ToughLuck's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Counter-Strike Round 3]

Best laughs from an animation in a while.

Your sticks were extremely thin, the background graphics of cs_militia were sometimes unrecognizable. But suprisingly none of that put me off, you've created a great comedy and a brilliant CS parody. Loved the humor and ideas.

The hacker and rogue terrorists were amusing. Thought the script was neatly written out and the whole movie flowed along nicely.

Although I'd recommend working with the graphics and animation, as it's probably the only thing keeping your score low. Aside from that, a very entertaining piece of Flash.

Thanks for your comment. I tried to model a lot of the graphics off CS 1.6, so it wasn't made to look like a masterpiece on purpose. Not to mention, that would take a really long time.

[Air Skirmish]

Peak of it all.

Animating aircraft in a dogfight has got to be one of the toughest subjects to animate, and here you managed to pull it off. The 3D aircraft were great, the modelling was awesome.

The camera was very decent as well, made it seem just like a movie and did remind me of Behind Enemy Lines. Points for that.

The voice acting was not as great as everything else was, there was a lack of expression. The voice acting was composed of simple voice recording, and couldve used more 'radio static' effects to make it seem like they were pilots instead of recordings in a studio. But voice acting isn't easy, and therefore I'll keep the Overall 10 in place.

I noticed the backgrounds had barely any detail at all, except a few, which was a simple and working effect that didn't bother me at all. This concludes my review, a great piece of work, entertaining, and something I've been dying to see.

10/10
5/5

LogFish responds:

Thanks for the kindly worded review! You're pretty perceptive, the only guy to notice my not particularly detailed backgrounds. My voice acting is poor at best heh, I don't have a proper wav editor either so I was just using nero and using the equaliser to make it sound vaguely like radio, no idea how to get my hands on a real wav editor. I'll put more effort into the sound of my next film though. Glad you liked it!

[Sounds of CS]

Not a masterpiece.

But a highly entertaining segment of art. The music artists did a great job with the gunshot sounds, although its a shame they didn't use all of the CS sound effects, thus made the music slightly repetitive, and we were really listening to almost the same gunshots the whole time.

The sounds with the M249 Para impressed me the most, I thought it was a drum at one point. The supressed weapon effects mixed well with each other, over and under the MP5 shots.

Overall this is a kickass project, and I congradulate all who took part in making this. Aced.

StealthBeast responds:

thanks for the str8 10s and thanks for the review!

[Call of Duty 2]

Not a masterpiece.

But a very entertaining segment of artwork. For your second animation I'd say you've got a lot of potential and understanding of Flash already. I've animated and viewed plenty of pointless war animations but this was outstanding.

Some of you will probably think I'm exaggerating. But through your work I've noticed many simple yet extremely effective techniques used.

Keep it up, you're going places.

Fishtankdude58 responds:

[The Team: Exile -Preview-]

Kickass job.

Nice artwork, great soundtrack and a good movie we'll be waiting for.

s0undatr0n responds:

Thanks a bunch, TL. Can't wait to see what YOU make next either...

[Oh noes!]

Not bad.

Short and pointless, good for an hours work I guess. Some grammar and spelling mistakes in the movie though.

Hopekool responds:

hmmm...thx?

[The story of a stalker]

Haha

There's just something about it to like. Keep it up man.

ToonCastleTV responds:

Thanks toughluck cant wait to see swat 2 gonna be hella

[Couple of shorts-tribute-]

Heh...

Thanks for making me a tribute, it was pretty cool but maybe more use on backgrounds would make it better. Some parts were pretty funny. Good job man, keep it up.

FelleAndersson responds:

yeah.. The background sucked.. But I maked that on a couple of hours so...
