automatic's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[COG: I, Commode]

I don't know exactly why...

...but I found this to be quite funny. Somehow, you took a bad idea and executed it in such a way as to make something good. I'm very confused.

The artwork was a little off in some parts (the toilets were climbing... what? colored rectangles?) but the character design was decent. The voices were done pretty well, and synched nicely. The dog punchline at the end could have been made funnier by fixing some timing issues (it took too long for the guy to get to the explanation. Make this joke funnier by shortening it.)

Overall, a good effort and a pretty funny flash.

Aces!

ChroniclesOFGlendale responds:

We thought that when you see the dog with no head it would trigger in your head that it got its head bit off. It's cool though. Thanks for the good review.

Not bad...

The artwork is a little rough around the edges. Your backgrounds, however, are pretty well done (with the focus blur and all), but could stand a bit more detail.

The voice acting was a little off, and some of the sound editing was pretty clumsy. The music cutting out when the bag(?) falls on the floor, and the "echo" in the graveyard both really bugged me. THe music choice was decent, but I'd recommend staying away from more popular, recognizeable music when scoring your stuff. People just hear a song and go "Oh, that's from (some movie)" and it distracts them from YOUR movie.

The plot was a little confusing. It was kind of hard to get behind the knight's quest when, well, you don't know what the hell it is. All we know is "he" changed "someone" into a fairy and "nameless knight" is going to save... something. As it is, it's just a series of meaningless fight sequences. Cool to watch, hard to care about.

Overall, it's not bad, but definitely not worthy of #1 of all time. Sure as hell isn't better than the Xombie series or Bitey of Brackenwood. Eh, whatever... there's no accounting for taste. Time and again I've seen people vote 5 for crappy stick figure movies, so I guess I'm not really surprised.

Not very funny, I'm afraid.

The best part was the FIRST time he mentioned f-ing bicycle mechanics. After that it was like, enough all ready.

The rest wasn't all that funny. If you were meaning to slander the Democratic party then you failed because this is just too ridiculous. As a comedy piece, it's just clumsy. I'm sure you could have made a better chop if you'd worked at it longer.

[Robotnik vs. Bowser]

What annoying crap!

I'm sorry, I have to be really honest with you:

Your movie is really bad. You drew maybe .05% of it, and even that .05% sucked balls (a little brown stick for a gun? Come on!). You chose the most annoying sounds you could find and repeated them over and over again, to the point of nausea.

The only reason sprite movies like this do well on Newgroudns is because there are a bunch of immature fanboys who go all gaga over retro-gaming. You're just cashing in on thier idiocy.

Don't get me wrong... I like playing Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic Spinball is one of my most favorite games of all time. I still play it to this day. That doesn't mean that I want to see a no-talent animator-wannabe tween ripped sprites around a Flash window in a lame attempt at making a "movie." Just because you like something doesn't mean you have to make fan art.

This is the Newgrounds equivalent of all that crappy text fan-fiction you see on the interent.

Anyway... learn to draw, and try making a real cartoon, instead of one where you just rip off someone else's art. Good luck.

[the real bush campaign 1]

Nice.

Overall really nice, but not as slick as some of your other stuff. Some of the audio could have been cut together better. You use that same sound loop in simething else... I've heard it before, I'm sure of it.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

P.S. - anyone who votes for Bush is a moron. *looks at 1_WTC_Lock*

[Courting]

A little poem for you...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your graphics were awesome
But your poem sucked major ass

[The Matrix Reinstall]

Too slow, Joe...

The pacing is really slow... too much time in between each person talking, and each character takes about a year to say his line. You don't have to cut out MB's by not lip-synching, you can do it by laying the audio at a faster pace.

The slowness ruins the comedy. Comedy needs good timing and a fast pace to work... so speed it up.

The art was good, except the backgrounds. You should have hand-drawn those as well, it would have looked a lot better.

And as for your question about the lip-synch... I would rather have good lip synching and higher file size. It doesn't matter to me, I have cable so it's all fast. Screw the 56k crowd... they should step up into the '90's and get themselves DSL or something.

[Chrono Trigger Legacy III]

WARNING: CHILDISH REVIEW AHEAD!

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!111 hahahaa lolmkiof

This movie is everything that's wrong with sprites. Nothing about it is original or funny. It's just like every other crappy sprite movie with the exception of SPRITE WARP (the only good sprite movie on NG.)

So, overall: very unoriginal, very boring, a gigantic waste of time. And poop. Try drawing your own artwork, champ.

[Love at first sight]

So...

... um, where did the handle go when she was sitting down? :)
