AdamNovagen's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jesus Playing Guitar Hero]

The Good, The Bad, and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Guitar Hero is fun

THE BAD:
-Extremely poor sound sync
-Minimal art
-Near-total lack of actual animation

THE VERDICT:
"The audio gets out of sync SOMETIMES?!" There was almost a ten-second gap at the end of the tune! I know that some problems in Flash just can't seem to be solved, but when it's THAT big, don't post it here until you can do something about it! Remember, NG isn't here for nothing but "sketchbook" clips with little or no point or quality.
As far as everything else goes, It's not exactly the worst thing I've ever seen, but it's certainly not the best. Your art (what there was of it) had potential, and you could really make some good stuff in future, but you've GOT to figure out those sound issues.

that was not my fault i had the audio synced perfectly and for some reason once it was uploaded to newgrounds it got all fucked up i tryed re uploaded it several times

The Good, The Bad, and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Less irritating than a full-body rash

THE BAD:
-More pointless than a wind-powered cow moisturizer.

THE VERDICT:
Tiny letters saying "do not watch if you have epilepsy" at the bottom of an epilepsy-inducing screen do NOT qualify as a proper warning. And are we supposed to be IMPRESSED that you stole the media for this... Thing? More importantly... What was that supposed to BE?! What was the POINT?!

fuck you

[Final Fantasy Tenki]

The Good, The Bad, and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Decent art & animation
-Final monster was cool

THE BAD:
-Pretty flat humor

THE VERDICT:
Well, I have to hand it to you: that was far better than any sleeping pill. Seriously. Your artwork is decent, and the concept isn't altogether terrible, but overall it just falls flat.

[Abandoned Outbreak]

The Good, The Bad, and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Excellent use of 3D rendering
-Good artwork for a budding "Flasher"

THE BAD:
-Short considering the file size; try to optimize more

THE VERDICT:
Overall, I agree with pretty much everyone else; this is a really good piece of animation. I know I didn't give as high a score as others, but I'm a tough critic. ^_^
Anyway, despite the actual SOUND of the voices, your acting was pretty decent; it worked. And the way you combined graphic animation with 3D rendering was nothing short of excellent; you have huge potential!

[Sonic Advance Crackups]

The Good, The Bad and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Rapid-fire funny
-Right up to the usual standard
-Much better sound quality

THE BAD:
-Mario/Spock sendoff was too long

THE VERDICT:
Big-Papa-Kitsune, I'll be as sad to see you go as I would Mario. You've left a great & hilarious legacy behind you. Another excellent work, with only the one minor complaint. Congratulations, and Sayonara!

[Awesome Guy Adventures]

The Good, The Bad and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Cute graphics
-Excellent sprite animation
-Good soundtrack choices
-Funny

THE BAD:
-Movie 2 was rather obscure

THE VERDICT:
Well, that was fun. I've never seen a sprite movie with 3D camera pans, so major kudos for that. I didn't get #2 though; what was that all about?
One more thing: I'm BEGGING you, PLEASE tell me the name of the music during the moon's fall. I plan to do my own flash in future, and I have a perfect use for that. Thanks! ^_^

[Sonic Dash]

The Good, The Bad and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Decent action sequence
-Nice music choice

THE BAD:
-Rather poor artwork
-File was HUGE considering the length & quality

THE VERDICT:
This, to me, is just a kind of "sketchbook" production; not really any point, other than to practice your animation skills. It could work as part of a larger animation, but it doesn't really hold up on its own.
Here's an art tip: Sonic's eyes join in the middle. ^_^

[Sonic riders in 3 minutes]

The Good, The Bad and the Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Absolutely hilarious
-Great satire
-FUN!!!

THE BAD:
-Impaling is NOT funny
-I know Chris is pretty lame, but was the truck really necessary?

THE VERDICT:
Overall, this was almost TOO funny; seriously, I almost died laughing. I love the Sonic the Hedgehog games, but I have to agree that the plots are usually pretty lame, and this highlighted that perfectly! The frenetic pace made everything even funnier, especially Albatross' split-second demise. But the funniest thing in the whole damn clip was the "Amy Technique." You have a gift my friend; keep 'em coming!

[Sonic X CC Trailer]

The Good, The Bad and The Verdict

THE GOOD:
-Excellent artwork
-Brilliantly rendered action scenes
-A real eye-catcher

THE BAD:
-Tails seemed rather underdrawn
-Deadline WAY overdue

THE VERDICT:
This makes a GREAT preview; I for one can't wait to see the finished animation. It's also a HUGE improvement on your earlier 2003 work.
