Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bahamut N' Satan 666]

LOL

I'm going to say fuck my generic review style with your flashes. I'm just going to use that stuff for the RRC.

Ha, I really didn't see that coming so it was really funny. It caught me by complete surprise. The funny thing is that just showing Sonic isn't really funny like that, but just the complete element of surprise was. It actually made me laugh out loud.

The voices and text weren't timed the best. At least on my computer they weren't. The voices could have been just a little bit more clear on this one. Especially Satan's voice.

kinggila responds:

The flash is out of sync, regardless of which computer you're using. Sadly, Flash has syncing issues, but fortunately, they can be fixed.

[Bahamut: ATWI80D 01]

I wish

That the run offs and parodies were all done like this. They wouldn't have been so looked down upon if they were actually flashes instead of a different picture every time. Also, I wouldn't have had so many reviews deleted if they were spammy. >:[

Animation/Graphics - Not the best animation, but I really like the style that you used. I'm actually liking the style so much of just pictures that I've been making a flash with my roommate with the same sort of style. That and it's extremely easy to do. :)

Story/Content - Like I said up above too bad the other parodies and runoffs weren't made as well as these were. It actually included some story. Even though the story is really only funny between a group of people I do understand the story a little bit so I can join in on some of the humor.

Audio - The nice generic music that you used in the first part. I grew to like that music a little bit since I have heard it so many times. The music that you used for the flash sort of ended short didn't it? Also, I had a feeling that the song at the end was from Final Fantasy. I really need to get my hands on a good game like that again. I haven't played one in ages.

I wish you could have used real voices for these older flashes.

Overall - Better than the other parodies. Decent humor, especially with the text that you used at the end.

kinggila responds:

Man, I miss making simple animation. Also, I could record the lines for the older flashes, but that would take the charm away from my oldest stuff.

[ShortShakespeare - Hamlet]

That was awesome. :D

Animation/Graphics - I really enjoy your style of animation. Everything was drawn very good and you did a good job on backgrounds and colors. The animation it self was pretty smooth. All around good job in this area of the flash.

Story/Content - This was really funny. It may have been only 67 seconds, but you packed a lot of humor in those 67 seconds. That's what makes it so funny though. I love the idea of making a movie shorter like this. Kind of reminds me of the idea that I had for a Gone in 60 Seconds movie that a friend and I were going to make. Hell, perhaps we will still make it sometime. Obviously it would be just around 60 seconds.

Audio - You did a good job on the voices. There weren't any spots that sounded too loud, too quiet, staticy, etc... Good music playing in the background also.

Overall - A funny idea for a flash and a funny flash. Good job.

Timsplosion responds:

Yeh, I've been trying to improve my animation quality since Nothing But Random.
I'm glad you found it funny, I really like hearing peoples reactions to my flash.
And I think this is probably the first flash without any audio problems at all! Now I just have to record all my other flash like this. :P
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

[OLD MoBS EP1]

Ha :D

Animation/Graphics - The graphics were really good and the animation was very smooth. Great job all around. Like always, you have a great style of animation that you use.

Story/Content - Lol, the most random flash that I've seen in a long time. A lot of things didn't make any sense at all, but that's exactly how I like flash animations. That's when they are the funniest. I hope you continue on the series, because they are really funny. Character selection and design was done really good.

Sudoku really made me laugh. :D

Audio - The voices really added to the humor of the submission. Great voice acting all around man, but there were some voices that sounded like you needed to back off of the mic a little bit so they weren't so staticy. The music and sound effects were done well too.

Overall - A great movie that I'm going to add right to my favorites. Keep the PM's coming whenever you get a new submission in. :)

tacobuttfish responds:

Hey thanks Corky! Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, the sound needs work. We finally have a digital recorder that we can equalize and tinker it to a more "television quality". We'll see you when we launch Episode 2!

[WordJumper]

Good job.

Animation/Graphics - A little sloppy and it's really the only place that I took out any score from your flash, but I almost like the sloppy style. It gives it a nice touch in my opinion. Could just be me on that though. :p Anyway, I like that the words were written out instead of typed. I do think that things like the house, apple, and the stickmen could have been done a bit better. Other than that it was an interesting style.

Story/Content - Hmm, a very original idea. You could build many episodes off of this simple concept of Word Jumping. Who knows, perhaps this will be a very popular series some day. I'd keep coming up with sequels if I was you. So yeah, mega bonus points for coming up with a great original idea with stick figures. I know that can be hard to do.

Audio - Nice background music that you used, but I do think that sound effects could have helped the flash a little better. Stuff like, "Ugghhh" when the stickmen got hit or crashing noises when words were being broken or when they were falling. I don't think you should add voices though as that would obviously defeat the whole purpose of the flash.

Overall - Work on your artwork and animation just a little bit and you could make some popular flashes.

jenno1 responds:

Hey!
Thanks for your review
It was the helpfullest so far :D
I'll appricieate your review.
and im working on more sequels!

[Once When I was a Kid2 SE]

Ha, pretty good.

Pretty funny, I don't think it was as funny as your other one, but it was still pretty funny. I guess once you see balls drop out of a girls shorts then you don't think some other things are as funny. :p

Animation/Graphics - Your drawing style is really good and for the most part your animation style is really good. Very smooth animations and I really like the pictures that you used as a mix between real pictures and flash/animation graphics.

