FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Demise of a Match]

K

^^Good Points^^
I usually don't watch high-scoring submissions, because they have a tendency to be quite long, but you had a great package in a pretty short time, which is notable. I really liked the three dimensional effects in this, they were very believable. The artwork was beautiful overall. I loved the cartooney sound effects too, and the voice overs were cute. Superb ending, you really made that scene intense and funny at the same time.

^^Needs Improving^^
I felt the sound effects could have been a little less powerful, as they are they could be annoying to some people, just by sheer volume.

Wonchop responds:

Heh thanks.

As always, the NN has developed a good movie for me to watch and review! It's always pleasant dealing with you fellows. This was rather funny. I like how you went through the entire castle and met all of the well-known NN members, as well as some unknown ones, like that diver! The music was great throughout, as were the graphics. You had very cool drawings, and good animations too.

^^Needs Improving^^
You should really have voice overs, or at least make the subtitles more noticeable. I'm sure I missed some things that were said because I didn't even notice the subtitles changed!

Little-Rena responds:

Yeah, I did want voices but couldn't find anyone to do them P:
And my voice acting skills are pritty poor, lol.

I could have included some other members of NN but ran out of ideas, lol.

Thanks for the review.
I always enjoy reading them :)

[CC promo for oths]

K

^^Good Points^^
The graphics were very good. You had above average drawings, with lots of detail. It's hard to draw the human body, and in such detail takes a lot of skill. The animations were pretty life-like too.

^^Needs Improving^^
For one, I have no idea what this is a promo for. This was just a clip of a few people running, which wasn't very interesting. Also, think of not putting CC in the title. I thought this would be about clocks.

lumanious responds:

haha thanks alot man, anyway its the introduction to a speech givn by my highgschool coach to promot the cross coundtry team ( CC ) lol thanks for watchn and reviewin!

^^Good Points^^
The drawings were decent. Well, they were all right, I suppose. I guess the shading made this look half decent. The music was at least high quality too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I'm really surprised this even got this score, considering it is just a loop that last for about two seconds. It really isn't that funny either. Some guy swinging and a bunch of other guys just happy they won the Olympics... what?

IAmSaul responds:

Not everything has to have a point to it, this didn't.
Many people like just random peices of stuff they can wonder at and try and figure out what's going on, so i made one for those people.

[the best jutsu ever]

K

^^Good Points^^
The drawings were probably the best parts of this. You have good animating skills too, and most of the stuff was pretty well defined.

^^Needs Improving^^
This could use a bunch of improvement. The main problem is that this is too hard to follow. This is caused one by the lack of sound, which makes this seem to move a lot faster. Also, without color it is harder to see what is going on during the movie. You should improve these next time you make a movie.

Kitsaku responds:

Thank you for your kind and honest critique. Almost everyone has said the same thing though, so it comes as no surprise everyone thinks sound and color are a must XD. I JUST learned how to add sound, and I think Tweening is my next big step. I'll add color when I'm a bit more comfortable with animating... but thank you so much for your critique.

[Albuquerque: THE MOVIE]

K

^^Good Points^^
I agree, it is amazing no one has taken the time to make a movie for this song, but I think the reasons are obvious. I'm really glad that someone actually had the patience. This was definitely worth watching all eleven minutes, which is something I rarely do with Flash movies. The characters you created were amazing. The main guy was quite interesting, and he fit the song well. The drawings were very well done, and I really loved how you animated this. This followed the song exactly, and you added a ton of stuff into this to make it even better. Great job, this will definitely get a daily award (or at least it should!).

^^Needs Improving^^
Hmm...perhaps the scene select would serve more at the beginning of the movie.

RWappin responds:

The scene selection IS at the beginning of the movie. ;)

[Law & Order]

K

^^Good Points^^
This wasn't a bad movie. The best part had to be the music and voice overs. The voice overs were very well acted and varied a lot from character to character, which is quite important. There were a few funny parts in this too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like the graphic style you used. The way you animated them talking just looks stupid, and you didn't really sync the talking to the voices either. The animating was pretty bad overall.

SharkFin-Maniac responds:

I agree with you completely, the lip synching sucks.

The casting worked so well because of MiRa - he brings off these really weird voices!

[PeanutButterJelly PWN'D!]

K

^^Good Points^^
Well I hate the whole PB+J thing just as well as anyone else does, so naturally I liked this. The abrupt ending was about the best thing in this, and I liked how the character reacted during the whole thing. It was pretty unexpected at the point he made the shot.

^^Needs Improving^^
As much as I hate PB+J, I can't say this was a great submission. You made about as much effort as the movies you are insulting! There were hardly any animations besides the tweening of a movie clip and the gun shot. I think this could have been much better.

PorkenStuff responds:

Well.... If I did much more to make it better, I'd stray from the plot. It was just a simple animation on why I hate those PBNJ things. Also, it was my first realy experiment with sprites. Thanks for the cunstructive review!

[Boy Wilson takes a walk]

^^Good Points^^
The graphics in this were good. You used accurate shading and good animations too. I liked the music and sound effects you used in this too. The ending was also cool with that sound effect.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like the storyline in this. The viewer doesn't even find out what happens to this dude. He just gets hit by rocks out of no where. I would have liked to know where from. I felt bad for the little man!

TehDeuce responds:

It was supposed to be just a random brutal movie, but the next one will satisfy your needs for a better plot.

[My Little Intro on CC]

K

^^Good Points^^
Better than most CC intros on NG. The graphics were actually pretty good. There was lots of shading and realistic lighting, which is always a good thing. The animations were smooth too.

^^Needs Improving^^
The jokes weren't that good, and they are used in a lot of CC intro movies. The whole "Hello my name is" deal is really overused and so is the interaction with the triangle. I wouldn't mind seeing more movies by you though.

EraserLock responds:

:D
