Galneda's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A cap opener man comes.]

That was awesome!

Superb artwork and animation, great music to go along with it! What's more, the premise of the flash was badass; I loved the ending! Great job, Voted 5!

Thank you for giving an appraisement of a high score

[Freezepop's JEM!]

....Just.....wow.

<flash synopsis>

Effeminate 13 year old boy recording himself in his room lip-syncing a girly, poppy, technoesque song, posing in effeminate positions on his bed, up close, and from afar.

-No preloader to an uncontrollable loop.
-No animation involved; Just a webcam recording of an effeminate 13-year-old boy dancing.
-No other real entertainment value given, except for the all-too-likely possibility of the teenage shame you will carry on your shoulders for years later in the future upon hindsight of your own first flash submission, now immortalized on the internet.

("What was I THINKING...ugh....")

This...this was just...can't even find the words to describe it...the image has been burnt into my retinas, and I don't like it. This was placed on the front page so people can laugh at you, not because it was quality work...I mistakingly watched it, confused, expecting quality work...jokes on me.

Voted Accordingly.

[The Nut Job (part 2)]

Half as long with twice the bang!

Giant robot action, explosions, teamwork, and revenge, this was a good finale to the first part. Consistent and great animation, once again with great musical selection, and a proper ending to the whole thing, leaving no ends un-tied. (except for the people...didn't see any people, but that's irrelevant to the story, so who cares about them.) I can't wait to see your coming projects! Voted 5, The Nut Job wins!

[The Nut Job (part 1)]

Great job!

Humorous content with a crisp story, tucked underneath a big-warm blanket of fantastic animation, and appropriate music. Going to watch the second one right now, voting 5!

And hooray for Invader Zim references!

["This Girl"]

"I don't even care about your personality?"

That's the moral of the story? Wow, is he in for a reality check...dumb kid.

So so graphics; Decent models, good lip-syncing, but no backgrounds, and not a whole lot else going on. It was a ridiculously short music-video, which through the text, was sweet and thoughtful, but the song contradictorily arrogant and boyish. Hooray for preloaders, start buttons, and replay buttons...for what it's worth, though, I'm voting averagely. You're obviously capable of much better, so let's see some spectacular flashes!

xfactornos responds:

I've fixed the backgrounds and buttons for you.

[SwarmBots]

Your english is coming along nicely!

As for the flash, I thoroughly enjoyed the general idea, and it actually made me smile. Good writing, Great animation, and appropriate sound effects. I voted 5!

Hope you're learning great things! Keep it up!

TommyVF responds:

Thanks! The task were just to make a movie named SwarmBots, so I could almost make whatever I wanted. You voted five, yeah!

[Compulsion]

Interesting piece.

Although I realized 15 seconds into the piece that most of the load-time was spent on the audio, I sat back and remembered that, as you had said, it was a "Short, but meaningful" flash...once I took that in, as well as everything else, it came together smoothly.

I appreciated certain visuals, messages like "Let it out" with a big heart in the middle could show relivance with a vast seat of the Newgrounds Audience, but the only thing that kept me from scoring higher on your first flash was with the fact that it just cut-off abruptly; There was no end. Up until that point, I was actually diggin' what I was watching and listening too, but the cut-off is what hurt your score, I think...

...Everyone else will probably bitch about your style of art and animation, but as long as there's a point to it, it's okay in my book. I suggest that you don't get discouraged by the bashers and strive to become better at what you do. I want to see more from you, dude. That's a fact.

IC87 responds:

Thank-you! I wanted it to be longer, but I was really tired as it was, and felt like it was ready enough to be submitted.

[Race Across The Rainbow]

Well worth every minute of time spent on this!

Fascinating piece! It takes your imagination on a fantastic ride, with tasteful music, meticulously BEAUTIFULLY crafted visuals, and a good moral to cap it all off. This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to see come out of Newgrounds, and I can only hope to see more from you!

I had several things going on at once when I was waiting for this to load, and about a good 30 seconds into it after I had hit play, I completely forgot about everything else; The flash just brought me there, and that to me says that you have an outstanding talent as an animator! Voting 5, adding in my favorites! Spectacular job, dude; You've earned your spot on the front page!

[The English Paper]

Wow, I've been there before...

...I can totally relate to the character! Masterfully crafted piece; Great animation that flows perfectly with the awesome audio! Voted 5 and added in favorites! Keep up the good work, man! Wanna see more from ya!

[Star Work Episode 1]

Awesome!

A brand new series with promise; Decent animation, Great voice acting, and Excellent writing! It's structured in a way that I found I was never bored with the flash, It consistantly had my attention, and as a pilot to a new series, it can go in ANY direction; The possibilities from here on out are endless!

What's more, I fully support this because it's an original idea completely done by the artist/team...we need more creativity like this on the portal. It made me laugh, it kept me entertained, and it left me wanting more. This flash wins! Voted 5.

Uptown-SlimJim responds:

I'm glad it struck a chord with you. It's praise like yours that keep this flash gig worthwhile. Cheers
