Bobbybroccoli's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Smash Bros Christmas]

Decent work, though some complaints.

Animation: A bit choppy. The drawings were a bit untidy, but not messy. I could clearly tell what was going on. The colours were nice, nothing special.

Audio: The music was decent, would have preferred a little more variety. The voices were quiet, and a bit emotionless, try working on giving your characters a more confident voice.

Concept: A nice series of skits, soem pretty funny references (the Samus one was clever) and you handle a parody pretty well.

Overall: Work on the aesthetics a bit, and you'll do great stuff.

RickAlabama responds:

Thanks for the input! I agree with you on the points and have been working on improving them; this is one big learning experience and it's awesome to be able to get constructive criticism from work that I've done. Thanks :)

[The Knights of Twistalia]

In short, I really liked it.

From your author comments, you made your movei sound not all that great. Thank goodness you're overly modest.

Animation: Very smooth. When I first saw your loading screen, I was reminded of many other flashes that have bubbly cartoony characters, and I assumed you'd have limited animation. I was pleasently surprised when I saw how clean and transitional the animation was. The fight scene was very well paced, and the expressions on the characters were cute.

Sound: You're voice acting was great. Stop being modest. I especially liked the serious message conveyed by your characters, and how contrasting your dialog was. It seemed like you were going for a badass yet childishly eager feeling, which somehow worked, and I really enjoyed it. Nice choice of sound effects and music, each were suited for their respective scenes.

Concept: I really wished you had made this a little bit longer. I liked the idea of two heroes goofing around while beating the crap out of people, but I felt like the wizard died too early (yes, I realize that's the joke) and I thought you could have made a castle infiltration scene, where they try to be stealthy, but blow their cover and then transition to the fight scene,

Overall: A great little movie, I like your style and I hope you make more movies for this story.

Twisted4000 responds:

Thank you very much, but the reason I was being so modest was because my previous videos got very negative feedback in areas like the voice-acting, so I thought everyone was gonna hate it. I'm very, very glad you liked it!

[Cliff Shenanigans]

Well done, just not "epic'.

Animation: Clean, smooth, I could tell waht was going on. The animation shocased a decent amount of personality, I really liked his expression when he realized he was still falling while holding the branch.

Sound: The entire flash felt like it was missing a little bit if extra sound, but what sound was there was functional and clean, especially the scream.

Concept: not really fair to judge, considering this is for a contest, but the twist at the end was clever, and well executed.

Overall: I liked it, but it could have used some polish. Good work.

fluffkomix responds:

pretty good review, i appreciate it.

Yeah my main problem was i was on a strict timeline so i didn't have much time to get sounds together and work on backgrounds and such.

[Antlers]

You've made me feel a wide range of emotions.

And I like that.

This is the kind of flash that I love stumbling upon. Though without any real sotry or purpose, this flash invokes emtions from me that I can't explain.

Animation: Since you used a mix of "clay-mation" and regular animation, the flash felt like it was divided into sections. The clay sections made me feel especially emotional, like I were watching Forest Gump again. The regular animation was smooth and suited for this flash's tone.

Music: It fit the mood well. Again, it added a lot of emotion to an otherwise random little flash.

Stroy: No real story to tell here, but along the way I felt the characters long journey, I felt his descent into the unknown, and most of all, I felt for him.

Great execution. I am excited for your upcoming projects.

P.S. I'm re-submitting this review because of Canas the mod being hacked.

Foxcato responds:

Thank you for this very in-depth review again:)

[Boomerang vs Mr.kickman]

I generally find stick fights overly repetitive.

But I was pleasently suprised by this one.

Though I was slightly confused by your introduction, things really picked up when he fell down the sewer. Frankly the introduction was not essential, but it was animated well and it was nice enough looking.

The music: It was suited for this type of flash and did its job of creating a tense atmosphere well enough.

Animation: Really fluid. A lot of people make jaggy stick fights that aren't smooth enough to capture that "awesome" factor. obviously you did capture that factor, and the fight was nice and badass.

The ending was fine, either way we knew someone was going to die (like I'd spoil it in a review).

I associated personalities with each character through your expressive animation, and I got abit attached to them throughout the flash.

A bit of added length to the flash might make it better.

Keep up the good work.

Psyder92 responds:

Thanks a lot for this review :D

[Divided by Zero]

Make more movie trailers. Please.

First of all, the fact that you did this for TOFA, is just amazing. The amount of time you were given for this was seemingly not long enough to produce anything as good as this.

The theme for TOFA round three "dividing by zero" seemed so hard to interprete in a flash, yet you made a trailer that makes me want to go see an actual movie.

Music: Very fitting. I can't say much more other than it helped the atmosphere of the trailer greatly.

Voice acting: You could replace the guy who does movie trailers. Your voice was nice an subdued for the action, and when the numbers were talking, their various plights were easier to imagine.

Without your voice acting this flash would have been a comedy, instead of an action/comedy.

Animation: Not AAA material, but since it is TOFA after all, it is understandable. It got the message across, and still retained its sense of seriousness, even though all the characters were just giant numbers.

My favourite line has got to be "release the primes!". That line had me (for once) laughing out loud.

Conclusion: Great flash. I think you should make more action flashes, because you show real talent in that area.

P.S If you made this into an episodic series, I'd be ecstatic.

Lazymodecomics responds:

I'm making a weekly series after I'm all done with TOFA. Check my news postings for more info. Thanks for the thorough review. =]

[Stop, drop and roll]

Quite a good job might I say.

Your animation skills have potential to evolve into something really special. With a longer flash you could've showcased them a bit more, what you had here though was clean and functional.

Your style reminds me of EddsWorld, which is a good thing. The voice acting and animation have this messy quality that gets the point across, yet isn't really what you'd call a top notch flash.

The music suited the flash. Nothing much to say there.

The humour was cruel, and the fact that the man kept laughing maniacly both made me laugh and feel a bit scared.

I really like your animation skills. Try making a longer flash next time. Branch out with a story, and some more jokes. Or, something you might do a great job at, is making a non sequiter style flash, where you jump from scene to scene, exchanging the characters for new one's but delievering jokes at a non-stop pace. Overall good job.

Alexadventures responds:

I'll keep that in mind!
Glad you liked it.

[LAWYER UP!]

Good video.

Good animation, decent voices, good plot.
And a gross yet predictable ending.
I still liked it though.

DestructoBox responds:

We like that you like it

[The Bag]

Good.

Fitting music, good story, decent animation.
All good stuff. Just why bags?
Anyway, good job.

Brewster responds:

I actually don't know why I use bags now that i think of it. Thanks.

[EVIL Co. Muffins]

Good.

Though why does he buy muffins if he can make his own?
Anyway, anumation isn't too terrible and the sound quality is better than average so I'll give you points for that. Keep up the good work.

Kooma responds:

It's not whether or not he can make the muffins, it's that this store had the audacity not to have his muffin for him and then call them gross. Also, these were bombs disguised as muffins, not real muffins. Also it took him the better part of the day to have R&D get those ready. But yeah that's kind of a plot hole.

THanks for the feedback.
