Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kos! Madness]

Funny, but...

I think that a little more could have been made from the madness inside jokes, especially with the stereo. Getting the birdie song redux going and the madness starting from there would have been hilarious.

With the communicator, there wasn't any disruption on the pictures of Onions and Snowballs - making it look a little more like it was from Metal Gear would have been great. The little details make the piece that much more enthralling.

Still, it was funny, with the gag of the teddy bear and the way that you put your own twist on Madness, so don't think I'm being totally negative. It's just that I feel a little more input gets a lot more output.

OnionsXD responds:

Ah yeh, disruption and fuzzies would have been a nice touch...
I'll be sure to do that if I ever do something like this again. XD

Thanks for the extensive review. :D
I really appreciate it. :))

[Skeleton Walk Loop]

Simple and effective

While this piece is an interesting one, I feel that you need to take it slightly further and make a series about this skeleton, kind of like how they did for Hypnotoad in Futurama.

The animation seems kind of loose for a skeleton, but without all of that supporting tissue, you would expect some problems to get in the way here and there. Maybe it's just the outlines that make it seem like the forearms are bending as the skeleton moves them?

The music was a good choice and the background sure does give you a headache after a short while, so I guess congratulations are in order for that.

TheBoogley responds:

excellent review! I did make the forearms bendy, I couldn't resist. Your suggestion is tempting, but I don't this skeleton will be reappearing any time soon... :)

[Troll Science Cartoon #1]

Nice

I think it could do with a voice, but other than that, this seems to be a little basic. I know trolls out there that would get $110 out of this scheme. Simply touch her breasts with the troll's face and then get the $100 from the other guy as well. Troll saves $10 for not having to pay to feel the woman's boobs.

I guess that you got your inspiration from the troll physics thread on the BBS, so there are plenty more inspirations there for you to have a go at. If you can make a short series of these, I'd be really interested to see what you can come up with.

The way that the troll's "hands" seem to be shoelaces, it makes me a little uncomfortable, as there is little time spent on that part of the animation, so it takes a little something away from the piece.

you're the king of troll, sir.
Thx for review, i take your remarks.

[MvC3: Iron Man]

Tony Stark :3

Wow, what a reception this game will get if the gameplay is half as good as the cartoons. It's the series we love to meh, Marvel Vs. Capcom and the horrendously convoluted "what if" scenarios that come with.

I love how you've captured the essence of Downey Jr's Stark and have also gone the way of the womanising. A shame that you couldn't have included Pepper Potts though, as we all know that he's in love with her... well, as much as you can be, when you're in love with yourself.

The sitting down in the armchair with his boots off was genius, though I'd have said the idea of the steaming boots lying to the side of the chair would have been slightly more appealing, though I do know that in your style, less is more.

The way that you've considered the muffling sound of the visor being down as well, just shows how genius this understated little piece is.

thanks breh

[Castlevania Rave Remix]

Wow, that was awful

You've made a half-decent loop, then added no animation to it, to try and get more of a boost for your audio. The effort would be commendable, if you'd made an animation, as opposed to some looping graphics that consisted of a one colour background that changes from time to time, while the text in front pulses, possibly in time with the music, but I couldn't begin to try and follow that.

Seriously, if you want some acclaim for your animation skills, try setting something up where you have an animation of maybe someone dancing, some sort of interpretation of the music going, rather than just a flashing background. The only thing you seem to have interpreted here is the program's name - Flash. It does do other things, you know.

More effort required all around.

This movie was made in 8 minutes, so why are you taking it so seriously?

[February Letter]

Racism with a bow on it.

Wow, it's so polite, it's funny. The fact that Black people are probably the most racist people I know ("I'm not racist, look at the colour of me!") just makes this even funnier.

Yes, it's Black History Month, where all of White America (or at least those in power) try to look sympathetic to something that they couldn't do, but their ancestors did and had they had the chance to, would probably have done, except it was made illegal.

I'm not a fan of making a big thing out of all of this. Sure, there is a time and a place for it, in history lessons and books, so that we learn from the mistakes of the past, making the future a better place to be. The animation itself could have been a little better - have you considered annotating this piece with pictures, or even some animation of its own, as opposed to just the text being written? What about a pencil that moves and writes these words that are being said?

The voice was pretty good and with that, comes the fact that your animation does let it down a little, but with practice, you can improve what you've got here, no problem.

Krutches responds:

thank you for the review, I was going to add a hand and pencil that moves where the letters are written, but I just was lazy. I think that this would've been a better audio submission then Flash video, since my animation for this was done quickly.
Thank you for the review! Best one I have ever recieved.
