sickfish's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rocket Crotch]

So awful it's great!

After watching some complete floaters newly submitted to the Flash Portal this week this one really made me laugh. The graphics were great and the story was pretty good too (although a little weird). I suspect the authors were taking the mick out of some Anime that I've witnessed but who cares - it really kept me entertained for the whole thing. :)

The only thing that let the movie down was the voice acting. The dialogue had me in stitches on occasion but I think getting someone else to do some of the voices would have improved things no end - unless the voice actor learns to do some clearly different voices.

The volumes seemed to keep jumping too. Perhaps running all the audio through a normalisation process could help there.

All in all - watch it! It's great!

rocket crotch is sort of a parody of every superhero type of storytelling, this includes both 'cape comics' and japanese stuff like dragonball Z, power rangers etc

[For the Love of Leek]

Nice smooth animation but dull

My first reaction when I looked at this was, "What the hell?"
I don't really get the reason why the leek and other thing (let's say for the sake of argument that it was a turnip) have a clock for an eye (I guess they were eyes - they were blinking) or why the turnip was frothing at the mouth.

Nice song - and I can kind of see the animation was related to that, but the whole thing seemed to be turnip and leek sat there blinking and frothing with thought bubbles over them. If they were actually doing something together - instead of the same short looped animation it might have held my attention longer.

I'm guessing that maybe this was based on previously established characters that I've never seen before but I can only judge this on its own merits.

But then maybe I have a very short attention span. :)

Thanks for the review, I admit I should have done more in the background, but it was suppose to be a rather relaxed animation and it's really my first attempt at a semi-decent flash. If you watch my other movies you'll understand what I mean by serious.
