Bobert-Rob's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Can we have sex?]

Looked good, but needs more

I completely agree with the person who said this was good, but the idea needs to be taken further. This is really good for one night of animation, but you really should've taken your time and added more elements to the story to help it stick out further. And the dude could've used a voice... the thought bubble was ok, but spoken word would've worked better there. That kind of goes with the more time argument, though. Not bad though, you earn my thumbs up of approval. See it? There it is, right there. One thumb held high. Good luck with your future works.

Gate-keeper-girl responds:

One thumb? . o.

Yeah, I wanted to use his voice, but he is shy in front of a microphone.

Later episodes (I am thinking of turning this into a series of hilarious escapades) will probably feature his voice, or an actor's (Hopefully I can get HIS voice . _.)
I'm glad you took the time to type out such a good review.
I appreciate the effort.

[Mastermind 3]

Pleased as punch

This is turning into quite the series... I think the highlight for me was the mastermind saying 'pleased as punch'... something about a deep, semi-serious villain saying something as fruity as that is just funny to me. Good stuff, I hope this continues.

The-Swain responds:

lol well if everyone hates that line, then it was worth it if at least someone thought it was great :D

[mr T flash]

Not bad for a first flash

A little odd, but for one day of effort, it's not too shabby. Work on the voice quality and it'd be good. Oh, and obviously, the animation, but I know you're just starting off, so that'll come in time. Just keep practicin'. WORD!

thebeanhead responds:

thanks sir bobert

[Life's about sk8boarding]

I'm not really sure what just happened...

Well, I'm not. The story wasn't told very coherently. The accent didn't even really bother me, it was the story itself... something was off about it. Maybe it was just too anime-ish for my tastes, I don't know. Also, the progression of the story was pretty... um... predictable. "Wake up late, go to the hospital a couple times, break the skateboard, rob a bank"... well, it was predictable when watching anyway. Not in the sense that I knew the entire time, I mean that once one thing happened, like the no money thing, I automatically knew he'd go do something like, oh, rob a bank. There were a few times where I was thinking "Man, it'd be funny if this happened." and it didn't happen. Like when the fly flew out of his wallet, it would've been funny as hell if he would've remembered the cereal with the fly in it and said something like "Oh man, I think my wallet's gone bad", like he did with the cereal. All in all, though, not TOO bad... just not my cup of tea. And try to work on the story telling skills, honestly. It'd help. Keep trying!

hamesu responds:

thanks for your words , i will do my best to improve my storyteller skills !

[I am 29]

Huh

Well that wasn't bad. I mean, it wasn't great, but at least it doesn't, you know, suck. I have no idea where the song is from, and that may be helping. Really simple. And don't be put off by the somewhat low score, I'm just giving that because it's short and barely contains any animation, it's more of a slideshow of images. But you're still learning, so I'll be fair.

And on another note, the girlfriend seemed really happy when she was flipping the dude off and saying "f u". Seems like she wasn't being an asshole, she was just offering him some 'we broke up' sex. That's kind of funny. To me anyway. Keep trying, you'll get there!

NapalmGirl responds:

Hey no prob better than a 0 :P. Yep I'll practice my animation more... About the GF, I changed her mouth in the last minute...It was a lot scarier...I liked the nicer looking mouth...She seemed less like a bitch. Oh by the way the song was from "Songs to wear Pants To" by Andrew Pants. He does a lot of funny requests. Theres a link on the right of the cartoon.

[This is your Brain.]

True

Of course my brain is a tree that causes snow to fall. It makes so much sense. Good music. Could've been animated a little better, but what was there was good. Yes indeed.

And on another note entirely, I sure hate preloaders that play themselves. Y'know, cuz I do shit when I'm waiting for it to load, and then I hear music and it's like "That bastard flash started playing itself, didn't it?". That's what it's like. DA DUT DUT DAH DUUUH!

Bloody great. Great, in a bloody way.

This is damn awesome. Another great installment. I really like the music in the background, it really sets the mood greatly. A personal favorite part of mine is the "You're ugly and nobody likes you" part, it's so simple, but the way you act it out is perfect. On the note of voices, I wish people would stop saying "Dur, all the voices sound the same", I'd rather have the voices sound the same and be acted out perfectly than having everyone sound different, but with subpar acting. The acting is what really sells this for me. Well, that and the timing, couldn't be any better. Great job!

JohnnyUtah responds:

thank you sir

[Waterlollies]

Well worth the wait, obviously

Never one to disappoint, are you? Damn, that was amazing, as usual (kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?). A lot of really jaw dropping visual candy in this one. Really awesome water effects. I don't mean the whole "omg, realistic water" (that's been your staple compliment for awhile now), but the sequence where Bitey was swimming was really realistic and well done. There's only one gripe with this episode, though, and that would be about the ending. It just kind of ended out of nowhere. Perhaps a little aftermath, like seeing Bitey still stuck in the tree, tired as hell, but relieved that it's over... that would've been cool. That's story-telling related though, and a really minor detail that could be worked upon. Regardless, amazingly great stuff. It's to be expected with you, of course. I can't wait for the next installment (which I doubt we'll be seeing until 09 if you put as much work into it as you did this one). Thank you for gracing the world with another god-like animation! Time to watch it again...

chluaid responds:

thanks! It's interesting you pointed out the under water sequence, as it's one of my personal favourites too. The great thing is that sequence is mostly colour and lighting effects but very little actual water animation. Thanks for noticing :D

At one stage I also considered coming back to Bitey after the end credits, but showing him hanging there would possibly have appeared a bit morbid, like a gallows shot. I eventually decided on the ending you see but have plans to include a hidden bonus scene when I get some more time.
Thanks again.

[Tankman Three!!!]

Wow

Just the concept of a parody of a parody is awesome. This should continue, with each parody simplifying the script more and more until it's incomprehendable. Wouldn't take very long though, would it? Of course, there wasn't any real SKILL involved in the creation of this, but that's part of the parody. Good stuff.

JohnnyUtah responds:

there was a perody of a parody of a parody, but it got deleted i think

it went all rainbow colored and was truly a thing of madness.

[Kite Plight]

Cute and very nicely animated

Very nice short you got here. I seriously doubt it was done in flash, though. It's got a little grainyness to the picture, which leads me to believe you used something more professional... toonboom, perhaps? I don't know, that's the only other program I can think of that could do animation at this level. Unless you DID do this in flash and had to export as a movie file and reimport for some reason. Regardless, the picture was still pretty crisp and everything still looked awesome, so good job with that. The music really added a lot to it as well. The story is simple, but that's part of what's charming about it. That and the setting, you chose a really good one. All in all, great job. Hope you do more, because this was great. Take care.

Onelani responds:

It's all Flash and yes, I had to re-import it back in as a .mov file. Thanks for your comment.
