LozzoSAURUS's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halo vs Call of Duty]

lolwut?

autotune anyone?

mildly amusing in parts, bad voice acting most parts, bad animation, good pictures and backdrops, bad story, only one joke about the nuke at the end which wasn't even very well done either.
there is a lot to be improved upon.

M4KBOT responds:

it isn't autotuned

[A Fistful Of Fuzzies]

thought it was ok

like you said, the lip syncing didn't quite match up, but I also felt that the voices didn't have enough emotion in them.
the story was brief and lacked depth (no reason as to why they were going into the depth of the west, nor do we find out who these people are (is the main char supposed to be some sort of sheriff type or is he supposed to be a do-gooder badass) )
the title sequence was very good, although i felt that the intro after that should provide the story depth and character build that would have boosted your score (it doesn't even have to be a long intro, maybe a quick miss-understanding at a bank which lead them to be driven out of town and to run away from the law etc)
the animation was a little choppy, but it doesn't draw attention to itself.
I noticed the faint attempt at comedy, but it could have been a little more than not-so-funny one-liners. also why the pictures and maps of Aussie land everywhere lol? the wild west is in America. and I'm pretty sure Australia doesn't have coyotes
the atmosphere you whipped up was pretty nice and the art was superb.

overall 8/10 5/5. i enjoyed the most part and would like to see an improvement on this.

KFoxyFox responds:

Thanks :) The Australia thing is a homage to Australian westerns; I got the idea since two of the voices were provided by Australians. Gold was mined in Australia, so there is more in common with the American west thank some may be led to think ;)

The main character was meant to be a bit of a prat anyway =P I made this to fulfil a script I wrote at uni, which ironically got a great grade :) Thanks again for the feedback!

[Santa's Tree]

awwww

really nice, i liked it alot.
who one creatures celebrations can be another creature's world falling apart and being destroyed. and how santa doesnt only help humans. as humans are selfish and believe that only they deserve treats.

heh, although i had to say, acorns come from Oaks, and so grow into oak trees, pine trees come from pine cones, but that doesn't matter :D

lovely idea, thank you

Sonucais responds:

You got the point ;)

[Bitter Bill]

nice

i liked it, but some parts where bitter bill was shifting his positon and talking seemed a bit slower than might have been better. also i think that after the guy was really shocked when the animation started moving, he wasnt as shocked as he could have been. but otherwise, it worked well. i like the FbF and how it was smooth.

Slackman responds:

I'm glad you liked it. I'd like to think my pacing and animation skills have improved since I made this. He probably should have been more shocked. Oh well. Something to remember for the future!

[Tir Na Nog : Episode 1]

oh no

pleaseplease no pleease nooo! first sprites arnt good (personal opinion, but im sure theres a hefty amount of people who thik this too) but maplestory does Not need propagating >.< i have played it with a friend recently. i regret those wasted hours of my life.

fact is, u made a relatively good job of it (considering you used sprites and maplestory settings). so i will give you 7 for the flash, -3 sprites(yes i despise them THAT much), -1 maple story, +1 atmosphere which was extreme.

the fact that i actually recognized most of the maple story references makes me feel sad :o. im sorry if i really want to draw you away from something if u feel its a good thing, but sprites are cheap, bad, evil, pussy animated and annoying. i am actually struck between hate and admiration. i gave you a 4/5 for the flash and did not deduct any because of my hate, but the review suffered because of it.
sorry if u feel that i am being biased, unfair, mean, stupid and bitchy, but god damn aren't all cynics and critics. and worst of all is a cynical critic (me) sooo, whatcha gonna do.
anyhoo, my advise is to please find another way to put across this story. thanks

GoldenTot responds:

I appreciate the comment, but the fact you rated it low just because it was Maple Story is completely and utterly ridiculous. The animation is what you're rating here, not the game it's based on. Some people like to play Maple, and others don't. That is completely fine, but this isn't the game, it's an animation.

[LARRY episode 1]

W O W

I cannot, CANNOT, wait 2-3 months for the next episode! damn you Jazza, damn you for torturing meee!!!!

i loved everything. maybe occasionally when people were shouting the sound quality dipped a little, but otherwise <3 the comedy was awesome, especially when Larry pulled the town crier's jaw through the back of his neck -lawls!, and basically everything was awesome!
awesome job!

Jazza responds:

i dont even know if that was anatomically possible, but it was cool. lol

[TheBoogley's Birthday]

i actually said aloud

"wh- what?" while watching this. i watched it 3 times and im still saying "wh-what?"

mrnihil responds:

try a 4th.

[Future is in Your Hands]

err

yes, because that would happen - is what i was thinking when i watched this, even tho im wrong :D.

k so. drawing and animation could do with a hell of an improvment, i would suggest drawing more free hand (a little wobbley but you dont get the flat-rigid and hard-to-see drawings)

the animation needed more key-frames inbetween to make it smoother.
the inside of the ship might need re-designing.

i really liked the earth, the UFO, and the concept, they really got me going :). i especially liked how the alien saw all the bad point of humanity and just the one good point before he/she/it decided that we should be saved. that made me smile a little :).

if your interested, Vova-Zknight, ive done a little drawing as an improvement on you meteorite blaster thing. if you want to see it, ive uploaded it to my art profile thing here on NG. so yah. good work

Vova-Zknight responds:

OK, thx, I'll be glad to see it.

[Edwin Ep01]

haha! heey!

phlippin phantastic, with a ph!

your onto something good here, i would LOVE to see more!
voice acting = wooooot!!!
drawing, animation = woo woo woo!! yeeaah
atmosphere, sound quality = yeah baby yeah!!!! wooo!!!
music and other suff = go girl!!! wooooo woooop!!!

my only asking thing is make more and longer, or more shorter but make the them faster :)
i have nothing to critcise about, nor add to :O which is a rare combination.
aarrgh, all it needs is a good story to bring this shit together and u have your self a baby awsome suckleing on your nipples, now dont be put off by that, that is what all animators all aspire to, even if they dont know it. or not, whatever.

just a quick addtion - maybe the hunter could be bit by the vamp, then over the next couple of episodes he could turn slowly into one and he keeps on denying it etc and stays indoors etc and.... then the assistant goes and gets another assistant to try and kill him :D im no story writer but woop

awsome guys'n'gals, just awsome :D

Kieran-s responds:

haha, yeah I've got a similar plot request like that, but don't worry, I've got something different in mind.
