Andersson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Retarded Animal Babies 13]

Great timing!

The timing of this release were great when the third episode of "Star Wars" will be released the 15th (Or something). The only bad timing this movie had was that I had a class when it entered the portal (The reason to why the review comes so late).

Anyway, the movie is great. It's very funny as usual and the art work is good.

The explosion in the ned doesn't look very good though, you could have done it frame by frame.

The opening title is good. I'm use to that the opening title gets smaller in the same pace, even though it's more far off in the middle. Which makes it look wierd, but you managed to get through that.

The voiceactors (Or maybe it's just one voiceactor who's recordings you've putted on eachother) singing to the opening title is annoying when you just listen to it. If you read the opening title (Which is darn funny), you won't notice the annoyment much, and it will be pretty decent. (*Smile*)

Well, overall, this is really good, but not my favorite episode.

Dave responds:

I could have done the whole movie frame by frame dude, but I figure folks might want something to look at more than once every two and a half years. So, I cut corners. It's a Flash film not Fantasia.

I do have a horrible singing voice, don't I? Even pitch shifted. I don't have a big-ass multitrack studio or I'd have had all five animals singing together in key (not easy when voices are being pitch changed across the octave!). If I ever put this episode on a DVD for sale it's all gotta be redone anyway for fear of Lucas crawlin' up my keester.

[En ring att styra alla]

It could have been alot better.

It was quite unexpected that the title and everything was in Swedish. But honestly, the sound quality is very poor.
First off, you should buy a better mic because the quality of the graphic diserves it. I don't know, it's also possible that the mic is good but you got atmosphere sound in the background so you can hear when you pull the mic on and off because of it.
The girl who speaks got the wrong mood in her story telling. She sounds like someone who brags about something. Not like someone who tells a story, I would consider to change that voiceactór to a better one.
The sound quality realy bugs me. The effect sounds and background sounds is sometimes high-pitched and the volume is not the same and it is not smoth through the whole movie.

You really should make a update to this movie and make the whole movie smoth without those annoyings.

But I want to tell people who is from Norden (Or speaks Swedish) that this is a good work all together and should be considered a look through.

Anyway, thanks for submitting on Newgrounds.

[Space Oddity]

Abolutely fantastic!

This is the type of flash movies I'm mainly looking for. (*smile*)

It's stylish, lovely and alot of people knows this song. Very good, and worth adding to your favorites!

The spaceship looks very good in the first scene there it is beeing launched. It looks like a projectile. Very nicely done. But then when it's in the space, it looks abit disordered. Because it's just like a tincan. And then agaia, the lyrics says: "[...]I'm sitting in my tincan[...]" which is what the spaceship looks like. Still I don't think David Bowie (If he now was the one who wrote the lyrics) ment it as looking like a tincan. I believe he ment it as a tincan, because it's made of metal. Not mattering of the shape. Anyway, I like it.

The person singing looks quite wierd. His nose is very big, and he looks like someone from a horror movie. Still I don't care, because it's a own style of character, it looks like nothing else. You've putted your mark on that character, the same goes with the photographers and so on. Their eyes are sitting in the side of the mouth. I like it that way, they don't get so much charistic faces, they are not important for the movie. Acctually I think they look like something inspired by Adam Phillips and "Alien Hominid". The eyes in certain from Adam Phillips.

The lip-syncing is good. It must have took you a long time to make it fit. But it looks too stiff. And if you sing to the lyrics by yourself, you can easily recon that the singers mouth is shut, to early.

The graphic, they're great! Like the scene there the spaceship moves into the orbit of earth. The stars fading in. Just lovely.

You got a great movie there. I'll tips some people about it.

FargalEX responds:

Wow, you must've spent some time writing that review. Thanks for your comments!

[The Child That Smelt Odd]

Hahaha! Extremely funny!

This was the best movie you've done yet.

I love the music. The little melody which bumps on when they go into a new scene. The familiar environment (School) was a good choice. It's just that more things seems to be able to happend in a school.

