Graeme's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Robot Run Loop]

Innovative

I loved it!
The animation is SOO smooth, and the colourful changing design really captures the interest.
The music is amazing, and couldn't fit better.

I love your little loops. Might not hold up so well as solo submissions, but if you made a compilation it would be really cool

TheBoogley responds:

yeah, I agree.
I'll try to think of a way to bring them all together into one big thing... :3

[Stickya on Keyboard]

Silly

It's odd how the most generic character in the world can be so likeable!
Maybe it's his name!
Lovin the Stickya.

If he ever does have an episode, I could voice a character ;)

Lochie responds:

I shall name my child Stickya, raise him to be the most annoyest thing in the universe.

He shall become famous.

[Sketchy Friends Dance]

Incredible!

This is truly a masterpiece!
I loved it, and watched it probably 7 times in a row!
The animations is at a level beyond smooth. It all just flows so naturally.

Every time watching it I would change which character I focused on, and I could see how flawlessly you matched motion to sound.

I love how each original, and wacky character will just receed into the darkness when their portion is complete. It is interesting to see that every character will remain on screen at all times.

I've never seen anything like this before.
Perfect choice of song for this particular piece of work.

Favorited for sure!!

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks goatie, I'm glad you liked it! It was really hard work but I'll try and keep my work to around this level of finish in the future. :)

[Join The Red Bull Collab!]

Not bad

It was a cool effect.
I liked how the smoke was drawn like outside of the lines.

And the the words that were traced out of a smoke line looked cool too. It was a neat effect. But it would have been neater, if the guy who took off was in front of the lines tracing out the words like a sky writer!!

One thing, I think a requirement for the collab, should be that it's done in the style of Reb Bull commercials.
You know, simple backgrounds. Black and White with squiggly coloring.
It would be cool if they had that common theme

Vincoid responds:

Yeah, I actually forgot adding the guy in front :P

I was also thinking about implementing that style, but I like to see a bunch of variation and people's own styles, instead of the same style all over.

I think I'll make one of my own parts in that style though. And if it turn out to be awesome, maybe a sequel or something?

I've got an even better idea! Why don't you lead by example and join? You're a great animator and it would be cool to have you on board ;)

If not, thanks for the review and I'll take the idea into consideration :)

[Mario.swf]

Wtf?

How does this get 3.82?
All you did was tween a guys eyebrows, and then have a bouncing sprite or Mario.
I know it's making fun up sprite movies, but just because it's a parody of something doesn't mean it deserves this high of a score.

You could have just put this on the BBS, or frontpage post.
If I make a a movie making fun of you making fun of a review left in a movie, I deserve atleast 4.21!? Right!!?

Sorry dude. Although he fact that someone left such a stupid review is funny, this movie is getting way too much credit

Spite responds:

Yeah I had no idea it would get this good a score. I think people just agree and give it a good vote.

I don't have front page posts, but who really reads long rants always. Especially when it could be presented visually with a quick flash. Flash is way more entertaining.

And the BBS?...are you serious?

Also its not about one person who left a stupid review its about thousands. Go check any Mario movie. There's 2 on the front page right now.

I think that effort often gets confused with its overall quality. Just because someone threw a bunch of animation around a lame joke doesn't make the joke somehow funny.

And it if it isn't necessary, than how would more animation make this joke funnier. Maybe that's what you should have left in your review.

I'm not sure what your flash deserves, but unless it has something to do with mine than you probably shouldn't be comparing. If your looking for that check your own reviews

[TT: 010 Rabbitmas]

Awesometastic!

Tasty!

I loved it! This has to have been one of my favorite in the TT series!
It was so funky, and at a reasonable pace.
The animations were so smooth, and comical. Just watching it play out puts a smile on your face.
Loved every second of this.
Way underrated.

Keep it up boys!

PS. Greatest song ever!!

MarcyVF responds:

Thank you, thank you! C: Awesome having another review from you, glad you like our work, even though slightly underrated. X(

[Piece by Piece.]

Not bad for 13

You obviously have a good grasp on FBF, and some good body movements.
A very smooth animation.

You have potential. Just keep at it, and maybe try some bigger projects. Maybe even move on the some full body stuff in the future.

The sound effects were pretty lame though.
Give:
www.findsounds.com
www.soundsnap.com
both a try. It will help a lot.

Good luck

evan210 responds:

yeah. i was about to upload it and was like "oh noes! i forgot to add sound!" so i recorded that all in one take in about 20 seconds.

[Like Birds]

Little boring

I enjoy watching mellow movies.
They make for a good watch, something you can just lay back and not think about.

That's what this was.
And it was fairly decent. But it was just to dull. When the man was flying, he just vibrated while clouds floated by. It would by nice if his wings moved, and we got to see a little bit of his pursuit of the bird.

I'm not sure, it was just lacking.

Rutger responds:

You would like some more fighting scenes, I see.

[Is that... Barry Scott?!]

Nothing too great

Doesn't really seem like much of a series.
The two had nothing in common...

That said, decent Flash. Seems rushed though.
There isn't really much animation. And the backgrounds are all just colorful gradients. Nothing too special or fancy.

I suppose it was semi-funny.
But I can't help but wonder if you just whipped this off and said it was part of the series to try and ride the mild success of the first.

I know you can do better work than this man, I've seen you do it.

DAGamesOfficial responds:

well I try, I cant please everyone, but ah well. at least I gave you a semi- laugh :D

[How Not to Time Travel.]

Funny

Really, this is an extremely funny video.
I loved how fast paced it was. It was just one joke after another.
Plus it was a fairly long video, so there were a lot of jokes too.
Funny punchline at the end too.

But now I get down to the real point of my review. I know this isn't you're fault. It's not your fault that people over rate it.
No matter how funny, it has no animation. That is essential to Newgrounds in my opinion. This move had lyp synching (ripped from Super Flash Bros) and that was about it.
There is no way something with no animation in it deserves over 3.50

Funny movie. But rated high for the wrong reason.

AlexTraynor responds:

Now, you see, in my opinion, it's FAR more important for a cartoon to be entertaining than it is for it to be good looking. People come to Newgrounds to be entertained, not to look at art. Sure, great art's always a plus, but it's not completely necessary. The limited animation suits the purposes of the movie, and if you think the movie should be disqualified from being successful because of some minor stylistic choices that most capable individuals are able of overlooking, then well, congratulations on being close-minded.

Thanks for liking the movie otherwise.
