araphon1's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gayteway Commercial]

Decent start!

You put quite an effort into this, unlike most first time flashes. I mean, i remember my first submitted flash, it sucked worse than an electrolux. Anyway, you could have spent a bit more TIME in this production, rather than just make a good effort. I mean, you could easily have done a better looking computer... And some music and some more fitting backgrounds than generic white.

Anyway, this is a first attempt, and with some skill polishing, experience and encouraging words, you might produce something more interesting in the future, so I'll go ahead and vote a bit higher than I normaly would just to keep you above the 1.0 :)

//GLHF Man, the friendliest Super Hero ever.

LollicatProductions responds:

Thanks for the high vote. :) Yeah, I definitely didn't put full effort into this, it's mostly just a "get the hang of animation" sort of thing.

[A Great Big Tree]

David Firthesque movie at its best

It is obvious that you have been inspired greatly, both in music, story telling and animation, by David Firth. The music, as you say, is made by the master, which makes the movie all the more enjoyable, but as with all things, the original master is always better than the ones that come after him :) It was a great movie, but I can't help but get the feeling that it would have been a 5/10 pointer if it had been David Firth doing the storytelling and animation as well. Some day you might be shuffling with David Firth over the title "worlds most artistic flash artist," but you're not there yet ;P

Peace.

idiot-monarch responds:

Yeah, Firth is definitely a huge inspiration. Obviously, the movie would be better if he had made it (I think that applies to any movie, really :P ), but being compared to him (even if he comes out on top) means a lot.

Thanks :)

[imagine.. VIOLANCE!]

Preloader?

Dude, get a preloader in there, it's not that hard, instructions and finnished preloaders can be downloaded from this very site :)

do you ever read discriptions??/

[Yotam Perel Is A Jew]

Immature to say the least.

A pubertal kid singing mad world, wow, that's rich. Suggestions: Choose another song. This song will never be funny no matter how silly you make the voice. Waa-waaing through the song will only make you look cheap or like a ten years old that don't want to listen to the message because feelings scare him... If you want to make fun of something, do it in an intelligent manner. I mean, either you could have changed the theme of the song to something that makes fun of the song in itself, and sung it properly, then maybe you would have passed judgement.

There are simply things which you don't make fun off, unless you can take the heat afterwards. Especially if you fail to be funny at all.

Magyar responds:

I BET YOU VOTE 5 ON YOTAMS FLASHES

[Animal Crossing [NJ]]

Alright.

You have put some effort in it, but, it lacks color and proper animation. The music gets a bit repetetive after a while and I didn't get the Animal Crossing thing. I mean, there were animals there, but not much else to suggest that these guys ended up in a this particular game. Also, there are ways to make funny cartons without using swearwords. Bad language has a limited comedy value, unless it's used in a good way, like in southpark for instance. Anyhow for a first movie it's OK. Alright. But there is alot of room for improvement.

joesephcontreras responds:

You're right, there is some effort in this, and it does lack color, wait, white and black are colors, so yeah, it lacks rainbow colors in it, which is what you like, yeah. Nah bee, its ok, I might use colors later, just not for this one. Yes there were a few animals, but there are a few animal crossing references in the background. True, there are ways to make funny cartons, with cows on the them that are brown because of the fact its CHOCOLATE, milk. Hahahahaha. Oh, for cartoons, yes I agree with you 100 percent, I like british comedy, you don't need to tell me twice about, what you said. And of course, there is room for improvement, as everything does. I know you know you're shit, you've been on newgrounds since 03.

[Fågelskrämman]

Unbelievable

A swedish flash artist that gets on the front page? Dare I say that this is the first time in the history of newgrounds? You should be named a national hero ;)

I was like w00t, Fågelskrämman? Isn't that a Swedish word?

The movie itself was awsome, nice fluent animation, music that fit the theme and setting, awsome coloration, also you managed to get some trätofflor in there... Wow.

Daani responds:

I don't think it was the first time in history this happened:) In fact I know it wasn't the first time!

Thanks anyway dude!

[Why (American)Anime Sucks]

Haha, a nice parody.

But naming the movie "Why Anime Sucks" is gonna get you alot of heat from fanboys/girls. Anyway, you should get out more. You are judging anime from child anime such as pokemon, yu-gay-o and digimon. Children might not expect more from entertainment than spiky hair and some card battles, but there are other kinds of anime :P

Anyhow, for being a child anime parody, its sweet :) But that clock voice... It scares the hell out of me, everytime I hear it I look over my shoulder just to be sure my alarm clock isnt moving.

FazzleMan responds:

Yeah, the clock voice is annoying, but my voice sounds like a kid (cuz i am 1) and whenever people hear a kids voice in a movie, they automatically start hating on them.

["Squirrel"]

Too slow.

Really, the timing was horrid. The animation, or atleast the graphics, were good. But the music got really repetative, and for a while I thought the squirrel wouldn't do anything else than scratch his nose and wag his tail. By the time something funny happened, I was already so bored that the joke went right over my head.

Work on it.

Beyond-Insanity-666 responds:

Yeah, I done the music in a few minutes, tried to make it childlike but it was just annoying.
And I admuit it was slower than originally planned, but as i said in the description, I can't be arsed to work on it anymore.

[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!

[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
