DreadMore's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Real Conversation with 4 year old and her Grandpa]

Ooooooh what a cure little brat XD

Awesome lip sync, I love the way you show when people laugh with their teeth out. Nice move choosing kids as substance for the next mov, they are very surprising, its like the script writes itself :)

[An Alien Affair]

I love the animation, great graphics, sound voice overs. All is simple, and it was supposed to be simple.

What I loved the most was the pace of things, the protagonist was escalating everything very fast, and the conclusion was not delivered until the very end. The suddenness of the answer of this very question of WHY made me chuckle :).

Also nice graphical representations of what the protagonist was saying.

[Mr. Dink's Grill]

+ for animation in movies and most sound effect, simple yet expressive for collab.

- minus for some people attaching ear piercing sound effects, bad for speakers and my ears.

[Vikings of the Interstate (Pilot)]

Lots of animation and ideas that are good to animate are conteined in this movie. Although the lighting looks blatant, the film was really worth watching, you could see every little move, hint of intention, mood. The worried wife, the jolly waitress - you did not have to see any particular dialog with them to already start creating their bio. Great fighting scenes, nice "intermission" time with the lady :D. I meant that the lighting of everything did not match the scene particularly (Sunday webcomic warm colours don't mix with the blood, gore and manliness much :p), but then again maybe that was the point: to have vikings invade not only in general idea, but even our own sense of peace and serenity (broadly speaking here), that you have created for us. Then again I would love to see the mood gradually darken the lighting in next parts if your pilot succeeds }:p.

Music was to the point, viking = METAL. Although I might have listened to it badly (not loud enough, my speakers malfunction). On the other hand It felt rather flat without the "clangs" and sounds of slicing, yells, generally some fighting sounds could be incorporated to make the viewer more "shocked" by the sudden acts of vioelence. All the other domestic sounds were incporporated very nice.

TL;DR: Very gruesome and awesome, but needs some sounds. Also would love to see at least some scenes fully lightened, like your Beast Flecko art piece.

[Yuki-chan 12 (The angry Yukino of video games)]

Since most people here find anime drawings "too easy of a way to win fans" you might have some reviews asking "wtf is this doing in daly 5", I got to say, I have enjoyed portraing how some games of the past were heard, and how we simply were damm frustrated with most of those games.

Also, I do like anime, but overally good graphics (3.5-4/5). Really liked it, the references to other games around the room, the background was warm and feeling cozy to me. Hot babes playing games are up my par too :). Of course, the pixelart was animated fluidly, and your mix during the "game intensifies" moment was good too. The *surprise appearance* was a nice touch too (I was too tired to react, but, meh :P).

And the audio was clear as day, ballanced, nice, nothing too drastic for the ears either (4/5).

As for the script, I loved the way you used all the classic elements to show people's emotions, or even making inanimate things alive. Of course, hot girl loosing at game is an easy topic, as I can attest, I'm a sucker for those... but having this in animation is a clear choice: to createa perfectly explainable situation WHY the person *might* be bad at games (but not calling the person "sucky")

[A Magical Snowman]

Face from annoying orange and really nothing more.

Fluid animation, but mean sound (there was discrepency of volume between the voices of the children and the snowman).

Mediacore animation, and nothing interesting in the script, except for boring randomness.

Urbs responds:

Fluid animation and "Mediacore" animation.. which one is your final answer? I must know!

But yeah the audio was rushed since I was trying to get it out last Saturday, so you can sometimes hear Alex's background noise.

[Intern Robot Doctor]

Pretty good

Voice actoring solid, nice background music (something like "mechanical ambulatory"). And the animaction is slick. The twist left me wondering:

"Is he a woman now, or does he have two exit holes :P"

Perplexing indeed, would like to see more!

jessejayjones responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. The mystery at the end will forever remain a mystery. :P

[Worry People: No Evil 19]

Been a fan of the series for long time now. Each part of the series brings something unique to the lore and makes one wonder about future episodes, while keeping answering the older questions, so blatantly speaking: the script is keeping a good level of suspense. Also, every character has his own quirks, and we can see they are quite dynamic (especially Huey).
4.5/5

The graphics are good enough to show Warlord's imagination, which must mean they are parallel to her amazing script writing prowess. Every now and then she keeps adding new ideas to the animation (I think the "thought bubble" was the first for this series here), and every little nook and cranny of the screen serves its purpose of delivering warm story, not too candish(yes, that's a word), and not too raw, just the perfect solution in between. 4.5/5

Talking about music and voice overs normally is the strongest point of the series. Not only is the music giving the rural vibe, the animation inside reflects and synchronizes everything from flute music to lip sync. This episode, although not as musical as the other Warlord's pieces, brings joy to the ears and a smile on the face. 5/5

=================
Not a part of review:
Huey... why are you giving people false hope... I just hope he thinks of something before the next episode.
I can't get Ms Kitty's song about the Moon, sometimes I sing it in work.

[Monster Dog]

Plot and script: Cute, extra, super simple, yet awesome idea and good eye for details.

Audio: good ear too, all things needed had their place and were crystal clear!

I know I watched it, and then I was more free, and more alive.

Lately, I have been feeling emotionless, almost as if its an illness.. But your movie still felt good to watch (Figmentos too, and Not Many Sheeps), and I even chuckled at the end, so..

THANK YOU!

[Creative Types]

Really good animation,

I loved the song, the way you combined the lyrics with animation, really impressive, many stories intertwining each other in ways I did not fully anticipate until I've actually saw them. Crisp and energetic, nice mix.
4.5

Smooth and yet simple animation, animation gimmicks that showed you got really great imagination. Don't let anything persuade you to go the path where you loose that touch with your inner artist, because I really felt this being one of the better works on Newgrounds, thanks to the freshness of ideas you have put into this one.
4/5

Plot/story/scene script: 4.5/5.

I hope to see more of your work. Will look forward for something making world more colorful.

P.S.
I Will have both accounts on eye, whatever your work is, I do not really know you, just make sure when you start Patron'ing that you separate from your doppleganger.. or he from you, who is the true master of the Pen and Tablet :D? Nevertheless, the creator of this peace should have a great pat on the back and a beverage on my tab.
