idle's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

[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!

[Backyard Fireworks!]

Nice little idea.

That was quite a nice flash, simple and short, but still well done. I liked the style, and while there was only minimal movement within the film, and it had a nice story book feel and worked well I think. I really like that frame by frame animating technique.

Interesting little click to advance story, clearly just a gimmick for the celebration message, though it still kept my attention enough. Maybe next time, you could make the story more involving, and linger.

The audio was fairly plain, and the sound effects used kind of reminded me an operating system sounds. Nothing too interesting, although I guess it worked ok with your idea. The applause got a little annoying though.

There is some nice animation in this flash, as well as some moderate actionscripting. I'm sure you will be submitting some great work in the furture, so keep it up Dave.

FlashBulb responds:

Thanks for your review -idle-. I appreciate your truthfulness and encouraging words. I will try to apply your suggestions to future projects.

[Motorcycle Stunt]

Pretty slick, for what it was.

I guess this was a stick movie at heart, but still not bad in any case. The animation, although simple, was pretty good, and I epecially liked your FBF effects. The style was typical, and the subject matter itself did tend to get repetitive towards the end.

Still, it was nicely presented, and the audio was also above average. Not bad, but not great either, there is definitely lots of potential for improvement. Keep up the good work.

BetaHoogar responds:

Thanks. It's good to see that doing the audio the hard way payed off.

[Cheat Codes for CI2]

Worst NG Flash contender.

Well, that was terrible.

I was expecting something... ANYTHING.
Even just a small bit of interactivity would have been good. Yeah, I know you said it was a joke, but jokes are meant to be funny, and this was clearly not.

Your single screen of content didn't even look nice. It's too bad old submissions like this can't be blammed.

BrooklynBrett responds:

Thanks. I worked really hard, especially on that first screen. The process especially around that part was pretty difficult, especially the part where I converted the file type. I've worked hard, and I really appreciate your words. Thank you!

[The Real Mortal Kombat 1]

Definitely above average.

Wow, that was actually really unexpected DiceP (I was assuming this Flash would be sprite based), but not in a bad way.

The animation was pretty decent, and the lip sync was rather good. You drew the MK characters pretty well, but the movement was a bit wooden; I think it could have been more dynamic. Still, I think the animation kept in theme with the subject matter, so that is always a plus.

The music was good, and I really like that theme track from the movie, it gave me some happy flashbacks. The sound effects were ok, but I think mention needs to be made of the voice acting, because it was quite good indeed.

Overall, not a bad submission at all. I did appreciate the humor, even though it seemed a little strained at times. Either way, a nice Flash.

Keep up the good work.

DiceP responds:

Lol thank you very much for the great review.I agree the characters need to be a little more dexterious.I thought using the them tracks form hte movie would add a nice touch.Whats really sad is I got stuck doing all the voices this time around,but in mk 2 I was able to get some help.Thanks for wathcing and thanks for the great comment.

[Fun in the Woods]

New Zealand accents!

Although it was fairly short, that was still a nice submission. The animation was simple, but well done (especially the characters), and I loved the artistic style and design behind this movie. Nice colour selection and clean, crisp drawing were nice finishing touches.

The writing was pretty funny, and I found the jokes to be quite well executed. Good to see some originality in this department.

I really liked the sound and voice acting; I think it worked perfectly for what you were trying to do (it was also nice to hear some non-american accents for a change). I always like to hear good voice acting, as I feel this often lets Flash down (sound is so damn important).

Overall, a great little Flash. Keep up the good work Tmst and Shadow_XII. I'll look forward to seeing more submissions from you in the future.

TmsT responds:

Cheer mate. Check out "Agents Agents Agents", under Shadow_XII's name.
