Karo-Korp's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[John & Mark - Episode 2]

Not bad

A solid plot which was stuck to throughout.

The animation was actually pretty good in that there was plenty of it and all of it was done relatively smoothly, although you feel more effort could have been put into each frame.

The wasn't much funny stuff to laugh at although the fall scene was nice, taken from Hotrod right? Or at least inspired?

The voice acting was okay but it NEEDS to be clearer and less "shout into the microphone from 1cm away".

Keep up the good work.

BoomBuster responds:

thanks for your comment. you see, i have a bit problem with a voice quality to fix and sync movement. but i'll make the voice effects better next time than this.

[Abobo: Weed all day]

Funny

For the first two loops.

Oh, it's not lost on me, don't get me wrong, it's just not great.. At all.

rebaz responds:

GokuVegetaGogetta.....what? you lost me bro.

[Pico and the Dandylions]

It's alright..

It's pretty funny, the voices are really good, funny and natural sounding.

Obviously the animation was pretty poor and simplistic. I feel this should be an audio track rather than a flash, though I suppose some of the humour would be lost if you couldn'e see the faces of the characters ect.

It's not random enough to be thought provoking or anything as deep as that, nor does it excel in anything else so much so that it's memorable. All in all, it's pretty poor, the pain outweighs the pleasure UNSMILEY FACE

MrScriblam responds:

how can something be random and thought provoking that's stupid you're an idiot

[DBZ: Game On]

Hah, nice one! Well deserved

I watched this a while ago, I'm glad it got on front page.

I definately recommend watching the first one first though, the cave one.

Excellent work, well deserved!

Peace

vlaktemaat responds:

yes good one, the cave is the prequel... thanks mate

[Grey Crasher Dance test]

If you put the effort it...

... you'll be rewarded with frame by frame that keeps the proportions of things. I believe so anyway. It might be daunting to think about how much effort you'd have to put in to make it so, but I feel the outcome will be rewarding enough.

This was actually quite cute, I enjoyed watching it. Good work.

RaventailBlacktalon responds:

Thank you very much! :D I plan on re-doing it, eventually. With much more effort, haha. Thank you for taking the time to review!~

[gravity cat the movie pt1]

This was... actually really good!

Talk about a diamond in the rubble! At first, with the button pressing, I thought it wasn't all that hot. Then the animation actually started moving and I found myself impressed by the fluidity of it.

I loved it, the humour was alright and the sounds were decent. You show SO much potential, really. I will keep an eye on you!

I really believe you can make great work. Hah, this made my night!

sonicfr responds:

I'm glad i made your night. :)

[Every Everything Ever #1]

It's alright!

I would have loved if it was more fast paced... The title kind of made me imagine a bundle of flashes all fighting for air time.

Jokes were funny, Zelda one was smart, but they didn't come fast enough for me to get a hard o- I mean laugh.

Will keep my eyes peeled for number two though if ya do it.

Love you.

Really, I mean, I looked at the London meet photos. Hrrrnnnnngg, you're hot.

Also, someone drew your Monkey face avatar on the toilet walls in my Uni. With Wonchop written underneath it, as if you'd have to explain a picture of a grinning monkey wearing goggles. I mean, no one will understand the Monkey anyway and why it's wearing the goggles, but you think by writting a name underNEATH WILL CHANGE THAT? STOP FUCKING GRAFFITING WHERE I PISS. (Which happens to be anywhere away from the public eye! I love being British)

Wonchop responds:

Cubicle Wonchop is watching you masturbate
Also pics or it didn't happen.

[Santa's on Vacation]

Not bad

The animation was sweet and the voice acting was nice and clear too!

I just felt it wasn't that funny, I did chuckle when JC made his entrance though, but that's it.

I thought the plot was a bit childish and a tad too American. It might have been funny had it not been too overdone already.

Not deserving of front page I don't think, but oh well.

