FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Killbot meets the clocks]

Err...

^^Good Points^^
This is a pretty bad movie. There really isn't anything that I can say is a good thing about it.

^^Needs Improving^^
First off, your graphics are terrible. Your drawings seem two dimensional and are very bland. You could use some shading or some tool other than the large paintbrush tool. There is very little animation. Maybe three or four tweens and that horrible excuse for an explosion and that is it. The storyline is lame. It seems the clocks have much more talent that you, no? Ironic.

[Dbz fight]

Pretty crappy

^^Good Points^^
The file size was low and it didn't take too long to load. Those were my favorite parts about this movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
You drawings are sub-par, the music is incredibly obnoxious and sounds like it is layered or something. There are no sound effects, your animations aren't very good, there really isn't a storyline other than these two guys are fighting.

[RSRangers: Episode One]

Fresh

^^Good Points^^
The new graphical style in this game allows you to do a lot more animating, which is very obvious in this movie. The storyline is kind of funny, and the ending is funny as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Though, the animating is better, the animations still seem to be moving a little too slow. Also, the ending seemed to stop in a weird place.

[RuneScape Rangers 2]

Yeah...

^^Good Points^^
The preloader is very cool. I liked how you took the RS load screen and made it into a preloader, which is very creative. The menu is very good as well. I liked how you switched between different background pictures, which is also nice. The RS2 graphical style is better two since it obviously lets you do a little more animating than your previous episodes.

^^Needs Improving^^
The actual movie is not as good as the preloader and menu. Like you said, nothing really happens. This could easily be combined in the next episode, which it looks like you didn't make. But you really shouldn't submit stuff so short.

[RSFuture 5]

A little better

^^Good Points^^
I've complained about your storylines in the past, but this one is really a lot better than your previous movies. The storyline in this one seems to be much more in line than the other movies. I liked how you gave us the option to shut off the music, however, this buttons should have stayed on through the whole movie and should have been more discreet. I thought it was funny how you explained why you didn't finish this at the end though.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't really like the fight scene. The fact that you had a gray background looked pretty bad, and you should have actually animated the fight instead of what you did.

Syrsly responds:

LOL! OMG, dude... I never included a music off option. The music button explained what was playing. I found that feature rather mundane (sp?) so I didn't include it in later movies.

[RSNews]

I know it's unfinished but...

^^Good Points^^
I was hoping that you would use voice overs in a news broadcast style movie, and you did, which was a refreshing change. Well done on the voice overs.

^^Needs Improving^^
In my opinion you really should not have submitted a film that was not finished, especially since it is at a point so close to the beginning. This is way too short, which didn't allow time for much of a storyline to develop, and nothing too interesting happened.

[RSFuture 4]

What? That's it?

^^Good Points^^
The best part about this was the close up drawing. I thought it was cool how you showed many different angles of the same guy at the same time.

^^Needs Improving^^
Again, this movie doesn't have a very good storyline at all. There is some guy with a guitar that plays, and then one character is in a store and asks what an NPC is. That's not a very good storyline at all. I thought perhaps this would have something more to do with the guy with the guitar. Another thing, less important, is that the music WAS a little annoying as the last reviewer said.

Syrsly responds:

Agreed.

[RSF: Quest for Perfection]

All over the place

^^Good Points^^
I love Runescape, started playing back during the RSC days, so I already like the fact that it's about RS. The up close drawings of your characters were done very well and look very cool. Perhaps you should try a whole movie done like that. I also liked the music choices. The music was always changing and always fit the mood.

^^Needs Improving^^
The storyline in this was kind of all over the place. Nothing really seemed to be related to anything else and every twenty seconds the storyline would change completely and then change again.

Syrsly responds:

Yeah, old movie... Watch RSDragoons.

[How To Raid A Bank]

Neat

^^Good Points^^
I guess if anyone wanted to know how to raid a bank, this would be the place to turn. I liked the many different scenes in this and the way you made this into a guide instead of a regular movie made it much better. I liked the interactivity in the first two scenes and liked how if you picked the wrong one, there was a quick little movie and then you picked again.

^^Needs Improving^^
One thing is that I would have liked to have seen the entire movie interactive. Just having the first two scenes interactive doesn't make much sense. Also, you could have put some more detail and shading into your scenes.
