f0d's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rotten Antenna]

powerful

the art was really striking, i like a lot of the contrasts in color you used and the way they changed throughout the flash. the music was really perfect and totally captured the ambient mood you were going for. REALLY nice effects, a lot of techniques i havent seen used before. overall fantastic work, make more

[the tribe]

hahaha

i dont know why but it gets funnier each time you watch it... the first time i was scratching my head but it was hysterical the second and third time

[Awesome Center Redux]

not my thing

the graphics were good, and i think it is worth mentioning that you do improve your art with each new submission. so kudos in that department, the backgrounds and poses are pretty nice. better than the other submissions in the series.

the problem i had was the humor. like the other awesome flashes it relied on fast paced overly hyper dialog and contorted drawings for laughs. the jokes didn't seem like anything really interesting or new, and though i like some exaggeration in animation, i thought the way you exaggerated things was so excessive that it was just annoying, almost like you were trying too hard.

i dunno i tried to give this one a chance based on the description but i still just didn't enjoy it at all. its too similar to the other movies in the series and im just not a fan of the "awesome" style you're using. you must admit its the sort of humor than only a certain type of nerdy fan enjoys. and my oh my are there a lot of those people on NG... all i see are tens for the next 10 pages of reviews...

if you want some constructive criticism and not just a legion of morons sucking your dick and begging you to make more awesome movies, this is my two cents: the whole "awesome" act has gotten old and i think you should move on from it, you clearly have the talent to make better material.

[Ghost Out Part 3]

goodie

loved the first two ghost outs, they were probably the main inspiration for dailytoon 400. this one didnt disappoint. the art wasnt always amazing but for the most part it was great. what struck me as best about the flash was the direction, with the nice camera angles, music, and voice acting it really did feel like a neo noir hollywood film. overall i'd say nice addition to the ghost out series and can't wait for part 4

RedMongoose responds:

Thats pretty awesome, I'm honored I had no idea. Yea I'm going to get part 4 out pretty soon, I didn't want to end this one on another cliffhanger but I'm tryin to keep them all about 5 minutes long and the file was starting to slow my comp down. I'll try to make part 4 the best yet

[There She Is!! step3]

hear me out

this flash had excellent graphics. the animation was well done and the characters remained good and consistent in their movement. there was a lot of quality FBF work here, especially when the camera rotates. this review is by no means a knock on the craftsmanship of this flash.

but sambakza is not one animator. it is three. they all have a pretty uniform style, which is good because it keeps things consistent, but i personally am not a fan of the stereotypical anime style they use. in my opinion, their combined talents could make something better and more original than this. what they've made with all three "there she is" flashes is just too painfully cutesy for my taste. the music here was also abysmal and impossible to listen to.

also to be perfectly honest, the premise of the flash seems best suited to twelve year old korean girls, not newgrounds.

my suggestion to the authors is to keep making flash but try something that is more of a departure from the norm next time

[Rats on Cocaine - Ep # 9]

lmfao

there have been more fucked up episodes of rats on cocaine, but none that were this well animated. quite possibly the best graphics of any flash in the series. as usual, insanely creative shock humor, great voice acting, and beautiful writing (god damn i love gerbils on opium).

i applaud you for taking such an original and unique approach to violence. you are basically trying to make it so you cannot be topped in terms of sheer shock value, and honestly, its working... i have yet to see anything more fucked up than this. that, my friends, is true creativity. probably deserves an 18+ rating but whatever. keep it up dean, i always look forward to these.

ApocalypseCartoons responds:

ahh, nicely put. thank you.

[Bad Baby]

fucking incredible

i love you so much for making this. ive had ideas to do flashes that are like this before but you pulled it off way better than i wouldve. you managed to take the most twisted fucked up thoughts in your heads and actually bring them to life on screen. great FBF work, great hair raising music, great fucked up mind bending visuals, great everything

this is one of the best experimental flashes i've seen on NG. and one of the most twisted and mind numbing experiences i've ever had watching a flash movie. great work, favorited

[ne Plus Ultra: Bette Noir]

what

i thought i left a review on this already. whatever, i'll reemphasize what an unbelievable and inspirational flash this is, despite its score and views. i nominate for most unerrated flash on NG every year and so do many other people. never seems to catch anyone's attention. its a damn shame because this flash is one of the very best this site has to offer. i mean its just so fuckin enjoyable to watch, i dont even care when it loops back to the beginning i just keep watching it

[pigeon]

very enjoyable

this had a very eerie and strange vibe to it. i tend to love flashes like that, anything that is so strange it arouses indescribable feelings. obviously not a lot of work put into this but also obvious that you have the potential to make some amazing stuff. do more experimental stuff, its excellent. nice work

PancakeBreakfast responds:

nice. i think you speak the truth! thanks for the comment

[Ng Voicemail #973]

it was ok

the voicemail was fuckin hilarious. the animation, nicely done especially for stick figures, good emotion in the characters. but honestly the joke at the end just wasn't funny and kinda ruined it for me. a little too short too. nice work though hahaha rumblemunky i love you for leaving that message
