Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Penguins or Pandas, Tom?]

Wow.. spammy..

And to think that I was the one to teach you how to properly credit other authors on "flashes"...

Animation/Graphics - Absolutely no points here at all. First off it seems like the theme that you had for this flash was to randomly draw shitty pictures and pretty much make everything terrible for some sort of humor effect? It didn't really turn out very well. The pictures were just drawn terribly. It honestly look liked a little kid drew everything with their eyes closed and just kind of guessed on where to put things.

I recommend practicing drawing for a long time before even thinking about submitting another "flash" again. If you were doing them like that on purpose just don't. It wasn't funny or anything of the sort.

You need to get flash if your going to make things like this. I'm all about movies here that aren't made in flash. I really enjoy things that aren't made in flash, but when you are making something like this it really needs to be animated. It needs to have the actual movement of mouths, arms, etc..

Story/Content - It might have been funny, but you really just tried to hard. It obviously make no sense so you were going for the random effect here, but it still didn't work for you. Perhaps if the animation itself was better the content would improve along with it.

Audio - Hmm, you need different voices for the different people talking. Again, if you were trying to go with something funny here using the same childish 10 year old voice then you just shouldn't. You need a different voice actor for each character or at least make a different voice for each character. You don't have a good voice acting voice either. You may want to work on that.

Overall - It really needs to improve in almost every section that I can think of.

Hm. And your 20, have a deity whistle, is a Police Sergent, and is a level 25.

Get a girlfriend, man!

[Anime Fans Are Retarded]

Lol

Animation/Graphics - This is obviously where your flash greatly needs to improve. A lot of things like incomplete backgrounds and terrible drawings for people. I know what you were trying to get at, but making the animation and drawing better would probably make the movie much better on the eyes.

Story/Content - This really did make me laugh. The concept is the only thing that you got points for. The porn part where the guy was masturbating was priceless and really made me laugh. When it started I thought it was just going to be that useless non funny spam that nobody likes, but as the flash went on I noticed it was more of the funny/flaming spam flashes that are at times quite enjoyable.

Audio - God that music is annoying, but it only proves your point that you are trying to make with the flash. I think that I like that it didn't have any voices, but if you had better animation then perhaps voices would be a good match.

Overall - I understand what you were trying to get at with the poor graphics, but there is still a point where you have to try and improve on them slightly. Very comical in some parts of the movie though.

Kyothine responds:

Oh wow, a helpful review. Thanks.

[People Are Strange (now)]

Pretty good.

~ Animation/Graphics ~
I really can't find anything wrong with the animation at all. It was all done very well. It was all very smooth and down. You really got the style to work well for you here. Drawings were done pretty well even though some could have been just a little bit better.

~ Story/Content ~
A pretty nice music video all around. You had a good variety of scenes and an interesting/original story within the flash to go along with the music. The use of a couple of scenes over again was kind of repetitive, but not too much.

~ Audio ~
The audio that you chose for the music video was pretty good. I personally had never heard of it before, but you did a really good job forming a flash around an interesting piece of audio.

~ Overall ~

A good music video with minor flaws.

[Edgar N' Locke 03]

Pretty good.

Very basic concept of just several people talking to each other back and forth. That means there was barely any animation in the flash, but again I love that style for some reason. Perhaps because it's the closest thing to my style also.

*Personally likes the first song, but dislikes the other two songs*

The first song is much heavier than the other two. When I think of Metal I usually think of screaming and heavy guitar. So I enjoyed the first song that you used, but disliked the other two. The voices for the submission were done pretty good as well.

I enjoyed the random things going on in the background. The first time something went by I just felt like it was something nice that added to the flash submission, but the second time something went by it gave me a little chuckle.

Ever think of having a scene go by or go on in the background from one of your other flashes? I did that with a movie before and found out that it worked pretty well.

kinggila responds:

"Ever think of having a scene go by or go on in the background from one of your other flashes?"

I've done it for a few flashes, but of course, if I did it more often, it would have been slightly better.

[Afro_Stud - The Album]

Happy... Late birthday..

This is the first time that I really noticed the lip syncing was way off. I also noticed something else for the first time. (I went back to some of your other flashes to confirm this) In everyone of your submissions there is a small white area where the background layer you used didn't completely cover the screen. It's off to the right and it's just by a little bit. The reason that it stuck out to me more than it did in other episodes is because when you had Graham float off of the screen he showed up in this white area where the background wasn't for a split second.

If I didn't read the author comments I wouldn't of had a clue that this submission was a birthday tribute until the last scene. Pretty decent animation other than the lip syncing part. Also, what was up with Crackman's thumbs? They looked humanly impossible as they stuck straight up against his body instead of beside his fingers like a normals persons finger would look like.

