Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Beast Snacks 1]

Nice flash

This is a very good flash. It has quite a big filezise, but the wait is sure worth it.

The story is very funny and even though you jump straight into the action in episode 1 it's still quite easy to follow the storyline. You have found a very good way of advancing the story without annoying the viewer with a too long introduction.

The graphis are very nice most of the time. Sometimes it looks a bit too sketchy (for example in the fight scenes), but I guess that's just the style you want to present this flash in.

The voice acting was done in a nice way. All the voices are very fitting to the characters. But sometimes the voices are too quiet, so I had to turn up the volume.

Later on - when the statue awakens - there are sometimes some static noises when a character speaks, as if the recording was overpowered.
I don't know if this just happens for me, though. I had some issues with my sound system lately.

Good, but the menue needs some work

Others have adressed it, but I too think the menue pages are taking overhand, which is a real pity. You should try to think of a better solution (maybe just one menue page with links on it).

Anyway, the pacing of this chapter is pretty good. I like how you jump straight into the action after the phone call and my favorite picture is the one where the cop kicks in the door. I think this is actually the first picture in the whole series where there is one character seen during an action (other than walking and talking of course). This is really nice and I hope to see more "action packed" pictures in future chapters, as they add a lot of atmosphere and suspense to the story.

[Shark Black: Demo]

Good

A pretty good movie. Again, I like your style. It's very dark but it fits to the stories you create.

Just like Coop I think you should shorten the "running scene" a bit. It was too long winded and in the first half of the scene the background was very straining for the eyes.

Also, you really should put in subtitles. I only could make out half of the dialogue because it was whispered the whole time.
Another problem with the whispering is, that you can't really whisper the "hard sounding" consonants like "p" or "t", As a result those consonants where sometimes spoken too loud, which doesn't sound too good in my ears.

Hmmm

This flash needs more work in nearly every aspect. The voice acting was horrible and very hard to understand at times.

The graphics are very sloppy, especially the backgrounds are just some scribbled lines.

The story is at least a bit funny and quite random, so you get some points for that. But other than that this submission is just bad.

[Sky And Earth]

Needs more work

A short flash. The joke is indeed funny, but the voice acting needs more work. Especially the edit on the first line sounds very strange. Sounds as if you added the word "fly" to the file where you said "I'm going to".

The graphics could use some more work as well, they look very rough. I think you just need to practice a bit more and you should be able to create decent graphics soon.

[The RRC Awards]

Nice

A good flash, with some very nice scenes. I especially liked Coop as an "overdressed" english gentleman. ^^
Too bad the audio was so much out of sync in his part.

I liked the links to the nominations in the videos, this should give the artists some more exposure.

Sometimes the popups stating which category the following video is about was gone too fast. Maybe a title screen would have worked better here.

I think a scene selection will help as well in the future

[The Sketch Collab 2010]

Good collab

Well, there are some masterpieces in this collab, that's for sure. I especially liked the "spiderman" tribute in the warm up.

Also, the preloader is awesome. I like how the hand cycles around the paper (i.e. the arm points to the top when the mouse pointer is at the top of the screen and so on). This is a pretty good idea.

Some of the pieces where a bit fast paced so it was sometimes difficult to understand what was going on there. But overall it's a very good collab.

Also congrats on the Daily Featuer! :)
