Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[News Reporter V]

\m/

Oh yeah, News Reporter get's killed! Interesting... too bad he will be back sooner or later in one of your other flashes, as all killed characters make a reappearance it seems.

The story is quite amusing and I like how you put some real life happenings (Bahamut going to London) in here. The voice acting is good as always, but Omega could have done a bit better. There were some static noises when he spoke. Maybe he should hold his mic a bit away from his mouth when he's speaking.

"Omega could have done a bit better."

He needs a better mic.

[All Your Leet]

\m/

This may have been a good parody of the AYB-flash, which itself isn't that great to begin with, but it started a craze like not much flashes can do.

Right at the beginning is the first minor flaw I noticed. The "Start"-button is only clickable on the text, not on the spaces in between. There are good button tutorials on NG, so you should check them out.

The drawings here are quite poor, it may have been better if you just used the original intro for that. Or put some more effort into your drawings.

The sound quality was very poor. It sounds as if you played the song on your PC and recorded it at the same time with a mic. You also just used the original AYB-song instead of putting some effort into this flash and dub it (ie exchange all the "base" in the song with "leet").

The pictures are quite nice, but most of them are way too small, so that I wondered why the flash needed such a big screen if there's nothing as big in the flash?
So, try to enlarge the pics next time.

Eh, ok. No there won't be a next time though.

[Fairwell Ross]

\m/

Though both contributions are very short I enjoyed them very much! You both managed to get your message through in this short time, so I guess you've done everything right on "story" aspects here.

I enjoyed Little-Rena's part a bit more, because it focused a bit more on Ross I think. The letter he left was nice to read (even though it could have been displayed a tad bit longer. I couldn't hardly finish reading it) and the fact that he wishes that his replacement is a little worse than him put a smile on my face.

Little-Rena responds:

I think I remember displaying the letter for as long as it took me to read it, I'm often a slow reader so I thought it would be okay, but yeah sorry. I wanted to make the letter funny in a subtle way like that.

Thanks for the review :)

[VZ Series:Naruto V Sasuke]

\m/

I don't know much about Naruto as I don't watch that show, so I can't tell how good your flash was compared to the anime. But I think you've done a very good job here.
The fight was quite interesting and you used some very nice effects here and there (like the explosions or when the fighters where "powering up").

Sometimes the font you chose was quite hard to read, so maybe you should use some different colours for the letters.
Also you should spellcheck the subtitles before you submit the flash. I noticed that nasty little "your"/"you're" spelling error once. It's very annoying to read "your" when you really mean "you're", as it can be so easily avoided...

The idea with the three different endings is a very good one, even though the endings where quite short. It's also a very good idea that you only jumped back to the "choice screen" when one presses the replay button. Otherwise it would be very boring to sit through the whole fight again, just to see a different ending.

Thank You for the review...

[Mars is Next! (4/3)]

\m/

The scenes are quite funny, but you were right deleting them from the actual flash, as they don't offer that much to the plot of the "Mars is next!" series. Besides, the voice of White Mage would have destroyed the otherwise good voice acting.

White Mage was too random....Oh.

[Pokemon Bahamut Version]

\m/

I have to agree with what you said in a response: This definatly is your best flash so far! It will be interesting to see if you can top that with your 100th flash (btw: it has to be a lot more than blah blah blah :P ).

The story is clearly based off the pokémon games, and I can tell that even though I never played a single pokémon game, heh.
I really liked when you suddendly zoomed out and we could see Bahamut playing "Pokémon Bahamut Version" on a DS.
My favorite scene however is the cheating glitch. It's so familiar somehow... :D

The voice acting is great as always, but Graham's voice is too low. I couldn't hardly understand what he was saying.

The graphics (especially the backgrounds!) are very good. Seems as if you stoped being lazy for this flash! :P

But I expect your 100th flash (only 9 to go as of now!) to be three times as amazing as this one! :P

kinggila responds:

For my 100th flash, I just hope I can do 3D animated backgrounds. That would resolve the main problem of myself not being able to make a flash about a car trip. :)

Thanks Haggard!

[Edgar N' Locke 06]

\m/

"YAY NEW VOICE!" :D
Maybe Edgar could have mentioned the voice change of Locke by saying something like "didn't you sound different on the last episode?" or something like that. But the flashing "YAY! NEW VOICE!" was good, too.

The story was quite interesting, I'm amazed how you can pull off something new AND stay on the same topic at the same time every episode. I also really liked the facial expressions of Edgar and Locke when Relm said Green Day and RHCP are her favorite metal bands, heh.

The "featured solo(s)" section is a very nice idea, even though I don't like Megadeath. But "Hangar 18" features the same chords as Metallica's amazing "Call of Ktulu", so Mustain once had at least some song writing abilities. :P

kinggila responds:

I could have let Edgar comment on Locke's new voice, but then they would have blabbered on about it. I couldn't let them do that. :p

...Damn NG, why can't you have a setting for having a certain amount of days for new reviews and not just 2 days all the time?

[Under My Voodoo]

\m/

You have some very nice animations in this one, even though I have to say I didn't understand everything what I saw here. But then again, some things are better be left open for interpretation.

The graphics are very fine and fit the theme of your animation very well, I don't think you can improve much here. Also the humor goes along perfectly with the graphics and the animations.

The sound quality was a bit low, but that is the price you have to pay for a small filesize, so that's ok.

Overall it's a very good animation, keep up the good work!

Voodoo responds:

There really was no story, I just animated as I went along ;3
as for the sound, I forgot to raise it up, so unfortunately It was a little late to go back after i noticed.

[Music Video Collection]

\m/

There are some funny scenes in it and most of the songs are presented pretty good, but your movie lacks some animations.

The funniest scene was the scene during the Pokémon Theme, where you presented that little chart during the line "I want to be the very best, Like no one ever was" with Cuck Norris being second on that list.

Most of the charakter drawings are pretty good and the lip syncing is done pretty well, too. But the other parts of the body need to be animated as well! Most of the time the singers were just standing there, moving their mouthes and nothing else. Try to animate the arms and eyes as well, so that there's something more happening on the screen.

Sometimes the scenes where just too long, especially the "I'm blue"-scene. It's not a good song to begin with and most of the scene contained nothing but the words "da ba di" being written all over the place, or the "Go west"-scene. The guy was just walking "west" all the time and nothing else happened (except for a little change in the background).

I also think it would be better if you don't change the songs so abrupt, but add a little "changeing radio stations" sound between the songs.

Assios responds:

Thanks, glad you liked the Chuck Norris part... Thanks for a good review :)

[3D Animation Test]

\m/

Well, I liked the bottom right turret best, because it seems to have more details than the other guns.

The top gun has an annoying pixel error on the left hand side, so that it looks like the left side is always "moving". The bottom left gun looked quite ugly when it showed it's front to the viewer because suddendly all the barrels just dissappeared, leaving some kind of a "blank spot" there.
