Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nintendo Story ep 3]

Pretty good :D

Animation/Graphics - Not the best, but really not that bad at all. They could have used just a little bit of work. I'm not complaining though since I can't really come close to it.

Story/Content - Hmm, I don't really understand some of it. ^^ I loved the action so I guess that's really all that matters. I loved the fight with Mario that was really good. I loved the humor especially in the part where he pulls the turtle's head out of it's shell so it would get hit by the other turtle shell. Good stuff there. ^^The outtake scenes were pretty good. I think you should have made a lot more of those. They are always my favorites.

Audio - The audio used was good. The voices and sound effects were also fine. I think you should have added some simple Mario background music to the outtakes though.

Overall - Not the best in terms of animation and graphics, but it's generally a fun submission to watch.

Gustavos responds:

Well finally one of you gets around to reveiwing.

I didn't put background music in the outakes because the file size would be put way up, and it's big enough as it is. There's really not much to say to this reveiw. All these problems are ones I already took note of. But thanks anyway for reveiwing.

[You Can Only Dream]

Not bad, but a couple of things bothered me.

Comments before actual review - How did this do at school? Was it graded? I'm sure you received a good grade if it was.

Animation/Graphics - Very good drawing and pretty smooth animation for the most part. I had no problems with the drawing, but I do think that the animation of him walking away from the camera, when his back is turned to the camera, could be a bit smoother. It wasn't that great of a walking animation at the part, but it wasn't terrible either. Something that you can improve on perhaps in a future submission. Also, the hair on his legs wasn't the best drawn. I think you could have improved on that just a little also.

Story/Content - I really like the message that you are getting through here! A good flash in terms of story. Now the length of each scene is what bothered me. I guess I could have covered this in animation/graphics, but I guess it's alright to cover here too. Each scene was there for way to long. It's not that long scenes make a movie bad, but in this case when there is little to no animation in some of the scenes it can make it a bit boring. Now the transitions such as the fades, zoom ins and zoom outs, the pans from the top of the screen down, and the speed that the letters came in were all way to slow. This is the biggest reason that I took points away. They needed to be much quicker. I know you were going for the slow effect, but you might have had too much of it here.

Audio/Sound effects - The background music was a very nice selection here. I notice that you didn't add audio when you had submitted this, but it was a very good idea to add it in later. Now the sound effects were almost completely good, but I again found something that I didn't think exactly fit. The sounds of his foot steps didn't really sound good. Perhaps they were too loud or perhaps they just sounded weird. Also, they didn't always time up with the actual animation of his steps.

Overall - Decently animated and a very nice message you are trying to get across with this flash. I should give you around a 7, but I liked the flash so I bumped it up to 8.

[The ladys room]

That was fucking awesome man!

Comments before actual review - Amazing. I had no clue that somebody in my Ghost/Supernat. Club had the flash talent that you have. I would like to team up with you, but maybe with your talent you can't be bothered with a writer since you obviously have a great imagination of your own.

Animation/Graphics - Amazing drawing and amazing animations. I am really impressed with it man. Creepy drawing style and everything. The animation was really smooth. All around good job with this section.

Story/Content - Wow, you came up with all of this? That impresses me. The detail that you went into and the angles that you used were very well thought out. The story line and everything was completely amazing. I don't think you could of made it much better. Was it scary? To me no, but you already know that I handle myself pretty well in scary situations.

Audio - Decent voice acting. I liked the laughs used when the ghosts eyes were laughing. Some of the sound effects might have been a little iffy, but overall the audio of this submission was pretty well done.

Overall - This is going to be one of my favorite flashes now. It was really good. I'm going to send you a PM and see if you would like to work on some stuff with me sometime.

[Obama Supporters Suck]

Loved it. Loved it all the way.

You said it all in your author comments man. The flash just added humor to it. :D Why get so offended by obvious trolls and jokes? People really have lost their sense of humor. It's just not Obama supporters. If McCain won there would be jokes and trolls about him also and the McCain supporters would probably react in the same exact way. Why do people get so offended because something is said about the president that they liked? I have no clue, but amen to this flash. Added to my favorites.

Grumio responds:

Exactly!

If only more people were like you, NG might have some hope.

[Fulp Baby!]

Lmao.

