AfroUnderscoreStud's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flathead Symphony]

Short and eventless.

Nothing really happened it was just a few creatures playing instruments(some of them being odd instruments) with a bit of blood pointlessly thrown in every now and then. If you were going to have blood, you should have had a reason for it to be there instead of it just randomly appearing. You also should have had something visually interesting taking place in the movie, as creatures playing instruments isn't exactly entertaining, you should have had some sort of event actually taking place within the movie. Despite the fact that nothing at all happened within the movie it was still too short and it should have been longer. The sound was good as most of the time the action(if you can call it that) was in time with the music, but that's the only good thing there really is to say about this movie. I remember a time when I'd have said it had good graphics, but due to the fact I've finally got flash MX again recently, I realise how simple it actually is to draw this kind of graphical style.

Thanks for explaining yourself, I hope you don't mind if I address a few things though:

"If you were going to have blood, you should have had a reason for it to be there instead of it just randomly appearing."
-It doesn't randomly appear, there is a guy that falls from the sky then splats. Perhaps you didn't see him?

"should have had something visually interesting taking place in the movie"
-Umm... was your monitor turned on? I don't know how to respond to that other than by saying, there WAS many interesting things happening all at once, what else would you want to see?

"you should have had some sort of event actually taking place within the movie"
-There was. They were performing a song.

"I realise how simple it actually is to draw this kind of graphical style."
-Try it, I dare you.

[The man from beyond]

Eh? Random and pointless.

It just didn't make any sense at all and it was just completely random. An alien guy went around firing little balls at things then got knocked unconscious, nothing really happened, you should have had something eventful happening along with some sort of story or plot, as this just wasn't very interesting at all. It was very poorly animated, everything was just simply motion tweened which didn't look good at all. The music was too quiet, it fitted with the movie, but it was still too quiet, also the sound effects you used were really poor and didn't sound right with what was happening at all, as they were just the wrong sounds to use, I'm not saying they were completely wrong, but you should have used better ones.

[Prank Call: BLOWJOB]

It needed to have something happening in it.

It was just a sound clip with some flashing text, there was nothing visually interesting going on on screen and there really should have been as this just wasn't a flash movie at all really. The sound clip wasn't even too funny, it was just really poor until the guy picked up the phone, but it wasn't exactly an original prank call.

I recognised the prank caller's voice though, I've heard it somewhere before, who's voice was it?

[Rain]

It was far too short.

What you had seemed pretty good, but the fact is that you just didn't have much at all, it was about 10 seconds long and all you showed was a closeup of a persons eye, a dead body on a sofa and at the end a guy hanging, you should have extended the movie so that they'd have been more to it, you should have made the eye creepier so that it made a more striking effect and you should have used some slightly more creepier music, the music was fine but just not quite creepy enough. I'm not too sure what to say about this really as the only thing wrong with it was the shortness of it and the fact that nothing really happened, had this been longer, more eventful and had some story to it, it would have been a great flash.

[up close]

Nice concept, but not much happened.

It was a nice concept, I'll give you that, it was very different and it was a great idea to go right up close to a mosquito as it was sucking blood from a human arm, the only problem with it was the fact that not much really happened, perhaps you should have had the mosquito escaoe and you could have shown a little more of the mosquito's actions up close, like the guy trying to swat it, you also could have had the hand coming towards the screen as the mosquito got slapped as it would have added a bit of excitement to it. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't too bad, it's just that not much really happened. Perhpas you should have used a more fitting music track too and some more sound effects as well.

[Man with the Fat]

Eh? Is that it?

It was just a really fat man you drew and that was it, there was nothing else going on, you should have put something in the movie other than a practically still image and some text so that they'd have been something interesting to watch. This was more of a .gif image than a flash movie.

[exploding fish]

*Tuts* Shit jokes aren't funny.

A fish eats a turd and explodes, that's all it was, it just wasn't funny at all, shit jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be. To improve this you should have made it about something other than a turd, it didn't even make sense as to why the fish exploded, you should have made it eat something that actually does explode, you also should have added in some music and you definitely should have had sound effects as it just seemed really odd having an explosion with no sound to it.
