Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mcdonalds Advertisement]

McShit

This brings a whole new meaning to the words 'Crap on a Bap', which is what some people call McDonalds over here in the UK. This advert makes me feel sort of hungry though...

At least this advert isn't pretending that eating shit like this is healthy.

Loved the guy's eyebrows. Simple animation - funny results.

Evan responds:

Haha, thanks. Yeah I thought it would be random to make his eyebrows rotate, so I did lol.

[LL - Portal Fun]

Take this further

Ok, so Master and Commie have the power to use portals. Even though Trash gave Master a savage beating, they surely need to come back for more mayhem.

I have to say the little joke about Chuck Norris was subtle and the funniest thing about the whole flash.

MasterLock responds:

WE SHALL RETURN ONCE MORE TO WREAK HAVOC UPON LOCKTOPIA! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Too Late...]

It always happens.

I liked the inclusion of 'Chariots of Fire' for his slow motion run and 'Another One Rides the Bus' at the end. I'd like to see some audio credits, as these are two classic pieces which everyone needs to hear.

I would have liked to see him grimace while running, otherwise it doesn't look totally realistic - but hey, you're the one who's got to animate it, I'm only a critic - That's probably my only major problem with the graphics of the toon, as it's smooth and controlled throughout.

[Zidane VS Materazzi]

Awesome all round

The only problem I can really find is that there seems to be a small problem with the knees when the fall down backwards.

Other than that, this flash is topical, hilarious and excellently animated.

Loved the steamroller.

[TooF Solid vs Croose]

I really hate the bleeps

It makes the toon like an episode from 'The Osbournes' or something.

Anyway, that's not to say this toon sucks. I like the style and enjoy the whole fight scene. Liked the little commentary at the end too, that's a nice touch.

Keep up the good work

MACception responds:

Your "8" says nothing about this sucking :D Thanks man, and, sorry about the bleeping, but, it's part of what makes TooF, TooF.

[Mark & Tim's Top 5 Diets]

Sound is a little... off

The five diets had me rolling on the floor laughing and when my mum walked in and saw the 'personal sadist' she was more than a little freaked out. Good work.

As a whole, the movie is good, but I'm going to pick up some key areas where you can improve this.

There is no lip-sync, but you don't appear to need it, you just move the mouth as a whole, rather than part of it trying to form the sylables as they come out of the character's mouths. A bit of a cheat, but I'll let it ride.

The characters look a little like manakins which artists sometimes use to make skeletons for life drawing. Maybe you could 'flesh your characters out' a little bit, their movements are slightly jerky and disjointed.

The final point is the sound. It seems that you've used too much bass for the voices and it sounds a bit muffled when I listen to some of the characters, particularly the bodybuilder.

[What are the Odds?]

A few niggles, but great overall

So sometimes the lip sync doesn't quite match up with the sound file and in general, the sound is a little on the quiet side. That does not stop this being a great flash.

I love all those little philosophical jokes related to god and free will. I have just one question: Why did you make him look like Colonel Sanders, the KFC guy?

And man, I want his job.

CaptainMcMuffin responds:

You're right, he does sort of look like the KFC guy, however I've never really thought of it that way before. Actually I hate KFC and I'm a vegetarian, har har. I guess that's just what I thought a personification of God in Vegas would look like when I was drawing him.

[Waffle X: Episode One]

Interactive?

So the people marking the coursework needed an interactive feature? The kitchen was simple, but not really the best interactive feature I've ever seen. (You could have made an interactive mini-game for a loader)

Not to say that it drags the rest of the flash down at all. It's great, with some of the best animation and sound I've encountered and a plotline which actually works. (God knows we need loads more of these on NG!)
