Haggard's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Droids Vs Aliens]

\m/

I haven't seen a LEGO stop motion on NG yet, I think. So you definetly get some points for being original ;) .

The plot was nearly non-existent and that made it quite hard to follow the movie, because there was a lot happening in quite a short time.
But the animations seem to be very fluent and the sound effects were put to good use here.

I think you should experiment with different camera angles a bit, just to spice the whole thing up a bit. And you could also use different angles to tell some kind of short story.

Too bad the quality of the pictures is so low or else you would get a much higher score.

I really liked the little picture at the end as it seemed to fit the last scene of the movie nearly perfectly.

Thanks for the review.
You make good points. But since it's points that have been brought up before, i'll just say thanks.

[Darfur Satire Shorts]

\m/

I liked that submission.

The South Park style in the first Short was done very good. You managed to copy that style nearly perfectly. You also had some South Park style humor in there, for example when the US says: "You're helping the Janjaweed by bombing villages!" and the Sudan replies: "Nu-uh." and that green ribbon appeared on the screen. Sure SP-like humor ;) .

The "Transformers"-part was done very well, too. I've never been much into Transformers, so I can't say how good you managed to copy the typical style of that series, but it sure looked great.

The moral of those two shorts is simple but nevertheless right: People should care about what's happening in the world, even though they aren't directly affected by it.

Thanks a lot! I closely analyzed South Park episodes to mimic their animation, mannerisms, and even asked the voice actor ("Shard-Spider") if he could aim for a Trey Parker/Matt Stone sounding voice.

However, the ribbon was to alert that the situation was an actual fact, if you didn't know, meaning Sudan has shrugged off all of these allegations and claimed no responsibly,.
