Ransom's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MK vs. SF 3]

Wow...

That was really good. Your graphical skills are outstanding. I really liked the GUI, and you handled the sprites really well. I can't pick a fault with this, there was even a decent story to go with it.

Congratulations.
All you need to do is sort out some Extras (it's empty!) and it'll be perfect. :)

[SAW 3: Body Chains]

Hmm

I'm really sorry, but I have to review this in a negative light.

I am a huge fan of the SAW movies, so I was very interested in viewing this, and had high hopes.

Unfortunately it let me down. The first sign of disappointment was at the beginning, where you've voiced over "Hello newgrounds public". You could have at least used a sound editor to make your voice deeper. It just seemed really silly and couldn't be taken seriously.
The placement of music was pretty poor too. It didn't seem to flow, and was interrupted by new streams of music at different points.
The whole style of the editing just seemed very low-grade and could have been vastly improved.

However, you didn't do such a bad job on the modelling and animation. The room in which the scene was set was actually quite impressive.

So to conclude, your claymation is pleasing, but sadly let down by your unpolished Flash editing. Practise a bit more with that, and maybe even look up some tutorials on hoiw to improve it, and you'll end up with a great result.

["Paralyzed" Collaboration]

Erm

The animation on this was simply terrible, I honestly don't know why this has got such a high score. Some of the 'artists' in this collab simply couldn't even draw. It looked terrible. And why the hell was there a Mario sprite section? It looked so out of place and horribly awkward.

One of the worst collabs I have ever seen.
Kudos to Slick, however, on his part.

[Killing Spree VI - Teaser]

uh

...

Okay, so it's now August of 2006. Where the fuck's the movie?

[Jeremie's MARIO]

Yay!

I was expecting to see another typical sprite movie. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for that.

The drawing was unique, the animation was good, and I particularly liked the way you showed your own take on the Mario world. An enjoyable viewing.

To the reviewer below me, it's not the song that cuts off early. It's because your computer is a little slow that the animation lasts a bit longer than it should. The music was actually on time.

[Super Sprite Bros Melee 2]

No.

That was simply very dull. The pacing was awful - it takes ages to watch the leaderboard, and then you have a fight that is even shorter than that. Plus the fights alone were incredibly mundane - there were no new ideas or exciting moves taking place. Very plain.

Do some brainstorming and when you've got a fast-paced, action-packed, innovative movie, submit it.

[Sonic: Nazo Unleashed Pt1]

Aww.

Yeah not bad, but I felt constantly irritated throughout the movie. Having the disclaimer at the start saying how it wasn't like DBZ, and then to watch something that was so blatantly DBZ-esque really grated me. The world of Sonic may be Anime-orientated these days, but not to the extent that DBZ goes to.
So I guess it just annoyed me that you were in denial of it.

The drawing is very good though, well done. Plus the voiceovers were nice. I'm not sure if some of them were taken from the games, but it doesn't really matter, because they worked well anyhow.

I'm off to watch Part 2 now. I hope there's no denial in this one. :)

[Snakes on a Plane-TRAILER]

Hooray!

Wow. In the jungle of terribly poor parodies that Newgrounds is, your one was a saving grace. You have a knack for comedy. The timing was spot on, and the jokes themselves were not the obvious ones that people often sadly choose to use.
I'm going to watch all your other Flash movies now, and I hope to be as pleased with them as I was with this. Please continue to make more.

[Goth Lyfe 8: Goth Test]

Ouch.

That was painful to watch. Your drawing and animation is simply terrible. Practice some more before you make more cartoons. The voice acting was just as bad. You need to move your mouths away from the microphone, because you're causing clicks and spots in the sound. Don't breathe onto it. Oh yeah, and your voices were really annoying, because they were so high-pitched that I swear a dolphin just crashed through my window because it mistook your cartoon for a mating call.
To finish off, there was no humour involved at all. I didn't even crack a smile once. You suck.

[Salad Fingers Episode 6]

Oh dear lord.

David, you've done it again.
Shame the Newgrounds kids have already kicked in with their stupidity. They should make a test for people before they are allowed to vote, to see if they have a high enough IQ to be making any judgements.
