RonaldRaven's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Void I]

The makings of an epic...

This is perhaps the best flash film to arise from the Newgrounds and "Portal" sub-culture that I've seen in quite some time. The Clock Crew and the NG Portal have developed their own persona, and to fans of NG, this movie has plenty of inside jokes and NG-specific themes to satisfy them. Also, from an art and animation standpoint, this was done very cleanly and creatively. Also, the music really adds to the experience and transitions were smooth. The voices and personas of the various characters were very well done parodies. Excellent work. I am looking forward to seeing the next part and seeing what the "Color Clocks" will do in the future.

Best Counter-Strike parody out there

Having played Counter-Strike, I'd have to say that this series (hopefully this will become a series) is one of the funniest and, surprisingly, most accurate depictions of Counter-Strike "culture" on the web. The whole idea of CS hacking was portrayed very well. The ending was as crazy as I could have hoped for and the dialogue was all very good.
You could definitely work on cleaning up the artwork/animation and fixing the dozens of typos and grammar problems in the text, but the story and use of sound is excellent. Keep making more.

Good series

Funny, good story, and the 3D animation was pretty sweet. Keep it up.

[Idiot Ninja's 2]

Not bad.

Hey, this is turning out to be a pretty good series. Overall, the movie isn't too bad, although the animation could use a little work. Other than that, I enjoyed it. The way you ended the fight scene was pretty funny. It will be interesting to see the next one.

Story-telling at its finest

No action, no violence, but plenty of good plot and story-telling techniques. Great job. I wish I could see movies like this more often. It's a good change of pace from a majority of what people try to make with sprite movies. Oh, and one more thing. I know this is a relatively minor detail, but after frequenting Newgrounds for a long while, it is something I really appreciate: you spelled everything correctly! It really takes away from the professionalism of a movie when every other word is spelled wrong. I mean, a typo every now and then is ok, but...Well, I didn't have that problem, here. Again, great job. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Im actually horrible at proper grammer. The Special Thanks seen in the credts goes to the 2 spellcheckers who hated to see the typos and have helped plenty with the last few movies. But thanks all the same ^^

That was some good animating

Hey, those were some really good animation effects, there. It must have been especially hard since it looked like you drew that 360-degree rotation by hand. Also the timing with the music was great. There wasn't any story, but I guess it didn't really need one. I also liked your overall style as far as artwork and use of colors, etc.
One minor detail, like the last reviewer said, you paid special attention to drawing the bullet casing being ejected from the gun, but the close-up of the bullet had the bullet casing on it. Well, it didn't really take away impact of the movie, so don't worry about it.
Also, you should have an option, at the end, to replay the movie from the beginning of the gun fight sequence as well as an option to replay the entire movie. It was ok to see the beginning the first time, but it's kind of slow the second time around.
That's all I got. Great job and keep it up!

[The old TN episode 2.2]

That was friggin' hilarious!

Hey, this series is some pretty good stuff. It's a lot more creative than a majority of what you see Newgrounds. The jokes are all done very well, and the voice-acting is great. Keep it up!

We will with fans like you

[Smiley MasterpieceTheater]

Whoa, good stuff.

That movie was really a lot of bang for the buck. The file is about 1.3 megs, but it was LONG. And furthermore, it was really funny. It was a clever and unique idea, and it was well executed. What is perhaps the most extreme of the short films, entitled "Poop", made me laugh hysterically. Good work!

[Link's Quest For Ass]

Yeah, that was funny

This was friggin' hilarious. I haven't seen a Flash movie, or really anything, this funny in a long time. You are a comic genius. Good work. Make more.

[Joe Zombie :: Episode 4b]

Great movie

The animation was excellent, the action was intense, and the music was practically perfect. What more could I ask for?
