Goatlord's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic X Chaotic Battle]

It's flash over subtance...

But still very good nonetheless. I've never really been a fan of battles and duels unless they were unique and intelligent, and while this movie didn't present anything particularly original or innovative, it was still fun to watch. There's really no clear plot and the inclusion of the Chaos Emeralds and Knuckles' cameo almost seemed random. It was still very well done though, with smooth animation, great lighting and nice use of linear shading. The backgrounds were a bit lacking at times, but that's easily forgiveable, as the intense action was the main draw. It seems to take from Dragon Ball Z, but manages to be much more entertaining and fast paced. I especially like the heavy metal/speed metal music, which fit perfectly with the movie, although the transition from the first song to the second was too abrupt.

[After Effects Of Pierre]

This needs work. A loooooot of work.

For starters, there is NO consitency with either the dialogue OR the artwork. It seems to switch from still photos to hand-drawn. You should really stick with one or the other, or learn to combine them more seamlessly. The dialogue should also be nothing but voice-overs, or nothing but captions. Also, the movie as a whole was very disorienting. The rambling Pierre was difficult to understand and some of Yoda's dialoue went by too fast to read. There's potential here, but the movie as a whole seems to stumble about as drunkenly as Pierre does.

Grizzam responds:

"but the movie as a whole seems to stumble about as drunkenly as Pierre does." haha i love it... A)its all handrawn except for his "hallucination" B)I already asked and am actually waiting until 11pm (my time) to get the guy to do yodas voice so no text at all
C)Pierres french-american, what do you expect?

[HO-NEH]

I've seen a few animutations in my time...

And this is easily the worst. Piss poor, extremely basic visuals that barely went to the music, which was very tame and uncatchy. Nothing about this was entertaining and there's not one redeeming value. Sorry man, but this was a very poor effort.

RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh responds:

Goddammit, extremely basic visuals are the whole point of making an animutation, and what the hell are you talking about? The graphics easily flowed to the music, your computer must just suck ass or something. And don't blame ME for the quality of the song.

[Retarded Animal Babies 4]

Sick, vile and depraved.

And I LOVED IT! A lot of internet cartoons get their laughs by throwing in cheap sex jokes, some T&A, and numerous references to bodily fluids and excretions. Retarded Animal Babies is notorious for that yet manages to be original and entertaining. The cute, adorable character design masks the perverse and deranged humor that lies beneath. This is some seriously sick stuff, and if you're anything like me, you'll eat it up. Great fucking visuals and animation, great sound, great everything! This one is perhaps the best so far, as there are tons of secrets to be found with the TV remote, and the poop-ridden antics of that goddamn Donkey made for some sick laughs.

[Senceliss Violence]

Wow, I haven't seen this before.

Oh wait, I have, about a hundred times. Hey guys, if you want to impress the angsty, pimply faced teenagers who vote high on movies like these, just make sure your Flash movie has the following elements:
1) Simply drawn sticks that punch and kick, among other things, for approximately one to one and a half minutes.
2) Absolutely no substance or progression whatsoever--just sticks fighting.
3) Piss poor backgrounds.
4) Horribly cliched punch and kick sounds that have been used in every single stick/fight movie.
5) Either no dialogue whatsoever, or dialogue that's really unnecessary and would not change the movie a bit if it were done without.
6) Awful, crappy nu metal song that plays in the background and doesn't fit with the movie at all.
Follow my drift here? Stop making fucking stick movies. I don't care if the sticks were animated well, it was stupid.

[Too Short Shorts]

Interesting, if not somehwat pointless.

And slightly retarded. It was kind of odd clicking on a button and seeing the title of a movie, wondering what it was going to be, just to watch some weird man slap himself in the face. But yet it was kind of interesting, because instead of one pointless cartoon, we get FIVE! I'm not being sarcastic here either, it's an interesting concept. These random little shorts leave a lot to be desired, however, as they don't particularly go anywhere or have relevance to anything. You obviously have skill though, both you and your friend (though I can see where some areas need fine tuning). I think if you work on a solid idea, you'll have something with more substance.

leo-2002 responds:

Why thank you, that's the most encouraging review I have gotten yet! I thought this would be an orignial idea, becasue I had 3 short movies on my desktop and I knew if I sent them in one at a time, they would each get blammed. So, I made this movie with a little help from my friend :)

[NG Vs Albino Blacksheep]

What is this?

Come on. Come up with something fucking original. Making the NG logo, a badly drawn sheep and the A&W Bear tween around the screen while a crappy screen grab of the Google start page is just not interesting. This is pathetic and there's no reason it shouldn't have been blammed. I have almost no Flash skills, and I could easily do this in a few minutes. By the way, learn to compress that damn audio.

[Sumo Man + French Fry ep0]

Not bad...too much motion blur though.

To be honest the whole thing was really disorienting. It sort of starts out with all these characters suddenly being thrown into a battle, with no explanation behind it and constantly shifting camera angles that become confusing rather quickly. And like I mentioned in the one line summary, the motion blur effect was exploited perhaps too much in this piece. It was also a bit of a sleeper, as it was mostly devoid of sound and the music was repetitive and didn't fit well. HOWEVER...I do see potential. The visuals are decent (though maybe you should consult that perspective movie on NG so you can draw the buildings with more depth), it was put together surprisingly well and the characters are fairly original. Work on this and I'm sure you'll have something great on your hands.

adam-p89 responds:

Thanks, I'll work on what you've said.

[Dancing Ed!]

Do you have ADD or are you just stupid?

I don't know how the fuck you began animating this, watched your own progress, didn't realize how stupid it was, and actually finished it. Granted, stupid crap can be hilarious, but this is just stupid crap that's hilarious without the hilarity. Follow my drift? It's not funny. And it's not entertaining. You can't keep people interested with a flashing colors movie of a shitty cutout of some random person's head on a shitty looking body bouncing around while arbitrary backgrounds pop up. Absolutely pathetic.

[Evil Baboon]

Unbelievably stupid.

Look at me, I'm antiqkk3, creator of Evil Babboon. All I did was write some horrible attempt at a sentene that's supposed to be a quote from Nostradamus. It's funny. Then I put a chracter with an animated neck tie in a forest background and had a shitty nu metal song play in the background. I'm clever. Can you smell the sarcasm in those last few sentences? That's my interpretation of how the author of this "movie" is probably gloating over it right now. I mean really, what the fuck is this? It doesn't go anywhere. And what the fuck is up with that horribly butchered English at the beginning with that made-up phrase? This is worthless and I don't understand why it's scored so decently.
