Bobbybroccoli's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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:)

[Idiot monster]

I'm going to call you a good flash artist.

Nice flash, I was suprised by this one, which is always a great component of story telling.

Animation: Semi-detailed, not choppy at all, overall in the decent to good range. It works for the story and it wasn't unsuited for the humour.

Sound/voice: Good voice acting. I would say it's above average. The sound choice was good. not much to say in this area.

Story: Decently humorous, and creative premise. Nice twist at the end with the guy's head talking.

Verdict: Nice work, overall a good little flash, and nothing really annoying or bad about it. Keep up with this style.

[BPTV - Pilot]

Looking forward to your upcoming work.

You made a fun little flash, and now you've got me attached to your characters.

Animation: Limited, but full of personality! I really want to live in that world, because it's so lively and cute. It made the funny parts even funnier because of his expressions, especially the "I have a job!" part.

Voicing/music: The voice acting was not ideal, but it was decent enough to convey your story fine. The music choices were suited and funny. Try to improve on your voice acting and it will make a really huge difference.

Story: As a cartoonist myself, I know how to make characters that the audience will associate with. There is the lovable main character who's intelligence is lacking, they are evil in a cute way, and create alot of the humour. There is always the friend of the main character who is the strict boring one, but together they make some great comedy. Well done in that department.

I'm interested in how you'll make this series progress. Keep at it and you'll get better.

[SS - Human History 4]

The education system could learn a lot from you.

I like learning facts. I like it when an intricate web of links finally comes together and makes sense. what you have provided here is a combination of those tow factors.

Animation: First rate stuff. Though not perfect, I liked your choice of cute/adult like characters were interesting listen to, and it provided a much easier to understand than to just listen to a disembodied voice.

Voice acting: Your voice is so much less annoying than a lot of my teachers. It was enthusiastic, it was intelligent, and it made me keep watching.

Story: Holy crap this was amazingly interesting! Even for a theory, this concept of evolving twice is like reading a book, but you even made it seem plausible. I was especially interested in the "stair step evolution" and the five stages of evolution.

Overall: I really thought that the combination of nice visuals, great voicing, and a really intruiging subject matter makes this one of the most interesting flashes I've seen this year.

I eagerly await your next installement.

[The World is Saved]

You've made me proud to be a gamer.

I can't describe how great this song makes me feel.

Visuals: Though not animated, they helped the overall storytelling of the song. They were pixellated, and it was much better that way. The pictures felt like a videogame, and made it muc more enjoyable.

Music: It starts off slow, and builds itself up to the climax where you start to chant "The world is saved!". The lyrics were well chosen, they were suited to the rhythm of the song, and they told the story accurately and thoughtfully. The singing was great, and provided emotion to the flash. The instumental parts were like the spicing of it all, not needed, but tasty.

Story: you told the cliche of a videogame where everything is finished, and was very well done. You've expressed the story of any gamer. Fear of nothing left to do.

Overall: Great job, keep making music videos and you'll do great on here.

[B]

Unlike wine, it is not better with age.

Before you go marking this review useless, let me assure you that I understand the significance of this flash, and I am here to review the content, not the legacy.

First off, nice choice of letter. It is much better than M, Q, R, H, and even D and C, but it could have been better. You could have put in a little extra effort, and gone with A, but for this flash, it worked.

Your presentation is a bit lacking. First of all, why the red font on a white background? This isn't Santa's workshop for Pete's sake! A black letter against a white background provides more contrast, and makes it easier to read.

Another serious gripe is the lack of centering of the main component of the flash. It gets the job done, but it just comes off as lazy and sloppy. Put a tad more effort into it next time.

Some may say that simplicity is a virtue, but this flash certainly could have used some extra complexity. It would have been better to underline, or even bold the B, heck, it w ould have been better even if it was in Italics!

The animation could have been smoother. Bumping up the one frame to two frames of animation would have made this looping animation more life like.

Overall I can not say I enjoyed this. It felt as if you put no effort into it.

0 for content, 1 for starting a revolution.

[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.

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. =]

[Snarlie Brown]

EvilDave strikes agan, but with a lessened impact.

The most dedicated NG users will obviously remember this movie form the earlier days of NG. Still, its legacy *cough* lives on *cough*.

Back in the day when the internet was still a new thing, comedy as we know it today was still sticking to its safe non-offensive ways. Remember that at once point even the Simpsons was considered outrageous for its time.

This flash would have been completely insulting, disgusting, and offensive, and would have made an incredible impact on the evolution of what defines humour.

Nowadays this type of violent humour is the norm. Rape and violence are in every second flash these days, and the majority of what made this flash such a hit is now non-existant.

After 12 years, we expected more than a simply addition of "Parody-fair use!" in the upper right hand corner. The animation is atrocious by todays standards, and the music is tediously repetitive. Voice acting could have made this flash pretty funny, but yet you still kept the pace-breaking speech bubbles.

The humour is non-existant in this flash. Just because it was a landmark flash doesn't mean sheer brutality is funny. Modern flashes mix in witty insults into their violence, and the occasional ironic joke helps.

This flash is both un-representative and representative of Newgrounds. Everytihng by everything describes this flash perfectly. But when the majority of users strive to improve their flash, even if it is a re-make, this 12-year wait is a major disappointment.

1 star for legacy. 1 star for content.

[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.
