WorldOutkast's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bag a hot girl at a bar]

Well, I've gotta say, I wasn't expecting that. I had to refrain from giving you straight fives due to laughing so hard. But my objectivity... must.... be.... maintained!

Alright.

Well, the animation was good, the tweens of the nerd character could probably have been a bit more fluid, but otherwise it was all good. The art style isn't my personal cup of tea, but it works.

My main gripe with this is the lack of sound and music. Perhaps some intermission-style music during the 'What not to do' and 'How hot chicks like it' text parts would've been good, some bar sound effects and dance music during the actual animation, etc.

As it stands though, protected for great justice!

raremasta responds:

You're right, I am missing many sounds, and i think the bar background music wasn't best or high enough haha. thanks for the tips dude :D

[Transitions Episode 1]

Been looking forward to this since the trailer!

This is one of the best flashes I've seen lately. I thought the trailer was excellent, so naturally I was looking forward to the full movie. I wasn't disappointed with any aspect of this movie, except maybe length, but we can't have everything...

Graphics: I love this style. A few little thinks stood out to me, like the use of anime-styled people in some parts of this, such as the Twi'lek hooker scene. The effects were well done, and I loved the smoothnes of the animation. Be very proud of yourself.

Style: You get extra points for things like the lightsaber effects and the smoothness of the animation and special effects. Although a few more ships in the opening battle wouldn't have hurt, though (what's that doing in "style"?).

Sound: Star Wars music is always great ^_^ The voices were cool, the sound effects were very good, so overall, very nice! One thing I feel could be improved is the fuzziness of some of the voices, like in the start, and when Darth Vader starts talking. But still very good.

Violence: I'm watching the fight scene as I write this. It just occured to me how nicely animated that part was. A little lightsaber dismsmberment here and there wouldn't have hurt though. I liked the use of "Ace of Spades" for the "main fight", it just seems proper, somehow. I liked the movements of the jedi and the clone troopers. Hoping for some lightsaber duels in the next one!

Interactivity: It's a movie. M-O-V-I-E. Not a game.

Humor: I liked some of the little details you put into this, such as Mace's *bling*bling* to name one. The Darth Vader custom shop scene was good, too. I thought this was one of the funnier Star Wars movies I've seen, so yeah. The Twi'lek hooker scene was really cool, too. Very good job!

Overall, you get 9. It had it all... graphics, sound, violence, humor and style. I left interactivity out for obvious reasons :p
In fact, the only thing dragging this down was the length, and once the series is complete, that won't even be a problem anymore.

Looking forward to the next installment!

9/10 (EXCELLENT)

Brand-new-hero responds:

its in depth reviews like this that really help. thanks for the time you spent collecting your thoughts, i'm very pleased you enjoyed it and felt it lived up to the trailers hype. That means alot to me. the next episode will feature full on full episode combat with not only clones but the sith warrior as well. However, you'll have to wait for that...

[Sick Skate Line(FBF)]

Nice skate movie, but too jumpy.

I liked this movie. The only things that were letting it down were, in my opinion,
a) The length
and
b) The animation.

Graphics: I wasn't that impressed with the quality of the animation. I know that FBF takes a hell of a long time to do, but I felt this could have been a lot smoother. On the upside, I liked all the different "camera" angles you used... it looked a lot better than all the standard side on view skate flashes. In future, make the graphics clearer and smoothen up the frame-by frame. Other than that, good work!

Style: I've always liked FBF a lot, and this was no exception. As I said above, though, just smoothen up the animation a bit. And, once again, I loved the addition of realistic camera angles.

Sound: I liked the music, and how it seemed to fit with the animation. There were few sound effects, so maybe you could fix that in future. Try downloading the ones from stickslaughter[dot]com (THIS IS NOT AN UNRELATED OR PROMOTIONAL LINK SO DON'T FLAG IT). That is, if you want sound effects. It would probably make the movie better, though, IMHO.

Violence: The faceplant into the wall was pretty well done, so that's why the 2. The board snapping, however, was a little unconvincing. That was the only complaint I have with violence.

Interactivity: A play button. Oh, I'm so excited.

Humor: Well, I get the feeling that the board snapping and the faceplant were meant to be funny, so you get a 2 for effort. However, I didn't find them particularly funny, sorry.

Overall, you get a 6. The graphics were too jumpy, there weren't many sound effects and, let's face it, there are a lot of skate movies on NG. However, if you improve this, smoothen up the graphics, add sound effects etc, it could become one of the best skate videos on this site. Keep working on it!

6/10 (GOOD)

Saucey responds:

First of all, Thanks for all that i appreciate every comment. every thing you said will definately help me in my next skate vids.

[Transitions (Star Wars)]

The best trailer I've ever seen.

I can see why this made the frontpage. It's quite possibly the only good "trailer" I've seen on NG. Problem is, now I've got to wait for the full movie :P

Graphics: I love your style of drawing. The graphics were really clear. That's really all I have to say about the graphics. I wouldn't change anything.

Style: Stylish as anything. Once again, I love the character designs, and your drawing style in general.

Sound: Some lightsaber effects and Star Wars music. Not good, not bad. When you get a proper mic, and put some VAing into it, then you'll get higher. Until then, neutral.

Violence: A few lightsabers and a guy getting stabbed was all that stood out to me. Not much, but that's a good thing. Well, to me, anyway.

Interactivity: *Yawn* ...There was a "play" button.

Humor: I had a smile on my face throughout the whole thing. Not nessecarily funny, but very entertaining.

Overall... 7.5. I really, really want to give this higher, but since it's an unfinished trailer, I really can't, sorry. I can't wait for the full movies to come out. Hoping to see them soon!

7.5/10 (PRETTY GOOD!)

Brand-new-hero responds:

thanks for hte detailed input bud - really helpful! Did you not notice a guys head being crushed by mikes bare hands tho? THATS VIOLENT! see how i used caps to exaggerate that? cool huh - i'll..be shuttin up now..

[Brackenwood Christmas]

Well... If you're going to rip off the best...

Do it like this guy did. A great, erm, remake of an Adam Phillips style animation, with a nice little joke at the end. I swear I didn't see it coming.
(PS: Hope you don't mind me using the phrase "rip off")

SecretAgentRege responds:

Haha, thanks! It's not "ripping-off" since the point of the contest was to use characters or music to publicize Brackenwood. It's kinda hard to rip off an image when someone tells you to use it in the first place :)

But I think I know what you meant, thanks for the comments!
