goatseluva's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Daily2oon08292005]

Nice work guys

I always like to see the variety of styles these animations present. Even though the cartoons themselves are short they never fail to get their point across, and it helps you guys to refine your techniques. This is the sort of stuff that makes the newgrounds portal what it is. :D Good job! 5/5

I'd also like to take this opportunity to congratulate TomaO2 on brilliantly abusing the review system by posting a ton of unrelated statistics! :D

Nice work evilberry

I like your work. This was well-made, funny, original, and true. 5/5 from me. :)

thank you :)

[Backwoods: Hurry-Cane]

Backwoods the squirrel > Foamy the squirrel

That was a great parody of that dumb Foamy movie. :)

Graphics: A preloader, a still image, and some text at the end. I'd normally give something like this 1 or 0, but I liked your caricature of a southern squirrel. :)

Style: Good parody and nice script. The fact that it's mocking that Foamy movie earns you an easy 10. 10/10

Sound: I loved Backwoods' accent. :) 9/10

Violence: Some swearing but not much. 2/10

Interactivity: Play button. 3/10

Humor: It was pretty funny. :D 9/10

Overall: We need more movies like this in the portal. Maybe you could consider making Backwoods a regular character. It sure would beat Foamy. :D 10/10

[Foamy: Hurricane Special]

Poor quality cartoon with mixed messages

First thing that struck me about this cartoon is that you've taken the moral high ground, which is ironic as hell, seeing as you're the one who's sitting behind your own desk and grinning, while looking at your very own ratings bar. And there's no need whatsoever to try to make Foamy look courageous or something, cos he's only a character and there's no way he can possibly help. But enough about all that, on to the movie:

Graphics: A single frame. What more can be said? 0/10

Style: Foamy is a poor way to convey serious messages like this. In fact, so are flash cartoons. And why was there nothing like a link to a webpage that gave instructions on how to help? 0/10

Sound: Foamy's irritating voice reading a pseudo-holy and righteous script. It made me sick. 0/10

Violence: Thankfully there was no visible or audible harm. Apart from what Foamy's voice did to my eardrums. 5/10

Interactivity: Standard-issue play and replay buttons. 0/10

Humor: No funnies. Quite the opposite really. 0/10

Overall: Not a good movie by a long shot. It was obviously very simple to make and as a result it looks terrible. And in my opinion, you shot yourself in the foot with your attempt to make Foamy look like a good guy. Go back to the tweens, at least they weren't this terrible. 0/10

P.S. And didn't you realise that without the press, there can be no aid from long distances?

Great parody of Bedn and the Fulps.

[Super Mario Land II]

Lol nice work

I preferred the jokes in the first one but this was good too. 5/5 Keep making 'em pls :D

[Super Mario Land I]

Awesome work

That was very nicely done and you fully deserve the award. :)

Graphics: The first thing I noticed was how nicely you manipulated the sprites. I was really impressed by the parallax scroll effect you implemented when Mario was running along, and generally the graphics were sharp and fluid. 10/10

Style: The script and layout of the scenes were effective. Coupled with the great graphics, this made a rather cool movie. :) 10/10

Sound: I lol'd when the goomba spoke like tweety bird when he got crushed, and the voice acting and effects were well-timed and used. :D 9/10

Violence: Mario chucks around some enemies as per a Super Mario game, the falls into acid and gets crunched... somewhere unpleasant. ;-) 3/10

Interactivity: Play button. 3/10

Humor: It was overall pretty fresh and funny, though some of the humor was a tiny bit stale at times. Some more off-the-wall gags would be perfect. 8/10

Overall: Good movie, I hope to see more from you. :) 9/10

Well I guess I can't let a review with this much effort go without an author's comment :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, and thanks a lot for the inspiring comment. BTW the 2nd episode is already out, plus I'm working on the 3rd one. Thanks again!

[Run DNA]

Oh wow

A glorious culmination of artistic flair and determined technique. Waht more can I say? 5'ed

[Come Sail Away....]

Secksay work guys

Really awesome collab guys, you are true artists :D

Nightraider: Nice sprite pic of foamy (though it didn't look completely like him), funny sound effect, and the ending was a surprise. :) 8.5/10

Unwellpuss: Nice use of random internet pics and good sound effects and drawings. Shame about Foamy's mouth movements though. :( 9/10

Uglybastard: I recognised this from the ecelebrity collab :D It's funny as hell and knox's mouth movements are great, though poorly synched (they were perfectly synched in the eceleb collab though). The ending is classic :) 9.5/10

Ctiger: That was possibly the craziest piece here (and that's no small statement :D). The manipulation of the music was good, and the ending was a nice Monty python homage. Nice work! 9/10

Cannibus_clock: :/ I wish you had tried a lil' harder on this one, you could have boosted this collab's score way past 3.5 easily. What we have here is a pink haired nazi with heroin, baaaaad mouth movements, and a disappointing punchline. :( It was good, but it didn't make me laugh my butt off like the other stuff. 7.5/10

All in all this was a great collab guys, just like all the other ucfd work. I wish Cannibus had done better though, he has the skill. 9/10

[Sesame Street: Bots]

Hilarious

If this passes judgement it's going on my favorites list