Chakra-X responds:

Thanks! Full of cliche' I know, but that was kind of the point. I wanted Santa is have this ignorant, yet secretly tough guy, American attitude. I don't know why people think this is being overdone though, I've personally only seen South Park have Santa v.s terrorists.

[The Pigpen]

Hot damn

A masterpiece, surely! This was pretty intense man, from the off.

The animation was really well done. It had a Ren and Stimpy feel to it, not just the animation, but how the Pigs were acting. The characters, all different. Each pig had it's own personality. Even though this doesn't appear to be a series, you've managed to, in one flash, create a world and given us a taste of it. I could rant for hours on how good this is! The part where he's at the door and his eyes are shifting! The part where he's on the automated walkway, nodding his head to the music, fantastic! The bit where he's glancing back and forth from his ticket to the ticket number counter, superb!

It's actually terrfiying the more and more it goes on. Starting at the hand. When you realise that Pig has gone in there with nothing to offer, you just think "Oh dear". When he tries to leave and gets grabbed, oh man, I leaned back in my chair, trying to distance myself from the monitor! Haha. The Piggybank idea with the coins is genius, truly. The humanoid is a nasty piece of work! I hated him at the end! The gluttonous bastard! Preying on those poor pigs! The eating scene is fucking brilliant. You've got such a brilliantly creative mind!

Words fail me! DESCRIBE WORDS, DESCRIBE!! You really stir up some emotions with this flash man! It's funny, scary and sad! A masterpiece I say! A MASTERPIECE! -Foams at the mouth-

SpamClamberton responds:

Someone get this man to the hospital!

[Bubbles: the movie]

I liked it

I thought it was pretty tranquil really.

As for there being no plot. There quite clearly is. The plot is of bubbles going around until being popped by a flower. There's your plot right there. How can something not have a plot? Fair enough, it can be a weak plot but it's there none the less. Shit, I've said plot so much it's starting to sound weird when I say it.

The animation was pretty sweet, very smooth and it flowed well. The music was nice and calm. Faggoty? Haha, seriously man.

I wouldn't call anything on Newgrounds a movie if you ask me, but you didn't. I think random shorts like these have as much place on NG as say, the Bitey flashes, which is what this reminded me of in a way. A nice forest scene with decent music.

The colours were cleverly done, and the shading mixed with the blur effect really helped create a sense of depth in the forest. Without showing too much of the sky (if any infact) you trapped the audience in what appeared to be a dense forest, with a thick canopy. That gave the forest a mystical feel, which was empowered by the blue-ish mist that lingered in the background. The blur effect was great, I loved it. It made the forest seem more detailed. You really do get the impression that you are visually focusing on the bubble, with everything in the foreground and background being out of focus. The bubbles themselves were animated really well, they looked really 3D and had a very natural feel to them as they floated about.

The music was very peaceful and really made the flash. Without it, the flash would have definitely lost all of its power. The light feel of the music didn't in any way distract you from the images. In fact, it almost seemed to guide you through the forest, along with the bubble.

I can't really fault this anywhere, the length was perfect for what this flash was. There are only a few things I can think of that threw me off a little. Firstly the ending credits come in a little too fast I think, and the change is music is too abrupt. The contrasting styles in music almost jerks you back to reality after being lost in the serene forest. The other thing is the text saying "Pop easily". The colour was a bit too close to the background colouring and there were too many of those blue dots around the text. I feel the white text used for "Bubbles" would of been completely acceptable had it been used again for the text "Pop easily". The background to the"Pop easily" text was less detailed and appeared flat in contrast to the other scenes. I like the fairy, it really changed the feel of the flash. With it, you really do have a magical forest.

This was a pretty good flash. One of those hidden gems that you're lucky to find. Keep up the good work man, you show a lot of potential. I can't wait to see more of your work.

Oh, and take that warning off! Haha.

CyanSandwich responds:

Thankyou for a wonderful (and detailed) review! I see where I went wrong. and right. My next flash will definitely be better though :)
