Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A piece of puke]

\m/

That really WAS random!

I liked your way of animating this. Everything was really smooth and the movement of the characters were good, too.

Although the graphics were quite simple, I still liked them, as you draw everything in a very nice way.

Why thank you for your kind words :)

[Pot Head Bob and a gennie]

\m/

You should add a prealoader, I had to pause the movie and let it finish loading to be able to view it without any interrupts.

The graphics are decent, but there's still room for improvement. Try to draw your characters without the use of simple geometric forms. Circles for heads and rectangles for legs may work in South Park, but here they appear out of place.
I liked how you made the genie transparent. That worked out very well.

The voice acting was ok, even though the should be much louder then they are now. What I liked here was the fact that you had those low TV noises in there, that really added a lot to the flash.

What bothered me the most with this flash is, that it always takes quite some time for the scene changes. For example, when the genie says: "Pass the bong" it takes the second character a few seconds to react. Ok, he's stoned and in real life he would take serveral MINUTES to react at all ;), but here it seems pretty boring as just nothing happens on the screen for a few seconds before every scene change.

[The Fairy Future Mother]

\m/

Everything here looks like a "beta version" to me, but don't worry, I'll try to explain:

First thing I noticed were the mouthes. While the lip syncing is done very good the mouthes or rather the lips looked too big. Also, the teeth were visible a tad bit to often for my taste. But I can imagine that it is really hard to animate mouthes in a way that it still looks realistic.

Second thing I noticed were the movements of the characters. Even though they look good on first glance they seem to be too slow. When the boy opened the window it took him quite some time to open it and to close it again. In "real life" this would happen much quicker than here.

Ok, now to the good things:

I liked the flash as a whole. The drawings are very clean and you also took the time to add some very nice details, like the mouse running through the appartement in that "vision of the horrible future" and the backgrounds looked quite nice, too.

The best point in this flash is the very good voice acting. The grandma, the boy and the fairy all had their own characteristic voice and all were very easy to understand.

The story of this flash is funny and somehow a little twisted. "Being a homeless looks like great fun!" No wonder that the fairy gave up on that boy :D

Thanks for the review, this was another very helpful one. I'm sure my friends will love the fact that you liked the voice acting the best, although it's a bit depressing for me as an artist. I'll work on the pacing of the movie, and I plan on setting my flashes at a higher frame rate too, hopefully that'll help.

[CandyHolics]

\m/

Wow, great flash! The story is very interesting and original. I am glad that the 'CandyHolics' did complete their objective, even though they beat up that kid in the ghost costume ^^.

The menu was very good. It's always nice to have a scene selection, this way it's easier to watch the favorite parts again. I also liked that you had your own mouse pointer. Most flash artist don't make use of that possibility; you did. It's not a big deal, but even the smallest things can help to let your movie stand out from the rest of the portal.

The graphics are amazing, you put a lot of details in the characters and also in the backgrounds. I also liked that you used many well known characters in your flash. Cameos are always a nice thing ^^.

Sadly, the quality of the sound wasn't that great. Sometimes the voices were hard to understand. At least you had subtitles so that one can still follow the story without problems.

I really appreciate the review. And to comment on my custom cursor even though I created one, it just wasn't visual pleasing which was a downside to it.

Thanks.

[News Reporter III]

\m/

I like how you always put some funny stuff in the background, like Afro_Stud floating by and of course Edgar and Locke headbanging in front of the window.

Voice acting was once again very good, no complaints here. I just missed some of the humor in there.
Well, the stuff happening in the background and your comparison to Kenny and Scratchy are quite funny, but somehow it's just not enough for my taste...

Anways, this is a decent movie that continues your christmas flashes in a nice way!

News just in! Haggard makes some very nice reviews. :)

[Bahamut]

\m/

It's a nice idea of turning the movie upside down. I may watch this again, flipping the screen upside down (some graphics cards can do that, so I don't have to turn my monitor upside down ;) ) and watching the characters fall towards the sky...

Oh, and LOL @ Afro_Stud! If he had a better wig it wouldn't fall off! :P

kinggila responds:

Yeah, a wig that isn't an afro hair. ;)

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D SE1]

\m/

Nice parody and nice costume Hitler wears there. He should put it on more often! :D

kinggila responds:

I couldn't agree more.

[Bahamut's NG Log Bytesize]

\m/

A funny and short movie, perfect for the bytesize player, I think! :D

Casualty causes pure evil with NGLog, and his power grows as more stats are logged... a terrifying thought!

Ok, I'm off now to log my stats! ;)

Careful now!

[Satan's Complaint]

\m/

Hey, nice flash. Bahamut looks really... umm... like an office worker with that tie! :D

Voice acting was as good as always, great thing you and your friends manage to keep that high standard on most of your flashes.

The graphics are nice, too. I like the way you drew that water cooler. And you're right: An office without a water cooler isn't an office!

As soon as I think you've reviewed all my flashes, you happen to review more of my flashes. o__O

[Bahamut's Newgrounds]

\m/

I think this is a very good "My Newgrounds"-Flash. I have only watched the awesome original, but I think this one here should be put into the "My Newgrounds"-Collection ;) .

The graphics and images you used to display the things you said are very good (I especially liked the part were you talk about your ideas for flashes and of course Adolf Hitler being hit by that Pokémon ball).

The lack of subtitles is very unusual for a Bahamut-flash, but you are very easy to understand anyways and the sound quality is very good.

I also liked that flash because you had some very original ideas in here, like the part where you talk about the flashes you submit to the portal and you had that blue "Half Life 2: Portal" 'o' there.
And it's good to see/to hear some of your usual characters in this flash, too :) .

kinggila responds:

Let's hope Tom will update the My Newgrounds collection. :)

Yes, no subtitles this time, but the other My NG flashes didn't, so I decided to leave 'em this time.

Funny, I haven't played the Portal game yet, but I thought the '0' looked like a really good portal, so I borrowed that idea. :)

Thanks for the reviewing Haggard. :D
