FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the INTERNAUT]

K

^^Good Points^^
Ok, definitely a very unique image. I'm not sure what exactly is going on in this, but it's really quite interesting. I can only imaging what is going on in those VR goggles. The music added to the humor as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
This seems more like a BBS post than a movie. It's just a picture with some music, not really a movie at all, and because of that I can't really rate this too highly. Sure it was funny and all, but it just doesn't show much time and effort.

[Eggcup's Bad Christmas]

K

^^Good Points^^
A good short, I'm glad you made it. Everything in this was very simplistic, which made the file size very low and quick to load. Even though it was short and simple, the storyline was still pretty funny. I wasn't expecting that poor peggy to get stabbed by a sword :(

I noticed in your spinning green/red thing behind the sock was a little poorly made. There were some white spots in there, and the lines didn't really intersect at one point at all.

[SM:SunMafiaIntro (Undone)]

K

^^Good Points^^
I liked the music. Not often I hear a song like "Festival of Ghost" in a submission, so good job on having a unique tune. The graphics weren't too bad. Your characters were drawn good, and some other parts had good details too, like the lightsabers. The animations weren't bad either.

^^Needs Improving^^
This seems to be just a bunch of random events to me. There isn't much concurrence in the events that unfold in this movie, which I didn't like. And really, I didn't like the idea of a Sun Mafia. Just seems like a cheap ripoff to me. So far, you haven't earned my respect.

[Santa's Watching]

K

^^Good Points^^
I liked this movie. It was quick, which is always good to see among some of the longer movies today. The animations were good, especially the explosion, I liked that part, and it made me laugh. The sound effects were the best part though. It was neat how you made Santa's sleigh sound like a jet of some sort, and his evil laugh was comical.

^^Needs Improving^^
I just think that the initial scene with the house does not have as impressive graphics as the rest. It just looks like you started this a while ago then got more used to the program and created better graphics. Try to make them more consistent.

[LL: Christmas Special]

K

^^Good Points^^
The drawings and shading was pretty impressive. You put a lot of realistic gradients and shading in here to make it more realistic looking. I even liked the style of drawings in the Lock that forgot Christmas.

^^Needs Improving^^
There seems to be a big problem with the sound for this movie. During the lock that forgot Christmas, there were some voice overs and sound effects that played, which didn't seem to fit, and then after that scene, there were no sound effects or voices, which were played a tad bit too early. This was a very huge flaw. Not to mention that the humor in this wasn't really my style. Very dry humor.

[Something Fishy]

K

^^Good Points^^
A rather unique movie. The animating style is definitely unique. It seemed more just like snapshots taken over and over and then played in sequence, which is a neat thing. I actually liked the animations, since I thought they were kind of humorous. The drawings were pretty cute, especially the cat. Storyline was cute also, and kind of clever.

^^Needs Improving^^
I liked the song, since it sounded like a cat meowing, but towards the end it got really obnoxious. Also, it seemed to cut off a little before I had expected it too. Made the flash seem unfinished.

[The Gimp]

K

^^Good Points^^
I thought this movie was kind of funny. Thought it would be much worse with the comments it has gotten. It was kind of funny how the guy kept falling out. The sound effects and voices weren't too bad either.

^^Needs Improving^^
I can't say that the image quality was even that good, which was the featured graphics in this. The voice overs could have been a little clearer as well. Also, very short. You could have come up with some more things to do.

[The End of Time]

K

^^Good Points^^
A very good effort and an interesting movie. Though the storyline has no voices and really no people or characters, it still has an interesting storyline, which is neat. I liked the sound effects, and the song was good even though it didn't have much to do with the movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
The art could have used the most improving. I see you didn't really use and shading at all, which is pretty easy to do. Also, you used a large paintbrush quite a bit, which just looks unprofessional. I think the introduction at the beginning are really too long. They are almost as long as the movie itself...

[The Printer]

K

^^Good Points^^
The sound was about the only good part with this movie. The sound effects were very good for the computer. Sounded just like one warming up, and the printer was realistic too. I thought the preloader sound clip was kind of funny.

^^Needs Improving^^
Overall this movie was not made very well in my opinion. The graphics were pretty crude. There was no blending in his body parts, they looked all separate. Also, I noticed that when he drops the coffee mug his thumb seems to drop with it. Just another sign of rushed animation. Then there is the fact that this movie makes absolutely no sense at all, and I had no idea what was going on, which hurt a lot.

[The Newgrounds Tutorial]

K

^^Good Points^^
The music was good. It was nice and loud and high quality. You sure didn't compromise the quality of this. The image quality was likewise, pretty high.

^^Needs Improving^^
Not a very good tutorial compared to others. And you submit it at this time, after the new layout and levels were originally supposed to be released? It is known that they are coming soon, at which time this tutorial will become obsolete and have completely wrong information in it. I don't really like how you made this like a movie. A tutorial with a menu and sections is much easier to reference so one doesn't have to watch the whole thing to get certain information. Also, some of the information is not explained very well. I didn't like your level synopsis, and the B/P thing wasn't very clear either.
