AlmightyHans's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[My New Grounds]

interesting

the animation itself wasn't amazing. but it was well choreographed, very well organized and clever ideas for the little graphics.

people keep mentioning what a great and original concept this is. but this just just exactly like those laptop commercials where people explain what they have on their laptops by making cool little graphics with only showing a steady shot of their hands. it definitely IS interesting but i thought that this movie was a little over rated.

as for the previous reviewer, this movie can't be "well edited" cause there is no editing, it's a single steady shot.

Now, I'm not saying this movie is bad in any way, I'm just saying that it's a bit over rated. but then again, things on Newgrounds get completely over rated all the friggen time. (for example my Awesome's Creed)

but yeah i guess the real genius part about you movie is applying that thing from the commercials to a newgrounds user.

:)

[Webcamoose!]

Yeah that's just so creative.

seriously, it's easy to get inspiration from somthing but not recreate it. you however have used the same technique as my animation invasion and made it your own new thing. This submission is so great and well done. and your style is just the perfect amount of simplicity.

good job alex

BritishMoose responds:

obviousely 10

ok, I'm not just going to say WOW AMAZING JUST PERFECT because it should be, comming from a disney linked animator, if this was bad that would be down-riight pathetic.

Alrighty, improvements. Before your movies, despite being beautifully well done, I read your authors comments and you said that future episodes will have more depth. After seeing this one i realised the change is awaiting.

At first i didn't know if your cartoons you were just using as practice and submitting to newgrounds because your previouse episodes are more like short fun action sequences. THOUGH i liked how you're reaching a conclusion here, i like that this episode actally was the aftermath of the previous, that surely gave it a tad more depth.

anyways, i don't need to congratdulate you on your work because millions more will do that for me, besides... you know you're awsome :P

[The Spirit of Halloween 2]

Pretty good.

I honestly like the technical step you took with this series. The characters seem to work better with the brush strokes you use. And the pacing in my taste has gotten better as well. My personal favorite scene was in the pitch black, while i was watching the animation ease thing actually came to mind before the characters mentioned it, the timing there was surprisingly good.

This movie actually makes me sad, not in a negative way towards you, but just a personal reason. See, a few years back when i was 14-15 I was drawing some comics about a vampire and his human friend, the relationship between them and even the drawing style slightly resembed the one you have in this series, and it was the only idea i ever concidered animating and submitting it to the NG halloween time. I honestly like halloween very much but haven't made any submissions becaus ei feel that i want to make a good one.

all in all i thought your submission was really good and if i were to be the judge i would definately place this at the top of what i've seen so far for NG halloween.

Thanks, man. A really well-thought out review.

[Awesome Video Games Ep16]

it wasn't funny but

The camera work, editing and lighting were just fucking great i really liked it.

FarFromSubtle responds:

Thanks dude!

[Mr. Peanut]

pretty good.

The whole thing was just pretty predictable. funny concept, just when the conclusion is known since the very begining, it seems longer than it actually is. Not a bad cartoon none the less.

[:the Composer:]

Amazingly well done.

And what is tradition to say to composers like you, "Encore!"

[Aladdin 3150]

hm...

definately very well animated, but not too interesting of an idea. especially using the disney version of the actual story. if you read the real "arabian nights" rather than try and make a MAD MAX out of a kid's movie, you probably would have gotten a much more interesting result. Your concept really has got potential. i mean seeing the middle east status right now and how biological warfare is becomming more of a reality, mixting a classic Arabian Tales and modernizing it, by giving them gas masks and all is cool, i just think you didnt choose the best way to approach the concept.

but in general, it wasnt bad, it's just a bit sad seeing how such a mature idea is degrated by the obviouse inspirational roots of disney and playstation games.
