ChandlerThompson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Report: Lord Of The Flies]

That wasn't too bad.

Lord of the Flies is probably the best book I ever had to read in school, so I thought this was a clever interpretation of what happened in the book. I liked the comments that the teacher would say to the kid sitting at his desk, the part with the mean face was exceptionally funny. I thought the microphone quality was pretty scratchy, it made it difficult to understand what Johnny was saying, that and the fact that he was muttering words incredibly fast. The ending was funny as well, I definately did not see that coming.

I found it pretty lame that you had to quote your own flash in this one. The whole Pokemon cards line from the Megapokedigimangs really seemed unnecessary for this flash. In all due respect, I enjoyed the flash by itself, but setting yourself up like that in such a sense that you have to resort to included your more famous work on a brand new topic seems incoherent.

I found it interesting that you there was much relevence in the plot in Johnyy's report, but the book would have been better if Ralph and Piggy said "not cool". The animation was very nice, I like the way you animated the student's face when he was crying. Overall, it was a well done flash, but it featured several execution errors in my book. Anyway, keep up the good work you two.

[Edd Egg - Werewolf]

Nicely done.

I've always been curious about this Edd Egg series, and so far I am impressed. The animation was good, but there was tweening in just about every scene, it was distracting from the actual plot. The nonsense with Amy looking for the stream or whatever rambled on incoherently for way too long, I really began to lose interest from watching it. It was a clever idea for a storyline though, taken right out of a horror movie.

I thought the voice acting was great, Edd's voice is amusing. The joke about the vampires was creative, that was probably my favorite part of the whole movie. The music fit the mood of the flash very well, I thought the ending credits song was a funny addition as well. Overall, it was a nice Halloween flash that had good characters and storyline, but lacked in several areas. Anyway, keep up the nice work!

[LL- Amusing]

That was clever.

So far the flashes I have seen that debuted on Ban Day were funny, so it looks like it was a successful holiday for you guys. The animation was great, I love how you took the simple character designs of Locks and put them into your own creative style. One recommendation I would say is that the Speakonia voice that the Clocks and Locks use is difficult to understand at points, I think it would be beneficial to add subtitles or captions to help the viewer understand what is going on.

The ending was hilarious, I truly did not expect that to happen at all. I am somewhat unfamiliar with the Lock Legion, is the zombie eating the turtle an actual Lock? If so, that is just pure brilliance. Anyway, I'd say this is just short of being a perfect flash, I found this to be very funny and a fitting tribute to the Lock Legion. Keep up the great work!

Haha, thanks

I should add subtitles, I just usually forget but I'll try to remember

Yeah, "Zombie Turtle Eating A Guy's Head Lock" is my character :3

Thanks

[The Fab Collab!]

Very well done.

The layout and atmosphere that this falsh created was, dare I say it, fabulous. I was overly impressed with how many parts Turtleco put together, he did a spank-up job on all of his parts. Some parts were better than others, but I was also amused by the loading screen game and the games included in the collab. The jazz style of music being played was also entertaining.

The bios were fun to read so I could learn more about the participants, plus the art contest was interesting. My favorite part was when Turtleco showed the level icons and everyone switched to fab, the voices he used were hilarious. Overall, this was a hilarious concept for a flash and the layout and parts of the collab looked great. Keep up the fabulous work everyone!

[Eddsworld Vs Cahj]

Pretty good.

I've been a fan of Edd's movies for a while, so it was really cool to see worlds collide with this flash. The voice acting was good, but the microphone quality was a bit scratchy which made it difficult to understand some of the voices. The music was great, I like how you synchronized a lot of the movements and voices with the song. Plus the animation was great, all of the frame by frame you put in there looked fantastic.

The flash became pretty redundant about halfway through. It seemed like it was just people charging up attacks and then avoiding them, which was pretty lame. There were some creative attacks in there, I was impressed by the amazing abilities the toaster had, haha. Overall, it was a nice flash with well executed fight scenes. Congratulations on your first award, keep up the great work!

Lazyfeet responds:

Fair comments. I definitely need to get a better mic and storyboard the whole thing first. Thanks for the kind words and responding to my request :)

And I think I've made thousands of people want a transforming toaster. A new product in the future maybe? Hehe.

[Waiting for the Bus!]

Deserving of a perfect score.

I was never really on the Cyanide and Happiness bandwagon like everyone else was until I saw this short. I had completely forgotten about that movie Speed, so seeing that there was a parody of it really brought a smile to my face. The animation was impressive. It's amazing all the work you put into the storyline for this flash just so you could set up a ridiculous punchline. The fact that I've this numerous times just to see the ending is amusing itself.

Besides the ending, I thought the part where the fifty mile per hour man was talking to the bus driver in the beginning was my favorite part. It was silly how this basically followed every fifteen minute of fame celebrity lifestyle, achieving a lot, then it goes downhill, then something in the end sets themself free. Anyway, kudos for making me laugh hysterically. You have my respect and I am now a fan. Keep up the excellent work!

[Secret Sins Fast Food Boy]

It was alright.

While the animation and concept of the flash were good, the vocies were sub par and extremely difficult to understand. The plot of the flash was somewhat hard to follow, since the string of events went from a happy tone to a evil and michevious mood, I felt like that transition was unnecessary. The animation was very spooky, the edited images did a swell job of creeping me out.

The bunny guy who was Fast Food Boy's fellow inmate really scared me. The way he talked and the fact that he peeled people's skin was very freaky. I've already watched it several times, but I still do not get full clarity from it. It was a noble idea, but lacked the proper execution. I was not overly impressed, but I'm sure there will be future improvement. Keep up the great work!