Story/Content - Funny, but wasn't too funny. Not really enough to actually make me laugh or anything like that, but just enough to make me smile. Other than that there really isn't much behind the flash. Just random funny things that happen. It might be a funny idea for one flash to have him tell a funny story and then have the guy be like... "Yeah man that just happened a week ago." Or something to that sort. Like the story would make the viewers think that it happened when he was a little kid, but in reality he just did it not too long ago. Just me brainstorming though. :p

Audio - Great voices and a good choice of audio. I do think you could have made the audio a little bit more ambient as it was sort of loud. Any louder and it would have drowned out the voices. It was almost at the point where it was a little distracting.

Overall - A good funny story.

[MilkShake Land C3E3 EN]

Good job.

Animation/Graphics - They could have been done a little bit better, but I do like your style a little bit. I think you should include a lot of the in between animations like the characters actually walking and everything. I think that's the thing that would improve the score of your flash the most.

Story/Content - Pretty funny in most parts. The story was pretty funny and I knew this before I even watched it since I translated it for you. Anytime you need more help you know where to get a hold of me. I think the animation part would help the story be a little smoother.

Audio - Probably could work on getting some voices in the near future or something. More sound effects would have been a little better too. My favorite part was when chipmunk and pumpkin showed up and their theme music started to play.

Overall - Good job and I'm happy to translate for you anytime.

Grimasen responds:

Hi, thanks so much for all you've done.

[Happy birthday Afro_Stud!]

I think I saw this before.

I think I watched this one before and never got to actually reviewing it. :S That or just a lot of your flashes look alike.

Animation/Graphics - Kind of cheesy graphics. :P Ha, I myself wouldn't want to animate fire as I can barely animate someone walking, but perhaps the fire on the candles would have looked a little bit better animated. That and how Bahamut was just tweened back and forth for the singing part. Real simple animation and everything.

Story/Content - I have a policy that Birthday flashes and/or anniversary flashes always get a 10/10. (For the most part at least) I guess I will ask this here, but how did this get RCP? :P Ha, oh well I wasn't around when Afro was so I don't know how popular he was. Perhaps there were a lot of people that liked him or perhaps it was your amazing flash skills that won the award. Nice little deleted message at the end of the flash.

Audio - I like the voice much better than the little speaktonia voice thing that you use now and then. It sounds much better. Sound effects and everything else was pretty decent.

Overall - Here's to a super late happy birthday. Happy Birthday.

kinggila responds:

Actually, when Bahamut was singing, that wasn't tweened.

Also, Afro_Stud was pretty popular back then, so there were a lot of 10s when this was submitted.

[Bahamut: ATIO80W 02]

I loved it.

Animation/Graphics - The entire flash wasn't the best quality, but it wasn't too bad overall. Like the quality of the FAQ page wasn't the best, but I think what you had of it worked out for the flash.

Story/Content - Wow, I don't know how many people need to listen to the reasoning behind this flash. Not only for blowing your whistle on flashes, but also for writing reviews. On top of that if people just left the submissions that they didn't like alone such as the Hitler series here then they didn't have to watch it and review it. Just leave the vote and leave the submission alone. There probably wouldn't be any need for review mods if people just left the submissions alone that they didn't like.

It caught me by surprise because I thought this was going to be just a simple picture with Bahamut there at a website or something like that, but it turned into a rage filled expression. I loved the concept all around.

Audio - I so wish you would have used your voice for this, but I think it's probably a good thing in the long run that you didn't because you would have had to read the entire FAQ section that you had there. So it did make the flash a little bit more uninteresting, but you saved yourself a lot of trouble in the end. Also, the music just kind of stops. :P

Overall - The message behind the flash is awesome.

kinggila responds:

And this was back when there was only Adolf Hitler: ATWI80W. 80 was manageable, but the Pokemon series was overkill.

[The Mighty Quinn]

Not bad

First off thank you very much for the two reviews that you gave me on my submissions. It was greatly appreciated. Secondly, I'm sorry it took so long for me to get to reviewing this. I was a little busy. On to the review.

Animation/Graphics - I think for the most part you did pretty good. The drawing style was just a little rough and perhaps a little simple. If you worked on your drawing of the people and some other things a little more I couldn't see this getting anything less than a 8 to a 10 on a review.

For the most part the animation was pretty smooth. The way that you focused on the pigeons was great. Small details like that is really what makes submissions good.

Story/Content - It's usually nice to here a music video and this one was a pretty good one. Nice simple content and everything. The animation went along great with the audio and that's basically what the content of a music video should be judged on. Nice use of animations and you barely used the words, which I liked. Sometimes people get into the whole flashy word thing too much and I think you used a nice amount of it.

Audio - Of course the audio was good since it was a music video and everything. It was an interesting song to choose. It seemed like a difficult one to make a video off of, but that could be because I didn't really know what the song was about. I've actually never heard of or heard the song at all before.

Overall - The flash was a good music video. The only thing that you need to work on is probably your drawing skills a little bit. Other than that it was pretty good.

CSanimations responds:
