Glaiel-Gamer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Antipathy]

Best madness yet

Your work, unlike the work of some other popular artists from a few years ago, has NOT degraded over time.

Somehow you manage to add something new in each movie, and demonstrate an increased skill in animating. I LOVED the train scene, such good angles for a flash.

The ONLY issue was that you used such short music loops. But all the violence sounds made up for that.

[ShoBizNewsyNews #26]

Gah! I'm sick of you're overrated crap

seriously, you take images and video off the inter net, put it into a flash, and people eat it up! That's not talent, that's about as much talent as ebaum has.

Seriously, stop relying on your ill earned popularity to bring you success. Do something that actually takes effort.

["Turd of the Week"]

Heh neat

except the way people get TOTW is by simply swapping the below average but passing movie with a different SWF after it get's out of judgment

KKyuubi responds:

But still, TOTW's end up being horrible anyway!

[TooF Collab]

God bless the star syndicate

TooF parody day i'm guessing. It was great. Maby next time though, you could use some fart jokes or something.

[Super Duper Mario 2 VGDC]

Mediocre at best

It was like watching someone play the new supermario bros game, only with pixelated sprites instead of polygonal models like in the actual game. The animation job was poorly done too. Normally with sprites, you need to be really good at tweening to make something look good. And you normally do. There was only 1 part that looked good, the close up of the koopa. Vector drawn. It was nice. But the mechanics of mario moving didn't match the game quite right. Mario's jump heights would frequently change size and get larger even when he's not running (like the final jump before the flag), you'd need to run to get on that block. There seemed to be too much gravity in the movie too, he jumped and fell too fast. Plus, you had an 8-bit toad in the beginning which didnt fit the new game.

So apart from the poor animation, what about the rest of the movie? It had no story, it was like watching someone play the game. If i want to see this, I'd play the game. I have it right here next to me. The humor in it, a fart joke. A fart joke. Fart jokes are not that clever. It could have used a little more cleverly written humor rather than a quick and unsatisfying fart joke.

But you did show what you can draw yourself in that short half-second close up of a koopa. Good for you. A half second is not enough to raise your score though.

I think it'd be best if you made a movie that doesn't use sprites, you have the skills, you just need to use them.

I laughed so hard

great job.

[Billy's Big Day]

Effort, but overall just not good

Well, here it goes. The character designs seemed kind of rigid and almost too blocky... Maby it's just the style. Whenever i see a style like this it just screams beginner. Some people have managed to make a style like this work though, but overall i dont think it fit this production. It was almost inconsistent, billy's head was like huge but everyone else had smaller heads.

Plotwise, the story never really went anywhere. It just seemed long and dragged out and boring (more on that down below).

Soundwise, billy's voice didnt match his character. So many voices could have fit him, but the one you chose just didnt. He could have sounded crazy, overly excited, low deep and stupid, or other. But the normal person voice just made him seem... bland. Many of the characters were just bland like by the voices.

The humor now is the big part. Some of the jokes could have been funny, like the LOTR one or answering the door ringing, but the thing is, you just dragged them on tooo much and spaced out the jokes too much. A movie in this style shoould be like Bam Bam Bam joke after joke after joke. The viewer shouldnt be able to predict the punchline before it happens. I couls see the LOTR punchline from almost the beginning. If you just sped up that part, it would have been much better. Jokes like this this work better quicker, because when you take a while to set them up i'm expecting either an intelligent punchline or a really really stupid punchline. Your humor was inbetween random + stupid and intelligent, and that just makes it all kinda bland.

Overall it was just too slow and not funny ish. Just speed it up next time and it will be 10x better.

[The Possessed Mouse]

ah dont you hate that

that's 1 reason CODING PWNS ART

suckers! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[qho episode4-HELP]

...... great! .......

At first i thought there was going to be some type of lesson or moral cause of the tone of it, but i laughed so hard at the ending!

Graphics and sounds flowed together nicely

[-FREE WHISTLE POINTS-]

Um.... Try Harder

Ya, try harder dude. Me=never used flash, but try addING explosionszzz! AND make it MOre liek Halo!

PS:
Add a little more animation, maby some things going on in the background. It got boring after a while watcxhing the clock waddle back and forth. But it is so true.
