Froodjakle's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Entertainment]

Let's just say...

Wow. Okay, I somewhat get your point in all of this, too much gaming is a bad idea, and I completely agree with that - But you know what else? This video, and the way it is presented, is NOTHING but you telling me "fuck you, dumbass, quit fucking playing games." I can respect the message you're trying to give, but if you're going to try and spread it like THIS, then I have nothing to say but fuck you, sir.

Calling us "game freaks" is REALLY gonna help you to spread a message you feel is important, isn't it? It's insulting, and more importantly, it sounds ridiculously rude. If you're trying to tell somebody to change their ways, the WORST thing you could possibly do is insult them for it, we aren't gonna listen to you if you play it off like that, we're just gonna shove it right back in your face, with an extra "screw you" on top. On top of that, your voice actor sounds like a complete and total asshole. The entire air about him, his voice, and the things he said were COMPLETELY derogatory, rude, and downright insulting.

And for your information, do you have any idea how positive gaming can be? As long as you aren't sitting in a dark room all day staring at a screen and playing World of Warcraft, or whatever the hell else you want to do, gaming can be a GOOD thing. For example, it can improve a persons reaction time. And look at something like the army, where video games are used to teach the basics of combat to aspiring members. It's NOT a negative thing, and if you truly think so, then you need to get your head out of your ass and look at the possibilities.

Next time, if you try to spread a message like this, try doing it in a way that DOESN'T make people hate you, and DOESN'T make you look like a douchebag.

[License to Combo: Revamp]

I'll give it an 8/10..

Mostly because I lol'd at the Devil May Cry voice clips. The video itself is alright. Nothing amazing, but not terrible either.

[Hakumen Demonstration]

Where's my 632146C, damn you!

I'll admit I was excited to see some Blazblue flash going on here, but sorely disappointed at the fact that this has almost nothing to do with it. At all. You have a stickman who somewhat resembles Hakumen, and you used some Blazblue music, but that's it. The Hakumen stick didn't even fight at all, it just stood there looking cheesy while you overused text saying "Hakumen" and "The White Void." The fact that you had a character from an already established game randomly show up during this is pretty confusing, even more so considering he doesn't even seem to have much of a point for being there, seeing as he doesn't DO anything. You called this a Hakumen demonstration, and yet you had a bunch of other guys performing moves with Hakumen's hair, not even using his weapon or anything. Not only did it make no sense at all, but you seem to have simply taken an already established character, given no credit whatsoever for him, and tossed him in here for god knows what reason, maybe to try and get extra points from Blazblue fans?

I'll give you some points for the animation, which was fairly smooth and pleasant to watch, but the ideas in this have "lazy" and "unoriginal" written ALL over them, and I can't respect you using an already established character, especially for something like the RHG, which I always thought was supposed to be about ORIGINAL characters.

[Spider Powers 5]

God dammit.

Why did you have to go and ruin this series? I loved the first 3 episodes, they were hilarious, and I've watched each of them multiple times, although I was a little worried at the end of Episode 3. Despite that, this had quickly become one of my favorite series on NG. Once episode 4 came out, I was equally as excited as I had been for the last few, until I watched it. I didn't laugh. Not even once. You turned a good, fairly innocent cartoon into a giant sex joke. A giant, unfunny sex joke. Needless to say I was heavily disappointed in the 4th episode, and I hoped that it was just a one time thing. After watching the first bit of this episode, I was relieved to find out there were no sex jokes.. Until the second half. The first half of this animation was great; It was funny, it wasn't unnecessarily crude, but then you brought the series right back down to the ground.

I thought you were going to be above all of this bullshit. There's already enough sexual jokes and parodies on this site, and here I thought you had an innocent, GENUINELY funny series, but I guess actually being funny is too much to ask for nowadays. I'll give you a 5/10 - 10 for the first half; genuinely funny and innocent, -5 for the last half, completely lacking humor and unnecessarily crude.

Why the hell did you have to ruin this series? The graphics were better in the previous episodes too, just so you know, although they weren't terrible. I prefer the old art style.

[Orange You Glad...]

Started off great..

First off, let's start with the good.

