Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[I'd Like To Apologise]

Ha.

Well I obvioulsy knew what was going to happen right from the start of the flash and just by looking at the title. So pretty much predictable, boring, unoriginal, etc.. At least that was my thought until I read, "When people point this out to me, I often insult them or make an irrelevant comment about raping their children." Ha, that got me to laugh man. That made this flash right here. While the rest of it was predictable, you still managed to slip in humor with that comment right there. Also, the randomness towards the end was much needed in a flash submission like this. Props for making it funny.

Sidorio responds:

Fuck you, I'm going to rape your kids for this.

[Congratulations, John!]

Lol

Oh boy. I love these submissions because the make people so upset for some reason. Ha, what is there to get offended by on a flash like this? The ones that were like, OMG HE DIDN'T WIN MAN. That's what makes submissions like this worth it every now and then. Of course I'm required to make a real review and everything so... It wasn't really much in terms of graphics. Perhaps something more than just a picture flipping back and forth and a little message at the bottom. There we go, done with that. Anyway, did you make one for Obama too? So if Obama lost you could submit it and get the same reaction from people?

Sidorio responds:

No, I knew John would loose. He's just too shit.

[Xaos: Breaking News]

Lol

I love when people take things from the forums and make flashes about it. Even though this flash is kind of hypocritical since it had no more animation more than a couple of different movements and wasn't any different than me taking a thread and making my flashes, which for some reason you didn't understand and you come back and do the same thing. Oh well, what you really need to do is get the audience animated. That's what would have made it good. I thought it was quite commical that the main speaker looked like a penis with a cock. Did you do that on purpose? Such as restating that the person who started this whole thing was a cock or did it just end up turning out like that? I guess it could be translated either way, but it's funny either way. The only reason that I recommend adding some animation in more than the random hand movings that you had was because it was boring to watch. Yes fun to listen to, but barely any animation here. It's pretty much the piece of audio getting your score to the point where it was. And since that audio is so long it just makes the flash boring without these extra things added to them. Anyway, hopefully some people don't come along and find this flash serious and give you low scores because of that. Also, 600 flash reviews with this review. ^^

Little-Rena responds:

There was more I planned on doing but I had a moment of memory lapse and totally forgot what it was, such as the eyebrows I was going to add.

As for the guy looking like a cock, yes that was intended, I wanted to imply that the guy was a total cock.

[Chickenscratch: Episode 1]

Not to bad.

Not that bad at all. I like the simple animations like this. Sometimes they are just as fun to watch as the really highly rated submissions. So I thought your animation and graphics, while just a little rough, weren't that bad. Not to say they don't need just a little work, but not too much. Sometimes the mouth didn't really sync up with the voice acting and everything. The bomb exploding needed to be animated just a tad bit better and the sound that followed the explosion could have been timed just a bit better. What really needs to be worked on is the voice acting. What I recommend is moving away from the mic so you aren't catching that nasty breathing noise that you almost managed to get in every single line. Also, when yelling don't lower your voice. It sounded like you were doing a fake yell. The one that people do when they want to represent yelling and they actually make their voice more quiet by doing this. So the biggest thing to improve on about this submission was by far the voice acting. I think that I would have rated it much better if it wasn't for the poor voices.

malestro responds:

We're getting real voice actors.

[What is love-haddaway]

Hey not bad.

You are getting better at animating my friend. I think as long as you take your time and keep working on your submissions like you have been then you will be a very good animator some day. The drawing was simple. Not much too look at, but I understand since you are still a beginner at flash animations. Too bad you didn't give him a body and a basic background. Even if the body and background wasn't animated at least it would be more pleasing to the eyes of the viewers. The animation was synced very well with the music. So good job on that. That tells me that you will be able to successfully match voices with the mouth movements in future flash submissions. The audio, I love it. ^^ Haha, I really do love this song man. Anyway, keep working and good luck on your future submissions. I hope this passes.

fallensoul289 responds:

yeah i really rushed it and im kicking myself for it but i want to see how good my mouth animation is

[Drug Pusher?!]

Lol

Now this is more like it. This flash was kind of funny. The only things I can recommend fixing is perhaps things like a couple pictures by making them better quality. You also could have fixed up the mouse a little bit and made the animation and the drawing of it better. Sometimes there wasn't enough time to read everything there so maybe you could have made it so the mouse that you animated followed your mouse and you could actually click on the buttons instead of it just being a movie. This way we could have had all of the time we needed to read things and when it got to the computer you could have hid small secret messages and had easter eggs in some of the files. Perhaps even a mini game or something like that like minesweeper in the files of the computer. With that said though I still like the concept of the flash that you had.

