Fro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Koopa shell of doom]

Short and to the point.

Animation/Graphics - Very smooth. You have a way of making simple sprites look very good. I'm sure that has something to do with how you don't rush your submissions and you take your time.

Story/Content - Not bad at all. It was a quick simple scene. It really didn't make me laugh that much, but I think that was because it was just a bit predictable. It's like that's exactly what I knew was going to happen when looking at the title and putting two and two together. Still a good short submission that was fun to watch.

Audio - The audio was synced very well and went well with the animation. Good Mario music, sound effects, and that "waiting" song that you had on the 5 hours later text.

Overall - <3 ;)

ThePigeonMaster responds:

I really like your detailed reviews, it gives me all the things that I need to make myself better at animating :D

Thanks <3

[The Stickwinner]

That was also gay, but this would have potential..

If you wanted to try. =P

Animation/Graphics - You included more actual animation this time around, but the animation was very slow. Like when he flipped the gun in the beginning and it took forever to actually flip in the air. If it was suppose to be slow motion you never gave use any clues that it was like sound effects or a blurred effect or anything. It needs more things like walking and maybe a fight scene. Something like the Stickwinner shooting the gun at the other sticks would help too. Now the drawings also need work even if it is just stickmen.

Story/Content - Really it's not a bad story at all, but the content and the way that you show it make the story bad. Of course it's a great jump from the trailer that you made. I think the story would naturally become better when things like the animation and audio are fixed.

Audio - Um, you were messing up the voices on perhaps I found out later in the flash, but still you couldn't understand any of them. Some were so slow and drawn out that you couldn't tell what he was saying and some were so fast that you couldn't tell what he was saying. Also the voice didn't always sync up with the animation of the mouse. So yes, these things need to be worked on even though for some reason you did the voices on purpose. =P

Overall - This would be a good flash if you actually worked on it and tried hard. It has the potential.

Sad...

[The Stickwinner Trailer]

That was.. pretty gay my friend. >.<

Animation/Graphics - Ah, not good lol. The animation was really rough and skippy and laggy and all of that bad stuff. D: Also, it wasn't drawn that good even for stickmen. :( Oh well, this was one of your earlier pieces of work so I will give you some mercy points here. ;)

Story/Content - I guess I couldn't get into the story of it too much because.. well because of the animation, but I do hope that the next one turned out to be good. At least I hope the next one turned out to be better then this one did, but I guess I will figure that out as I review it in the near future.

Audio - Alright music... could have used better sound effects and everything. Not much more to say about the audio other than that.

Overall - A trailer it may be, but it doesn't really get the people too interested in the upcoming movie does it? At least it didn't get me that interested. :( Ah, who am I kidding. I love sticks. :D

ZiggyZack99 responds:

The stuff screwed up... :(

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Ghouls]

I liked it. Good job. :D

Comments before actual review - Hm, you might of hit a soft spot here with this flash. ;) I happen to love animations and/or drawings with pacman in it.

Animation/Graphics - Very simple, but I liked the style here. Pretty good and kind of that humorous animation style that you would expect to see. You had pretty smooth animation and the colors used were pretty good.

Story - This was a pretty good part of the flash because it caught me by complete surprise. I was expecting to see something like just a ghost killing people, but towards the end I was like, "WTF is this smiley face doing in the flash? It's just kind of ruining what he did so far.." Then I realized that it was pacman and then it gave me a good laugh. I put two and two together with the pacman and the ghost. :P

Audio - Good audio you used here in the background. You didn't really have sound effects or anything in it, but they weren't needed in this flash.

Overall - A nice short flash with pretty good humor. You have a nice style of animation also even though it is just a bit simple.
