Backspin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Fart Button]

Short but effective, I like.

That was swell. I had a good chuckle at the evil-voice masked statements toward the end, and you topped it off well (for me, at least) with the "don't replay" - "YES REPLAY" button. Good job.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Very well thought out, although that's an oxymoron

The quick pace of the movie is what makes it particularly funny. That, combined with the voices that you've come up with, which are excellent, make for a very entertaining few minutes. Well done, well performed, well written (I assume you made a script at some point...)
Great job, very deserving of its score.
The only downside was that it didn't cover the entire game.

[moral sense]

Good, but ending a bit abruptly.

It looked great, and the music was an excellent choice. Your style was awesome (of course, because it's "far east") and there was a great message. I was a bit confused, however, when the can was simply left twirling there on the rock, and I tried playing the movie again to see if I had bugged or something. Besides that though, this was an excellent flash.

[Metal Slug VS Numa Numa 2]

I'm surprised.

It really gets me that this submission is at a rating of 3.78 as of this writing. I mean, yes, numa was out of control, but this... wasn't particularly funny, nor was it particularly relevant (ie. the "Numa Numa" army is nothing more than sprites ripped from other games). I was disappointed, what can i say.

Also, are you not from an english speaking country? If you are (primarily english speaking, i mean), I strongly recommend looking in to a basic literacy course; otherwise, congratulations on being multi-lingual.

[Day in The Life of a Gray]

A good try.

If you were to continue to refine your skills you could turn out some REALLY good flashes. As it stands, this wasn't a chore to watch or anything, so good job.

[Rush 2 ++]

Solid.

definitely nice. Reminded me of opening theme for a tv show, though i don't know if that was the purpose. Had to put sound score low because it doesn't really take anything to put someone else's song in a video. now admittedly you made an excellent choice of the song to use. Good work all around. I would watch a TV with that opening (though preferably not as long).

[Professional Soccer 2]

Interesting style...

I mean, of comedy.. well, the way the players run is an interesting style too... but mostly the comedy. Well scripted, and i thought the voices were well done, regardless of what others say. One thing, and it may just be your style and all, but I would avoid some of the more slapstick style comedy (ie. "What game are we playing?")... on the other hand, the memory sequence with the evil shake was excellent stuff (what can i say, I'm a "Family Guy" fan). Overall, I can't complain, well done.

Renegade-Hamster responds:

I agree with you with the "slapstick" thing. That bit wasn't really meant to be funny, but it was supposed to give the audience a reason to identify with Fleming. Otherwise, they'd just think he was being mean to Brody.

I think from that segment, it's pretty clear Fleming has to put up with Brody's kind of crap EVERY time Bantamshire plays. You can only be nice so many times. Then your patience wears thin.

[Professional Soccer]

Some People Will Never Understand...

and that's why you get reviews from me. Considering the length of time, I think it was very funny, in an awkward sort of way. Well executed, though i think I may have enjoyed the box finding more.

Renegade-Hamster responds:

Haha! I find that strange, but not at all unlikely.

This is not supposed to be a stand alone toon. The only reason for it to be seperated from it's counterpart is because of file size. It merely leads into the next toon. To judge it by itself is not really fair.

[The Real Mortal Kombat 1]

Dry...

I mean, funny, yes... but... alot of the stuff was simply the obvious joke. I dunno... maybe one about sub zero using his freeze powers to make ice cream or something would be funnier... that all just seemed sooo slapstick.

[Siege Outbreak]

Nice!

Great music selection, i must say. the original of that song "lux aeterna" is one of my favourites and i would have hated to see it used poorly. as it stands, it fit very well, and the video itself was extremely well done. great job! make more! (if you have time of course)
