araphon1's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A little bit of madness]

Average to good.

Nothing new under the sun, as always :) It would ahve been better if you had added some sounds, and some music. As it is now, ppl can only vote for story and animation. Story was non existent, but the animation and violence was kinda nice. Keep it up, but add sound and music...

[Naruto - At the Cliff]

Acctually really nice :P

You sure got away with not using a preloader. 900kb and still you managed to produce some high quality flash. However, I feel sad for the dail up users out there. In anycase, the animation was awsome, the music fit the theme, and I lol'd when Naruto gave Sasuke the finger lol XD

Tadash, the sexual themes, even though mild, will upset the homophobian public here. Just pray to God that there are lots of women here to vote for you today... Or tolerant men like me who can accept the flash for what it is :P And I dont want to be a pain in the ass, but this isn't suitable for just "Anyone". As a matter of fact it should be 13+ or some such for mild sexual themes (the hinting) and mild violence... But still, great work!

stinkoid responds:

I think you're right. I guess I forget sometimes that not everyone has an iron stomach for a brain like I do. I'll change it asap. Thanks for the review!

[Random! Ta daa]

Not random enough.

There are two kind of random movies, one kind that stick to a theme and just put in as much random stuff in it that is related to that theme. The other kind are movies that has random as their theme. You kind of mix both, which isn't really that great, because I had a hard time following what the h*** was happening :/ Sure, there were alot of starwars jokes in there, but they were a bit TOO random. Also, you need to speak up... I had to put my volume at max to hear a single word you were saying, and even then it was just loud whispering.

Anyhow, better luck next time.

[Why Leave? Short Cartoon]

This deserves front page!

I mean, it's been a while since I saw anything that made me laugh out loud at newgrounds. The animation was a bit stale, but that doesn't matter because in the way it was executed it was superb. The voices where also very good, a rare thing in an age where Clock voices/Text to Speech is all too common in the flashes posted here -.-

Anyhow, great work, im looking forward to seeing more of this :P

[Flash Life]

Hehe, I liked this for some odd reason.

I mean, the animations sucked... And it was difficult at parts to hear what the Flash gangsta said.... But the comedy... Hillarious :P Due to the sub par animation Im gonna have to vote a bit lower than I would have liked. But it's at or above 3 :P

Peace.

[Boogley Bus Stop]

OK, that preloader freaks me out. Seriously.

Superb animation, average sound, repetetive music... And the scariest preloader around.

Alright, the animation was really good, but I didn't get how this is funny, or cute, or anything. But I am here to give you constructive critisism *tada*

The pros are the animation. And that's about it. I have seen most of your stuff, and it's pretty good, this movie however, lacks the "fun" in "humor". It's just... Meh? So? What happens then? It's like a joke that never gets to the punchline. The music... Well, that could have been better. And I dont mean you should ahve put Metallica or something in there, I mean that for the setting and topic, it was kind of... Off. It fit in a way, but it could have been alot better.

Also, that preloader.. *Shudder* Now I'm gonna remember that for the rest of my life. Thanks alot X) I mean, it's good... But I cant figure out if his nose is supposed to look like a trunk or a penis, im sorry, haha.

TheBoogley responds:

It's a penis-trunk, they're all the rage in Japan! :D

[The Greatest Idea Ever!]

Really funny.

But have some data errors. For instance, even if the worst scenario were to happen, and they create a black hole (which is a silly thought, but nvm that) the total ammount of energy accumulated will be that opf a small swarm of flies. Also, there are two scientists that have claimed that this is the end of the world, and pretty much everyone else sais that the chance of anything bad happening is so slim it's non existent. It's as likely as an UFO comandeered by Elvis were to crash into the Loch Ness monster on a friday noon. And, if it were to happen.. Well, I think we can handle the energy created by a small swarm of flies.

BUT!!! About the flash: Animation was awsome, the humor made me fall of my chair, and the sound was first class. Awsome acting, the voices really fit the characters. Also, the whole idea of destroying the world for the "lol" of it... Hahaha, man :P That's a nice attitude ^^

[Dark Knight Interrogation]

Honest opinion:

I feel obliged to write a review about this, seeing as you simply wont listen to criticism. Alot of people here has written and stated that the comedy lacked timing, and I agree fullheartedly. There were jokes that didn't fit, sometimes they were too fast, sometimes too slow. It's really hard to explain why this is so, but for instance, the cofee cup thing, could have been slower, building up more power for the joke. Maybe some more talk about coffee or something, however I am no comedian, so I can't really write your jokes for you ^^

No seriously, The timing wasn't perfect, and you really, really, need to work on that. However, you show great potential with you animation. You had a good idea, and your comic style fits the setting, no doubt. Also, the voices were kind of good, better than the voice acting you see in some professional movies and games these days.

Now go ahead and flame me all you want, and by all means, mark my review as "useless." But please keep in mind that the reason I am spending my time writing this long ass review is because I see that you have potential to become great. Atleast think it over.

Peace.

[A Tournament for a Bride]

Suuuuhwwwweeeeeet!

That was the most spectacular flash I have ever seen :) Or well, almost ^^ Still, it's at the top, next to the Xombiefied series, Legendary frog and There she is!

It has combat, nice animations, good natured humor with alot of heart and also a little bird kicking a minotaur's ass ; )

The bride was really hot too ^.^ Stupid frog!

Altogether cute, a splendid peace of animation that clearly deserves front page. Keep up the good work.
