drummer-boy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[AntiClockClock Prank 4]

"OMG LOLZORXZ, U GOT PRANKXED!!!"

I'll admit that this was somewhat funny, but how many times do you see this kind of stuff on the net now adays? People have been using the exact same soundboard for years, yet when you choose to do exactly the same as countless others have done already, people still seem to think you're being original. Next time try either creating a new soundboard or at least try only using conversations that last longer than "good morning".

[The Matrix Has You.]

Very cool

This was a very cool and interesting collection you guys put together. It's a shame that the first cartoon sucks compared to the others... On its own it probably would only get at most a 3 in newgrounds... Oh well, the others were VERY good. I loved the fiesta cat cameo in the third cartoon and all of the fighting was very impressive. All in all, I'd say this is an amazing collection of talent and hard work (except for the first move "there is no spoon"... you just shouldn't have included it with the others.)

[TmsT's "Frosty vs Rudolf"]

Very cute, very funny

That was a pretty sweet holiday cartoon. It kept up a good pace (never boring) and the animation was very good looking. The music and voices rocked, too. I've been doing flash for a while and trust me when I tell you that this is a very good movie!

TmsT responds:

The bit where Rudolf is hiding from Frosty (the tank) in the trees has some background music that's based on "The Little Drummer Boy". Just thought you might be interested...

[Jefferson Airplane-WR]

Sorry, man, but that really sucked...

I can tell you tried hard, but to put it simply: you can't draw. Or listen. You can't draw or listen. You got quite a few of the lyrics wrong, and the hookah-smoking caterpillar part just totally pissed me off. Also, the part where it makes reference to falling while chasing a white rabbit, I'm pretty sure they mean falling down a rabbit hole, not tripping on a tree root that looks like some ms-paint bird's foot. It was a good song, but you just didn't get it. 2 final suggestions: stream the audio with the video so if someone stops the movie partway through, the audio stops with it instead of continuing and getting out of synch. Also, watch "Go Ask Alice" by kishartdotcom on newgrounds to see what a real music video looks like.

[First Of The Rest]

definition of pointless

When I say that this was pointless, I don't mean it as a random, generic insult that you see everywhere. I'm seriously trying to stress the fact that this movie had NO point/plot/idea etc. All you had were a few still pictures moving around to a song that had nothing to do with this movie. You even ripped Trogdor off! Read the built-in lessons that come with flash to learn how to actually animate instead of relying on tweening imported images...

UrLord responds:

Yes, well, I didn't draw the characters. If I DID then they would be animated. I know very well how to animate, if you notice some of the subtle special effects I sprinkled throughout. The point is the comic, hence the images FROM the comic. Also, notice that your summary of what it was "a few still pictures moving around to a song that had nothing to do with this movie" is exactly what I said in the Author Comments. So congratulations at discovering the obvious!

[Bonerplex: "Go Ask Alice"]

Very awesome

Sweet, sweet flash there, buddy. I'm glad you don't take any shit from these guys who write reviews completely misuderstanding your flash. He obviously thinks that because a song makes reference to alice in wonderland, any movie featuring the song MUST include some aspect of the disney movie... *sigh* Great flash, reminded me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, what with the acid and the what not. (BTW-it's not very often I give 10 for style... this was truly unique and/or mesmerizing)

["Bonerplex" Episode 3]

Very cool

Awesome movie. I'm kinda writing my review for all 3 episodes, but that's ok; they're all awesome. Excellent choice with the GC, but it sounded sped-up... oh well, they sound better that way. Again, good work!

[Kick of the Century 2]

A potential 10...

Your style is pretty interesting and you seem to have some pretty good ideas animation-wise, but your drawing is still somewhat lacking. Plus some of the plot was just rediculous... I know stopping the soccer ball with guns was supposed to be funny, but it turned out to be just lame/rip-off-ish. If he had stopped the ball with his hands or something, and THEN the kicker pulled out a gun to finish the job, it would have been better. PS- the robot was HILARIOUS and GREAT looking, a very redeeming finishing scene.

[Kingman's Adventure]

Eugh...

The only good thing I found in that was the christina aguilara pic... other than that... well, you said so yourself: you wanted it to seem like a retard made it.... which you seem to achieve very well, I'll give you that.

[Holiday Inn Express]

...nope

I don't really write TOO many negative reviews, but this movie just isn't really up to average standards... Your animation is pretty rough (I know they're sticks, but they're still sloppy even for sticks) and the light fixtures looked like bowls on the roof with spaghetti flying out of them. You gotta work on animation timing, too; the energy ball thing went way too slow to be impressive... Oh well, you seem to know flash well enough to do better next time.
