FattyWhale's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[30 Second Collab #1]

K

^^Good Points^^
As always, a well made collab from the noob nation. Each part in this had its own good qualities to it. I liked the star wars section of this best. However, you had a good mixture of stuff in here...good graphics, not so good, etc.

^^Needs Improving^^
I don't really like the fact that no part of this had anything to do with any other part in the movie. When presented like this, I would expected some type of theme to the different parts of this.

Little-Rena responds:

I see.
Though not all of the time when presented like this they have a theme to each one.
It was just to keep things diffrent I suppose.
Yeah :S

Thanks for the review all the same.

[Daily Day 3: Adam Ant 1]

K

^^Good Points^^
A good collection of some of your daily toon works. I liked the menu, it was pretty creative, and the way you had a description for each part is great. The movies themselves are for the most part pretty good. My favorites were "Van full of retards" and "Apple Country". Great music throughout each part.

^^Needs Improving^^
I really don't like the fact that the menu button only comes at the end of each part. Menu buttons during each part are always needed.

Adam-Ant responds:

The menu buttons were put at the end so people would sit through the whole movie.

Thanks for the review and happy daily day to you sir. :)

[Daily Day 3-MrBigStick]

K

^^Good Points^^
A decent movie. The sound clip was rather funny. It was very low, and I couldn't hear a lot the first time around, but not bad. I liked how Zekey was in this, and that old man was pretty cool too.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is very empty. You didn't do much for backgrounds or anything graphical. This should be finished too. Just isn't that good unfinished.

MrBigStick responds:

the audio was called "indian car". i was looking for the song and found this dialog between two characters, and found it amusing.

^^Good Points^^
This was a cute submission. You got really creative with the images you used, and they were all well drawn. This also gave the movie some humor. Good audio quality too.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't like how long the logo screen lasted. As to improvements to the movie itself, I've got nothing :(

And by the way, what the heck was that picture of when the song said "cause" towards the end? A response would be appreciated.

MisterFeelGood responds:

Thank you very much, also for the tip.
The pictures that go with because where a B and a picture of the Greece Island Kos, I couldn't think of an easy way to visualise cause.

[Enter The Dragon]

K

^^Good Points^^
Heh, definitely a funny movie. Reading the comments you created for this made me think it was going to be a serious movie, but seeing Hitler grooving out to some funky music was completely unexpected. Nice job on making a funny little movie.

^^Needs Improving^^
I didn't like the random google images you used, like the kid from Home Alone. Stuff like that just make a movie look bad. You could have did a little better cropping some of the heads too.

Slick responds:

Heh, don't worry dude. This movie was just something stupid I made this morning. I'm glad that batting averages are only rated on your 3 highest rated movies now. It means that you can create funny, stupid submissions like this and be able to keep a high BA. Thanks for the review :)

[Super Mario Land III]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not often that a submission is based on Super Mario Land, which is neat. I liked how everything was black and white. You also used a ton of different sound clips from many different places, which was a very good thing. These were pretty funny situations you had Mario in.

^^Needs Improving^^
This was really long. I usually say things should be shorter, but seriously this just seemed to go on forever. You should have split this into multiple episodes. In my opinion, Flash movies are for quick entertainment.

Bigfoot3290 responds:

Really long? This thing was just over four minutes. Nowadays, a four minute flash is about average in length. That's alright though, and I can definitely understand your opinion here. Thanks for the review.

[3-D Motion Capture]

K

^^Good Points^^
This was a fair submission. You did an excellent job with the drawings. I liked how they were constantly changing slightly. The angles were just about perfect, you did an excellent job with making this realistic. The music also went well with this.

^^Needs Improving^^
I would have liked this much better if it were colored or at least had some type of storyline, even if a small one was incorporated.

Flameviper responds:

I will probably do more in the future that hav storylines and colour. This one was just trying out the technique and seeing what the Newgrounds response would be (in this case, awesome). The funny thing is that this took almost no skill (except with the line tool, lol) and almost three weeks, it's only 30 seconds long, and it got awesome reviews. The Wrath of Dicey, which is like 2 minutes long, took awesome Flash skills, and took me almost three months, got OK reviews. LOL.

[Mr.Kiwi's Story]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not a bad movie, especially for your first. The storyline was cute, I liked it. Your characters are unique and the storyline was unique and explained well also.

^^Needs Improving^^
As you said, the animations are really quite crude. I can deal with that, but my major problem about this is that it was pretty boring. The storyline seemed to drag on forever and I had to force myself to watch to the end. The lack of sound doesn't help your situation either. You definitely need to add sound.

omnimike responds:

Thanks for the constructive comment, I agree the pace can be improved and adding sound and music would help, I'll work on those if time permit :)

[No Moustache, No Life.]

K

^^Good Points^^
Not bad at all. You had great graphics. Lots of small subtle animations and great shading. I really liked the constant music or sound effects. The ending really clinched this though. Completely unexpected.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought this progressed really slow in the beginning and I got quite bored with it!

Daagah responds:

If I'd made the movie "fast progessed" it would've lasted for like 20 seconds, and then you'd be complaining about it being too short... thanks though.

[Clay Animation V Animator]

K

^^Good Points^^
An interesting idea for a clay movie. Instead of making a cheap knox ripoff like most people do, you actually made something creative and it turned out quite well. Everything is very smooth, even with your hand incorporated into the stopmotion. This was pretty fun to watch.

^^Needs Improving^^
I thought the characters could have been cleaned up a bit. They just seem like they were made very quickly, with lots of small details just just don't look right.

PhynStudios responds:

Thankyou for the good points.
The reason the characters were so bad was because it made itself. In Animation Vs Animator its just a stick man, because its the most simple thing to do and torture, and we underestimate them all.
