reverend's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

Wonderful!

I really enjoyed this movie and it is a really an amazing work. The imagery and mix of 3-D graphics was really refreshing and overall the artwork is very beautiful. I love the sounds of the robot for each action that he does and it really adds a nice touch to the movie. The story is a sad tale, but it was pretty captivating. It's really sad to see such an altruistic robot destroyed, but I guess his spirit lives on in those flowers he left behind.

All in all, an outstanding movie, and I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Happy B-day Bahamut!

Awesome card, TPM. I loved the dance number and if I had known that you were going to put "From:" at the top I wouldn't have signed at the bottom; ah well, details. :) I'm loving the musical choice; very up beat and I could probably listen to it for hours. I'm sure our blue dragon friend loved it and thanks for being kind and doing this for him and behalf of all of us Wi/Hters. :)

Nice work!

I really found this flash pretty intriguing . It does seem rushed and isn't the most fantastily colored or animated, but does hit a point. The haunting ambient music was well chosen and fits the overall theme of the movie well. Sure it wasn't the most detailed in artistry, but in a way the simplicity works to get the point across. The words 'What makes you an exception?' really hits a point for the message of this flash, as it seems that these little robots all fall in the same terrible and tragic cycle.

All in all, I really enjoyed this movie and hopefully you can touch it up and finalize it for everyone to enjoy. Good work!

RionHunter responds:

I was originally going to make this one of those endless looping animations, but when I found that song that used those words, it just had that sense of finality to it, and it went soooo well with the theme of the animation that I couldn't NOT use it.

I probably will touch it up here and there. The reason it isn't fantastically coloured was because I was originally trying to make it more noir, but that fell through in my haste.

[My Problem with Shmups]

Pretty good...

I really enjoyed this movie and it does make a pretty humorous and valid point about how one little ship can take on a massive ship that seems implausible to defeat. The animation is pretty good could use some shading and even more detail, but overall it was fine. The voices was well crafted and thier dialog was well thought out, though some more inflection in the tone of thier voices couldn't hurt.

All in all a pretty entertaining take on what seems to be common among shoot'em ups. Keep up the good work!

Masterwabbit responds:

Yeah, I need to work on getting my voice to leave it's comfy bass range and lack of variability. Hopefully it something I get better at with practice rather than, say, comically getting smacked by a football in the crown jewels for higher ranges.

[Nicolas Cage Wants Cake]

Catchy

There isn't much to say about this movie other than it was pretty catchy. To take a random couple of lines from an obscure (for him) Nicolas Cage movie and make a memorable tune, sync and animate it, is pretty amazing. Overall it's randomness at its finest. Good work!

[The RRC Awards]

Well Done

I really love how you put this together to try and show the best of the underrated works on NG and who better to do that than the RRC. Some of the bits were pretty funny while others were ...well yeah. Also, I can say that the music gets pretty old fast so maybe mix it up or have one that is more ambient. All in all, well done and congrats to the winners. You should use your front-page posting abilities to PR this movie a little bit.

I hope the winners enjoy their hundred dollar bronze trophies that I know you got them. :)

Fro responds:

I have to wait a couple more days before I can make another front page post. :P

[jumping turtles]

Awesome

I really enjoyed this animation. It's very unique in style in the way you animated it and I know it must have been pretty tedious to animate this way. The plot is simple and yet enjoyable and the music was very relaxing and pleasant. I think it would help just a smidge to make some of the lines a little darker, but otherwise it's perfect.

I would love to see a sequel in this fashion. Maybe jumping velociraptors, perhaps? :)

turtleco responds:

yeah, I'll get special dark pencils next time. As far as jumping velociraptors, no no jumping velociraptors, maybe a cameo appearance by sevenseize though...

[Snow Wars]

Entertaining!

Very funny and enjoyable overall. To say this is an Oscar masterpiece would be a tall order, but it's still a well put and edited movie for everyone to enjoy. The plot is a simple and straightforward, the score was excellent, and the editing was well done. The post-production was very creative for the small budget you must have had.

Again with with my review of the teaser/trailer my concerns about the snow whiting out several scenes were pretty true; if it hadn't been for the subtitles I wouldn't have know who was talking to who. In addition, I found the opening credits to be more annoying than anything. All things considered this is a pretty entertaining piece you have created, and all of you should be proud.

Fro responds:

Thanks, I'll take in the considerations about the opening credits. Perhaps a skip feature next time?

Very helpful thanks.

[TmsT's "Spy & Pyro"]

Amazing

This is just an amazing piece of work you've created. From start to finish this movie is humorous and witty. I really enjoyed how you use outright and subtle humor in this work and it really makes the overall movie pretty amazingly funny. I really love your style of animation and I'm glad you used it in this animation to bring the TF2 characters to life.

Overall, it's an excellent piece of work and I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the great work!

[The Pigpen]

Amazing!

I really love it and it is a very amazing work. The animation is impressive and fascinating. The abstractness of the movie at times really makes it compelling; not to mention that the music and sounds were all very fitting. By far the best part of the movie is the story. The whole concept of these 'animals' performing some insidious acts like murder in the first case, or the mother sacrificing her child, to meet their 'need' and once they get it they become dependent on it, is pretty striking. I'm not quite sure yet what to make of the man who consumes the pigs but I'm sure there is a motive behind him, perhaps one of consumption, greed.

Overall a pretty amazing movie you've created. Keep up the good work!
