Smos's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[an292]

oww.. yeah.. !!!

I loved it. Simple, but a very good balance between all scenes. Each scene got just the right time it needed, before switching.
Really, that were some good cinematic skills.

Rutger responds:

I guess, thanks... I've got a lot to improve though :/

[TT14: wallpaperman]

original

It's an original way of drawing your cartoons you got here. I like it!
The story-line is short and simple, but that's ok. It was smooth and with good music, so that makes up for it!
good job!
too bad it didn't get in...

wallpaperman responds:

im not very good against time

[News Beat Ep 1: Mad Cow]

Hard call...

Well, first of all, this movie had kick-ass graphics and sounds. I really have nothing to say about that. It's a pleasure to watch a master at work. :)

But.. (isn't there always a but? ) the movie missed something. And my problem is, I don't know what. (hence "hard call") Maybe it's the fact that we are suddenly confronted with this news beat characters of who we know absolutely nothing. Maybe an intro or at least more explenation about what's going on, would have been nice.
Or maybe everything went too fast. With this I mean that you tried to give us too much humor on too less time. Don't get me wrong: I loved the humor! The alienflag, jack Nicolsons head, ... Genial! But as I said it just came too fast at us.

Anywayz, this may sound a bit negative, but that's not my meaning. You did a great job (again) and I love to see more of it.

Keep up the good work!

cheers

DeathRayGraphics responds:

Thank you for the praise! Master eh? I can take criticism like that all day.

To catch up on what News Beat is all about, watch my "Shock and Awe" series on NG or my website, whatisdeepfried.com (you can also read a bunch of Chad and Chad comics while you are there).

As for the rapid fire pace, that's deliberate. A quick burst of topical comedy to get you through your busy week!

By the way, that is Anthony Hopkins, not Jack Nicholson. Get it? "Brain-eating"? Heh. Some of these gags are just for me.

[Clay Needs Tea (The Best)]

well...

Just like the other clay-animation on NG I like this one too..
There were just a few things that bottered me...

First of all, the movie was kinda short, not? And the plot wasn't clear at all. I couldn't figure out at first what the hell was hapening, and why it was happening.. So that wasn't that good...

In the whole, this is a good movie, a good start I'd say for you clay-animation carreer!

And oh yeah, last thing to say... This is DEFEINTELY not the best clay-animation on NewGrounds!!!! Check out IXIKnoxIXI's!!! He's the king of the portal at the moment, and there is a reason for it!!

DrNeroCF responds:

I know, I know, Knox is by far my favorite animator on there, and there's a reason for that too, come on though, animation wise, mine wasn't a tinsy bit better? Haha, a plot? bah!

[Blob Wars]

well...

it wasn't bad at all.. But I do have some remarks.
First of all: your movements were too slow. They should be more fluently. Also, because it was so slow, the action didn't get the "suspense" it actually deserved, so that was kinda a bummer.
What you could also do, but that's my opinion, is to use finer lines when drawing => that gives a more 'realistic' feeling for the caracters, and combined with "fluent motion" you'll have a kick-ass movie...

About the graphics I have nothing to say. They looked good, and holding in mind that this is your first cartoon, they were good enough I'd say! ;o)

The sound wern't that bad either, so no comment on that either..

But then the script...
As I said, everything happend too slow, and also: too few things happened. You should have introduced more characters, so you'd have more things to kill, and more amusement for us, the viewers...

Finally I only have a few details to say: "the text 'nooooow' that one flob said, was actually really unclear. I could hardly read what was written there... And also, the "replay-button" wasn't clear at all.. But that's just because I dislike those "text-button"... I like those classic "push-buttons" more...

Conclusion: you've made a good movie for your first try!
Just keep the good stuff coming!!

Hawkie responds:

Thanks for your tips!
And thank you for your support!!!

[Too Many Marios 2 Preview]

well...

I just have one questiong:

Why did you take Schism as your main-song?? I really don't c any connection between the lyrics or even Tool, with Mario!!!
I really think this song was unappropriate!!!

but that's my opinion...

For the rest: good movie.
keep the good stuff coming!

Greetz

FredWhoSmells responds:

it was a preview and i thought that wud be okay for it coz i was going for the grudge match thing and kinda depressing thing too

[Bruce Lee 2 : C64]

good movie

I totally loved your menu-page!! Did you draw that yourself?? It was really great!!

and it seems that you really master the sprite-kinda-animation! I looked really cool!
The sounds were kinda dumb with times, but the rest made up for that!

So conclusion: you really did a great job with this movie!

Keep the good stuff coming!!

Greetz

RogerGargantua responds:

Hey Smos ! Yeah, I designed the menu page all by myself ! I think it's pretty sweet too. If ya like this movie, check out my others ( yes, they also have cool menu's aswell ). Thx for reviewing !

[Robotnik vs. Bowser]

Great!!!!

Man, I'm astonished!!!
This movie really deserves to be on the top 100 of all time!!
You really got everything in it, great graphics, good sound, great humor, great fight-scenes, and man: I really got nostalgic watching all those different things from different games!!!

You made excellent leaps from Nintendo's Mario, to SEGA's Sonic, or from Streetfighter right to the Power Rangers!!!!! :o) Man I loved that!!!

You really did a great job on this one!!!
You've got my respect!

Keep the good stuff coming!! :o)

STTWebs responds:

*sniff* I'm touched LOL, THNX FOR THAT BIG PIECE A CREDIT :D...well I never counted with that :D. And you even analysed it right! GREAT :D:D

[vandraren]

well...

This is kinda a hard movie to vote on. First of all: the graphics really sucked!!!
Normally you'd think now that I totally blammed the movie... But I didn't!!

The music was really great! I think it is the best sound-quality one can get out of flash, without making the filesize like 5Mb... and man, you only have a filesize of about 1.2Mb. With this kinda sound-quality of a full-lenght song!!!
Jeeeees, you really did a good job with that!!!
The song was also really great! Although I couldn't understand a word they were saying!!! What language is that anyway? Denish? Finnish?

Anyway,
conclusion: just make the graphics much better, and you'll have a "top 100" movie on your hands! :o)
