bob's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

pretty cool...

points off for some small problems like not matching the blacks in the intro text and the big Hominid screen at the end. little details like that make me whimper like a burnt puppy.

a masterpiece

very mesmerizing. completely entertaining. slightly disturbing.

[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 I liked your unpublished (on NG anyway) 12 days of Christmas better, because it had whimsy.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.

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