Frenzy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[lord of the rings- killer]

Okay

--The Good--

Well, I guess some of the levels were pretty interesting. The design was kind of unique. I especially liked level 4; I thought that that was pretty interesting and unique. There was quite a bit of interactivity in this movie; the cursor was pretty, well, 'unique', and interesting. Also, I quite liked the music for this game. I thought that it fit well with the whole game, and was interesting and not annoying.

--The Needs-Improving--

Well, first of all, what does this have to do with Lord of the Rings? I mean, it wasn't abad game or anything, but a lot of people are (probably) going to be disappointed and give this submission a lower score than they would have given if you;d called it something else (your probably hearing that a lot, but I just thoguht I'd mention it :). There was no humour in this game at all, which might not be a bad thing, but, once again, I just tought I'd mention that. Also, there was pretty much no violence in this game, which, once again, might not be a bad thing. Also, I found that it was almost impossible to pass the 5'th level (at least for me). I kept either hitting the walls, or running out of time. You might want to consider (or actually do) making it just A LITTLE bit easier for players of your game.

--Overall--

Overall, I gave you a 5 (in the review :). This game definately needs improving, but it is an okay submission. This isn't an absolutely spectacular submission or anything like that, but it is fine, and I guess it is what it is. I enjoyed the music; it fit the game. You should proabbly change the name from, 'lord of the rings- killer', to something else, that fits the game better (you're probably hearing that all the time, but anyway).

[Daily Short]

Not that great

This wasn't that great of a movie. It was far to short, it didn't have enough of a, well, plot, and it didn't even really mkae any sense. You call it 'Daily Short' and yet you have no other submissions in the portal? Very odd. Anyway, this definately needs some improving, and I'll tell you what to improve on (as well as other things) in this review.

The grpahics for this movie were actually pretty good. I like the way that you drew them; it made the flash look sharp and sophisticated. The text wasn't bad, although it was kind of shaky and a little bit hard to read. You could have made the whole flash about at least 25 to 30 seconds longer, to show off some more of your good drawing skills. The length was probably the biggest problen of this whole movie, actually. Luckily, the graphics were pretty good, which is kind of why I'm giving you the score I gave you.

The style of this movie was pretty good, too. I liked the way you drew the characters (as I said above). The graphics were probably what saved this whole movie (I also said that above). Nice job with the style. You could have added more too it, though. Maybe some credits... a menu... extras...? Just a few thoughts. Maybe this cartoon should be called 'Random Short', since it isn't really 'Daily.' That might make more sense. Anyway, nice job with the style.

I actually really liked the sound in this movie. I thought that the soundeffects went really well with the rest of the movie, the music was very good, and kind of set the theme of the movie. You could have added audio for the vioces, maybe (if you have a microphone, that is). Once again, if you had made the movie longer, you could have showcased some more of that great sound. Anyway, it was pretty good, and probably (as well as the style) the high point of this particular movie.

There was some violence in this movie. The rabbit getting shot in the head was violence, and also the guy getting shot in the head was violence. Since that was basically the whole movie, you didn't have nough time to pack any more shots of people getting shot in the head. This isn't a bad thing, probably. But, once again, the length of this movie kind of, well, wrecks, for lack of a better word, the movie. Just make it a bit longer!

There was a little bit of interactivity in this movie. The 'PLAY' button was some interactivity, and the 'REPLAY' button was some more interactivity. It doesn't really matter that this doesn't have that much interactivity, since it is a movie, not a game.

And, finally, humour, whcich there a little bit of. I can't really explain why, but it was kind of sick humour. Well, anyway, as with interactivity, it isn't a big deal that this didn't have that much humour.

I wrote this review in kind of 2 parts, because in the middle of writing this, I had to go out. Just thought I'd mention that. Well, believe me or not, this movie does need some improving. I thought that it was far too short, it kind of needs a plot, and it needs to make sense. I had no idea what was going on. Anyway, nice try, but if you make another one of these, you should, and could, improve.

...

Yes?

[That girl]

Nice job!

I enjoyed this flash. I thought it was unique, interesting, and well-done.

Graphically this is pretty good. I like your style of drawing. And, on that note, style-wise, this was pretty good as well! Sound I thought was well-done; it was well voice-acted and the sound-quality wasn't scratchy or muffled or anything like that. Violenece there was none of (which doesn't really matter). Interactivity I'llg ive you a one in (for the 'Play' button at the beginning). And humour there was a tiny bit of.

Nice job!, and continue working on more flash!

RedHotPoker responds:

More is on the way soon.

[Hasbro Armageddon]

Pretty good, but not great

This was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it. It was kind of funny, and it wasn't perfectly aniamted, but it was still cool.

Graphically, it wasn't the best, as I mentioned above. But, that's not really what matters (in this case). Style-wise it was pretty cool. Sound was cool, but there wasn't a lot of it. Violence there was some of, because of the whole shooting thing. Interactivity there was hardly any, but this is a movie, not a game, so it doesn't really matter. And humour there was only a little bit of.

Good job on this... although I think you could improve, this is a good start.

MegaJohnny responds:

Thanks for reviewing and I totally agree with you. The lack of detail was mostly due to laziness. I got the sound from FK, as it's a great source of free sounds etc. I made the rain quieter in Audacity, but that made it inaudible when all the other sounds were playing...

[Apple Crew Fails]

Umm... okay

This was okay. I guess the graphics were pretty good, the sound was pretty good.

The graphics were pretty good, although there weren't a lot of them. Style-wise this was okay, I guess. Sound was pretty good. Violence there wasn't a lot of, but there was a little. Interactivity there hardly was any, but, once again, there was a little. And humour there was none of.

Good job, I guess. But work on making your movies longer, and make them have more of a point, I guess.

vBulletinClock responds:

It's only fun for us, so yeah... Glad you voted fair, instead of all the fags saying "OMG GLOKS SUXURS!11!1! BLAMK!!111!1!1!1

[I scream for Icescream]

Umm...

This one sort of startled me. I was expecting a music video of the song (I gave sound a 7 because of that song ;), but it ended up being a 'shock flash'. From what was actually animation it was pretty good... and then it went all, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" on me. Anyway, I guess good job... but put more 'effort' into your flashes, and actually try and make something! (Not that this isn't something, but still.)

smoothtoons responds:

LOL Thanx!

[the most random fbf ever]

Weird... and random!

That was very, very random, true to the name... I enjoyed it actually. It was well done, I thought. The graphics were pretty good, and... I dunno. It was just good, I guess. It could have been better in areas, like: sometimes I didn't know what was going on on the screen. Anyway, it could be better, but nice job anyway!
