Kalar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness XTerminator [P1]]

Meh, it's alright.

The graphics are great, they are nearly the real thing. The fighting scenes are really slow and not too interesting, though. Why do the guns only fire 3-4 bullets before being thrown away? Why do the mooks just stand there waiting to get killed, not even trying to defend themselves?

It's also really short. Needs improvement, but has promise.

Verdict: 2/5, 4/10

[Moustaches]

Par Excellence!

The Good:
+ Song was catchy! I can leave this running in a loop 3-4 times before getting tired of it. By the way, props on making it auto-loop, it makes the flash that much more awesome.
+ Solid animation and graphics. Nothing to say here really.
+ Moustaches? The hell? Awesome.
+ YOU THINK YOUR BEARD IS SO

The Bad:
- The female voice was... a bit off. It fits within the song nicely and everything, but by itself it was really aweful singing. It reminds me of Eric Cartman's Jennifer Lopez voice.

Final Words: Who made this song? You? Who did the voices (male and supporting female)? I'd like to see this info displayed in the author's comments, and I apologize if these questions have been addressed already.

Verdict: 4/5

[Subway Edition - horror]

Frustratingly Mediocre

The Good:
+ Amazing artwork here. This is top 1% stuff you drew in the background! The fact that there is so much talent in the artwork makes the film's shortcomings all the more disappointing.

The Bad:
- A lame attempt at humor not only ruins the thematic element at the start. And worse, it wasn't funny.
- The main character's artwork! What the hell, man? Why is a character from Pokemon stuck into a serious horror flick? This is the single greatest flaw.
- Subtitles instead of voice acting. Given your level of talent, I doubt you'd have trouble finding a good voice actor for the main character if you are unwilling to do it yourself.
- Not scary. The pacing, coupled with the above flaws seriously draws away from it and makes it creepy - at best.

Final Words: This could easily have been top 10 all-time material, but it was ruined by some fundamental flaws. Augh!

Verdict: 2/5

[Is funnier word?]

Deserving!

The Good:
+Artwork is alright. Not stellar!

The Bad:
-Wasn't amusing at all. Seriously.
-The credits are glitched - they don't happen unless you right click and press start.
-The voice acting was bad, and the sound quality was worse.
-Extremely short.

Final Words: Try harder next time. But hey, congrats on your first trophy.

[Jake's ToI Sneak Peak]

Lacking and yet promising.

The Good
+Fantastic artwork! The still imagery was pretty damned good.

The Bad:
-Intro was very sloppy.
-"Sneak Peaks" don't really have any merit for existing. The "ending" wasn't stellar and didn't make a lot of sense.
-Voice acting! The sound quality itself wasn't -bad-, but could use work.

Final Words: I see some promise here for a good, certifiably insane flash, but in it's present state this isn't ejoyable.

Verdict: 2/5

LordJaja responds:

-Thanks!

-I'm going to figure out a better one later

-my friends just wanted to see what I have been working on lately.

-I'll do my best to fix that

Thanks for the advice!

[We about 2 go get twisted]

Nah.

The Good:
+Love the concept, that commercial desperately needed a parody.
+The artwork is so bad, it's good.
+Ending was stupid enough to be funny.

The Bad:
-Very short.
-Probably took you about 45 minutes to make.

Verdict: 3/5

[What's the Worst]

Good! Not Great.

The Good:
+Great character design.
+Considering you did this in forty eight hours, the animation, story, and execution were all par.

The Bad:
-I'm sorry, just wasn't that funny. I probably have unrealistically high expectations for humor, but I didn't even crack a smile once.
-Not sure what kind of voice modification you used for the female voice, but it was distracting as hell.
-Ending was really stupid. I know a lot of newgrounds movies don't even have plots, much less endings, so I can't mark down much for this.

Verdict: 3/5

[A frog in A Storeyjmhm]

Repesents a new low for humanity.

The Good:
+Nothing.

The Bad:
-Schizophrenic. The author seems to want to portray the same kind of random atmosphere as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, trying to appeal to the mentally deranged youth of our day.
-Childish. Obsessing over dicks, shit, and eating shit, I hope the author does the latter.
-Utterly pointless. Maybe I just don't "get it", but this flash doesn't seem to convey anything other than mental abuse onto its audience.
-Poorly animated, drawn, etc.

Going to go ahead and foretell the future here:
People think this is a useless review.

Verdict: 0/5

[Halo- the true story.]

Funny at parts.

The Good:
+Graphics were alright. Some bits looked rush, others detailed, but all in all this only gets average marks.
+Some parts (Spartan 116 shooting all the Elites) were downright hilarious.

The Bad:
-The "Master Chief"'s voice acting was terrible. Keys and 116 were alright, but not stellar. Voice quality was also pretty low.
-Movie had a lot of unfunny stretches. Some jokes simply didn't land as intended.

Verdict: 3/5

[Time to Play]

Strangely distrubing and brilliant!

The Good:
+Very strange, in a good way.
+Great style. Very unique. That balloon had one sinister-looking smile.
+The sound, while repetitive, fits the theme of the movie perfectly.
+Ending was just as bizarre as the rest of the movie, but completed it perfectly.

The Bad:
-Nothing, actually. Very good short.

Verdict: 4/5
