Leboyo56's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[But? OR!?]

Still...not...very...funny...

How did you make this so fast? I just got your last Flash out of judgment only less than 30 minutes ago! Oh yeah, you could have made them at separate times at submitted them close together. But enough with that nonsense! I am amazed at how good the animation is for you being a starter, so I shall award a &/!) Wait...I was accidentally using shift. 7/10!

[All In Good Pun]

That wasn't punny at all!

Though the animation was good, so I'll give you an okay score for that, as that's what you were aiming for. It's still mediocre at best, however. Keep trying!

[The Post-it Knight]

One of the most charming things I've ever seen

At first I thought this was going to be made from regular Flash with an animated knight on an animated post-it on an animated whiteboard, but when I saw the message saying the video was in Stop-Motion and then the actually DRAWN OUT knight on a REAL post-it on an ACTUAL whiteboard, I knew what I was watching was going to be awesome. As the winged steed came into view and landed to assist the knight, I was at the point of laughing because I wasn't at all expecting that sort of uniqueness and charm. The homemade sound effects fit right in with the amateurish style of the video, and the light Zelda music playing in the background added to the appeal of it. I also just can't shake off the feeling that the whole thing was done like an after-school activity, and the video was being made to be presented to the class.
Overall, I didn't think anything fell short at any time. I completely know how hard it is to do Stop-Motion, how thousands upon thousands of pictures need to be taken and re-done, and that pictures still need to be shot even when objects are standing still, just to give them a more life-like look and the sense that nothing is ever truly still. I can't even start to imagine the number of post-its that were used. I'm not taking off for a few weird spots here and maybe what looks like a mis-taken shot there, as those add to the essence of how everything seems to have been made in a class-room.
Review in short: those post-its are going in my Favorites file forever.

MittT responds:

Wow, awesome review.

It was done for a high school class, haha. The teacher just said make a stop motion video, split us into groups, and we were the only group that actually worked every day. I remember we ended up skipping other classes to working on this more, too actually. This went on for 2 weeks, with 70 minute periods a day.

[Cookie Jar Gone Wrong]

This is so stupid...wait what?!

I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire thing. It was completely unexpected, "Yes you!" "F***, they found out." (Loads up gun)
If the contest wasn't over yet, I'd totally submit this to the NG treasure hunt! I think it would also have a fair chance of winning the Original Comedy part. The only thing that didn't make sense was that the man ran away but the kids stayed even after Billy was shot.

[Madness Aggresive]

Good, but not centered enough.

The animation and graphics were just as good as any other respectable Madness tribute, but they were hard to enjoy and look at because the camera was too close to the action. Most of the exciting things such as the character mowing down the horde of agents happened off-screen, so much as I wasn't able to get a good idea of what person was firing the guns. Was there more than one person helping? If so, I wasn't able to tell at all. Other than that, the flash and flare was great enough and completely up-to-par, but if it was centered a little bit closer to the middle and extended to a better length then I would have given this at least an 8.

[Welfare Queens]

Oldy film goodness

Never thought somebody could make an actual comedy of global welfare (and have it turn out being good), but this is funny enough for me to say you did it. Sure, the laughs weren't big, but the presentation as an old grainy cartoon flick from the 30's or 40's made me surprised at the work that went into trying to make this entertaining, and it works well.
Most of this is actually pretty true as well, though the main reason people in poverty are like that is because of either lay-offs or that they are all-around very unfortunate, so ridiculing the poor as being lazy and basically getting paid for it isn't the most accurate thing to say. The only other negative I can find is that the sound quality was pretty bad. The grain of the old-film style sometimes became exceedingly loud, enough as to even muffle out the voice of the narrator, but that didn't happen too ofter; I was able to hear most everything being said. Besides those two complaints, this Flash was really great! Maybe I'll check out the rest of your works now.
I also love the reference to the Homestar Runner series with the Goblin appearing as one of the lady's many children. Cool easter egg!

[Pokemon - Left 4 Dead]

lol, I liked that a lot

Considering the fact that I play the games (Pokemon, not Left 4 Dead), I got the attack jokes, like growl and fury swipes. There's one problem though, there was no boomer!

[How 2 Make a Ngs Username]

lols

I find it funny how it sounds like people are actually using this to make an account name, but then again, I guess it's more than just a 'fake tutorial' as the flash seems to refer to itself. It was still really enjoyable, and I liked it a lot.

LewToons responds:

i find it funny how in the first 30 minutes of the toon being submitted, someone already snagged "loopylion" and a few others tried to get it as well! haha. (its not my alt)

[Super Mario bros Z ep 1 (old series)]

Great

The animation was colorful and crisp, and the humor and action was spot-on. I did notice that you borrowed around half of the special effects from Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga. I think the sprites of most of the characters are from it, too. What a great game. And flash.

[The Mockingbird Song]

...

This is the best piece of anything I have ever played, seen, or heard on Newgrounds. It emotionally moved me, but not to the point of just flat-out breaking down. The mood, the art, the narration, but especially the story were outright done to their finest. I had butterflies in my chest from what to make of the movie when I saw the deathly-pale face used as the image for it, making me tense inside. After the Flash ended, I just stared at the screen thinking of a way to put all of my thoughts into words. Here they are. Congrats for making my day.