-Humor is great for the most part. The jokes were funny, the voice acting perfectly suited every character, and never seemed forced.
-The graphics and animation style are very unique and enjoyable. I've never seen an animator use the same style you used here, it was a nice change of pace and it looked good to boot.
-Well written dialogue, up until the end of the animation anyway.. And this is where things turn sour.

Unfortunately you dragged the animation on FAR too long, it should've ended after the Banana walked off and the other two complained about him taking it too seriously. The scene with the Banana coming back and "apologizing" couldn't have been further from funny. It was far too vulgar and violent for the type of animation this was. I myself have nothing wrong with violence and/or language, but it just seemed so out of place with this. The only time it seemed appropriate was when the Banana walked off the second time after insulting the two fruit, but honestly that's where it should've ended. The ending was forced, both vocally and comedically, resulting in a dry, completely unfunny and unenjoyable ending scene to ruin an otherwise A+ flash.

I'm still going to give you an 8/10 and a 4/5, because I still thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the flash, I just wish you had realized when to cut it off instead of dragging it on to the point where it had almost lost all comedic value.

[LL - Zombi]

Great.. 'Til the end, of course.

Gotta say man, I'm really wishing you took this seriously and finished it instead of ending with a joke.. It was fantastic up until the puppy vision, I felt like it had alot of potential, it caught my attention more than most flash animations do for some reason. Maybe because it was actually taking itself seriously instead of being a comedy like 90% of the animations on the site (until the ending anyway,) but I digress.

It's a shame you weren't really serious about this movie, it could've been so much more, but as it is I'll still give it an 8 for the quality movie that it is.

[anime munters]

Excellent!

Gotta say I'm not one for Yaoi, at all, but that's not gonna stop me from seeing how masterfully this was made. The animation is fantastic, your graphical and animation style is wonderful, and the song is fun to listen to. Not really any complaints about this, 'scept I almost feel dirty watching it.. And there are a few spots where the animation could've been improved a bit, but it's still much higher quality than 99% of the animations on NG. Overall a 10/10! Great job man, looking forward to seeing more animation from you.

[Birrus]

Nice.

And this is one of the reasons I laugh in the face of people who say stick animators have no talent.

LOVE the FBF work, and the water effects really caught my eye. Could be cleaned up in some areas, and the quality of some effects such as lighting could be higher, but this is pretty damn spiffy. 8/10, 4/5.

[Super Smash]

...Wow.

Really, the only way to describe this animation would be Amazing. I can hardly think of anything that would've made this better, although there are a few very very minor complaints I had.

First and most major complaint was how many motion tweens you had. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the fact that you have alot of fantastic frame-by-frame in there, but it would've been nicer to see the entire thing animated purely in frame-by-frame. Still, I understand how much effort it would take to animate this masterpiece frame by frame entirely, and you still animated this fantastically, especially when frame-by-frame came into account. One of my favorite parts was how realistically Giga Bowser was animated in the intro bit. The frame by frame in that section was nearly flawless.

My only other complaint would be that you didn't use any other characters, and really this isn't even a complaint. Hell, it's probably better that you kept this centered around 4 characters, it didn't get overly cluttered because of it and you got the chance to bring out each characters individual style and attitude without making it drag on for too long.

If I tried to list every single good element of this animation, I would run out of space before I could even list half of them, so I'll just leave you with that small amount of things that bugged me, and the words..

Holy fucking shit that was awesome. 5/5, 10/10.

[Boogley Birthday Bonanza]

Charming!

I don't know what it is about this animation, but I can't get enough of it :D
The excellent sound effects, animation style, simplistically stylish graphics, everything in it is pretty much perfect for what it was meant to be, you did a great job. Really the only complaint I could possibly have is the lack of replay button, but that's easily rectified by use of right click>play. I try to make it a habit of leaving useful critique, but.. I honestly can't think of anything in this I would've changed, it all fit together so perfectly, I can't really label this animation anything but charming.

To all of you complaining about the lack of length, please read the Author Comments. It was a tribute to a member of the site who recently had a birthday, it's not supposed to be some large, extravagant, epic animation, just a simple and fun tribute. Rate it based on what it's SUPPOSED to be, not on what it isn't.

For a tribute, this is perfectly made. 5/5, 10/10.
