GlueR's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[S13 - I Want It! Syndrome]

Great!

Man, other people would have stopped animating after the first minute or so! You, on the other hand, are taking it all the way to present a complete story, with fluent animation, nice catchphrases, a distinct sense of humor(I've seen the rest you've made) and likable characters! I couldn't know about your voice acting due to the language barrier, but I didn't see anything wrong with it!

So, go make your choice as well! Go get a job as an animator, a screen writer and/or voice actor(if you haven't already)!

Nightwayfarer responds:

thanks
I hoppe I attend to the Saint-Petersburg University of Cinema and Television next year :)

[The five pillars]

The five pillars and the five vote!

I don't know if you submitted this for political reasons or just because it was a school project, but I salute you!
I'm not a Muslim myself (I'm not even religious), but I always thought that a big part of what's going on in the world right now between Christians, Jews and Muslims is a lot due to misinformation about what each religion is all about. Especially Islam.
Believe it or not, this flash movie is more informative about it, than you think. A lot of medium level of education westerners, for example, think that Islam is about jihad and suicide bombers! At least with this, you show them that, as a religion, it is based on the same social values as Christianity and any well-founded religion (charity, respect for others, family values etc).

Ten stars for your small contribution to world peace! (Still, there are some issues with the voices, but no biggie)

Greenhotflame responds:

Thanks for the review! Hopefully next time I will have a better mic!

[Freek Out U.s.a 2.0]

It's ok

Right when I was just about ready to reach a decision between 9 or 10, it ended. Please, do the whole song! I beg of thee! It's really well made, but it has to be full length to really appreciate it!

DisneyJr responds:

ok i will!

[Bill Murray's Space Jam 4]

Constructive critisism

Welcome to the 80s. Mass production temporarily beats quality and everyone gets a metallic frame, an engine and five wheels (including one for steering) that they call a car. A little less than thirty years later people are more into quality than quantity. In most cases (including flash movies) the same effort required to make twenty crappy animations, if used in just one would get you double the publicity and it would be almost all good. You (and other clocks, locks, ocks, cks etc spammers) can make some good stuff, but for some reason I haven't figured out yet, you don't. You 're making a ton of doodle and you distribute it, but you could have made a Mona Lisa...

SirCannabisClock responds:

we are great republic of china, we make many things you want. you want movie films, we make. you want great advise? we make. You want donald duck porns? we make. we are great republic of china. You do not talk about glorious leader of republic strawberry clock. VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSTITUTED.

[War of Da suitcases]

Wrong song

You could have chosen some other less interesting song for the background. A few seconds after it started, I ended up listening to the song and paying no attention to the animation (or maybe I should say, the still image sequence?). Make it shorter. Try to animate stuff. It's frustrating and a lot of work, but this is the way to go. Other than that you 've made a decent effort and you're on your way up! Good for you!!!

Mrpink135 responds:

Maybe you should get that whole eye hearing thing checked out dude......ha sorry

[Hitman's job part 0]

Keep it up! (with minor changes)

It's "Dynasty" all over again, but this time with a funny one-man-one-voice Jackie Chan type of over-dub! They all sound like the "American" businessman villain in kung-fu films. But I did like your businessman voice. If others could do it in films, why not you, in an animation? You could have tried changing your voice between characters, though, keeping the same dramatic tone and then making the story roll a bit faster. It felt kinda like a soap opera episode.

Keep up the good work! I'm sure the next installment will be even better!

sam-delitans responds:

the next installment WILL be better. i already tried changing voices between charactors but they still sound the same and i have edited them quite a lot of times. thats why i put subtitles so you wont be lost half way through the movie.

[MK vs. SF -VG Exiles Ep.1]

Very decent!

My personal opinion? Sprite-astic! I'm a little tired, though, of the seemingly endless dialogs in the "[click/press *something*] to continue"fashion. I do tend to like voice acting, since it's not the 80s where you couldn't have decent audio in videogames. I know voice acting is quite tough, cause you need variety... women... decent equipment, acting talent and others, which means that you 'll have to either hire people or change your current friends, both very difficult. But nonetheless, those who do this have a better end result. I don't want to be unjust here, but it's the end result that is being rated and not the effort. Other than that, I really loved the fight sequence and your own drawings are quite good as well!

R1665 responds:

I actually planned on putting V.O. in this, but I didn't like the way it came out and I was running on a deadline. I still don't know whether or not there will be V.O. in the next one.

Oh, and those aren't my drawings. They were made by Lee Drake, a very good friend of mine.
