Bigfoot3290's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Sign Of Happiness]

Terribly Bizzare

As a general rule, anything that makes me laugh-out-loud automatically receives a 10. Truthfully, out of 100 submissions, I usually only laugh at one or two of them - yours was a prime example. The ending nearly had me in tears, and the whole premise of the flash was just so incredibly strange. It was like the movie itself had an extra arm or something. Sick stuff. Fantastic work.

You sound stranger than I am.

Bravo!

Upon finding out that a soccer flash had made it into the Weekly Top 5, I knew I had to check it out for myself. As a big fan of the beautiful game, and with a severe lack of soccer related flashes on Newgrounds, I had high hopes, and you did not disappoint.

The story started off on the cheesy side, although, I suppose that was partially intended. However, the flash quickly made a 180 from what seemed to be a campy, sci-fi adventure to a dramatic tale of perseverance. You highlighted this theme wonderfully in the scene where he deletes his text message to his trainer, and defiantly chucks his cell phone off the cliff. The soundtrack that you selected also complemented the theme throughout, and functioned to further bolster the main idea of the story. By the end, I felt that small dose of remorse for the protagonist - a concise testament to a well-told story and an equally well-made flash.

As far as improvements are concerned: my only initial gripe was the graphics. I thought they were nothing beyond average at first, but then I began to realize how well you animated them (especially during the actual soccer game) and how consistent your style was. By the end, I was rather fond of the visuals.

Great work!

Beautiful and Heartening

It's funny. I normally hate anime, and I'm typically more fond of action or comedy flashes, but MAN! This really got me (in a non-teary, macho sort of way, of course). Really great stuff - I thought you spent the perfect amount of time building up the story, and at the same time, you didn't give the ending away. It was completely unexpected and completely charming. Great job! [5/5]

Oh, thank you! ^_^ Haha it means a lot, I'm glad you liked it so much!

[As I Am]

Great

You did a fantastic job on this, Pepijn. Like you mentioned in your comments, you recreated a fairly common scenario - one that many of us can relate to. Your interpretation was touching, and the soundtrack you used really brought the flash to life. To top it off, your animation and graphics (especially the walk cycle) were quite good.

Everything said above helped make this flash more than just some sappy love story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent work!

Where's yo' corners, Boy?!

Loved it. Swain, that was ridiculous. Awesome southern accent and hilarious dialogue! I don't know if this is Shape Day or whatever, but you're on top of it so far.

Perfect Satire

Any flash that makes me laugh out loud will almost always receive a 10 from me. I couldn't get enough of your sarcastic narrartion, as you shed light on some of the hideous truths of Newgrounds. Your arguments were effective, and moreover, your amusing drawings strengthened your points. I had a great laugh when you mentioned "the fucking gay curve," as I always thought it looked more like a violin or guitar than a person's profile. You're correct too of course - a bendy cock and hairy sac would fit perfectly with those facial features.

Excellent job, man. I really enjoyed this one. [5/5]

[Thwomps: The Movie]

Whoa ...

This is raising the bar quite a bit as far as sprite flashes go. I really enjoyed the 3D effects, the fire, the voice acting, hell everything man. Besides your increasing expertise with sprites and movement, your style of humor has improved tremendously. Not to say you weren't funny before or anything, but your jokes are wittier and more creative. Just stopping by to say congrats. Possibly the best sprite flick out there.

Psycosis91 responds:

Thanks a lot man, it still means a lot to me when you enjoy my movies after all this time. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I can't wait for your next movie, it feels nice to get this kind of reception you got too used to for the Super Mario Land series. ;D

I Enjoyed This

Although short, this movie was extraordinarily stylish and it was animated with excellence. I can't quite determine what caught my attention besides the graphics (I consider them partially superficial), but from the looks of your "Author's Comments", you've been doing this for quite a while. It shows.

[nockFORCE Quickie #3]

Pretty Good

I really enjoyed the style you came up with here. The graphics were close to excellent, and they had a nice, cartoony appearence. The "I'll barf on trains forever" line really got me. You developed this one nicely and it was a job well done overall. Funny stuff, man.
