Gravey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Yee Olde Weebl]

This is a good movie.

A decent entry to say the least. Your drawings were very good and the animation was excellent. I don't like the old film style though because there is no voice acting. It drives me nuts. But it was okay for this movie I guess. It was surprisingly funny. Normally parodies are just lame rip-offs that are poorly drawn and not humorous at all, but you have done the opposite here. This is a solid entry for sure. Good job. I would like to see more coming in the near future. Good luck with all your flash movies in the future.

Almost forgot, don't mention the fact that you have worked with Weble before, and then say "That makes me a slightly above the average Weeble fan." It sounds so conceited. It's okay to say you have worked with him, but leave the last part out. Just a thought.

BlueHippo responds:

ah, didnt try to sound conceited :( just trying to point out that i'm not some screaming 12 year old "omg teh weebl is teh lollerskates"

..........

Honest to God, I'm speechless. Normally I try to stick with the fundamentals in a review. And here they are. You animation was perfect for this type of movie, but I don't care for this style. The song was a good choice but it ended long before the movie did, making it a little awkward towards the end. But despite that you get an 8. Because this was beautiful. It actually hurts when I see a friend smoking because I know that they are just killing themselves. I have chosen not to smoke. It is hard to tell my friends they shouldn't smoke without them getting affended. But I think I have a way now. This was so wonderfully horrible. The message needs to get out to the younger people who still have a chance not to start and this is a good way to do it. Thanks a lot man. You really have made something special here. Thanks a lot.

TheScarecrowman responds:

Thank you. Thats one of the reasons I was compelled to make this, people like you. sometimes theres no way to get across to those who have their minds set. Like I said I hope this helps.

I feel like crying......

because I read all of these good reviews but it won't load up for me. :( Just a blank screen staring back at me. But I'll give you a high score cause everyone else did and I would rather give you the benefit of the doubt rather than drag it down because it wouldn't load. Well, I'm gonna review it as if it loaded. Even though it never did I'm gonna do a fake review just for kicks and giggles! :D This will be fun. First off your animation was cool. Everything flowed together very nicely. You have some very original work here and I like it a lot. The sound quality was very good and the song that played was just beautiful. I rather enjoyed this flash and would like to see many more coming in the future. WOW! I can give a nice and friendly review without even seeing the movie. I'm not mocking you (PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM!) I'm just trying to make the best out of the situation. Oh well, maybe one day it will load for me but until then, good luck in all your future flash movies. :D Your the only person I have given a 7/10 for making a totally blank screen! LOL! Congratualtions! But seriously good luck man!

BlackmarketKraig responds:

Haha! Are you for real? That was great!

I'm sorry it didn't load... that's weird... I even uploaded it to my site to test it out before submitting...

I hope that works!

[Lethal Sneezes]

Your on the right track.

This was decent because your drawings were good. You have enough artistic talent to make something like this work. Don't get me wrong, the idea was good. I liked the death by sneezes idea. Very funny. Especially the first one. :D And your animation was nicely done as well. Very smooth from beginning to end. The biggest problem was the voice acting. It was really bad. Have a girl do the girl voices instead of doing it yourself. That would help a lot. And get a few friends to do a few of the characters. That way there is some diversity in what we are hearing. The quality of the sound wan't bad. You just need to get some different voices for your different characters. This movie was a little humorous, so that helped out your score a little. Basically decent job on this. Good luck in your future flash movies.

faye-smith responds:

I agree about the voices *embarrassed look*

I'll change it at a later date! =D

[SFDH : Part One]

LOCK MOVIES ROCK!

I love the lock movies. They are always so good. This is no exception. Your story line was great. Saving David Hasselhoff was a great and very original idea. I also loved it when coffe said "I sold our children on Ebay!" That has to be the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. Then when they get ready to save Dave Dr. Pepper has to watch the Simpsons first. Great stuff man. You have a good sense of humor. Your animation was very good. Your sound quality was also excelent. And I loved it when you used the "Night Rider" theme music. OH, THE IRONY OF IT ALL! :D This was definitely the funniest submission I have seen in several weeks. Once again great job man. I wish you the best of luck with your future flash movies and I hope I don't have to wait to long for the next one! :)

Fabrcated-Lunacy responds:

Thanks dude. The second one is allready in development. Expect a fish sword fight, a car chase featuring a goat and a lock that likes to wear red swimsuits.

[My Job Sucks]

How?

How is it that when I gave you your scores you get a 0,3,6,0,0, and 3. But you get a 7 overall? It's because this was so stupidly ridiculous that I found myself wanting to dance. This was not good at all to be honest but I found myself tapping my toe to the beat and smiling at your silly dancing. I'm going to say that this was a decent entry because it is unique and different from everything else. Very original. You said you have a pile of this garbage at home. YAY! So send 'em in then! :D WOOT! I love the random ridiculous crap. In my opinion this is what the portal needs more of. Good job here and good luck with you rfuture flash movies. :)

sketch0587 responds:

A toast to random shit. I love it, the Portal loves it, and more of it will come.

[dark light trailer]

Unlike the guy before me......

I loved the music. In fact I would like to know who the band is and what the name of the song is. If you would be so kind to tell me. :D I thought that it wasn't the stereotypical music people play for this sort of movie, but thats what made it work. Because your animation isn't like everybody elses either. Very original work through your drawings and animation. Although it does seem that your animation has been influenced by Legendary Frog. But it's not the same. You know what I mean? Same yet unique. I loved the ninja's hair. Don't know why but that was a part that really stuck out to me. I am looking forward to this series. It looks interesting and fun. Good luck with this and your future projects. I'm gonna go check out your other submissions now. :P Good luck.

Xionico responds:

XDDDD, wow loooong review, thank u verrry much =D, well, i dont know about it, but its called butterfly and its form the arcade machine dance dance revolution, i can giv the song to u if u want, add me to ur msn if u hav, [e-mail]

[Zarbog]

Well then,

There are some major issues with this movie. The biggest is how your animation doesn't go with the background at all. It would work if the animations were not supposed to be funny(Which they weren't) or if the backgrounds were not as serious. You have this dark intro background of a guy sitting and it looked really good. Then some ridiculous robot comes on the scene that doesn't fit at all. Then at the end you have a ridiculous moral to a very inconsistent flash. The music and the backgrounds go well together but your animations just ruined the whole thing. Sorry, I don't want to be a jerk but this wasn't very good. It would be nice if you redid this and changed the story and got rid of the bad animations. Then resubmit it and see how it does. It was good until the robot came in. The art reminds me of brokensaints stuff. I just want to say good luck with the rest of your flash works in the future.

Gryph responds:

the animation doesn't fit with the background because they're cell shaded bitmap traces of reality whereas everything else was purely telling the story the way i wanted to tell it {and no the animation was not meant to be funny; this was a very serious altercation in which one intedimentsional teddy bear lost it's ability to re-visit this realm} - t'is a madness that drives us and a passion that consumes ... plus actually writing with a story in mind might help too :D , in closing: it isn't hard to follow a theme, but it is hard to forge order from chaos -- thanks for your honesty, maybe next time my mic will work :p
