Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alligator Wrestling]

That Was Actually Pretty Cool!

That alligator walk was super smooth and it was shaded and everything! Overall, this animation shows competence in the field of art and animation. I don't know if it is as competent in the art of storytelling though. I mean, I don't think I got to see that guy wrestle with the alligator.

Revelation-Six responds:

Hey, thanks for the comment. Glad you liked the animation. Again, this wasn't meant to tell a story. The assignment for the class was an introduction / teaser scene. I might go further with this in the future, but my object was to showcase my animation. Thanks again for the comment. -- John

[Baby's Got Back]

Oh the 90's.

An innocent time when people were not ashamed to talk about their love of arse!

[Animated short "Hole"]

Basically, A Man Jumps Into A Hole.

...Yep, that's about it. Sure, he also climbs a bizarre dome shaped object via a tall ladder, but otherwise that is the plot so far. Now one can argue whether or not this has a huge philosophical backbone about man embracing his destiny, but in the end I sort of like it. The artwork, although not really that spectacular save for a detailed tree and a couple animated birds, shows a lot of competence so far. Animation is quite decent. As an alternative to all other cartoons on this site, this works.

[Man Versus Machine]

Y'know...

This is a pretty creative stick death movie.

[The Tale of Yoshi]

Very True, But...

This flash is pretty poorly done and the animation isn't too great. You should look at a picture of old school yoshi for reference, not necessarily trace ut, but look at it and study it. One of the things you missed are the red fin-like spikes on the back of his head and neck. I see your point to be very true, there are times in the game where you have to dump yoshi in order to reach a secret area, and you parodied that quite nicely.

[N. Korea Rocket Victory !]

Mission Complete.

April Fools was like 5 days ago RTIL silly boy. Well guys, it looks like RTIL has switched back into the gears of shameless spammery. Anyway the theme was Chinese communism, not North Korean communism. Although I think some Korean themed flashes might have been welcomed nonetheless. Anyway the smiling little chubby guy in case if any of you guys are wondering is Kim Jong Il, leader and god figure of North Korea, and son of former leader and god figure Kim Il Sung. Kim Il Jong is also the main target lampooned in Team America: World Police. He is a basically a little person who watches Daffy Duck and Chicago Bulls videos in between masturbating to obscure pornography. Don't laugh. He could kill you guys with a snap of his fingers... and make it painfully slow. Be afraid, be VERY afraid...
Anyway, I rather like the music in this spam, who did it? Is it some sort of jazzed up commie anthem or what?

xtil responds:

I have been part of the North Korean state long before Newgrounds submitted to socialist paradise !

I will send you to the bean field !

[LL - Fight the Power!]

Now Come On You Little Lock...

April Fools jokes are fun, besides, I was still able to vote on those couple "government approved" flashes to increase my EXp count so it wasn't all that bad for me. I just considered it a quick day. Some of that far east stuff they approved was actually rather cool (except the spammery that was annoying, but in a funny ockish sort of way). Newgrounds is great and all, but it only 1/6 of my adult life, so I can handle a one day shut down, and consider it an opportunity to do something else(like work on that flash I've spend my spare time on, or you know, homework). Anyway this April Fools joke opened my eyes to other peoples problems. It must be tough for people who can't taste the wonderful community NG has to offer because they are living under an oppressive government. That said, I just want to say capitalism rocks(or you know, freedom in general).

LeafLock responds:

viva la resistance!

(also, i agree about shutting down now and then. much like the china theme i was revolting against..this is a joke :P)

[I Like Chinese!]

Y'know...

I like Chinese too!

[8-BIT Waterslide]

Ah Videogames....

Quite the passion in my life y'know?

[Lost Thoughts(PREVIEW)]

Dutch eh?

Well that explains the awkwardly spoken dialogue. I can say that the animation was a little good for an amateur. This certainly is an amateur production all the way cause it's amateur hour tonight so get your cliche checklist ladies and gentlemen!

Animu look? Check.
16 year old possible Gary Stu? Check.
16 year old possible Gary Stu's girlfriend? check
16 year old possible Gary Stu's profile... That takes time to load all computer style? Check!
Typo in the title... Check! Check!! CHECK-O-ROONEY!!!

...Nitpicking aside, it is still cool to see a swordmasta jump up in the air and slice some rock with the chi emitted through his sword. Not to mention there was some effort put down into making bits and pieces of a city. And I find this flash done better then some of the noobish works I've seen. At least you didn't go all "LOL!!! I'm Stixman! LOLOZORED!!11!!"

So Robinater... What is your story about? A good, insightful/funny/scary/intelligent storyline can make even shape movies shine...
