Rabid-Echidna's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Wish]

Touching

Time for me to ponder whether or not to put this on my favorites list. I'll go for.....yes.

Graphics wise, they were o.k. Nothing too spectacular, but good enough to make the message come through better. The point of this movie wouldn't have been conveyed if the graphics were horrible, since most people tend to lose interest when they see animation that doesn't live up to their standards. I'm not saying the graphics are bad at all, just not as brilliant as say....Bitey of Brackenwood, but this excells over it plot wise, so you get more points for that.

The sound was good enough. No voices, but that doesn't really matter, seeing as they probably would have cluttered it up. I always find that animations like this work well with nothing but music, so going without voices was a good choice. The only real problem was the blue text, which at times was difficult to read.

Now for the major part, and the reason you decided to make the animation. Style always falls before most of the other elements of a flash for me. You can have a flash with the best animation I've ever seen, but if the story is pathetic, the watcher is probably going to lose inerest. The inspirational story of a crippled child at his first day of school, being picked on by the prats that sit behind him, but finds someone kind enough to see through his disability. This leads to him wishing that he could walk, and through the wonders of a dream, is able to walk again, then winds the gold medal.

You get a 5, and a well earned daily feature award. Continue making flash, as you're one of the few authors that actually brings something worthwile to Newgrounds.

oh thankyou, glad you added to your favorates and make sure you enjoy the whole site of NG not just this.

[Madness Apotheosis]

Well then...

I guess he's actually dead now, having blow himself up completely. That is unless he decides to return in another cartoon with half his body made entirely out of bandages. Apparently this is the ned. No more Madness, which causes me to become unhappy and throw things.

Graphics in this one were better than your others. It's good that you decided to actually make the zombies look like zombies in this one, instead of just making the heads glow green. I didn't even think of them as zombies before. Everything moved fluently, everything was well drawn, and once again, the movie is better than all of your tributes combined.

The sound was simple enough. The sound effects were always on cue, and the music was good enough to set the mood. It wouldn't really feel as good if the shots were off cue.

Once again, you made another brilliant flash, that's eventually going to end up on the front page once it passes judgment, and earn all sorts of awards. And it deserves it.

5/5

[Psycho Bunny]

Brilliant

A true flash masterpiece. One of the few animations that is actually going to stay in my favorites. Most of the others I just add there, then remove later, but this one is staying.

The graphics are easily some of the best I've ever seen. The drawings of the rabbit crunched up in the fetal position was great. The demons were drawn greatly. The animation was fluent. Overall, it's one of the ones that I would have to think hard to remember a flash with better graphics.

The sound was great. The song you chose added the perfect mood you were hoping to achieve, and it was imported well into the flash so it didn't sound muffled or low quality. I'm thinking that there should have been some more sound effects, but that proably would have gotten in the way of the song, with all the lashing and stabbing and whatnot. I'm glad you left the SFX out.

I've always had a thing for flashes that have some sort of artistic theme that makes you actually think about the true meaning of the flash. This one could be interpreted in many different ways, which just makes it even better.

Yesterday I voted five on this, today I voted five on this, and I will do so again tomorrow. It's a bloody brilliant flash, and that's my final statement.

["Waterman" Ep. V]

Still good, just not AS good.

Graphics wise, it still doesn't get much better than this. Everything moves fluently, everything is well drawn, it has a good frame rate, and my computer is unable to handle it on high quality. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't the main focus of your movies, otherwise you would be getting a 9 or a 10 overall.

The main focus of your Waterman is humor, and I'm sad to say that you've been slipping a bit on it. The first one you made was brilliant. The second one wasn't as good as the first one, but still good. Then you sort of lost it after that. I didn't laugh much, but you regained most of it in this one. The Oregon Trail reference and the time portal parts were the only bits I actually found funny in this one. Still funny enough to maintain your reputation, but it fails to live up to your first one.

