margarine's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Worms]

that was nice

I just felt you could have had more worms saying stuff. Maybe some star wars quotes sped up and intermingled with the usual worms banter. But I enjoyed it anyway. I can appreciate how long this must've taken you.

[Over There: Segment 5]

yay, transformation

The car/spaceship bit was great. One thing puzzles me; where was the sunrise(set) you talked about in the preloader? Did you drop it? Or have I blinked and missed it?
Whatever, that was a great series. Do an 'Over There 2'! Is that too much to ask?

Dustball responds:

It was the opening shot of segment 1. (In case you missed it, this entire movie is actually in 5 segments, be sure to watch them all!)

[Negative 001 - The Call]

ohwow

That was much better than I thought it would be. The only way I can describe it was...natural. The dialogue fitted, none of your lines were forced or cliched like you tend to get with work like this. The voice acting was great. The character movement was spot on.
I can't fault this. At all. Bring on episode 2!

[Over There: Segment 3]

wooargh

You jokes are so bad :D Animation = great. Sound = great. Humour = cheez. I like it!

[Fatal French Fry]

hello

that was good! You lost marks cos of picture/sound quality, but I could still see that it was a solid piece of work. Very good animation, specially when the car went over the cliff, and the character movement.
4/5

[The Alien Bit]

*boom*

Hey, that was good. I really liked the way you animated the aliens. And the upside down view of earth was pretty clever too. And the effects at the end...what can I say? Just...indescribable...

[Tom Cruise Gets Wet!]

haha

I think the only jerk here is Tom Cruise. Jeez man, take a joke. It was a shame you couldn't get the sound file without all that crowd background noise. I think maybe you should've voiced it yourself. His voice isn't hard to replicate when it's just three words.
Great graphics though.

[Len - ep. 1 - part 2/2]

dum dum

Those little robot spider dudes reminded me of some monsters on the recent doctor who :P. I know you were setting the scene and everything, post apocolyptic world etc, but just a little more action before the end would really have lent the 'to be continued' more impetus.
Also, if it was ORIGINALLY done in flash, why didn't you just send the swf file? There was a lot of detail that you couldn't appreciate as much cos of the fuzzy quality.
Still, some wicked smart skills you got there. Hurry up with part deux

RonaldRaven responds:

yeah, we had originally scripted and storyboarded a rather large action scene, but we literally ran out of time and couldn't do it since we had project deadlines to worry about. Our future work will be deadline free, so hopefully we won't have cop out endings like this. Glad you liked it, though.

[Transitions (Star Wars)]

bullullullullu

oh my god oh my god oh my god, you had a character called Smythe and my second name is Smythe oh my god oh my god I love you

Brand-new-hero responds:

for the masses lol. And those called smythe! Rock on you guys. J
