FlashN00bie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fight Club Ep. 1]

Pretty good for a first outing.

Seems like a good story to start with. Nice job. I'd suggest doing a little work in Photoshop or something for things like explosions (gigantic red circles don't necessarily imply a big boom) or, if photoshopping your own graphics is a little too time-consuming, do a Google Image search. You might find something you can use. Also - reduce the bitrate on your background music - it's great music, but it's probably 3/4 of your file size. If your stories get much longer than they are you're going to approach the 5 MB limit with things like that. Keep up the good work, looking forward to episode 2!

thank you

[McCain's Sexy Outrage]

Weeeeeee!

OMFG TIHS MOIEV IS TEH R0X0RZ . . . oh wait.

Seriously, it's good to see someone picking up the animutation banner again. I'd be interested to know what the music you chose was called, though, it's not listed.

[Der Führer's Face]

Highly inflammatory topic, but...

Compositionally, the thing's pretty solid. Good graphics, sound wasn't taking up 3 megabytes of space. Well-constructed, except for the end - I would have put something else there - you leave the "dancing Hitler" thing there waaaaay too long and the viewer becomes bored.

That said...

Your topic choice leaves a *lot* to be desired. Comparing Bush to Hitler is like comparing a CD to a box of chocolate.

Bush has not committed NEARLY the number nor kind of atrocities that Hitler purposely inflicted on the Jews or the Germans. I know of many "liberals" that would be at least irked by your portrayal of the president as Hitler, and many more that would be frothing at the mouth over it. You may dislike his policies, you may dislike him, you may even dislike the war - but he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Hell, even AL GORE came out in support of how Bush has handled this situation. What would you rather we have done? Let Iraq sit there and stew, along with other hotbeds of anti-American sentiment until ANOTHER 9/11 happens? I, for one, do not relish that thought.

Oh, and plastering an altered swastika on top of the silouhette of the United States AND OUR FLAG is a REAL good way to earn friends.

You received a 2 in the voting - purely on technical merit. Had you not put this together as well as you have, it would have earned a 0.

Good day - and I suggest you do a little more research on the Hitler regime before you go comparing presidents to dictators.

[5) About a bully]

Quite good.

Wish it was a tad longer, maybe giving a little more background, but very well done. Nice job.

oh no.. backgrounds... *eep* i hate my bad on-computer artistic talent. so i hardly draw backgrounds.. thats why in some of my movies i just take .gif's from other sites

[The Sniper Trailer]

Outstanding.

Leaves me wanting more! Great soundtrack, animation looks great - looking forward to the real thing!

[Warp To World 6-9]

Decent graphics, but...

Your choice of background music is what killed it in my opinion. That's why you got a 2/5 in the voting and the scores you see above. I couldn't even watch the thing all the way through. You've got talent in the graphics department, but choose better subject matter next time.

[STS-107 Bound for Heaven]

Great tribute with a few technical flaws

I agree - this is an excellent tribute to those who lost their lives this morning - although there was one thing I would have done differently - drop the bitrate on the tune you used for the background music. It sucks to sit and wait 5 minutes because you're stuck behind a crappy connection. This movie's filesize probably could have been cut in half.

All that aside, the movie has a wonderful heart to it. Good work.

[Not Another MK Spoof.]

That kicked ass!

I was laughing so hard I nearly fell out of my chair watching it! I love the "neither wins" ending too! Outstanding work!

[Qi]

Wow...

I have *never* seen animation of this kind of quality. Incredible. Absolutely incredible job. Great soundtrack, excellent animation/artwork - couldn't have asked for a better submission. Anyone who votes less than 5 on this needs their head examined.

[Fonics]

Pretty good.

Good effort, keep it up. Premise is a bit weak though. Good animation/sound. Funny.
