R-A-B's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Depredation]

Somethings lacking

Once again, Hank's in Nevada. Once again theres Jesus a zombies and plenty of guns. And despite being ultimately cool, this still felt like an add-on rather than a sequel. Something is missing, whether it be bigger guns, or more elaborate set pieces (like on a moving train or something).
I'm not sure what exactly needs to be added, but the Madness needs to be taken to the next level I think, I just have no idea what that next level is....

Krinkels responds:

I feel the same way. And I know now what I must do. Give me time.

Stomp in flash

Great flash, very simple but expertly executed it is a great little video to go with stomp-esque music, in fact I wouldn't be suprised if its on of their pieces. Good work.

Dustball responds:

Nope, I made them sounds myself, and arranged them!

[(old vers)Dead Rain 5]

A 9 for effort alone

That must have taken a long long time, excellent graphics, smooth animation great fight scenes, sure the plot is fairly corny and the speech just doesn't seem to click, but the positives far outway the negatives.
Theres only one thing thats been bothering me, he pulls out the gun, fires and it and hits the atmospheric generator, what, by luck? Only can guess that you just got bored at the thought of doing more episodes on him getting to the bloody place, so to skip straight ahead seemed a little cheap, but more fun and an easier way to progress the story.
Oh yeah, very nice explosion, very akira.

SickDeathFiend responds:

That wasnt a gun, it was a signal device, that activates the auto-destruct on the atmosphere processor.All he had to do was aim it at the general direction, the device does the rest.

[Freak : Prelude (Ep. 1)]

Best graphics I've seen in a LONG time

Graphics are second to none, and your adaptation is quite superb.

However, for the love of god see if you can hunt down someone willing to do the voice for you, yours just doesn't suite the tough FBI agent I believe the character is supposed to be.

Also your fighting although superbly scripted is a little rugged, it doesn't quite flow nicely, like watching the old mortal Kombat game, movements plastered on top of each other sort of style, so if you can smooth that out it would be brilliant.

Evil-Dog responds:

We'll try believe me but addding frames in the character animations means bigger file size and as you can see we barely manage to respect the newgrounds maximum file size despite our great effort to reduce the file size with different strategies.
And we'll work on the voices in future production. Thanks for your comment.

The Epic

And they say the clock crew don't do anything good...
Well I'm gonna break this review up, cause the vid was huge and I want to acomment on it all.

On the speech, your views are so intelligent as to be suprising, I was expecting some sort of punchline or interruption, but it was very well thought out. I myself have very similar views (If a little less refined), like how past thoughts of gods came as easy explanations for the inexplicable. Just 2 things, "Time abhors a paradox" speech was pinched from soul reaver 2 wasn't it? Also, I don't agree with hope being the driving force, I believe its always been power. Other emotions get poured on top but when its boiled down the yearning for power drives humanity. Example, the curiosity of men in science is down to wanting knowledge, knowledge is power, we struggle to become less powerless against that we don't understand by understanding it, it may seem a stretch but it all fits.

Nice ending, rounds the movie off on a light-hearted note, and the credits was very nicely done. However they moved far to quickly, so I would advise you to slow things down next time.

As for you comment on being a "n00b" flash animator, I hearterly disagree, its your little touches that make you an obviously good animator, the TV ripples on the camera, the way the credits don't slide in, they "Bounce" in, the way the credit pictures come in in different pieces rather than a lazy whole slide.

Seriously nice work, hope you reply back, but hey, everyones got there own life.

Da-Dinictus responds:

Thanks, Horny. Yeah, you can safely say Amy Harring's work has inspired that quote. ^_^ But I still cling to the fact I'm too new to Flash, seeing I can't even put in that damn replay button. Flash is always a bitch about that, say even the most talented scripters over here.
Power, as a driving force, is, what I believe, driven by a need for more, a hope to attain that. So that is why I concluded that Hope drives us - along with our very emotions.
Glad you enjoyed "R", my friend. A good day to you.

[Yamashita Fuck You]

Ok

Its hard to do a decent prank call without looking like a twat, think you managed to pull it off.
Ahhh, I always prefered the quickfire calls "Hello, is that Mr.Gun? BANG! Your fired!"

gthtjtkt responds:

ok...

[Stickee Quickee no. 1]

Hum-drum

Nice fluid animating of the stick, but on the whole its so god damn boring......

cBAdvanced-123456789 responds:

yes is it boring! i admit it! but i was bored so i made this ok?

[Strawberryclock / Friends]

Hmmmmmm

The clock crew wars are gone, leave them be. Anyway, that fake movie inside was better, cause it was so blatently crap & cheeky, whereas yours is insulting and TRYING to be good.

vdibv responds:

You think I'm trying to be good? That movie was made a long time ago, you're a little off when you say I'm trying to be good. You should look at some of my recent work.
