aquaticmole's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Appleville Ep 1]

good start

I would really like to see more episodes from this creative duo and for a start it's not bad but it does have some very noticeable mishaps.

To start off the animation and graphics were top notch, they were both smooth and well put, you obviously took a lot of time perfecting it and it really shows. The humor is the same but not as well done. You have based this entire flash of random humor which is fine because you do so well, it's just that the overall pacing of the story doesn't really help pat the humor on the back like you would want it to.

The overall storyline isn't the problem here, it's the pacing. The story is paced very slowly which when in function to the random humor doesn't really seem to fit. Random humor is usually a very quick little pinch, the pace of the flash doesn't really lend itself to that very well and makes most of the jokes seem very monotonous and dull.

With great visuals but a slow paced story which in turn dulls down the humor.

7/10

I would love to see more of this.

FrozenSheep responds:

When I got to see the movie as a whole, the pace bothered me a lot. In the end there was not much I could do about it without major changes.

Nice thing to know for the next one.

Hello Morrowdays

This was an odd flash, very mysterious and didn't really let the watcher really sink into the feeling.

First off your graphics looked very, loopy and kinda psychedelic like it was right out of the 60's which I like. nd the animation was very smooth, the music very soft and creepy.

That doesn't mean this was perfect as of it was very short and the ending didn't really feel very exact and which all together made it look really jumbled and confusing which does of course give it an even richer creepy feel but at the same rime the end comes very abrupt maybe even to abrupt because at the end I didn't really feel like I got much out of it as I would have liked to.

I hope you get better and get you out of your Tom Fulp Syndrome.

5/10

Hello Aquaticmole

I wasnt even alive during the sixties, but that loopy look was definitely what I was going for :)

You may not have completely enjoyed how abruptly it ended, but that was the sensation I wanted to give the viewer whether they wanted it or not, so either way I still win :)

maybe I'll take some pills for the sickness or something, thanks.

[Slugs 3]

Could be better.

It was an alright flash which could be much better, graphics and animation could both be more smooth.

Graphics and animation - Both were alright but could better for animation it seems like it was going to slow and for a flash that is based all around fast paced killing it felt like it was being slowed down because of the animation. Another thing that felt a little was that the enemys just sorta stayed out and didn't even try to attack the main character which overall made the flash seem very boring. Graphics. The graphics were alright but could be much improved. The backgrounds were just plain boring with little to no variation. And most of the character models just looked sloppy.

Improve on graphics and animation and this could very well be a beautiful gory flash.

Gorefest5 responds:

thanks, i'll get on that in the next one, hopefully

[YoinK's Newgrounds]

It was allright fun to watch.

The graphics are top notch but the way they enter and leave doesn't seem very creative :(

Graphics & animation - Very nice graphics show off your artistic greatness but I felt that the animation could have been better. By better I mean the way some of the objects came into the video it didn't really seem very creative some of them just show up and leave with very little creative interactivity with you.

Now I know it's tough to really nail the interactivity with something that's not really there but it seems like you didn't really try very to do it with some objects which looked a little lazy because you did it well with some but the others in which you didn't interact with really showed.

For great grapics nice interactivity with some images yet some without creative or any interactivity an 8/10

YoinK responds:

I used a ton of masking if you didn't notice.... :P

[Break The Walls Down!]

Funny cool and original.

Very amusing to watch I liked how they had a whole bunch of gadgets for how to break the wall.

The animation was very smooth and nice FBF work put in. On the downside some of the backgrounds were were lacking in detail which is something that would have made this a whole much better.

While the animation was smooth and even though the grounds weren't as textured, what really kept this alive is the humor. One thing that needed to be put in would be use of Sound fx, since there was nothing but music it seemed a little dry especially when there was an explosion.

Also at the end the credit music overlaps it self into the animation if you wanted to replay it. :(

So work on textures and details for your second project. Also 50 frames collab should be due out soon in case you were wondering :3

7/10

Superawesomeness responds:

Awesome, glad you liked it! Hope to see it out soon.

[Lemon Demon's "Bad Idea"]

Well done!

Well done TMST. You have succesfully created yet another fluid epic animation. Just in time for the holidays :3

Now personaly I love the music as of I am a great Lemon Demon fan myself and i found the animation to be synced up quite nicely actually with great graphics to go around. HOWEVER. This could have been just me but I felt like the music quality was little low. Also the whole 3D scenes were really cool and all but after awhile it just sortof got really obnoxious, especially since it was with like the first 20 seconds of it, it just seemed like another 3D cut after another ):

All in all it is was a really great flash, well done :D

TmsT responds:

There were only two "3D" scenes and three "first-person" ones, but they weren't all one after another. I separated them so as to be less confusing. The music is at the same quality you'd hear on the MP3.
Thanks for the other comments though!

[Fistful of Madness]

Haha I love the western feel.

Seriously, the western touch worked surprisingly well with madness. I love the shoot out at the begining because it was filled with perfect tension that led up an awesome shoot followed by maddening violence as he entered into the bar.

Ah yes the bar scene my favorite of the movie. The thing I loved about it was that it wasn't only hank fighting everyone, it was every fighting each other and then on top of that hank was fighting everyone as well.

However with all good comes bad. The only thing I think really needs some improvement on was the feet. At the begining of your flash they all have there feet and it looks awesome but then as the action starts they lose it which to me made i feel awkward but it also made me focus more on there torso and less on there action.

All in all this was great movie with a brilliant western touch which looked delicious. Topped off by smooth animation, brilliant action and a nice ending, a little too generic but hey it works well. Oh yeah, and crazy fast paced music that adds a lot to the action surrounding it.

8/10