I like the places when the sound just stop alltogether. Like in the scene there they say: "Well should we just ban TV all together?" ---Long silente pause--- "Yep". (I think "Yup" sounds funnier but whatever).
And I love it. (*Smile*)

The graphic are good too. That the characters' faces are sharper than their bodies. Every character are very well drawed. Even though I think you should have given the humming schoolkids arms.

And that the guy shook the hair from his eyes; All those natural movements you've captured. I's lovely!

The outro were also good, it was strict, and looks very professional with the simple lines which includes everything it needed.

Fine preloader, subtitles. I love the scene there the TV-reporter make a report about that TV has been banned. It's just so funny. (*Smile*)

"Did we ban any weapon?" "Shut up and imagine!"

Well I just think it's so darn funny.
The different character sound, the background sounds and the effect sounds. Awesome.

[Plans to Fuck Alexis 9]

I didn't like it.

I will just list all the categories and why you got the certain score.

Graphics: Not very impressive. The characters don't look any special. It's not something, some look they have which you put on your mind. They look way too familiar to all these movies which gets blammed.

Style: Not high. This was supposed to help people get a girl. It didn't help at all and it was just silly. The guy who speaked sounded very depressed and the tema of this movie were happy, not sad. He sounded boored and it just doesn't fit.
There were to many stupid things as, "Rob a bank". And that Snorlax being throwed at some strange creatures. I just find it odd.

Sound: The voiceactor did an extremely bad job. Microsoft Sam would have done a better one. Atleast he sounds happy. This voiceactor sounded extremely dull. The song at the end were quite bad too. I never stuck for it. There are so many good songs to choose. Music which would deserve the score this movie had without animation.

Violence: The Snorlax crushing the wierd character was all the violence this had. Yeah, the foot in the beginning was good. It was so wierd so I thought it was funny. Othervise, the scene there the Snorlax crushed the creature was as good as the graphic were, just look at the top about graphics.
But this movie weren't about violence so I wouldn't expect a high vviolence scoring either.

Interactivity: It was alright. There were no preloader so all the scoring you got was for the buttons. Don't expect 1 point as bad, the more buttons and the better they work, the more points you'll get.
I like the idea that people can send you notes about what you should make better. But we got the reviewing system, so it was quite unnessecary.

Humor: The only funny thing was the foot crushing him in the beginning. But the voice actors annoyingly dull voice took away everything which made it fun. So you'll get a low score there.

Overall: I simply doesn't like it. If I would decide, this would get blammed. That is the reason to why you got a low overall scoring.

Anyway, I'm still glad you submit on Newgrounds and I hope you'll continue to. Thank you.

Ryan-Smith responds:

I dont like you.

[SMP How To Stay Skinny]

I think it's plain stupid.

I just think hurting yourself badly without any reason is stupid.

There were no preloader. And that is wierd because you do really need to put in one there.

I hate saying this, but this was bad. What does anyone learn by suffering like this? From braking a leg or jumping on a partner so he gets hurted?

The only reason to get hurted should be while you're doing some training so you need to suffer to get harder.

Well. I like the song, but the whole concept of the movie was bad. And, I don't even know if that guy acctually broke something.

Thank you anyway for submitting on Newgrounds.

/Mathias Andersson

[One Pie to Rule Them All]

Hahaha! Great!

Finally you submitted something again! (*Smile*)

I like it even though I thought the story would be different because of the title. The graphics were great. Typical your style of drawing.

The sounds were many and in good quality. But the first song was cutted too quickly without a fade or anything.

I looked at what the heck that thing on the portal could be named "One Pie to Rule Them All", when I gladly saw that it was my Irish friends movie! (*Happy*)

Anyway, it was worth it's exellent scoring!

/Mathias Andersson

[Brandon's New Job]

I love it!

This was awesome!

I like the background sounds there you hear the city traffic and the sound from the paper and his footsteps. It's very well made!
But I think you could have putted in one sound more like a scream from Brandon when the power were cutted for the whole New York City!