That was pretty fucking epic if I may say so myself. This really does deserve the daily third that it got. Sorry for the short review, but funny as hell. It has great humor and everything. This may be start of a new collection of Tom Kid flashes. Great job man.

JoSilver responds:

I like short reviews as long as they get to the point cause sometime people write long reviews and all you really have to do is look at they're closing statement and save your self 30 seconds of reading, lol!
And thank you, maybe I do deserve this award but I won my first from this!!!! LOL!!

[FlashSaga2: Space]

Hm, not bad.

Animation/Graphics - Again, this needs a lot of work. Not only does the drawings and smoothness of the drawings need to be worked on like the last flash that I reviewed of yours, but also the animation isn't very smooth this time around. Sometimes it was just a bit glitchy. Again, probably the only reason I took points away again.

Story/Content - Random/Experimental so I can't really review on a story here, but it was an alright concept I guess. Nothing too exciting or anything. I don't know if that was because of the content of the flash, or the quality of the content though. I still think if the animation/graphics were better then maybe this section would of also been better.

Audio - Again, synced well. This seems to be a popular song for people who want to sync music and their animation in the way that you have.

Overall - It just seems like I've seen a bunch of these, but that's probably because I watched Night-Mare's video "In My Mind" and several animations that have used this song like that. Again, just work on the animation and graphics. That will make your flashes so much better.

[The Three Commandments]

Not bad.

Comments before actual review - How was your grade?

Animation/Graphics - Kind of simple. These could of really been worked on and it would of really helped your score of the flash, even though it seems like your flash passed with a pretty good score anyway. Just kind of sloppy for the most part, but with a little work that could improve.

Story/Content - Hm, some good stuff in here. I was personally kind of bored with it, but I think that had something to do with the audio.. Nothing much more to talk about here.

Audio - The voice... was just bot like. It sounded like a robot at least. Is that what you used? If so I think you should do voice acting for your flash animation next time and if that was your voice than you do need to put a little bit more emotion in to it.

Overall - Has potential, but the voice just goes on and on like an actual lecture from a teacher that would make someone bored.

LenardNotLenny responds:

I got a perfect score.

I was hoping for more constructive criticism from the RRC... I personally like the robot-esque voice and the simple graphics, but I'd agree that it doesn't really exercise a whole lot of skill.

[mightypotato B-day Bash]

Nice.

Looks like mightypotato has really cleaned up from his former self. D: We don't want to remember back to those days. And who are we kidding anyway? He doesn't really need a box blur that big does he?

[7C's Goes Clubbin']

I missed some.

You had a couple get by me. :P Oh well I'm here to give them a review. Some interesting people in that club. Looks like some people are going to get lucky tonight. :D

[Tywo At Large Ep. #3]

Alright let's see here.

Comments before actual review - It's about time that I got around to reviewing this. It's still weird meeting someone on Newgrounds that basically lives a half hour away from you. This is by far a great improvement of the flash that I have seen you create years ago when we were at the computer fair thing at Penn Tech.

Animation/Graphics - Great, amazing at that. To be honest one of the, if not the best animated movies I have ever seen on Newgrounds. These really do deserve a place in the top 50 in my opinion just by the animation/graphics alone. Colors, backgrounds, smoothness of both the drawings and the animation, etc.. They are all awesome. I did get a little glitches here and there, but I'm assuming that it's more my computer/internet speed than it is your movie.

Story/Content - Ha, pretty funny. And long! I was surprised that the animation was as in depth as it was. I know the Sayre one that you made back in the day was based on your school so was this one based on the inside of your school or was everything made up? You have a good set of characters and a good amount of simple humor which makes the submission enjoyable to watch.

Audio - The audio was clear at all times. I didn't really see anything wrong with it at all. This had great sound effects, great background music, and great voice acting.

Overall - One of the best movies here on the website. I hope it gets its own collection sometime. Tom seems to like it so I'm guessing the chances are good.

Pixmintro responds:

Wow, thanks man! RRC Review #1! There are few glitches in the movie I notice but don't point out just so hopefully nobody elase points out :D. This is actually a completely made up school in the make believe town of Baxton Creek, MD. Some aspects of it parallel my high school, such as the door-locker-door-locker set-up but it more reflects my old middle school. The courtyeard windows visible next to Tywo during the lockdown are actually lifted from neighboring Athens High School. :) Thanks man, very indepth review, I'll try to keep up the good work.
