bob's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stickman gets a beating]

yes indeed

You are right, it did turn out nicely. The video filter makes it pretty slick, and the cut between shots was well done.

Headbanger15 responds:

thanks ^_^

[A Day Of Tim Miller]

artwork awesome, plot sketchy?

Among other things, I don't understand why Tim chases Tom when Stamper knocked his coffee? Is this a ploy to encourage repeat viewing? If so, it worked. Those square faces are adorable and I could watch them all day.

maxvm responds:

That's the point of Operation Angry Tim; Tim only goes after Tom! And thanks for liking my style, I'll try to work on plot lines because this was based on all that reverse psycology.

[[STAIN]]

fan-fucking-tastic

Really interesting. I can't say that I'd like to see more like this because I think one is enough. Though I will check out your other stuff now in the hopes that you have some conventional fare as well. If not, maybe in the future.

Did you show this to your family? It might scare them but if they can appreciate art in any form then you should give it a shot.

Best stick movie I've ever seen.

ReZTeR responds:

Erm, I showed my older brother, he is quite open minded, generally he didn't get what I was doing but he is supportive in whatever I do. I haven't shown my parents though, their reaction would probably be to laugh at it and say that I'm stupid and funny, generally they don't appreciate art, but it's cool that they are always behind me in whatever I do. Thanks for your kind words though =] I appreciate it.

[TANKMEN .5]

my god...

I HATE finding out about these things through the grapevine! (If you can call reading The-Swain's reviews a vine.)

Anyway. It was awesome. Love the new/old characters, how you rolled them into one. I did notice a lot of smoking humor, is that because we're putting out a smoking T-shirt or was it coincidence or did you just draw inspiration from that design?

I'm a huge fan of developing characters by pulling back layers at a time. Most of my favorite movies do it in some fashion, and it was really cool to see that in play here as well. Amazing how you're able to give these black-and-white characters personalities with a little voiceover and avoiding complex animation scenes.

Well, that's enough knob-slobbing for one day. See you tomorrow.

JohnnyUtah responds:

dont make me blush you son of a gun

[Taxi]

had to turn it off halfway through

The art was cute, the animation was more than acceptable, but the one thing I couldn't stand was not being able to hear the vocals. So I turned it up a little bit and BLAM-O My earbuds explode when the poppy music comes on. Ouch.

aap responds:

And that's why you gave it a 4? :/ That really makes me kinda sad. :(

But I think it is not my fault you couldn't hear the vocals, everyone else seemed to do... I really don't know where you're talking about with poppy music?

Oh well, thanks for your review.

[The Holiday Road]

good xmas card, average overall movie

It's a little too happy for my taste. The scream and other sounds you used are hilarious, though i don't think you intended them to be? And some of jokes were a little too knee-slapping for me. A good beginner flash, which is a shambe because you've been doing this for soooo long. I liked your unpublished (on NG anyway) 12 days of Christmas better, because it had whimsy. This was a great family Xmas card, but too slow paced to be much more than that. Needs to be edgier to suit me.

paulzak responds:

Bob--my style can not suit everyone, i appreciate your honesty. I can't help that you don't have any taste!

[Rube Goldberg Balloon Pop]

not bad.

The art could be a little better next time, and why is that one ramp covered in gasoline? Something you forgot to implement?

Alexnotsr responds:

The ramp is covered in gasoline so that the ball will turn into a fireball when it goes up against that candle. You do know this equation, right?
Blazing Inferno = fire + gasoline

[How 2 Succeed on NG]

Fuck the police, fuck 'em.

Awesome song choice at the end? But I digress...

Hilarious stuff. Almost did a spit-take with my beer at that "five light sources being reflected by the eyes at all times" bit. Rock.

BiffTheTimid responds:

I almost did a spit take when I saw your review, and it would be a damn shame if I wasted a Lionshead, the new king of beers.

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 089]

not good

Just because this review is negative doesn't make it abusive:

Seriously not good. These non-animated submissions are awful and test everyone's patience. It's submissions like this that make Kongregate look better and better, while making NG look more and more like myspace.com.

The sad part is that you know just how bad these are. Glad you're having fun at least.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Congratulations on being able to write a borderline review.

When reviewing try to stay on the subject of the flash.

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 081]

Soooo boring.

I really wish you'd learn to animate. You've got a sense of humor but waste it with this tripe.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Shame to see a member of staff leaving an abusive review.
