Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[From Life to Death]

\m/

This concept has been done many times before, but it's nevertheless touching everytime I'm watching this kind of animation/movie/whatever.

The music you chose for you flash was really fitting and I enjoyed listening to this tune.

The graphics are really simple but yet very effective. You managed to display everything in a good and simple way. However, sometimes the characters seemed to be transparent, so that objects behind the characters could be seen through them and sometimes they weren't transparent, hiding the outlines of objects behind them.
I think it would be better if one couldn't "see through" a character throughout the movie as it seems rather strange like it is now.

Yeah, I tried to tamper with it, and make them appear solid, but when I did one thing, it ruined another, so I went with the best optomization.

[I Hate Snowmen]

\m/

I like the graphics in this one. They seem a bit simple at first, but they are very effective.

The animations are done very well. Especially when that kid rolls over the snowmen with his steam roller.

The music added a good atmosphere to the flash. It made look the guy even meaner as he would have looked without the music.

My favorite scene is where the guy duels with that snowman. I think this is a very funny scene ^^.

I didn't like that the background looked so bland. It was just a light blue sky. Some clouds or some trees would surely add a bit to the flash.

I like the duel too. The guy is so intense, and the snowman is just standing there smiling :D

Boring backgroud is something I never considered, but wish that I had fixed up.

[The Halloweenator]

I liked this movie a lot, despite it's little flaws.

The characters looked very good. I liked how you displayed "the Terminator". He had a very angular face, opposed to the kids who had very round and "soft" faces.

I also liked how the hair of the girl moved when she moved her head. That looked very realistic.

Another very good part is the voice acting. It was done very great and the one who spoke Arnold/The Terminator made a fantastic job with the accent.

When the Terminator went away to get something for the kids it looked very unrealistic, but yet very comical and funny.
My main problem is the explosion at the and. Not only did it look unrealistic but it also didn't have any impact on the surroundings, it seemed.

Thanks for your review.
I've noticed that a number of people have commented on how Arnold walked away unrealistically. This was my failed attempt at comedy. During the time I thought it would be funny to try to mimic the way Yotam Perel (LazyMuffin) made his characters jump around instead of walking. Also since I was pressed for time, I had to come up with a cheap way to animate his movement.

The song is really nice. And even though the happy tone of the music doesn't go along well with the rather depressing atmosphere of the flash, I like the contrast between the music and the flash.

The drawings are done very well and also the 3D was done in a very good way. My main problem with this flash is it's length. I had a feeling that it was over before it really started. But it's a good flash anyway!

Thanks for the review.
I really don't understand what you mean by the 3D. Are you just talking about the moving backgrounds? A simple use of layers produced that effect. Since everyone likes it so much, I'll try to experiment with it some more.
