BiffTheTimid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cotton Roots]

I've missed you man....

It's been way too long. I can see you've greatly improved your flash skills. Awsome movie. Not the best piece of flash in the world, but it was very entertaining, and pretty funny. Sweet shit, make more as fast as possible, and for fucks sake (or fuck sakes, I never really knew which one it is), finish Keeblur 2.

[Zelda Heroic Rage 3]

Reeking of mediocrity

I'm glad you have the patience to draw actual characters, rather than using sprites or sticks. However, your drawings, with a few exceptions, were misproportioned and stiff. The animation was choppy, and you recycled certain animations a few times. The sound was very poor, and the backrounds were blaind and dull. Also, the concept of "Heroic Rage" just seems extremely cheesy to me. I can't really explain why at this moment, but there's just something that tells me that heroic rage just isn't right. Also, you gave Zelda a huge rack. That wouldn't be so bad, but you had her breasts where her stomach should be. Good effort though. I did enjoy it, and I did like the choices you gave, though they weren't as graphically intense as I had hoped for. I suggest you work on drawing things in proportion, find away to animate more smoothly, get better music, learn to draw more vivid and detailed backrounds, and most importantly, come up with a concept that isn't retarded.

SolidSacketh responds:

I'll work on that stuff...I am still in the process of learning good art, and animation. Thanks for all the insight.

[The Mattress Resprung 1/2]

Monkey Mofo

Well, the drawings were childish, and the animation was sub-par, but the concept and humor were well developed. It was genuinely funny, and the scenes you spoofed from the movie were well chosen. Some of the parts didn't really make much sense, like the the lube part. Work on your art and animation skills and I could see you going some places. Peace, I'm out.

SeanSullivan responds:

I'm sick of all of these people expecting all flash movies to be good looking and animated well. It's that reason alone why some flash movies over here aren't even noticed because it has crap animation, but the story or the humor is 10x better then some of the stuff that's on the front page.

But, again, I'm ranting. Sorry.

[How To Raid A Bank]

Yeah "nigga", "fo shizzile"

Yo nigga dat wuz off da hook.... er, wait, I'm not black, and neither was the last reviewer I'm betting. Anyways, that was a pretty decent movie. You should have spend a bit more time on making your characters in proportion, and maybe a bit of time on some music or maybe some better sound effects. It was pretty funny, and the concept was good. If you just put a bit more time into your movie though, it would be cash money, "nigga what".

[Broken Saints 24 Trailer]

Well Drawn

I would hardly call it animated though. It's more of a comic with a few short clips of tweening to express movement here and there. I think it would be much better if it were just a comic, rather than a flash movie. There is no doubt that you guys can draw though. Though the characters don't seem too interesting from what I've seen, they look very good. As for the content of the Broken Saints comic, I can't say I'm too impressed with it, regardless of all this "Critical Acclaim". I saw the first three chapters, and though they were mildly amusing, there wasn't anything special or exciting. I expect the last chapter will have made a good deal of improvements since the beggining, but even still, I'm more excited by a dentist appointment than this final chapter.

[Village Raiders]

Pointless, yet..... no wait... Just pointless

That movie had no point other than to show a group of helpless people getting maimed. The animation was very lacking, and action was depicted by a series of still pictures, with motion tweening here and there to make it look less like a clip show. The music was disjointed, and didn't add to the emotion or feeling of the movie. That could either be that the music was just fucked up, or there was no feeling or emotion to begin with, other than that given from some green men slicing up villagers. The doll I guess was supposed to convey the ruthlessness of the raiders and the innocence of the people being attacked, but in the end, just looked like a retared little imp being thrown around. Absense of stickfigures does not a good movie make, which people I guess don't realize. Just because you have drawn backrounds and some real people doesn't mean that it is infact good. It was mediocre, and as stated before, pointless. I suggest you create a real plot (because there really wasn't a plot in this one, whether or not you think there was), work on animating things better - though you did try, and find some music that doesn't suck ass. Oh wait, there is an emotion that is given after watching this movie. It's being pissed off. Oh wait, that's wrong, I just have to take a shit.

[The Necromancer Episode 3]

Interesting

You have a good story going, but the quality of artwork puts a big damper on things. Perhaps, instead of comming out with an episode once every month or so, you should work on it an extra month or two so that you can take your time on things like body proportion and the backrounds. The voice acting wasn't bad, but at times you speak too low, to the point where it's almost inaudible. Also, it seems as though some of the faces (the ones that look pretty good) are not exactly your own. I say this because there is a dramatic change in quality from some characters to others. I'm guessing you found some pictures, put them in flash, and traced over them. That's all fine and dandy, but maybe you should get more of a variety so we don't have to look at the same exact face in every movie. I like the way you tell the story, just work on the aethstic components of the movies, please, pretty please.

[Lords of Battle]

I'm liking it

Cool story, cool main character, cool battle scenes, cool nukes, and overall coolness. I do suggest though, that you lightly bitch slap Dark Sk8tergirl for sounding stupid in your otherwise flawless movie. I give her an A for effort, but D+ for execution. Keep up the great work, and I'll just chill out until the next Stick Slayer.

[Arrogancy: Episode One]

Quah?

Well, you have some awsome artistic ability, but I'm not sure why you named this Episode one, when there have been four previous episodes. Perhaps you should have named it an Epilogue or some shit. Also, the voice actor is different. What's up with that? He didn't do too bad a job, but it wasn't amazing. Was the first girl even necessary in the story at all though? I mean she was introduced, and than bam, she's pushing daisies. And then he gets the hots for some other chick who is obviosly more bad ass than the old girl. It seems you also took a good deal from Cowboy Bebop, such as the dreaming awake thing, and the whole eye being clamped open with the needle thing. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because Bebop dominated, but also it's not entirely original, regardless of whether you meant it to be or not. To sum things up, it was awsome animation, pretty decent voice acting, lacking story, and a girl thrown in there just to die five seconds later. Good effort, peace, I'm out.

arrogancy responds:

1) The first four CHAPTERS were a prologue

2) Because people kept complaining

3) She's completely necessary. As shown in the game preview, the entire game is about HER (it's named after her), and she provides very important motivation behind Arrogancy. A lot more than "ten seconds later."

4) I stole the needle from Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, actually - the same place where Cowboy Bebop stole it from. So, well, Cowboy Bebop isn't exactly original either - which is the entire point of that show.
