Galneda's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MGS - Cobra Unit Club]

ROFLMAO

Big Boss giving that one guy a seat is what got me the most. This was awesome!

ItsTheAshtray responds:

lol Thats my favorite part too

[L4D Short: The Witch]

LOL

I was playing that earlier with some friends. Every time, though, we'd have one dumbass that would just shine his flashlight at her, and an otherwise calm situation turns bad...

Ahh, great game.

Where the flash lacked in runtime, it made up for in content. I personally like this animation style, and I'd like to see more of it in lengthier pieces.

Backgrounds were fine, IMO. I like how you even got the Witch music from the actual game and what-not in there. All-around, attention to detail was good!

Voted 5! Keep up the animating and wiping out those hordes!

[All Your BLAM!]

Historically, this flash is pivotal to Newgrounds.

The flash itself is well done, especially for it's time; with detailed, and un-choppy 3D model's, good lip-syncing, artwork, and appropriate music and robot-voices to parody the All Your Base meme, it's all-around great!

Looking back at it now seems to remind me of where we are with fresher spam-crews...although the Clock Crew started it with the most legendary spam submission ever, "B", they have since matured. What "Clocks" that haven't moved on away from Newgrounds have become talented animators, and it's rare when I ever see a bad clock flash.

But when this was new, it was different. The Clocks seemed to be at the height of annoyance as the Kitty Krew or Socom Squad, who resemble closely to the Clocks from years ago. Now we have so many spam crews, we don't know what to do with them all. About the most we can benefit from them are the abusive reviews to blow a whistle on every once and a while when someone gets fed up with the Duck Division.

Maybe Stick-Clock in this flash was right...there were too many for the Blam Club, (now, any organization that coordinates blams on under judgement submissions are illegal) to weed out. Perhaps someday, there will be an answer.

Be it a Fulp, be it a user, be it a group of newgrounders, the spam submissions that blighted the portal then have only fractured off into different factions now thanks to the spiking popularity of our beloved site.

...And All Our Blam are belong to them.

Voted 5.

[Unfinished-Movie-BONANZA]

PAC-ASS!

LAWL!

Great frame-by-frames! Very smooth, very smooth. Nice menu layout, nice variety to switch it up.

The only thing that hurt it score was it seemed more like four-tests-in-one rather than four-shorts-in-one. Either way, this proves you are a very capable artist. Good job! Voting 5!

[Blink and man]

It would help if the character's had filling.

Other than that, the simple facial expressions and the pupils getting wider and wider in fear of "blink" made me chuckle.

This is a good first submission! Hell you even had menu's with extras in shit, I don't even know how to do that yet...remember the old-school review system? That would've given interactivity a 10.

But as for the flash in general, it was a nice, simple flash, that didn't disappoint me and impressed me to a degree.

Voting 5 anyway. Lulz

[It's Cold Inside]

Interesting.

Although I don't dig the rape aspect of it, I can appreciate how you balanced an artistic style while keeping it tasteful.

It's an interesting trip into a mind that thinks off the path of the norm. I can appreciate the originality of the piece, and that's why I can see how this got front page, and for that, congratulations.

[Jitters]

Oh My God.

This flash touched me, Stimulated my imagination, and danced on my retinas.

Merry Christmas indeed, you had better pass your Film Studies course, because that flash was incredible.

The symbolism and craft of the art in this has taken me aback. You animated it brilliantly to the music, and for a very artsy flash, it has tons of repeatability.

Voting 5 and added to favorites, dude. Amazing!

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

LOL

Reminds me of my friends and I. This entire flash pretty much sums it up.

The only difference is there's significantly less bitching about pancakes. Literally EVERYTHING ELSE in this flash is a typical day for us.

Right down to the insult-athon at the end while third-parties that come in the middle of it give off the greatest reactions.

Great animation!
Great voice acting!
A premise we can easily identify with!
WIN!

Vote 5!

[Sonic vs Knux fan flash]

Not bad.

I thought the pace was way too slow through most of it, but you kept with traditional graphics and music (I love the Sonic 1 music)

But yeah...just make it faster, and try switching up the camera angles from the far-away perspective...most of the backgrounds remained stationary.

Other than that, how did you get the text to appear as if under an invisible spot-light? I haven't figured that out.

Keep up the good work!

[Operation Neptune: Part 1]

I remember your first Madness WWII Flash.

This is THREE TIMES better than that. Great work!

Sound effects switched it up throughout, and the background music was never overbearing or too quiet; it was just right.

Anatomically, the Madness characters themselves remained consistent. The only inconsistency is when the Private is looking around the corner, and at one moment the church was there by itself, and the next moment, the German soldiers seemed to just appear.

You switched up the camera-angles well, there were no "Nazi-Posters" like in the last one, but there was nice ambient grafitti. The background noises and planes flying in the background were an excellent touch.

All in all this was a very well-thought-out Madness WWII flash.

But, I'm also going to leave you with constructive criticism.

1. I love that you opted for the voice acting route. If I were to criticize the voices (which were very well recorded) I would only advise you to voice ACT:
They're in a war-zone, in the middle of the fighting, they would be trying to shout over the all-but-deafening war noises. Sneaking around, the private would whisper what he saw around the corner. Throughout the flash, it generally seemed to be at the same tone. For example, the one line I thought was the least acted was "Well, the war is over for him."
2. The Enemy AI. If three soldiers are firing at a soldier, trying to flush him out from behind a corner, and a grenade landed at his feet, I would expect some kind of reaction other than sit there and take it. Even if they genuinely were unaware of their empending doom, that should've been better established.

Cannot, repeat, CAN NOT wait to see what you got next. If your rate of improvement continues at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see your next flash on the front page.

As for this one, Voting 5. Great job!
