FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Safety Turkey]

Well...

^^Good Points^^
Safety Turkey, with real turkey-like sound effects! The sound of a turkey always makes me laugh, so this is quite funny, even though maybe the message wasn't really supposed to be. I liked how you used real life photos in with this as well as your own drawings.

^^Needs Improving^^
...however, I don't really like your drawings. It's all done with the paintbrush tool it seems, which doesn't allow for really good drawing or a lot of detail.

[The Rest Room]

That must suck.

^^Good Points^^
This is a pretty funny movie. I liked the dialogue in this. Your character's dialogue was casual, which made it very funny. I liked the clothespin part, and the ending as well. This is a strange movie, but definitely worth the time.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't like the drawings at all. It's alright to have a little variety between each frame, but this is just ridiculous. Your animations are kind of slow too.

[The Fight of The Sticks]

A decent fight.

^^Good Points^^
Your animations weren't too shabby, and I liked how you got creative with the different moves. You always used different attacks for each guy and this wasn't repetitive at all, and the ending was a surprise as well. The sound effects were right on too. This is a decent fight but definitely has its flaws.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is a bit too short by today's standards. Add some more fighting, maybe some pumped up techno music, and you've got a lot higher score.

[Once - Music Video]

Ok...

^^Good Points^^
I thought the music wasn't too bad. Not a band that I would bother buying a CD from, but not too bad. Some parts of this were pretty abstract, and I liked that as well.

^^Needs Improving^^
Nothing that happens in the movie really has anything to do with the lyrics to the song. Your drawings are lack luster, and man did you really whore out the shape tweening! Lay off that a little and you'll be much better.

[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.
