Alter-native's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hail Macbeth! Teaser]

Macbeth: A Shakespherean Classic In Every Way.

It is a classic story about one's fall from grace. A tale of an ordinary good soldier going down the path of the dark side. It's a must.
Anyway, your animation was pretty good. I hope you have it in you to do the whole story.

NeroGeist responds:

I am actually wanting to finish this, probably by next week I'll have the full version

[Base Times Height]

That's "One Half" Base Times Height Thank You.

I really like this short you have here. The art does have have this sort of "minimalistic" feel to it, but the animation quality and use of different perspectives, and the facial features make it very charming. I notice the guy has like a pink body and blue arms. Anything special about that or to it? Just wondering, he's a fine character. I like how you express his love for mathematics in the way he sees angles in the grass and a circumference in the sun. The funny thing is that mathematicians are stereotypically "indoors" kind of people, but this guy gets interested in the outdoors when he starts seeing the things he is studying in nature.

Will you make a sequel called A Squared Plus B Squared Equals C Squared?

MorrowDays responds:

I didn't say it was a triangle mr. :)
I just like that color scheme for characters.. I've used it before as well. There isn't anything really significant about it.

A sequel? Perhapps. We'll see.
thanks for the review

[Mon-Turs N+R+G Sludge]

Boy, Do I Love Student Films...

I wish Newgrounds was more like Liquid Television, in the sense that it would consist of mature sensible 14 year old prodigies who put time and effort into their individual projects devoted to original content covering a wide variety of genres more often rather than a cesspool of 14 year old noobs sending in wave after wave of the same karate fighting stick man movie.

Sadly it's only like that 10% of the time... The other 90% is stick men, or a hackneyed parody...

Anyway, I'll think twice the next time I think before dropping another quarter into one of those vending machines!

Galneda responds:

It's as the saying goes; if you look for it you'll find it. The kid that did Pigpen stands out among the Explosms and Sprite Flashes...glad you found mine!

Thanks for the review!

[Avatar Parody 777]

Avatar Was A Brilliant Experience Indeed.

I remember seeing it in 3-d for the first time. I was awestruck... Never before in human have we been able to achieve such a level of special effects that would dive our heads deep into the most realistic science fiction fantasy world. Oh, and the pleasant thought of hot alien sex I had when I went home to bed that night. That too. It was the most immersible experience I ever had. This movie on the other hand is not good. In fact, it's pretty cheapo. It is poorly acted and consists of too photo graphs talking to each other. Just the thought of Happy Leet Gost using the success of another film to get a free pass makes me sick and makes me want to return to the beautiful world of Pandora.

dullsworth responds:

this is the best review ive ever recieved :')

[El Fin]

The End...

That was a pretty good short for a first timer. In fact, it was pretty awesome in my view! It was well animated, skillfully drawn, keenly painted, and most of all, it had a shocking ending not for the faint of hearts.

You might wanna consider maybe changing that T rating to an M rating, cause that was quite a mess of Elfen Lied proportions!
Remember, T rated blood and violence comes in pint sizes, or green, or bloodless carnage with black etchings ala Princess Mononoke... Then again, there's always the question of vaguely humanoid people ala Metal Slug where the carnage can be higher than Mortal Kombat yet still earn a T because the characters are so small.

Pegosho responds:

i was thinking on it, but it was just a scene plus it zoom out fast enough for people to not see it clearly....but yeah, it was quite a mess lol.

thx for the review Alter.

[Blue Custom 2 Trailer]

Um A Little Suggestion...

Will you make the worm grow bigger as it eats smaller prey? That was the only thing missing from the previous game.

[Persona 4 - I Can't Wait!]

LOL Irony.

He can't wait to get out of school so that he can play...SCHOOL!

Kinda reminds me of my youth where I would come home from school to watch Nickelodeon... And what would I see you ask? Shows about SCHOOL! (Doug, Hey Arnold, Invader Zim, a couple All That Sketches, etc. (I could mention Welcome Back Freshman, and YCDTOTV, But that's waaaaaay back).

I could also mention Disney's One Saturday Morning Block. A block on ABC that ran every Saturday featuring cartoons...ABOUT SCHOOL!!! I mean school is just like the Vietnam War, it just can't escape you.

Anyway, this flash is good by technical aspects too. You don't normally see much effort put into Joke flashes like this. You gave every character an individual look, you had backgrounds and different scenes showcasing different angles, and the animation was on par too.

And seriously Persona 4 looks like a cool game because at least you earn knowledge points for getting answers correct RPG style(of course you can actually sort of do that in real life..But you can't open up a stat window to see them though!)

mrnihil responds:

school is topical. "hai gais, isn't school smelly and stupid?!?!"

"ZOMG, I can relate to that!"

i was planning on getting this one done in 3 or 4 days, but it ended up taking 8 weeks. it's all the FBF work. most of it was done on paper, initially. trial and error.

thanks for the 9.

[Blasphemy!]

It's Weird...

The drawings were crap, and the animation was not much better save for some use of professional tweening.
Yet I can't really hate it.
Maybe it's because of some pretty funny moments.
Maybe it's because of the song used...
I feel this was intentionally bad to parody the really amateur stuff here. Like a tribute or something.
Anyway, this short is pretty crappy, but it made me kind of happy.

Sticky responds:

Long as you're happy.

[RAGEK]

Good Kitty, That's A Good Kitty.

That's how to animate as a proper NG animator. A frame by frame fight sequence with other people's creations, for no reason. It's how I like it.

Now the drawing are a little rough around the edges and there is no background what so ever. But otherwise, the fighting was cool and the animation was smooth, so good job and keep up the good work.

Btw, Nice loading screen.

Hulalaoo responds:

HAHA, you have all the reason, i not can say "NO", nice review, all is correct :D

[WDYJDT - Ganon]

This Was A Pretty Cheap Fast Sprite Movie.

But I loved the joke, good job.

RecD responds:

Glad ya liked it.
