Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spiderman vs. Pie]

Randomly funny

I looked at the start of this and thought "Oh god, here we go with some shit", but you surprised me. I can't really understand what Spiderman is saying, but some of the jokes were so randomly funny that it didn't matter. For example, 'necking' MJ like that was perfect.

Some of the animation was a little off the wall, especially the facial mutation of that head on Johnny 5 from Short Circuit (Was it John Goodman?)

Now see if you can do something seriously, but still funny. You've got animating talent, let's see it put to good use!

SteamTusk responds:

Indeed that was John Goodman. It isn't important what Spiderman is saying, what matters most is the visual impact of the actual animation. The style was purposefully simplistic, much in the same way that Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame purposefully cut pictures out of magazines to make his animations. My intention was to take the reality of a tangable analog to the real world perform actions completely fictional. The stark white background was intended to contrast the spectacle occuring in the foreground.

Appreciate your review. I've been getting alot of insightful feedback on this, but for a first effort I, myself, couldn't be happier with the results.

As for the sound quality. I recorded the voices through a pair of headphones. (Trust me, try it and see.)

Simple Lampoon

It's not really the most special thing that I've seen and it certainly has more animation than Afro_Stud's Adolf Hitler Flash (Just about). Now all we need to see is some purpose of this flash and a plotline, as it's clear that you can animate and integrate music, so sounds and even voices shouldn't be a problem.

Even if it is only here, the April Fools Day banner of PooGrounds will be immortalised here for all to gaze at in wonder.

Why is the guy riding BlueHippo? Surely that's a little gay.

Rig riding BlueHippo is exactly what it is, Beuaty incarnate.

Yeah, the animation is minimal, but I at least put "some" effort into it. Good news was I didn't once loose interest in the project

[Larry The Knight]

Well designed and presented

This is a nicely made flash that makes me look forward into the next episode. It could have done with more development of the plot, as with the file size, you could have got us to the completion of this tale at the very least.

I think that the character traits have been well explored this time and that you've given us a nice insight into the character of Larry as a whole, with his penchant for talking to himself and passing it off as the horse talking back to him. Mr. Snuggles was a nice addition as well.

I'd like to see how he handles himself in a fight, as he could be super badass, but no-one ever gives him a chance due to his physique and obvious deficiencies socially. Alternatively, he could just suck at that as well, which would be such a cliche :P

Let me know when the next episode is out, I'm interested in finding out the end of the tale.

Cryomancer responds:

We've split the overall story into segments, some are longer than others but honestly we didnt want to commit to much to the first episode as its kind of a pilot.

But now its out, we've started on Larry II and will continue with the 6 episode series.

As for how Larry handles himself in a fight, he certainly brags a lot about how strong he is but seems to lack confidence at times. Either way, he's hunting down the dragon....So we'll see what happens soon enough!

Thanks for leaving a review man, glad you enjoyed it!
