idle's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tomas et la Fraise]

I didn't get a chance...

To review this movie when I originally viewed it, so I am fixing that now!

Excellent work on this one, Munglai. Great take on the classic strawberry storyline; the animation was nice and appropriate, complimenting the flash well. Only positive things to say about this one!

IMO quite possibly one of the best Clock Day entries I have ever seen. All class.

[The Epic Raid on NG]

Awesome.

Haha, yeah, that was good. At first I was really disapointed that I wasn't online during the "raid", as I wanted to see the fail in person, but I had no idea it would be this epically bad. It's a good thing I was linked to your submission so I could get the lowdown.

I mean seriously, for a raid, what a disgrace. As I said, it's not that I thought anything would happen anyway, but I did think there would be more than this.

Nice little tribute flash to quite possibly the least effective raid in interwebs history.

Radioactive24 responds:

Yeah they were "too lazy". lmao.

But yeah, thanks for the vote.

[Cuboy Ep.1]

Wow. Wow. Wow.

That was one of the best animations I have seen on NG in a while, and totally unexpected too! The art itself perfectly matched the humor, and added to the hilarity in bucket loads.

For me though, the overall style of the Flash is where it's at. It's quite rare to see an animation where everything is working well, but this is definitely one!

This really was top stuff, and I'm awaiting more Cuboy episodes with baited breath.

[Dr0kn Space]

I believe you have my b-b-beer.

Haha, Office space is one of my favourite movies, so I always enjoy a good tribute, which this was.

Something about hilarious still frames with mouth movements always gets me, and you couldn't have picked a better scene. I agree with Twiminy's comment about editing the stapler, but this is a minor detail.

Now that I have finished laughing, I have one final comment: Make more plz.

[Battle for the Skyway]

Very Nice.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by that flash. In my opinion, the intro was a little dull and lacking, and also somewhat drawn out, but you made up for this with some quality (if simplistic) animation. The characters well well-drawn and designed, and you had a good theme running through your submission. From a direction point of view, your scenes were very well done, with good execution, making up for some of their simplicity.

The audio was decent enough, and fitted the actual animation well. Nice music selection, and a decent amount of fx gave you a good score here. I also liked the story (from what has been told so far).

Great work here Giovanni, I hope to see more of your work in the future. It may have been short, but that doesn't mean it wasn't quality.

[Curfew - Video Portal Pls]

Woo Hoo.

There just isn't enough quality 3D on Newgrounds at the moment - enter forsterbar! I really liked that submission, everything about it worked well. The graphics themselves were detailed and smooth (I'm talking about the high-quality version of Curfew here), and worked really well with the subject matter.

Great audio choice, although perhaps the sound effects were a little lacking. This doesn't matter though, as the focus was definitely on the graphical side of things.

The story was brief, but cool, and gave insight into more detailed adventures (possibly in the future?). I really like the style of world you set this short in, so extra points there.

Overall, excellent work yet again forsterbar. This is definitely a cry for a Video Portal if ever I saw one!

[Castle 3D-Video PortalPLS]

Video Portal Plz.

Great work there Chrispington.

Being a huge fan of all things medieval, this submission really appealed to me. The design of the castle was great, and it's good to see work of this quality appearing on Newgrounds.

The graphics themselves were good quality, bearing in mind the horror file size restrictions, and the audio track was a great choice (hmmmm, battle music). Even though the camera was just doing simple sweeps of the stronghold, it was still very interesting looking at all the detail you put it (I actually watched it through a few times, without noticing the loop, such was the glory).

This submission is further evidence that NG needs a Video Portal.

NOW!

Chrispington responds:

WOOOOOOO

Good reviews make me happy.

[For Sevenstar...]

Another Great Collab.

Some more great work from the SS. I really love the collabs you guys put out, and this one was no exception (even if the subject matter was a little sad). All the usual hallmarks were there, including the good old humour factor.

I found there were more contributers than usual in this submission, which was cool, and also added a huge variety of different styles to the Flash. I think I probably liked Threestars movie best, but it's always hard to pick favourites.

I have only one request for future SS productions, and that is this: Please put a "back to menu" button in there somewhere. I know you probably want everyone to watch them through without being able to do it, but it would just be a nice litle feature to have.

Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you all in the FP.

BTW, get well soon Sevenstar. The Portal needs you ; )

[HandyMen: Armed]

Well done, but too short.

That was a pretty cool little flash. I thought the animation was great, and the concept was good, it was just a little too short. I especially liked the design for your characters, and the NG tank turned out really well. In regards to artistic quality, this flash was impressive.

The idea itself was simple, but still came out nicely. I would say though, that overall the content was lacking. Keep up the good work misterjoe.

misterjoe responds:

It is a bit short, but I only really intended it to be a simple companion piece to my prospective HandyMen series.
Thanks for the review ThisText!
