Battosai810's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[trick or treat gore night]

Rather "meh"

First, I'll start with the preloader. The blood splatters and copious amounts of red just make it really cluttered and ugly.

The background in the animation has a kind of cool, bleak style to it that the characters do not. They look rather lousy and are barely animated; just tweening along. The music accompanying them was a good choice though.

Not to spoil anything, but the screamer at the end sucks. It sounds like you just yelled into your microphone and spiked the mic. Also, the accompanying image of "It" is not the most terrifying thing you could find either. The flash as a whole would be better without the lame screamer at the end.

All in all, a fairly competent effort marred by a screamer and some iffy art. Keep trying, your skills can only improve.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL A GOOD FAIR REVIEW, THANKS =)

[Bear Force One]

I enjoyed this too much.

I really don't know why, but I enjoyed this immensely. The planes didn't look amazing, nor did the background, but for some reason I kept on watching. It looped very smoothly as well, something not too many flash artists can do well.

In all honesty, part of me would love to see this become more than just a one shot joke, and become something like a Top Gun parody. Keep it up!

Tasty-Turnips responds:

This is the general point of the loop - glad you enjoyed it, it was just supposed to be something silly (or epic, if you want to look at it like that). This was the first thing I imagined when I heard the song. Thanks for the review!

[ParodyRangersTheMovie 1-3]

Art is the best yet, but humor is uneven.

The art and animation in this are both your best yet. Very smooth, and some nice perspective work too. However, the humor isn't quite as strong as in some of the other Parody Rangers flashes. I would rank this one higher than the last, but not as strong as the first movie one or the 3 originals, the first 2 being classics. However, I still enjoyed this one, and am looking forward to seeing what else you do with the movie.
Keep it up!

[INTRO to movie never made]

Not bad

The art style here is very cute and simple, I like it. The song was a good one for the cartoon, and would definitely be a good opening for a future flash series with these characters. My only real suggestion would be to have the characters hop rather than just glide across the screen. It looks a lot more interesting when they're moving rather than motion tweening.

Also, they're holding the guitars upside down in the beginning, but that's just nitpicking :)

Angora responds:

Haha, sorry, I never played guitar ^^. And at first I did animate them bouncing, but wasn't satisfied with the effect. Plus I would be tormented to make a bouncy sound effect every 20 frames :D.
And by the way, the series tittle "No Time For Flash" was supposed to be an explanation to the lack of advanced animation :3. That's why it's sliding without any feet, and expression or "face" is closed into a head that doesn't roll around together with the eyes :D. I thought it's quite adorable though. I can do muuu-u-u-uch better, I just don't have time.
Thanks for the review ^^.

[FO KK]

I knew what it would mean from the start.

I hate groups like the KK as much as anyone else, but making spammy flashes full of seizure incuding flashing is not too far from what they do. If you made something entertaining out of it, that would be one thing, but this is no better than the kind of crap KK, FF and the like put out.
Also, the KK is dead.

Ratcaller responds:

But I enjoy doing things like this :)

[ParodyRangersTheMovie 1-1]

Classic

First off, I'm a huge fan of the first two Parody Rangers movies, and, while the 3rd one wasn't quite as funny, was still fantastic. The best thing is, I saw the movie a few months ago on cable, and fondly remember seeing it in theaters when I was a little kid. Seeing Parody Rangers do a spin on it just made my day!

Everything from the strangely upgraded sets to the "X-TREEM" aesthetic of the beginning of the movie are so well represented here, and it's just great to see MEAT do his thing.

Thanks for bringing back some nostalgic memories and making me laugh my ass off - can't wait for the rest of the movie!

[Killer Tofu]

Entertaining, but not for Newgrounds

It was great hearing that song again (was a big Doug fan when I was a kid) and the video was entertaining enough, but it wasn't really the kind of thing that's meant for Newgrounds. These kind of webcam videos are more suited to Youtube, not a flash portal like Newgrounds.
Now, if you made a music video to this, then that would be something great!

[[SG] Milk's Secret Flash]

Well done

First off, the opening sequence with the words coming up and the dramatic chord was deliciously annoying, and I mean that in the best possible way!

The art was very nice - clean, consistent, and well animated. The voice acting was also a highpoint, and didn't sound stiff like a lot of voice acting in flash cartoons.

The humor in this flash was definitely it's highpoint. Lines like "I wish I was dead so I didn't have to see that" kept me watching and made this a really enjoyable flash.

The only real criticism I can draw is that the opening sequence could get annoying for repeated viewings. Very good submission though, and I look forward to seeing more!

[With My Mind's Madness]

Beautiful.

This is possibly my favorite Madness flash on Newgrounds. The art and animation are great, and it plays with perspective in a way no other Madness flash does. The overt symbolism and over the top action cement this is downright fantastic.
My only criticism was the music. I can't say I'm a fan of nu-metal, but in this context it worked well.
Loved this, and I'm a fan of some of your other work too. Great work!
