Decky's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Meatball Baby]

A simple yet funny short, one of those ideas that for me was a "why didn't I think of that?" moment. The writing can't be faulted but the animation at times was slow and seemed to drag on a bit, for example when the meatballs start to go into the babies mouth, that could have done with being a second or so shorter. All these little cuts here and there would have made it more snappy and in my opinion funnier.

I would also have liked to see more time gone into detailed drawings. The baby was ok (although it looked very pale and almost like some kind of sick dead baby joke in bits), the dad on the other hand has an arm coming out of where it shouldn't.

I do like this movie but if just a little more time had done into it I'm sure it could have been much better because you started with a great idea.

Thanks for your great review! I'm glad you liked the story and I can see now what you meant with the dragging, it's one of those things you are blind to when you're making something and see only when some time has passed.

[ASHTRAY]

For this review I've done it properly, sat down with some popcorn and completely zoned out into the animation, which is very smooth and can't really be faulted but I wasn't the biggest fan of the art work, it seemed rushed and with little detail.

Another point I would like to bring up at this point is the looping which as I'm writing this is driving me insane and making me mute my laptop, it really needs to be changed so that it comes to a stop with a replay button. The last thing I will point out is that I really haven't a clue what is meant to be the point of this little tale, maybe some more time at the writing stage would have done it some good.

Pepeto responds:

Thanks for this review too :) I have to admit I totally forgot to add the loading and play -buttons for this one as I just wanted to get over with uploading animation here as fast as I could. I'm thinking of adding them later when I have some time for it.

I really want to give this at least one star because I rarely ever give no stars but I'm sorry it hasn't done anything to deserve one. Maybe if it was longer then a couple of seconds or had something other then a little bit of text and an explosion that was more predictable then the whole Ricky Martin being gay thing.

The things that you could do to improve it would be to simply go back to the drawing board and thinking of a decent idea. Even for a Clock Crew flash this really did suck.

Alphaman responds:

Watch my other movies then.

[Happy Plane]

I was only thinking the other day that I hadn't seen a new flash from TheWeebl in a while and here is one.

Well, naturally it gets a high score. It's a bit different from the others that I've seen and it seems to have some kinda cute mixed with dark feel to it which I like. Can't really think of anything big that could have been improved on other then I don't think the sky worked with the cartoony style of the plane and panda. It's a small thing.

Gotta love TheWeebl

[FFIV: The Big Game]

Well it's a Clock Crew flash, what can I say? I find it hard to review Clock flashs as rarely any real effort has gone into them. This one is not a real exception. It wasn't the worst drawn I've seen but if a few different views were used it would have made the drag of it less boring and more humorous.

Clock Crew flashs can be really good but this isn't one of them.

The Clock Crew <3's you, Decky. {{{}}}

[Busser: Episode 1]

It's kinda of a hard one to judge because on the one hand I think it's interesting and drawn really well but the silence is deafening (if you catch my drift). Don't get me wrong I think having no voice acting and subtitles is a good concept but it at least needs background music or something.

It's well written, kinda funny and a good idea. If only it had some form of audio.

[Unicorn crap!]

I really enjoyed this animation. The way that many different styles were incorporated and the various ways that the general trippy theme was expressed show a good creative skill in the author. It also makes me want to try some unicorn crap, so sad that they don't exist for me to nibble on their excrement.

The only aspect of the flash that I would have improved upon myself would have been both the audio quality of the voice acting and the lip syncing of the unicorn at the end. Other then that I can't fault it.

[Rubert da Koopa]

A really cool, well thought out and unique consept for a flash. One of those ideas that once you've seen it you can't help but feel annoyed that you didn't think of it yourself.

As always the animation quality is great with well drawn backgrounds and superb voice acting. Literally couldn't be improved. In one sentence a perfect short.
