Galneda's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["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.

[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

[Gamer Tonight - RTS Gamer]

Gotta say, RTS's are for the win.

I appreciate this series for what it's worth, but I gotta say it isn't as funny as it was anymore; The talk show host's voice in my opinion, has always been satirical, and overall many of the punchlines are recycled material (nothing new.) Other than that, I can respect the animation, the voice acting for the most part, and the fact that you've consecutively submitted episode after episode, it's just about worthy of having your own showcased collection within NG itself, but with the content of each episode getting less and less and less as time progresses, I can only hope the next installment will be better than the last at least.

...From the Sims, to FPS, to the MMO, and now to this, it just feels like a downhill slope...about the only line that really made me laugh in this one was the "Sometimes my opponents try and pretend it's like Sim City, going, 'Oooh I'm going to build a pretty little base!' and I'm all like, 'PWNAGE COMING THROUGH!!!'" but the rest was just...lacking. I don't know how else to explain it.

Regardless, this episode wasn't bad; it was good, but not great. Regardless of my opinion, I still can't wait for the next installment, and I'll be here to watch it. Keep up the good work!

"but I gotta say it isn't as funny as it was anymore"

Funny thing is, all these cartoons are almost 9 months old. And they're not being submitted in order, so in terms of things "getting less funny".. That's probably because people don't like the early episodes.. If uploaded the FIRST episode... Well.. That one just isn't even funny at all in my opinion.

The next one is just a set of bloopers.. After that I'm not allowed to say yet.

[Crab murder]

Lol, predictable, but still funny.

The voice acting totally made up for the animation. Try and work on the visuals in the future, but you got a good thing going here with the comedy! Keep up the good work!

mothballs responds:

Thanks so much, the voice acting wasn't by me though lol.

[Anamnesis]

Quit doubting yourself...

...You made a great piece that recaps on some of the best moments on our beloved Portal. You help make us proud to be apart of Newgrounds, and for that, you should be honored.

I know you are your own worst critic, but brighten up! You did a fantastic job! Voted 5 all the way! Thanks for the inspiration!

indigoApe responds:

I'm not really doubting myself, I'm just pointing out that this is really overrated

Thanks for the kind review

[HELPING]

Pretty Good!

My only problem with it was the introduction...it just took, S-o L=o=n=g to get through it...but other than that, great flash! Well written, supporting music WITH credit's, Play and Replay, well done animation, and even a voice clip! Good job!

-Phobotech-

THE-BIT responds:

yep, credits are important, thanks for the good score :)

[Just a Pilot - Episode 2]

Pretty good!

Only problem with it is that the sound tends to get out of sync with the mouth animations pretty steadily...they talk, and the first couple of seconds it's okay, but that gap of difference gets wider and wider...see what you can do as far as tweaking the voice clip to sync up with the voice animation.

Other than that, well-written, pretty funny series! Can't wait for the rest!

-Phobotech-

Oh, and my favorite character is the stoner.

Koalafish responds:

Thats because the frame r8 is slightly off, we keep trying different speeds. At the moment its about 1 or 2 frames to fast. We're gonna put up a slower frame r8 episode but at the moment its gonna be a bit screwy.

[It's a Halo Thing]

Who the hell needs the flash bros?

This. Was. Perfect.

I've seen and heard alot of the jokes and skits early on when the flash began, but after reading the Author Comments, I now know why. As far as the content goes? The delivery, timing, voice acting, EVERYTHING was spot on! You do a wonderous job on capturing each character's acting through body language and facial expressions with fluid animation.

It brought back the fresh green aroma of the Halo parodies to Newgrounds. I haven't laughed that hard at an NG flash in a while, it was really, really good!

With that, dude, all I can say now is I simply CANNOT wait for the rest of the series.

Fuck the Super Flash Bros. we got HVH!!! Voted 5, number one fav flash, and adding you as a favorite artist as well, good sir! Keep up the good work, we love it!

AlmightyHans responds:

wow, may be a bit much what you said but... thanks!
