Snubby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bluemen Battle 2!]

Great attempt!

I found this to be WAY better than I expected. When I first saw the little blue guys I thought it was going to be crap, but it actually turned out pretty good.

I love the way that you used a high frame rate, and that really contributed to the greatness of this movie. I didn't like how they came at him one at a time, or how he was the same colour as them ("he" is the main guy, the one that kicks ass), but that is easily fixable.

Great attempt! It was a hard thing to pull off, and you almost did it! Keep up the good work, and I really like this! Maybe you could email me when your next work comes out? I wanna see how much you have improved!

[Mad World Collab]

VERY GOOD!

For the guy below me, Scroler, you need flash player 8. Why do you think a flash could get a score in the 4's if it was just a brown bar, or something. No, flash 8, buddy.

Anyway, THIS IS AWESOME! It lagged A LOT though.

[3-ALi]

Kinda dark, so I'll keep it quick...

Dude, this desserves better than it got. You are a genious, AMAZING!! I vot 5 on this anyday.

This makes me realize that in animation, AnYthing can happen!

You made my day! :)

[A Midnight Snack]

Great job John and Ritchie!

I might have this wrong, but I think John does writing and Ritchie does animating, so here goes. If I am wrong, switch names...

John:

Style (9): I loved the way this is done. You have your own style, which remains fresh, and is so great that it is actually quite hard to replicate, which is why you have a small population trying to copy you!

Love everything about this movie, accept for the taskbar at the top of screen, apart from the graphics of it, it was kind of unneeded. I didn't ever use it, and It just kind of got in the way. I know you can remove it using, 'Dot Technology, ooo,' but it is just a nuisance. By the way, this is not why you lost a mark.

Sound (8): Well, great! Funny, as always, and I loved it. Although, I found I had to turn down the volume sometimes, because some sounds started to clip, were way too loud! You lost a mark for this.

Violence (8): Not going too deep into this, because I have a limitted amount of room. It was great, but I didn't like the explosions. You lost a mark for that.

Humour (9): Hahahhahahah! As always, just amazing! Great work, and actually the mark sits around 9.5, but you lost half a mark because after Kirby got out of the fridge, he didn't yell for long enough. Also, I found some of the jokes kind of lame, like when he is riding the toaster, some of that was kinda questionable. Great job though.

Ritchie:

Graphics (8): I know, it should be a nine, but I found some stuff was kind of weird. Like the toaster, because I think it had 3D on it, it looked akward sometimes. Also, some stuff was too dark, like at the start, and I found some stuff to be a bit questionable. Although, you are sitting near a nine on this.

Interactivity (7): As I said before, I don't really like the taskbar at the top. Other than that, it was quite good.

Violence (8): I didn't like the explosions. That was about it, and again, this should be a nine, really, but some was questionable.

Style (9): Great graphics style, hard to replicate, as I said before. Love the 3D, love the 2D, love almost everything. A couple of things look akward though.

-- Overall: 8

Great job overall, always love your work! I'd suggest some better 3D still frame objects though, for Richie.

[eBaums world dot com]

I don't understand... EXPLAIN!

Well, first I'd like to go over the accusation. How does Ebaum steal the pictures? Because he puts his watermark on them... I don't understand. Is that theft? How does he make money off of it?

I'm stuck on time, so yeah, the graphics were great, got the job done, song was AMAZING! Just want you to clarify that... I'm going to email you (if i can find ur email) and ask cuz u probably wont respond to dis...

AWESOME!!

Review by Stevie -

This movie really dissapointed me. The graphics style was amazing, just amazing, but what plummeted your score was the fact that it small slow-paced, boring, with little humour.

Graphics (9): Great, just great. It was amazing, but it seemed to be the only thing that was acually good.

Style (7): Probably should be a 6, but since the graphics were SO good I had to do it. I found the lack of colour, length and overall flow to be down-right adverage.

Sound (5): Ugh, this dissapointed me. If you had some good voice actors, not some humorless chums, this'd be better. The cell-phone music and quality was good, but it was SO BORING! Get some younger voice actors to lighten it up, or get a better writer.

Voilence (5): Very little, not like it really is that important. To be honest, violence is more of a Newgrounds-type rating, because lots of people enjoy it. I do, but it is not an important category. Anyway, it was okay.

Interactivity (n/a): This I didn't rate, because it was not a game, and it had very little interactivity.

Humor (1): This, and sound could improve, as well as maybe some interactivity (but that is optional). Pf, this was just crap. Humor is important, if you are TRYING TO MAKE A FUNNY MOVIE! It was the opposite of humor, and that killed your mark.

Overall, do not be dissapointed. I will never forget the graphics quality of this feature, because it was awesome! You lacked in other areas... no big deal.

Also, I would really appreciate a respond, please!

Sykohyko responds:

Hey thanks for the critique. I appreicatte that kind of review over the kind that just bash the work. I will definitly work on improving my weaknesses in the future. I feel like we've improved with every short and we plan to keep moving on like that.

[Dying In The Sun]

Quite enjoyable

It would be better if it showed how the female worm was feeling as well.

I didn't like the style of animation, but I'm glad that you used an outline (because people who don't usually aren't very good. It is just an easy way out) and the FBF was very good, but I found the backgrounds hlaf-assed (really, no offence) and the characters a bit too simple.

The music choice was a quality one, and it ran smooth! Also, the plot was okay.

THUMBS UP! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

Sunspot01 responds:

Really thought the backgrounds were bad? Even the flowers? I know the beginning looked a little rough...but once the beach scene hit I thought it looked good. Thanks for the honest review though! Oh yeah, if outline means storyboard, then yeah, I do that for all my cartoons. If it means outline characters...uhh..I do that for all of them too, I always thought it looks nicer, and means you put more effort into it.

[Killer Bush 3D]

How did this get 3.25?????

yo, he had to put this in a different window cuz u cant have over 5MB on NG, let alone 13MB. this stuff was awesome, better than the animation ive seen in movies, and on TV, and anywhere else u can think of. how can this get such a poor mark>????

that is insane. im givin it 5.

[FF: PWN Barrage]

It needs a lot of improvement.

The main problem was, pretty much everything. Some problem were:

1) No voices, just over-used sounds.
2) No storyline.
3) Too simple sprite animation.
4) Boring.
5) The sprites didn't fit in with the overall feel.

This animation needs a lot of major improvement, and you need to spend a lot more time on it.

Dude...it was really supposed to be a sig...

[Random Time Trial #1]

Badgers, anyone?

You know, by weebls-stuff, that song "Badgers, badgers, badgers, badgers, badgers, badgers, badgers". Yup, it's a rip off of that.

Second, VGDC doesn't suck, you guys do.

Third, they were too short.

Finaly, too many bugs. When played individually, they have unique songs (well, mnot the stone one), however, when you press, 'Play all Music Videos' its all 1 song.
