ChromeShark's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghost Recon Style Short]

Good while it lasted

I liked the graphics a lot, you had the character movement spot on. It was all pretty well done, just didn't last long enough. I was hoping for a long action sequence after he shot the guy. But as a first submission it shows potential, nice work.

Speechless

This puts some of the most highly creditted Newgrounds animators to shame. The music was so perfect, and the synchronization with it was genious. I can't even begin to think how you do something like this, it'd take me months to animate a minutes worth of something half as good. Definitely the best graphics to ever hit Newgrounds, with just a bit more of a plot it'd be the best submission hands down.

[Come Out and Play_]

Nice

Only got a second but I thought I should leave a review seeing as you used The Offspring. Great synch with the music, pretty funny in parts too.

I only mark this down 1 cause I preferred the 'No Brakes' movie someone did a while back. That one slayed me.

Nice work though.

5/5

[FOAMY: Tech-Support III :]

Same old

Th plus side:

Some bits were funny. It had some decent jokes unlike a few of your recent ones, and it looked good.

The down side:

Exact same graphics as Tech Support 2, hence the 0. Little effort actually went into this, just a bit of lip-synching and script writing.

I'm still waiting for a movie that fills up the huge hole in your reputation your recent stuff has made. This just makes the hole bigger.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Unexpected

When I first loaded this up, I thought it must be April Fools day. Numagrounds didn't fool anyone last year, so Toms new idea was to rig a substandard submission to get Number 1 submission of all time.

But no, its not April Fools day, this has seemingly been genuinely voted no.1. How?? I've seen graphics like this in submissions that have been blammed. No they're not terrible, they're just standard. But nothing compared to movies such as Littlefoot or There She Is, by genious artists who spend hours on every few seconds of animation.

I can't knock the humour here, it's as witty as any movie. But a lot of it only really makes sense to a Metal Gear fan. I've played the games so I get it, but a lot of people won't.

It's a good submission, worthy of a respectable 7/10. But in that no.1 spot its setting a bad example to Newgrounds, I hope it doesn't stay there long. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Great movie

Dammit, just beat me to daily 3rd!

But I don't mind, cause this was awesome. Ok it was short, but you crammed a lot more humour and detail in than most long movies do in 5 minutes.

The graphics were easily a 10, they were stylish and clean all the way through. Music was great, voices could be a bit clearer/louder, but otherwise perfect.

I thought it was hilarious, especially the ending! Too bad people outside of England won't get it (I think) cause it slayed me.

One thing though- what's up with the title? In the portal there's a space in between Fa and nboy. Looks kinda noobish, you should fix that if possible.

Well congrats on the daily 3rd, make something a bit longer and you can easily take the daily feature next time. Nice work.

Wonchop responds:

The portal listing just gets screwed up a lil.

[Bricks In the Wall- Pt 2]

As good as before

I gotta admit I didn't think it was a huge improvement on the last version, I'm surprised it's scored so much higher.

But the score is deserved, it's still a great video to a great song. You should do more Pink Floyd videos! 10/10.

Inganno responds:

im glad to see a person who saw the first one was here to see this :D

Very good

I recall being quite harsh on the original. Well this time round I'll give you a bit more kudos.

Firstly- the technique is still quite simple, and I think a lot of people are more impressed by this more than perhaps they should be. I understand that the rotoscoping took hours and hours, but it's still quite a simple task that could be done by someone fairly unskilled in Flash.

But this one (more than the original) had some added effects which I can credit you highly for. Lightning, bouncing ball, spinning pole, motion blur- a few that spring to mind. They helped the overall effect a lot.

The main reason for credit here is the syncronization. Sound undoubtably deserved a 10, not only because it fits so well but also for the way it forms a kind of beat. Very impressive. and I also liked how the small pictures formed part of a larger picture, working with each other well.

This is very good, far from the best stuff you do, and maybe not fully deserved of the high rating, but very good all the same. Well done.

[One Hammer.]

Funny

Simplistic and repetitive, but it was funny with a good choice of music. I especially liked the ending. Try something more ambitious and you good do well! 7/10 for this, but I voted 5 cause I don't want this blammed. Well done.

[Guerrilla of Christmas]

wow

Front page. Daily Placing. This should get it all. And for a 1st submission?!? Nice work!
