Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[La Vie Boheme]

Funny

It's nice that the pictures follow the lyrics of the song. Sometimes there are quite some funny pictures in here (for example the pic for the line "boring location" was pretty good).

Also I think the drawings offer the same quality most of the time (except for a few stick figures here and there) which looks a lot better in my opinion.

MonoFlauta responds:

Great thanks a lot for the review, but yes stills needing better quality

[Rama Lama]

Random

The song is nice, the animations are very random and quite rough sometimes.

The drawing style is also very sloppy and the quality of the drawings a very different each picture. At one time we see some pretty good drawn angel-like characters, the next scene is two very badly drawn stick figures moving around in front of a flashing background.

You should try to put only drawings in this piece that offer the same quality, or else it looks just too weird.

Yes this is because we made small clips and then we added the sound and the clips together so, most of them are different on quality

Well i like it weird haha

Thanks for reviewing!

Story becomes clearer

YAY, more colours!

It's nice that you introduced some more colours into this piece. And it was even so subtle that I only realized that something was different, but I couldn't really tell what it was. Then I noticed the green colours. :)

The story begins to become clearer now, which is nice. I also learn to distinguish the characters in the story, which also helps a lot to understand what is going on, heh.

However, in the lower right corner there was some overlay from Newgrounds. I guess it is part of the ad system, but it didn't seem to work properly for me. There was an overlay the whole time, reaching a bit into the panel and even covering one word in one panel (luckily, it was only the name "Colin", so nothing too important missed here)..
I don't know if this was just happening for me or if it does happen for others as well, but it might be worth to have a look at the ads system again.

Yeah I need to be more careful with the ad system next time.
Thanks Haggard!

[MonKKey Chapter 2]

Good flash, but voices are too quiet

Sadly I didn't see chapter one of this, so I don't really know what to think of the story. It's a bit confusing for me. Who's fighting who and even more important, WHY are they fighting?

The graphics are pretty good here. Sometimes they look a bit bland, but overall they are fine. Just like in some old animes.

Animations are decent as well. Sometimes they are a bit rough (for example when the army is running up towards that guy in the middle), but most of the time they look fluent.

However, the voices need to be much louder. I couldn't barely understand a thing when the characters talked, yet I could hear the music and sound effects just fine. So yeah, turn up the volume of the voices.

Hmmm

Well, those loops get boring pretty fast, but at least you had a decent animation going along with it. There's quite a lot of stuff happening in the for- and background, so at leat you put some effort into this flash.

However, as the loop is pretty short and the lyrics of the song contain nothing but "frozen banana" and "bo bo bo bo" it gets boring quickly.
And I also think you could've left the subtitles out as there wasn't anything that was crucial to understand the plot of the flash. ^^

ohh :(

[You can !]

Decent

I think this is a decent flash. The basics are there: A story, some nice drawings, and the animations looked good as well.

But I think you need to work on the pacing a bit more. The beginning and the end scene where a bit too long for my linking.

Sure, the beginning of the flash showing the same thing over and over again is part of the story. But you could try to put some variations in there as well. Maybe cars passing by, the guy with the piece of paper in his hand holding something different, or laying something on the guys desk, etc. .

I felt it progressed too slowly at this point.

The ending scene is a bit too long as well. We can see him in the air for quite some time without him really falling. It seems as if he falls in super slowmotion. I think this could be a bit faster as well.

thanks :/

[Uzbekistan]

Funny

This flash is quite funny. Fro singing in the menu is really priceless. ^^

The jokes are pretty good and they gave me a good laugh or two. But I think the "laughing scene" where the president and that other guy are laughing is too long. It's funny when they laugh together for some seconds, but that's really enough. No need to drag this scene out for what felt like 5 minutes. >_>

Haha i though it was really funny that :p
but well, dont know :p

THanks for reviewing!

Good

Really good episode this time. It's quite long so we have a lot to read, which is nice.

There are some issues though that bothered me. The scene where Simon is talking with Bateman on the cell phone and then his partner shows up. The change between the panels is too sudden. Maybe you should put in another panel where his partner shows up and witnesses that Simon wants to sell the pictures, it wouldn't be as irritating this way.

Also there where some spelling mistakes in here. It's always annoying to see those in a submission as they could easily be avoided if you proof read the text (or show it to someone else so they could proof read it).

Anyway, this a very good chapter.

{ Review Request Club }

Celx-Requin responds:

Yeah I should proof read my stuff, since almost all the text is drawn out, I tend to make mistakes more often, and sadly I can't spell check that stuff...

So this kind of review is extremely important for those reasons.
Thanks Haggard!

[KK NES Vol 04 R.K. Ransom]

Don't think I ever played this

The game looks familiar, but I don't think I have ever played it. But I guess I'll have to take a look a it, it looks interesting. ^^

I like what you did here, the ending was really unexpected and it gave me a good laugh.
Maybe the flash could have been a bit longer. You could have thrown in a longer fight after the character turns into Pico. Maybe show Pico with a submachine gun shooting the Kitty or something.

PantyWipe responds:

*GASP!* ...BLASPHEMY!!! I'd NEVER have Pico kill the Kitty!

[KK NES Vol 03 Kitty Kong]

Should have been a bit longer

Well, the beginning stays true to the original game, which is really nice. But I think you could have done a bit more with it. Maybe show how Donkey Kong drinks liquor from the barrels and goes mad. I think this would have made for a better flash than what it is now. Or maybe show how Mario goes mad after picking up the KK Power Up.
Because the sudden ending kind of destroys what started really promising

Thank you my good chap, for the review
