olaftheblue's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Service Announcement]

Important message

Glad someone says it. However, I would guess the main reason a good movie has a 1-to-10 or 1-to-100 ratio in votes/views is that people watch them a whole lot of times. (I think I must have seen One Ring To Rule Them All 2 fifty times or so ... but I voted only once, because that feels like the right thing to do.)

Apart from that, I couldn't agree more. I'm voting for this one, and I'm voting five.

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Thanks, man!

As for the second reason to low vote/view ratio, it's true. Still, i realised that while under judgement the average for views to votes is about 160/300... i tabulated this score by taking a look at movies as soon as they passed judgement... Other people's movies, mind you.

That appauled me, because everyone should cast at least one lousy vote...

Anyway, thanks for watching!

[The Silent Debate]

Not bad

I gave it a 3. I would have given it a 2, but I thought this was extremely good for being anyone's first movie, so I had to raise it a little. Either way, it doesn't suck.

But, I hope that for your next movie you improve your microphone quality. At the end, I couldn't really hear what was going on at all. Also, you could work on your animation (a person walking actually moves his feet every now and then) - still, the art was pretty good for a beginner if you only added some more movement (perhaps by breaking the character into pieces and tweening the pieces?).

And for some reason I suspect that it could be possible to lower the filesize a little... But I may be wrong, I'm pretty fresh with Flash myself. I just thought it was quite a filesize for telling a joke.

ryer responds:

Thank you ver much! Your comments helped alot! I'll keep going until I get it right! I appreciate it!

[King Arthur VS LOTF Kids]

A good animation

The whole clay thing worked out really well, and you're really good at it.

The LOTF kids are mentioned in way too few submissions here, good someone does. But I have to comment on the subject that the big guy didn't really behave like King Arthur AT ALL. I very sincerely doubt that is what would have happened if the two stories got to meet each other.

Still, nicely animated.

Matt-Merrill responds:

lol, I didn't take this school project seriously at all. It was just a good excuse for a claymation battle. And the funniest thing about it was I got 100%!!!

[The hat]

Nice work

I see you're Norwegian... Have you read any of Jason's comics? Something about your style (not your way of drawing, but your way of telling a story) reminds me of him.

(And that's a compliment.)

Stå på!

Olivertwist responds:

Thanks! That -is- a compliment, I love his works! (Hvis du er Norsk; Kanskje du husker en postkortserie hos KortSagt med tre motiver - alle i svart hvitt. Det er min tegnestil.

[Joker North Show 1]

Uhm ...

Team Antonsen are great, but I must confess I prefer movies with a little originality. You just ripped the TV show idea.

Also, I doubt this makes very little sense for people who don't know the concept of the original Joker from Norsk Tipping, so ... If I were you, I wouldn't have posted this on an international site. It's about as funny as joking with Bondevik. It is fun if you know who he is, and everybody in Norway knows who he is, but it's not funny on an international stage. Just my opinion.

Great concept, but as we all know you didn't make the concept. And it's not as funny as the original.

Skybert responds:

I think you need to learn how to read. In the preloader it clearly says: "Thanks To: Team Antonsen for their idea, which we just copied :)" And which means that there is their concept. And we are just making a cheap "add-on" as you might call it. We also do salute the team antonsen team for this. We hardly take any credit for this ourselves.

Saying a things is it not funny is the most stupid and ignorant thing you can ever do. People have different meanings of whats funny and what not. So dont pull that one.

The jokes here are based out of the "Joker Nord" system. Which includes that a lot of weird things happen and you are not supposed to understand much of it (except the host).

And i point out once more. Its not a RIPoff its an ADD-on.

[Nerd]

Funny

Eyh, *I* want to be a nerd! :-) Well, still, I like the cartoon. Good job, especially for an early work. Good humor too.

voodoo-chicken responds:

I saw your "nobody wants to be a nerd" in your little mock tutorial. Could that have possibly come from this? If it did, Im flattered. If not, then Im baffled by the coincidence. Once again, good tutorial. Brilliant. I put it in my favorites.