The compression and the file size is great. The interactivity good too; It's too ordinary that flash artists let the replay button take you to the preloader to let you press "play" when you're there. But this replay button did acctually work as they're supposed to; You were taken to the first frame of the acctual movie! Good.

I loved the story, a celebration movie to your friends new job! Haha I wonder what he'll say! (*Smile*)
I don't care if the movie only were a half minute long; it were extremely well done the secounds it lasted.

The violence goes directly with the story, a guy which follows a basic wiring program like that! Aaah, it's just lovely! (*Smile*)

The graphics were also all fine, the scene with Brandon himself were better drawed than the guy at the scetch which it's supposed to be like.

Well, I don't got so much to complain about, maybe the sound there. I think some background sounds and a scream are missing.

However, thank you VERY much for submitting on Newgrounds!

/Mathias Andersson

Neil-Swenson responds:

Wow, thanks man. Everyone here's complaining to me about how short it is (apparently no one's read the description, cause I alreday know it's short!). Anyway, it's nice to see someone who's not taking this so seriously and just enjoys the movie.
Thanks.

[Madness Depredation]

Awesome!

Matt you owns!
I don't know if sending you a review is neccessary though I've spoken to you like most of the time before the submission and after it. But you seen too drunk after the subbmission to even remember to log out so I'll better send you this! (*Smile*)

This was freaking awesome! (*Happy Smile*)
The movie owned. The fourth movie got the improved graphic, but this got the improved graphic but also, you let the audience view the fights from whole new perspectives! I like when you make it look like as if he were shooting right at you but he's shooting at someone behind the camera view.

The sound was very good but I didn't like the ending though he died (Again).
I hope you'll use the idea that he has got a son, which will come back and mess in his place.

The title is great! Depredation means a predatory attack, a raid or a destructive action (For those who don't know). And that fits perfect though the whole movie is just about that, he gets in, slay people around him, and gets out (Well he don't come very far after he gets out, but anyway).

I am not quite comfortable with all the texts like "OMG CLOWN" and so on which appears once in a while. I think less text in next movie would be good and more "Body counts". I thought it was alright in the fourth movie but it was way too much in thisone.

I like the scene there he shoots with the pistol and the forend goes back (I'm not sure what it's called in English. It's like the forend of a shotgun but at the top of the handgun. It could also be called cloak) and he throws the handgun so the handgun penetrate the stomatch and while it's inside the body the cloak falls back again and the handgun goes in even further. (I know it's an attack with rifles, that you hit the muzzlebrake in the forehead of the enemy but never heard of something like THROWING it into someone, and especially not a handgun, and into a stomatch. Quite unreal but awesome to watch! (*Smile*)

Anyway, I'll hope you'll continue the serie and if you won't I'll make you! (*Just Kidding*)

Nice to see that you're having the Newgrounds preloader logo too.

Anyway, keep up the godly work!

/Mathias Andersson

Krinkels responds:

Dude, good eye catching the pistol slide there, I didn't think mayn would catch that. Expect more goofy assed stuff like that in the next one, which won't be out for some time, sadly.

Thanks for the ultra-big review! Gives me something to read at work.

[RUN TO THE HILLS!]

Well.

Ok, the original song is VERY good but the person who sang this has something wrong with, his (?), voice. But I hope the voice actor just acted.

Well, I was ready to vote 5 on it because I love "Iron Madien", but with a sound quality that bad, there is nothing as 5.

This movie does also break the rules when it says: "Vote 5" in the end. I believe I read somewhere in the rules that you are not allowed to affect the ending score with such sentances. It would be wierd if "Lord of the Rings" ended with: "Buy many movies".

Acctually there is one example there Ali G acctually says something like that in the ending title in the movie "Ali G Indahouse".

However, I liked the Frame-by-Frame scene there the OrangeClock burns a tent. But I didn't like the "Teh End!" scream at the end.

Anyway, thank you for submitting on Newgrounds!
