Soapbubble's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[T E T R I S ' D]

Short, but entertaining

===============
Score: 7 / 10
Summary: Short, but entertaining
Review: I'm actually not biased when it comes to stick movies, but I prefer my movies with some sort of story. It can be argued that there is a story in this, the fight against the Tetrismonster, being attacked by tetrisblocks while listening to tetris, but what I need is an actual plot.

Now, I liked how you timed the music with the falling blocks. Well, time it with the whole movie, really. The stickman moved smoothly, which I liked. Can't say much towards the graphics other than that, as they weren't very diverse, but the animations were really smooth.

I also liked the idea of being attacked by Tetris, by falling blocks, and then by this monster. I can't say I've seen that before. All in all, I could've wished for some more plot, and possibly for more diversity, but I understand that this is purely for entertainment, short and fast and trippy.

[The Real Legend 3]

Incredibly well done!

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Incredibly well done!
Review: Wow, was this a treat or what! This parody flash has the full package. It is a great parody, and a lot of scenes I bet many people have thought of before, as well as great sound and voice acting.

First off, the drawings and animations. Smooth as a baby's bottom. Drawings were great, parodic and still true to the originals, while there is absolutely nothing to say on animations. Still true to the style of the originals.

Voicing and music, terrific. Great voice actors that really made you believe what was said, and music that is... Uhm... true to the originals? Either way, high quality.

So, to sum it all up, this is one of the few gems in the NG collection. I'm not saying that there's little of quality on Newgrounds, but this is simply a treat. I'm pretty greedy with my 10's, but I'm handing one out here, because I can't find anything to pull down the score, and that's usually what I'm looking for. Originalty, graphics, sounds, you has it. Awesome.

[Deadbeat Boyfriend]

Naive girl.

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Naive girl
Review: I do really enjoy this flash. It's got really incredibly good animation, and great drawings. It's funny in a horrible way, how this naive girl keeps forgiving this boy all the time, and keeps getting blown off.

I hated the music, but it does fit, in a weird way. I mean, romantic tunes wouldn't really fit well with the animations. It wasn't a flash to be taken completely seriously, and I believe you managed this with perfect grace! Great flash.
===============

[Pencilmation #5]

Pencilawesome

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Pencilawesome
Review: Man, this is what I love to see! Something new and original! I mean, you might not be the first to make a pencilmation, but this isn't something you see every day. The style, the originality, the smoothly animated simple drawings. And of course, the funny story. The funky tune in the backgrounds makes it all the more entertaining.

And of course, awesome ending. Loved it!

[Facebook Twitter]

It's funny because it's true

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: It's funny because it's true
Review: To be honest, I'm surprised that this flash has average review of 9.5. I really expected the general NG audience to dislike this flash because it was too... talky.

Either way, on to the review.
This is JohnnyUtah at his best. The classic awesome style of graphics, the smooth animations, the great voice acting and the incredibly funny script. The little tune playing, and a surprise ending. I love surprise endings like that. Another flash that comes to mind is Chuck's New Tux, which also features a surprising ending.

The only reason I can't give it a full 10 is because that it does get a little slow. Even though it's true, it's incredibly funny, it feels like at a few points, you dragged it on a little too far.

Funny, as always!

thanks mate

[Gravitaxis ++]

Beautiful

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Beautiful
Review: I really like your flashes, they're all full of meaning, and they're serious, but not too much.

The drawings are typically yours, and I love them. Which means that graphics are great, and so is animation. It's smooth and well done.

It's an original flash, with somewhat surreal creatures and with things you aren't really expecting to see. Seems to me like it's a music video, but it tells its own story, which might be a little deep for some.

Even so, I'd prefer to see more things happening. It was fun to watch, and it was pretty to watch, but sometimes, it was a little slow. The fact that it's played backwards gives the flash a positive effect, that really sucks you more in and kinda forces you to watch, to find out why this is happening, what happened before what you're watching happened, and so on.

Excellent flash, but at times a little slow.

[Cooking Sama]

A little simple

===============
Score: 7 / 10
Summary: A little simple
Review: I'll try not to be biased in this review, but I can't promise that I wont be.

First of all, I'd like to say that, even though I don't like the style, the drawings are good.

The flash contains minimal amounts of actual animation. Some are just drawings with a little motion tweening in them, which really doesn't qualify as animation. The story... is not very original. It reminds me slightly of an episode of MAD TV I saw, which ended up with fingers being cut off, amongst other things.

I get the feeling that there wasn't too much work put into this. It's an okay animation, but it's not original or all that much.

[Junior]

Funny

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Funny
Review: For some reason, I just can't ever get used to your graphics, drawings. Your flashes always makes me laugh, and they're original, well thought through and features great, smooth animations, but the graphics just don't do it for me. On to this flash.

I love how you've connected multiple flashes without actually making it into a series. They're individual flashes, but they're all connected through characters. You learn us a little about them in every episode, and even though it might not be intentional, there's even some sort of lesson for people to learn in these flashes. I admire your skill to combine the macabre and the funny.

[Mastermind 4]

Flawless

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Flawless
Review: This is one of the few flashes I have been waiting for. I rarely look forward to a new flash as much as I did this one. This not only one of the funniest flashes on Newgroounds, but it's a piece of art. It's original and incredibly wellmade, with great drawings and animations, as well as awesome voice acting.
The colors are dark, which is one of the Mastermind trademarks, and I believe this just makes the whole scenario so much funnier. A stupid, trigger-happy villain, who enjoys firing at will at anyone and anything.
Great stuff!
===============

[Ghostrider Animation]

Nice idea

===============
Score: 6 / 10
Summary: Nice idea
Review: This is a pretty fun idea, and it made me smile more than once. Possibly add music and voicing instead of the text, I'm sure someone can help you with that. Make sure his feet are visible and animated while shopping, and make something more happen. I know it's supposed to be a simple "day in the life of", but you should be able to squeeze in some events. Cheers

JustHannah responds:

thank you for the score and advice. there were tons of things i wanted to add in but never got the chance, it was only supposed to be a 30 second animation. those text slides saved lots of time in one perspective but in another it makes the animation pretty bad. from my point of view.

thanks again