The sound is fairly good. It sounds a bit sputtery at the beginning, but you stop noticing as it goes on. I don't know if it's just a poorly made microphone, but it just needs a slight improvement.

Violence wise, you decided to throw in pirates fighting ninjas, which is never a bad thing in my book. I swear I've seen that pirate somewhere else before, but I can't remember where.

Overall, still godd and frontpage worthy. I voted 5, but I hope that you'll cut out some of the unrfunny crap in the next one.

[HOT PISS!1]

Ctiger you bastard

Making movies about hot piss behind my back.

[Banana Phone 2]

Oh god yes!

Turd of the week.

TURD OF THE WEEK?

This is art in its most incomprehensible form. I guess all of you giving it 0's just don't appreciate this sort of art. You all think you're so great with your Leonardo Divinci, but this flash is exponentially greater than all his works combined. You just don't understand it, so let me explain it for you.

Notice that each character has a black square around them. No, this is not due to he animator being lazy, it's an in-depth description of his inner soul. The simple dialogue of "sup, dude?" represents all that is good in the world, where as the antagonist says "Wazzaaaaaaa." Which represents an opposite force.

These two forces balance eachother out, causing a stream of bloody ferret pigs to fly out of the guy sitting on the couch. in other words, when all is balanced, there is nothing but chaos and blood everywhere. These ferret pigs are neither good or bad, but merely neutral. They are the devices which god himself developed to keep the order, and once all is neither good or bad, they emerge from the heads of random people laying on a couch, and continue their holy crusade.

Turd of the week? You people sicken me. lolomgwtfvote5.

[Never B Your Woman]

It's an extravaganza!

OMG IT HAS CLOKCS IN IT LOL VOTE 0!

I hate you all.

Good flash. You can never go wrong with a collaboration of already good animators. Yes, they're clocks. Yes, I know you hate clocks becuase everybody else does, and you're going to jump on the bandwagon and give this a 0. There are clocks that are good animators, and they don't deserve getting a 0 on their work.

I always find it hard to give a score on movies that are a compilation of shorts from different animators, but I'll say that the graphics were good. Hatterclock even got greedy and put in 2 animations. Each one had its own style of animation, and they were all brilliant.

Good choice of song. I've usually found that most music videos that are submitted are based around some whiney bitchy punk band like Good Charolette, but I actually liked the song in this one, and I'm going to go buy the CD. And by "buy the CD," I mean I'm going to download it off the internet.

Anyways, it's 5 worthy. I don't care how much all you little prats hate clocks for no reason, it doesn't deserve a 0. It has good animation, good sound, and lots of talented artists. Vote 5 dammit.

[FF: Warfare 7]

gaspness

You make flash movies?

/me learns something

Anyways, good flash. There are surely going to be a number of imbeciles that insist that making sprite movies takes little to no efforet, despite that they have never even tried to make any sort of movie themselves. People don't realize the amount of effort that it takes to create something as long as this movie, let alone make it high quality.

The graphics were superb, although at times my computer wasn't able to handle them without immense slowdown (fading in and out) and the custom made sprites looked good. Good use of blending together different characters from the Final Fantasies and making sprites of FF7 characters (sephiroth and Aeris)

The sound was great. The music was well incorporated into the movie, with the battle music every time the characters were dueling (for whatever reason, I'm sure the plot will reveal a bit more in the later installment) and the sound effects were always on cue whenever somebody got attacked.

Front page worthy indeed. Not many sprite movies are as well made as this. I just need to figure out what the hell is supposed to be happening. All it seems to be is a bunch of characters killing eachother for no apparent reason other than to win the tournament. I'll just have to wait for the next one.

4.5/5

HAcoreRD responds:

Finally! This is some1 who obviously has intelligence! Sprites still are work and this was HARD. And yes, those who say it takes no effort are level 1s with no profile. Am I shocked? Nah. Rabid, I give you credit you sooo smart :) thx for watching
