Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TV Rules the Nation]

\m/

Very good flash you have here. I really like the style of this movie. The coloring is somewhat unusual and very unique. Shows that you put a lot of effort and thought into this movie.

The song fits the movie perfectly, even though it could have been a bit louder (the tune in the credits was a bit louder than the tune in the actual movie).

The plot is very good and also very thoughtful. One has to think about what happened in this flash before one can fully grasp the story.

The bonus scene was a very nice addition to the movie. :)

Jimtopia responds:

I did notice that the credits were a little loud, but I kind of think of it as "waking you up," lol. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you liked the little bonus movie, I figured most people would enjoy that.

Well, the graphics are really nice. You also had very good and detailed backgrounds, which is a big plus for your movie.

The voice acting was all right. The voices were easy to distinguish and very easy to understand.

The plot seemed pretty much random to me, even though you had some funny scenes in there. The scene in the prison with the music was very funny, but a bit too long. If that "music battle" had been half as long as it is now it would be much better, I think.

[Tributes of Life]

A very touching flash movie. At first I thought this wouldn't turn out that well, but I'm somewhat glad that it at a happy ending after all :) .

The graphics are quite nice here. Not very good drawn, but as you've said that wasn't your major point. But you managed to display everything in a very good way, that's all that counts.

The animations however need some more work. They seemed rather stiff, so this led the flash down a bit.

I liked that you kept the colours in a grey tone. This way everything fits very well together (some flash artist don't have a good taste when it comes to colouring their flahes ^^) and it transported that depressing and uncomfortable feeling of the first half of the flash very well. The sad song you chose for this flash transported this feeling as well.

However, I think it would be better if you changed the colours to some brighter tones and/or changed the music when the girl finally arrived, because now the feeling of the story and the feeling of the images and the audio don't go along so well. Hey, your girl just arrived, it's a damn good reason to be happy and joyful now! ;)

Also it would be a good idea if you turned down the volume of the background sounds during your commentary, because sometimes it was quite hard to understand what you were saying.

Clinpachi responds:

ty for the review, i took everything said to mind and will work on the minor things on my next official submission ^^; I'll also work better on the volume for little things like the commentary.. i should have boosted it a little and adjusted background sound..

[Samus and Company]

\m/

It's a nice flash and you used the sprites very well. The animations were very smooth and when both characters fought each other the movements of both fitted very well together.

I liked the way you put the text in. Definatly better than just writing the text in little speech bubbles ;) .

Only thing that bothered me is: Why did they fight? And why didn't Mario say a thing?
Ah well, I guess you were sorta just messing around here for your first flash, so I will kindly overlook that. :P

PicosGhost responds:

Thanks a lot. That's obviously what any artist aims to achieve; fluid animation. I'm glad you think I did it well. I've already explained in other review responses the long, grueling proccess of putting all the sprites together to achieve such an effect :P

Yea, that whole text thing I put in just so it would capture the viewer's eye. And apparently it did! :P But unfortunately, that takes a whole bunch of time so in the sequel, I'm actually reverting back to the boring, ill reviewed text as popups... for now. That may change later.

Fret not about the reason for the fight, the sequel will thoroughly explain everything, mainly through the use of flashbacks and other techniques. I actually was just messing around when I made this lol. But now I think I've got a solid story established, and I can finally move forward. I'm not really sure why Mario didn't say anything. I think I did that because he rarely EVER speaks in video games, save for his "mama-mia" and other what have you's. But again, fret not. In the sequel, he will have the power of speech :)

Thanks for your review amigo, I appreciate the feedback.

[Goat Trip]

\m/

Heh, I love this movie. The graphics here are very good and very clean. The trip itself was animated and visualized in a very good (and trippy) way.
The music fit well and got along very good with the animations.

I especially liked the scene changes back to reality, that gave this flash some dynamic plot and gave the viewer a good laugh (well, at least it gave ME a good laugh ;) ).

I don't know what you could made better here, in my opinion this flash is perfect at it is now (well, except for the graphics, there's ALWAYS some room for improvement, no matter how good they are), that's why you leave me no other choice than to give you 10 stars ;) .

Graeme responds:

No choice hey? I am rather intimidating I suppose ;)
Thanks for the great review.

I feel the same about animations. They are never truely "perfect."
That's what draws me to flash.
No matter how good you are, you can always be better.
Like look at my first movie compared to this. You might laugh at it's patheticness

[Bahamut N' Satan 777]

\m/

Wow, that was really unexpected. So Fred got tired of Barney one day and disguised himself as a dragon, I guess?

I have to say Coop was right by saying Slayer sucks. Because, they DO suck :P (Well, they suck less if played on a Hammond organ... if you don't know what I'm talking about do a quick search for "Mambo Kurt Slayer" on youtube ;) ).

Anyways, do you plan to submit a "Bahamut N' Satan 888" flash this year?

{ Review Request Club }

kinggila responds:

Yeah, that's the story about Fred Flintstone.

Yes, I plan to make a Bahamut N' Satan 888 this year, but only if I have my 100th flash finished before August. If not, I'll have to let it slide. My friend had an idea in mind for Bahamut N' Satan 888 now, but claims to have forgotten it. :( Still, we'll think of something.

[Mars is Next! (3/3)]

\m/

Congratulations on finally destroying Mars, heh.

It was a very good final episode for this little series of yours. You continued the story very well and the scenes that played in the past were very good. Good thing that you have that little pointer indicating who's speaking, or else the conversation between "Present Bahamut" and "Past Bahamut" would have been very confusing ^^.

I really liked the menu and the scene selection here. Be sure to include that if you plan another small series (or if you actually continue with the plot of the "Mars is next!"-series).
Also the background image of the main menu was a nice thing, too.

kinggila responds:

Mars is Next! has been concluded. It is part of the dormat series known as Universe Domination. The series will not resume until after I make my 100th flash, but even then, I'll need to write up THE WHOLE SERIES before making another flash. And yes, that does mean I might have to remake some of the flashes in the series already.

[Mars is Next! (2/3)]

\m/

Very nice story you came up with here. Fits in very well with the other flashes of that series and also has your usual humor in it. Great!

I think Bahamut should practice his amnesia powers a bit, so he can give amnesia to just one person at a time. Would be good to pay back A_S, that little sucker XD .

kinggila responds:

Flash Reviews: 333 :0

Also, nope, practising amnesia won't work. It's like an on and off switch. You can't have it set in the middle. :P

[News Reporter IV]

\m/

Wow, NewsReporter isn't very enthusiastic if he doesn't find the stories intersting, is he?
Maybe you should fire him for good and replace him with someone else ^^.

I think you should have added a few TV sounds at the end, that would have added a bit more atmosphere to the flash.

You'll see what happens on the next episode. ;)

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 203]

\m/

Nice job with manipulating Hitler's image here. I wonder where he got the second head from. Is it a real hat or did he just buy a plastic head? ^^

The music fits quite good to the background. Both give some kind of "jungle feeling".

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Adolf's had that second head all along. He's so pleased he can use Girafarig as an excuse to let it out.
