GloineFiodh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zone of the Awesome]

Very funny.

For someone who hasn't played the game, I can tell you I understood this, and that this was enjoyable for me. I'm glad this got front page, it gives Newgrounds the variety it needs. Your animation was very 'awesome-like' and funny. I was skeptical that such an unknown game would make a stupid awesome parody, but this turned out to be excellent. Keep up the good work. Good Luck.

Galneda responds:

I'm very happy I could exceed your expectations...I hope I can do it again with what's coming next! Thanks for the review!

[The Alcyone Incident]

I can see the effort you put into this.

This is very well done. You can tell you put a lot of thought into the whole thing, so I recommend expanding on the idea of the story. First I watched it, then read your comments about it, so it didn't quite click that there were meant to be three clear personas, the idiot, the workhorse, and the thief type. I would elaborate on that, but otherwise, this was surprisingly engaging if you have an open mind. The animation was spot-on. The voicing was really well done, and the poem narrarated in the background really sets a great overall mood that drives the story. I enjoyed the camera most of all though. The way you set it up to create the scenes, showing how the protagonist takes cover, it was very well done. This especially shines through in the last scene. Keep up the great work. Good Luck, do more stop motion.

VillainousTurtleSLC responds:

Great, informative, and constructive. Thank you.

[COGS OF WAR 2]

Awesome

But where is the first? I remeber watching the first then looking for it but couldn't find it. Maybe you took it off. But great graphics, great humor, great animation. An all around good flash. Thanks for the laughs.

JohnnyUtah responds:

you can google it

[V Timelapse]

I liked it.

Largely because I love the movie. But the actual flash was lacking. You had a really good premice, but when making a time lapse, it requires little animation. Therefore, the final product should be much more detailed then what you provided us with. Overall, just work on the artwork, you had a really great idea though with the timelapse playing over the audio. Good luck.

liable-to-explode responds:

thanks a lot!

[Welcome To The Machine]

Well

Glad to see more classic rock music videos. Some complaints would be is that it seems your trying to avoid animating, but it could just be your style. I really do like the drawings you have, really abstract stuff. Every scene I saw, I didn't like, until I saw it unfold, which was awesome. Like the heart getting the wires plugged into it, looked so boring, but then you zoom out and its a web of them, really cool. Same with the stars, how they spun, it was just really well thought out, I'd just add more plot and animation, but really good stuff, glad to see a fellow flash artist use more classic rock. Keep it up, good luck!

cheshirecat1582 responds:

I did that on perpious actually... I wanted to try something completely different!! I have animated before... FBF animated... but this time I thought a simple shapes approach would be best... You have to love the classic Rock!!! I mean its Classic right lol!!! from your review I thought you would be giving me a 5 or something but Im glad you kept your attention enough to stay with it and give me an 8!! With in my book Is pretty good! So Thank you For your honesty... I learn from it quite a bit!!!

[EX-Ken vs. Akuma]

Not Bad.

It was pretty good. I really enjoyed the animation, but it was clear that you got some of your inspiration from MK v SF. This bothered me slightly because some scenes looked like you took an idea from MK v SF and put it in your own flash without changing it or modifying it at all. Other then that, the animation was excellent, and the fight was entertaining. Just try to not overuse slow motion, and don't make your characters use such cool moves with the lightning right in the beginning, try to hold out. Good Job.

azn-sk8er-dude responds:

I don't know how I got any inspiration from him in the animation, but I did to start animating.

[Super Mario Invaded]

It was good.

The sprites were animated really well, and your attempts at new camera angles were noticed and appreciated because it brought something new, but other then that, I've seen the premise before. I really liked the variety you have with characters, (TMNT and DD), but would like to see more of that and more originality in the next, (please put Chrono in). It looks like it will be promising and more entertaining in next installments, but try to mix the plot up and keep those fluid animations and good sprites. I also saw the glitch with luigi at the end. Good Luck!

sleeeeep responds:

yeah expect a buttload more characters in the next one and as for the camera angles i gotta switch it up so it isnt all still shots while they are busy yapping

[Xionic Madness 1.5]

Impressed.

It was weird to see a lot of the stuff I think of in your flash. Like the chainsaw sword and what not. The first one didn't captivate me as much as this one, but one thing I didn't like what was the animation. The drawings and character design were excellent, but some of the animation wasn't so great, probably because Krinkles mastered it and I'm used to his animation. Still, nice job, captivating story, great ideas and new concepts. Just try to smooth up your animation. Can't wait for Madness 08.

Xionico responds:

thanks :D

[Ghost Out Part 3]

I'm shocked.

It was so good, and I'm surprised this came out! This inspired me to animate. I loved the first 2 and the third is just as good if not better. Your writing, animation and color scheme combined with the cliche dialogue is a surefire win. I hope to see this win some awards and go onto the front page. One complaint is to make it longer! I know that it was already a good length, but at the end, I had felt like not to much happened. Keep them coming please! This was excellent.

RedMongoose responds:

I really would have loved to have made it longer but my computer was starting to slow down horribly just from working on this one. Thanks for the review I'll get started on part 4 right away.

[Leo Hates Me]

It was ok.

It didn't really make sense to me. Drawings were good, and animation was ok. Keep animating though, you'll get used to it. Next time, add sound effects and make the plot a little more obvious. Try something thats easier to follow. Overall, not good, not horrible.

zombiecatfire13 responds:

ok. but, it was, like, supposed to be really random, so, yay?
