aurongroove's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[S13 - I Want It! Syndrome]

WOW!!

Really good.
The entire thing was well crafted, the drawing was excellent, there was jokes in the right places, the music was great, the animation style was nice and sharp, and the over arching story had wisdom in it too!
this is probibly the best flash I've seen in newgrounds this year so far

I'd say the only thing that wasnt perfection itself, was the voice acting, it sometimes failed to properly augment what was happening on screen, for example when charachters were extremely angry, and some of the sound effects were odd.
but that wasnt really serious enough to lose you points.

I really promised not to give 10's out for anything that wasnt complete perfection, but if I could, I would give this like 9.6/10 or something.

but I can't and I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I gave it 9, so here's my first 10 in ages!!!!!! hurray!

Nightwayfarer responds:

thanks for the 10)
yeah, i sucked with angry voices, but noticed it only when the whole thing was already finished.... i guess i ain't perfect... still thx)

[Mario and the fire flower]

Not bad

I found it very slow moving, and the whole movie had very little worthwhile features to justify another mario flash. some of the added graphics wern't in keeping with the 8 bit style which leads me to believe it was more "easiest option" art work, rather then for a macromanaged overall visual style.

despite all this, It still wasn't bad, there was a storyline, no glitches, full sound (the screams were funny) and in general was fine. so a reasonable 5.

[Happy Birthday Ismail]

not bad for an hour, I suppose

well keep up the good work, I dont really know anything about flash, but this seems good for a 10 year old and in one hour.

as a singer, who's well used to using microphones, I can offer you one piece of advice: you can avoid those distorted clips (or "pops"), by either using a pop shield , or by not breathing directly onto the mic (ie point the mic diagonally at your cheek)

Yusuf responds:

thanks

[Tasty Musicians.]

Not great.

the white line on black could have worked well but it was a little too wobbly.
the music was only alright too, and the whole thing was quiet short.

a half way 5.

Mechabloby responds:

wibble wobble jelly on the plate

[WTF_Action]

Nice one.

Though it was very funny.

the story makes no sense, and it's stupid to think it would take a person that long to fall to earth, but that, I suppose added to the craziness.

Well done.

[Ice Cream]

I've seen worse but...

This really isin't any good is it?

it dosn't make any sense and it's over before it's begun.

[Pigboss's quest 2]

Fun flash, with some dodgy grammer.

Not too bad, it's nice and colorful , so it's gets away with being a little basic.
It's a pity some of the English is a bit dodgy; there are a few mixed up sentences, incorrect tenses and misspellings. Maybe ask a friend to go over text before you commit it to flash, and always make sure to spell check, I should know; I'm a very clumsy speller myself!

A hearty 6 I suppose,
+1 for the nice sense of "innocent fun" I get from it
-1 for the dodgy text. so... 6
oh, and I'm a fast reader, but the section at the beginning moves very quickly! some might find it hard to read. Good work in general though.

PIgboss responds:

haha, i expected there will be a comment like that.
ya, I need to work on my grammer.

[Hillside Settlement]

Excellent

I though this was excellent. a bit simple on the story side of things, but it shows your abilities off wonderfully.
it was a nice refreshing movie.
help yourself to a "2 degrees away fron god like perfection and unspeakable beauty" 8.

[Ninja Vs Samurai]

Not bad.

Not bad, the animation was in some part passable, and in other parts very good

the only problems I found were tiny little "comic book guy" type noticable differences with reality and dramatized fighting, they were many but trivial and it hardly matters when your talking about animations

a decent 7.

[Shoo Fly]

excellent

A wonderful little piece, top marks.