Also, I own all of those albums.

kinggila responds:

More errors with my character models.

[Graham Loves Goatse]

Lol

The thing that I loved the most about this submission was how repetitive Graham's lines were. Just the same thing over and over or at least a variety of what he was saying over and over. That really added a lot of humor to the submission.

Afro's singing was pretty funny also, but it was way too quiet. I know that's not your fault because I checked out the audio file that he has on newgrounds and that's how he made it not you.

Animation was pretty good in this one. The background that you used was also done very well. The voice acting was good like usual.

kinggila responds:

I never made a goatse movie for him. :P

[F*** OFF YOU F*****!]

Well I guess..

I guess I will jump on the mother f***ing bandwagon with these ****sucking reviews and beep out all of my *@!*** @*!*@**@ !*!*@*@ @@*!! @*@!! reviews.

So I finally get to watch the episode where the newer censorship flash was made after. And it's a good one at that. I loved the music that you used as Afro's background music. ^^

I also loved how Bahamut got super pissed off to the point that I thought he was going to explode. Looks like you have a hard time getting rid of that bastard.

kinggila responds:

I f***ing forgot about Censorship Day. Oh well.

[MK: She-Spider]

Great job.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

The Good Points - Awesome animation all around. The animation was really smooth and the drawing style that you have is pretty good. I usually include a section where it says Bad Points, but I honestly can't find too much if anything really. Perhaps you could work on your drawing skills just a little bit?

~ Story/Content ~

The Good Points - It was an interesting story and the flash kept me interested the entire time. It never got boring and was fun to watch. The character design was pretty good and original.

The Bad Points - If you would even consider this a bad point, but you didn't really give us any background information. It's almost like you started right in the middle of a story that we don't know and since there isn't any conversation between the characters in the flash people can be left lost and confused. I recommend either including story in the flash itself by adding conversation whether it be thoughts or actual talking between each other. If you didn't want to do that then you could instead used a background section in the menu that will let up read up on what we were about to watch.

The reason that I say if you would even consider this a bad point is because I myself like to start stories somewhere in the middle and then work to the beginning and then to the end.

~ Audio ~

The Good Points - The audio that you had went well with the animation. Really well to be exact.

The Bad Points - I think I would have been much more interested in the submission if you would have made the music more ambient and then added some sound effects. I recommend making the music ambient because the sound effects would be drowned out by the music otherwise. I would also recommend some things such as dialogue between the characters or even with themselves mentally.

~ Overall ~

A wonderful flash submission to watch in terms of animation and presentation, but some users may be left lost without a proper story line or without some dialogue. Keep up the great work.

MrGUS responds:

Thank you fow the very well though review, I love this kind of reviews. About the story, like you said, I kind of do enjoy starting things in the middle, that way there is a mysterious past and future, and I can continue my story either way.. writing a background story on the menu sounds like a good idea though. Yeah, I know, I've been told a couple of times to focus on the story and use music as ambient, I just keep falling back into making some kind of music video... I should start using sound effects though, and possibly I will include some small written (maybe inner) dialogue.
Thanks for the good review and recommendations,

[RE5: Public Assembly]

Ha, what an awesome job man.

Animation/Graphics - Really great animation style here. You did a really good job drawing the characters in the flash and you also did a great job animating them. Smooth animations for the most part.

Story/Content - :D Ha, the racism that you included in this flash was great. You did it to the point where it wasn't really offending, but still funny. I love the words that you replaced things with.

Playing through the Demo so many times that I can now defeat the Executioner with ease I really got a good laugh relating things from the game with this movie. Again, "You all look the same" was wonderful. ^^

Audio - Sounds like you took the audio right from the game itself, which explains it's good quality. The sound effects and voice acting were also very well done.

Overall - A great flash that made it right on top of my favorites as soon as it was submitted. I would recommend this to a lot of people. Good job.

Gonzossm responds:

Thank you for the touching review :)

[Afro_Stud - The Fairytale]

How dare you..

How dare you ruin the ending. Damn it I actually didn't know the ending to the book. :( Some would consider me a slow reader and I tell them to go fuck off just because I have to sound each word out.

The animation in this was decent like always. I find Hitler's head nodding to everything quite funny. A couple of drawings of people could have been better. That's really the only place to improve in this flash.

Is there something about Afro_Stud that I don't know about? I notice he's into the whole pink stuff and everything, but Barbie dolls? Oh no... he isn't... D:

Voice acting in this was good like usual. Graham's voice always gives me a chuckle whenever I hear it now.

kinggila responds:

Oh yes he is.
