Bigfoot3290's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thinking up Flash]

Rad to the Utmost Degree.

I've tried creating a flash with my friend countless times. Each instance, we've achieved nothing, but I never would have thought to make a flash documenting these failures. This was such a fantastic idea, and you guys did an awesome job with the narration and parody aspects. Great work!

Sticky responds:

wow bigfoot, I love your work...

It's funny that people keep saying "guys" when really I voiced both characters...My voice acting must be better than I thought...

anyway thanks for the review!...

[Revenge of the Kongs]

Powerful

Sebastian! Man, for a second there I thought you weren't gonna finish this thing. But hey, you pulled through, and with flying colors I might add.

There were several aspects about this movie that impressed me. For one, the sprites were incrediblely clean, crisp, and well edited. I appreciated the lively backgrounds (especially the lightning towards the end), as they were often animated and did not disregard prespective. I enjoyed the little customs you put in there, and the attention to detail was remarkable.

The menu and scene selection were great additions, as you made them nice and pretty, while keepin' it simple and manuverable.

The voice acting was decent in general. Some parts were excellent while others could've used more work.

The soundtrack was perfect. Selections from Pirates and LotR fit this piece well. You applied loud, fanfare style songs during adventure scenes and slow, sorrowful songs during the more dramatic scenes. Nice picks. Great work here.

There was one aspect that was sort of, well, bittersweet. It seems like the storyline is fairly similar to Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom, except with Kongs, of course. While it's pretty cool to see a simian version of RotMK, it sort of shows a lack of originality. I'm not sure if you were aware of the parallels. Just pointing it out.

Either way, I'm definitely anxious for the second installment. You really did a fantastic job here, and it's great to see you back on NG again. Good luck in the future!

By the way, thanks for putting my name in the credits :D

SebastianLopez responds:

wow, is my grat pal Bigfoot!!
and i totally agree with your comments.
the storyline neds some originality, and some voices are lame (specially by voices XD)

but i really try to fix all those issues in the secuel

Thanks dude your reviews are always useful and your support is awsome!!!

see ya!

[Thundercat: The Movie]

Solid

Very nice job on this! I liked how you incorporated actual CS:S gameplay into the flash. You had some pretty nice animation of top of that, and the synchronization was impeccable. Rocky meets CS? It's a hell of an idea, not to mention a damn good one.

By the way, can you tell me the name of that song that plays at the very end? I've always wanted to know the name of it for downloading purposes :D

Gonna Fly Now - Rocky Soundtrack

Thanks for the good review =)

[Get Your Flash Through!]

Great!

Excellent use of sarcasm! I just hope some of the idiots on here don't actually utilize this as a tutorial ... it'd be red alert in seconds.
Oversized sprite battles and radial gradient stick figures are an everyday sight on NG. I'm actually surprised a flash like this hasn't already been made, so I salute you for finally bringing it to pass. Great work, man. I'll 5 it for ya.

backflipair responds:

hehe thanks.

[Requests#2 - The Internet]

"Oh no! I'm a broken .jpg!"

This was extremely unique. You included some nice drawings and animation. I loved the song in the middle, and when IE got mauled by Firefox.

It shows a whole lot of talent and a hell of an imagination. Overall, it was really cool, in a nerdy kind of way ...

BrerSteve responds:

That's probably the single most complementary review I've had. Bigfoot3290, you're my kind of *pauses a moment to check profile* guy.

[Halloween Critters]

Astounding!

Keicho, this was excellent. Personally, I think it's your best work (MengoMango is a close second). It's one thing to take the time to animate shapes and outlines, but you added about five layers of shading on top of that. The fly spinning to the ground and the Vamp Toad's tongue were two perfect examples of this. I loved how you added the blood fx in slow motion! The plot was highly original, especially considering it's NG.

There's a lot to be admired here. Fantasic job man, and I sincerely hope this is one of the contest winners.

keicho responds:

thank you, i love your mother of all blams flash my dear colleague. It will be a while until I do another flash though..still I will do it! Thanks for the kind review!

[Zelda: Sneaking In]

Nice Job, Man

Same funny style as Link-et, which was a treat for me. I'm glad I found it under judgement, so I could throw in my 5. You got some great voice actors there, and they certainly did justice to the flash. Link and Milo sneaking into a girls' locker room. A simple, yet very effective plot. I enjoyed this one, so keep up the fantastic work LilDwarf :D

LilDwarf responds:

Thanks Buddy! :D Really appreciate my work is enjoyed my many especially very talented animators like yourself ^__^

[Drinking with JFK]

Excellent

That wasn't very far off from the quality of the stuff on TV these days. Brilliant flash. The story was highly entertaining and the animation/art was very clean. You also threw in a good deal of humor, especially "what'd I tell you boys about using that f*cking language?!". I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers!

4.05/5.00, A+, 95/100

BADMAN responds:

Thanks Bigfoot. I like your stuff too.

[World 2-4 Retaliation]

I Don't Know What to Say ...

You know, I really didn't expect a sequel, but this was surely a pleasant surprise. You have topped yourself with this one. It is easily your best flash ever! First of all, that skeleton Bowser is a badass and he was an absolute genius idea. The battle looked like it was straight from an episode of "Mario Brothers" and the ending something out of "Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom". The customs were incredible and they fit perfectly. I began to wonder if I was watching a SMB flash or a Super Smash Brothers flick. I mean, you had low kicks, high kicks, and everything inbetween kicks. Then the Toads of course were done from scratch, and they too, were flawless. I also noticed a great deal of fantastic camera work. You synced it with the music at times, which was great, and the effect you created when jumping out of warp pipes was phenomenal!

In the end, this is one of the best Mario flashes on the site. It is so polished and well crafted, and gives yet another whole new view on the old 1985 title. Psycosis, brilliant work. Let's just hope you can manage a weekly award with something like this. (You also get bonus points for putting my name in the creds)

4.19/5.00, A+, 98/100

Psycosis91 responds:

Thanks a lot for the review. The toad sprites were made very well, by a good friend of mine Velota, who managed to make all these sprites with that one toad sprite in the game. The camera work was one of the main things I tried to focus on, to see if I could make it more interesting with the way I switched from place to place.

I hope I can manage a weekly award as well, the last thing I want to be stuck with is a daily 3rd. Those evil daily 3rd's...


Also, good luck with Dumbass Luigi, I know it's going to be great.
