language barrier... a inside joke that I didn't understand.. who knows... All I know is that it was completely nonsensical and not in a random and fun way.

[The Gunslinger]

This is some high quality stuff for the time period and the limitations of flash!

The animation was pretty slow and rough all around, but it worked for this submission. Could have been cleaned up a bit. The graphics were hit and miss. The quality of the skeleton was superb, but the quality of the gunslinger, specifically his face, weren't even close. Simple things like that would have improved my score greatly.

All that being said, this seems like it was some sort of teaser for a series? It was decent, but the lack of action and how slow the scenes take really don't leave me wanting more.

Back in the day when I was a kid I might have waited for the dial up to watch this, but it wouldn't interest me anymore.

[Danimal Unleashed]

Surprisingly pretty good. I thought with how slow it started that I wouldn't be very entertained, but it actually involved a couple of really good jokes and a decent amount of action.

Graphics were super simple, but worked for the style you were going for. Animation was smooth and looked great all around.

The music was fitting and sounded great. Sadly there wasn't enough variety in the voice acting. It seems that maybe you did all of the voices because they were extremely similar across the board. The voices were super low quality too. Almost sounded like they were recorded through a toaster.

Overall, a decent animation that actually makes me want to check out your other stuff.

[The American Job Preview]

It's fine, especially for the time period it was created, but it looks like it fell flat? That or at least you never posted it to newgrounds at least? The trailer doesn't really make me want to watch the series though. That's the whole point of a trailer isn't it?

The script that you talk about in the author comments sounds interesting and that it would have some comedy, but the trailer says other wise. Way too simple, nothing was told to the watcher, and nothing was provided to make the watcher want to come back and watch the series.

[Blade Bros.]

It's just way too slow with reading the text. It almost lulls you to sleep because we have to read this faded text and have to do it at the pace that the movie tells us, which is super slow for some and super fast for others. Even if you didn't have voice actors, which is really the only way to go here for any quality, you could have given us a next button to click on the text boxes so we could read at our own pace.

Overall, kind of a boring story, not helped by the slow reading of text. Animation is lacking, but understandable for a beginner. This just could have been improved so much with sounds and plot.

[PokéMANS Battle 4]

This was just random enough for me to hate every single second of what I just watched, but laugh the entire time and continue to watch it nonethless. God this is number 4? Hopefully I didnt ruin some plot development with the other ones that I'm sbout to go check out.

[the fight of fire and electric PART 2]

Oh man, that icon you used really tricked me into thinking I was about to watch a somewhat good action packed fight.

Instead I was faced with a stickman short. Dont get me wrong, I'm completely fine with the stickman fights, but they need some good action to back them up.

Even if you're a beginner like the animation here suggests you could instantly improve the submission with a simple drawn in background and some sound effects/copyright free music.

Other more complicated things I suggest working on would be some sort of dialogue, even if simple and thrown together, some length to the video so we have a solid minute of viewing, and continuation of improvement on the snoothness of the animation.

Keep on working.

[Scoopy]

A super cute and extremely well animated kid friendly short. Definitely a style of artwork I would expect to see on TV with smooth animation to back it up.

Keep up the great work.

[Rough 'n Tumble]

This is a prime example of great animation and great artwork. It's a shame that it was just a loop. (I understand that it was supposed to be) It does loop together pretty well.

It leaves the watcher itching for the entire fight scene. How cool would it have been to watch a 2-3 minute fight scene with variety?
