Smoking-Chimney's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 1]

I'm surprised...

Many of the Clock movies are just down-classed because they are following a style that is hated by many. Usually, I find clock movies either diabolical because they have been just strung together quickly, or average entertainment, but this was an exception.

Very good storyline, which made me watch it all, although some could argue it was a bit simplistic, with not much of a plot, but I would say it was an enjoyable story, which all viewers could follow and understand.

The graphics were well thought-out and were not slap-dash in anyway at all, and you continued the 'Clock Crew' style well. I think you have given the Clock image a boost, and people may now respect the name more, because this was a very good, entertaining and interesting Flash movie.

JOKES!

You are one of my fave authors an I was just about to check the credits of 'Up Skit's Creek' to find out what the title of the classical song was with the pope/contraception, and then you submit this, which was pretty hilarious! Love your style and especially the use of sound - but what is that song - the classical one that has the drum? I need to find it! Well done again, and although it's a cliched saying - keep up the good work!

Thus Spake Zarathustra - by Richard Strauss. I've used it in FAR too many movies! It's a piece that no Flash animator should be without.

Good Work

This has fully deserved it's 'review crew pick', and I thought, although I haven't seen the other ones, that this was a good story and well thought out. Congratulations my friend!

Awe-Struck.

This is incredible - the graphics cannot be faulted, the sound is perfect for the movie - it has everything of a quality submission - it has a storyline - and I would happily watch that as a cartoon any day on television - maybe consider a move int o that field - but definitely make a series along these lines. One thing - please, please don't call this -BONES-, because it reminds people of blammable submission names like "_-=*WTF*=-_" and "$"%^*£GOOD". If you renamed it to Bones, it would make a great impression :D

Good first submission...

For a first-timer, this was well thought-out and was a good clay animation. Good luck with your further work...

[Valhalla Knights]

Wow.

That was one of the best animated works I have seen submitted to Newgrounds this year, and ever. I saw this through submission and gave it a 5 and saw it was on 4.9 :D It is well worthy of it's current score of 4.50+ and it's a shame it'll get voted down to the 'no-submissions-can-be-better-than-this' 4.27 area. This is twice, Mr. Granfaloon, that you have scooped all possible awards for your submission this year (the other being 'The Real Legend 2) and have been sitting on top spot of all time. You, in my opinion, have become one of the Newgrounds elite in Flash submissions, and it is about time someone replied with their answer to your incredible pieces. This is also the first 10 I have seriously meant to give to a submission this year, except for 'There She Is - Step 2', and you are well on a par with that. Brilliant - 97%.

Fantastic

That was one of the funniest flash movies I have ever watched here on Newgrounds - well animated, lovely graphics, unique sounds - the only thing that did annoy me was that there was no skip button for the intro - and this may deter some less patient viewers to continue watching through the golden movie. Nice job though :D

As they say in France...

... l'animation c'etait excellente - guess what that means lol... erm but really well drawn and lip sync-ed pretty well, good dialogue with great humour - best 'First Newgrounds Submission' I've seen for a while, and it did have an air of a successful comedy series - make Ep. 1 and Ep.2 of this soon (maybe release them together?) and keep that humour element there, and the nice drawing style - and since you have chosen 'Space' as your setting, there are pretty much endless possibilities for story - very well done, one of my favourite pieces this year, only a few have had it bettered, but perhaps this could grow to be big.... IT RULED! 89%

Uh... "What is 'the animation is excellent'?" Yay! I win. Thank you for the kind words. :)