Thanks.

[ADITLOY 1 - Pilot]

LOLOLOL

Hey weren't you going to make a series out of this? I remember the one time that you talked to me on AIM you said you were going to make a series out of Yoshi and his friends and that you were going to include me in it. =P What ever happened to that idea? I think it's a really good idea though! I wouldn't mind doing that, but what the hell does a Corky look like? Unless you could make me some custom Corky bobble head sprites I don't think I could come up with anything for me. This is a pretty good idea though and I like the basic idea behind it. Oh what I wouldn't do to be decent at flash. I would submit two flashes everyday for awhile probably. =P I loved the random explosion. That was pretty fucking random/epic. Nice job there.

Sispri responds:

Thank you soooo much for this review omgomgomg!!! I am going to individually respond to all your reviews now.

For starters, yeah the character was shaky and the gameplay laggy. But you gotta cut me some slack on the scripting of the .clipEvents. The music WAS indeed superior and Andrew W.K. is without doubt awesome. But I digress as this was a mere BETA test. In the future I hope to release even more unique stuff like this. Perhaps this time with a lovable character such as a talking pumpkin.

I really hope this game gets sponsored. I could really use some money for gas. Otherwise I'll have to get a job and there goes my right-side creativity. Baw well.
Thanks again though. I will continue to improve with my journey in the wonderful world of Flash.

[Trilogy ofthe Yellow Rose]

Not bad at all man.

Animation/Graphics - Well, I actually like sprite animations. =P A couple of your drawings weren't the best, but they weren't that bad. Things like the clouds could have been done much better, but this is the first episode of yours that had enough animations to fill the in between motions in. The introduction and the credits were great animation/graphics wise.

Story/Content - Not only one of your first submissions that was decent animation wise, but one of your first stories that wasn't that bad story wise. I think that the animation and story work together in most cases though. When you do have the small animations its just like pictures there with text talking back and forth with each other.

Audio - Nice selection of audio for the introduction, but why not continue it through the entire piece? Or perhaps at least change the audio up and use something different when the actual movie is playing. I also think that you could work on voice acting a little bit. That could get rid of some of that annoying text and it's much easier to listen to if you have sound effects and voices.

Overall - Has potential if a few things are worked out on it.

ZiggyZack99 responds:

OK.

[All Your Leet]

Beleive it or not. D:

This is one of your better animated movies. You really aren't that bad at making movies. If you would take your time I think you could create a pretty good flash someday. Therefor I can also make a review like I usually make reviews. =P

Animation/Graphics - Not the best, but I think all you had to do was work on the in between animation. Without it you didn't get any real animation. It's more like pictures that move here and there. Things like walking, mouth movement, etc.. Those are the things that make flashes good animation wise.

Story/Content - I liked the way the flash started off... then it got spammy towards the end. :( Believe it or not I have never saw the submission that you are tributing here. I will have to check it out to fully understand the humor in this submission. Well.. honestly to understand any of the humor. It's apparently famous here on newgrounds, but I haven't seen a lot of famous flashes.

Audio - The voices were alright, but needed to be better. These would be so much better with voice actors instead of those mechanical voices that you use. I can see where the pictures were going by and why the voices would be alright there though.

Overall - Starts off good and then gets spammy. Needed work on the in between animations such as walking and mouth movements and also needs voice actors instead of those other voices.

[{PS} IT's NOT spam U faG!]

Why am I reviewing this? =P

Well I'm going to review this because obviously you aren't the real Point Seclusion. You know why? Because this was so much better than any of their stuff that I have ever seen. The play button itself was so much better than any of their stuff. The menu that you created was so much better than any of their stuff. I think you guys could put them out of business because your work is so much better in every way. I rather look at pictures of penguins than I would read a bunch of "crazy laws". I know I'm coed on one or two of their flashes, but I had nothing to do with them and I'm not a part of their club. They were just flashes that won awards and we made some sort of trade off. Anyway, this is far from spam when you compare it to the real point seclusion flashes.

xPointSeclusionx responds:

Yeah, it's pretty weird that even through they have those 1000+ members, noone from them can do anything half-decent.

Thanks for a great review
