Auz's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Graham's Weird Day (3/3)]

Interesting

Like you said in a former response, there is indeed not much explained in this entire series. We still do not really know why there is a big hole in Graham's house that seems to lead to another dimension. What that other dimension exactly was is not explained either. And I don't know what Bahamut is doing on the moon. I can't remember that ever happening in one of your former flashes, I guess it might be explained later.

Anyway, I suppose this series was just silly randomness after all. It doesn't even give answers to questions that were posed in the first episode. But I see this series' ending immediately starts a new series. That is an interesting idea that I haven't seen that often before. Usually there is a series finale and then sometimes a (crappy) sequel series, but this finale just seemed like a middle episode. I'm quite interested in how this story continues.

Overall 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Not such a great episode or a good finale, but it had an interesting idea behind it.

Wait, myself on the moon? o_O

[My Last Flash Ever!]

You probably would've had me

I think you might have had me back then with this one. I didn't realise this would be an Aprils fools joke flash at first until I saw the date of submitting. I was already halfway with watching this when I saw that and was already wondering if you really did have plans to quit at some point. But you also admitted it in the end. It might have been nice if you pretended that you were gonna quit and would admit the joke the day after instead of right away.

Anyway like Haggard, Afro_Stud singing "Barbie Girl" is something that I would not want to hear anymore either :p Not only because Afro is not such a fantastic singer, but also because those kind of songs always get stuck in my head.

I personally found the funniest scene in this movie the scene were the crowd went: Oooh :o and then Afro was disappointed because he wanted you to quit forever :p Although I think Afro sounded a little too happy when he said it which made it sound like he was only joking. It might have turned out funnier if he sounded more serious and really disappointed.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. A decent Aprils fools tribute.

kinggila responds:

Don't worry, I don't want to hear myself singing that song ever again.

[Graham's Weird Day (2/3)]

Alright

This one was alright. It was interesting how everyone switched voices. For some reason I found Bahamut's new voice quite fitting and the same goes for your voice with Mario.

Like Haggard said though, it was hard to hear the people talking sometimes. It seemed as if after a few scenes everybody suddenly started to talk softer and started to mumble. Except for Satan who was still loud and clear. It is good that you always add subtitles to your flashes I guess, otherwise I would have had no idea what was going on.

Anyway, there sure are a couple of weird things going on this series. Graham's house turning into a big G? Wtf? I suppose everything will be revealed in the third episode.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Actually, not much was explained. Wow, I was terrible with explaining weird things in these flashes.

[F*** OFF YOU F*****!]

Lol

I think I really like these weekly shorts :p I find them more amusing than your normal work actually.

The beginning was already quite funny. With Afro breaking into Bahamuts house using an explosive. How very subtle xD Afro wouldn't do well as a burglar I guess. I also wonder how Bahamut could not have heard that. I guess a dragon must be very hard to wake up. Then when Afro opened the door of Bahamut's room, the door knob seemed to be on the wrong side of the door. It didn't seem to be done intentionally, or was it?

After that I couldn't really hear what music Afro was uploading to Bahamut's MP3. Was it the Spice Girls again? I suppose it was if Bahamut got so angry.

Anyway, this still didn't explain why Bahamut couldn't remember Afro in the flash before. Although there was a reference, but it was still left in the dark. And this flash does suggest that there was indeed something going on between you and Afro. Is there any explanation or was it just a random joke?

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Like I said I really like these weekly shorts so far. Too bad you gave up on them at some point.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

It was the YMCA. Also, yeah there was a reference to the Valentine's Day flash but it wasn't explained that well. Meh.

[Valentine's Day?!]

Not what I expected

At first I thought this was gonna be a rant about how Valentine's Day sucks and how it is only there for commercial purposes. But it was nothing like that and indeed it didn't make much sense to me. How come Bahamut does not remember who Afro_Stud is? Has his memory been erased by someone while he was sleeping? And why is Afro not co-authored on this movie? Has there been a fight going on between you? I guess I might find out in one of your next flashes.

Anyway, this flash was not much special. I expected more from it. Also, I thought the scene where Bahamut tried to remember all the characters he knew lasted too long.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It was a little disappointing.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Amnesia FTW! Also, Afro_Stud isn't co-authored on every flash he's on. Just those he does voices or is relevant to his own stuff.

[Graham's Weird Day (1/3)]

Graham...

Well, I assume your goal has always been to make fun out of Graham and make him seem like a dick whenever he's in one of your flashes. I guess you succeeded in that, because I've always found him the least likable character you have ever come up with. What's up between the two of you anyway?

But I thought this flash was short but sweet. It contained a lot of funny moments actually. Like Graham living in a monopoly hotel and the sound of his car made me chuckle. The gap scene was also funny. I thought he was gonna end up in hell or something, but then fell through the floor again and then he landed :p

The landing could have used some sort of impact sound though.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It's short, but I thought this was one of your funnier flashes thus far.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Graham's a fucking prick! :P

[How long will I last?]

Hmm

This is something I can't remember. I can't remember you ever.. making a series of weekly shorts. Browsing through your flash page I can't see much of it either, but apparently your next flash was the second weekly short. I guess I must've missed something back when this came out.

Anyway, there was not much of interest in this flash. Just a short introduction to your new plans and a little joke about your laziness. The fact that you were even too lazy to record your own voice surprises me. You must have had some experience with it by now, and I doubt it would take longer than 15 minutes to record 30 seconds of your voice. In other words, you must have really, really lazy with making this one.

Overall 5 out of 10, 2 out of 5. Although it's only an introduction, it could've used a bit more effort.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Haha, this was such a flop. :D

[Best of Bahamut]

Pew pew

I always like compilations and I think this one was alright. I liked how there seemed to be a connection between the scenes for the first part. After the FUCK YOU FANBOYS it seemed to go in a very random direction though. Like you had a few scenes left, but didn't quite know what to do with them, so you just placed them after each other.

I also liked the crazy frog song playing at the background when the flashing FUCK YOU FANBOYS screen came. Although I never liked that sort of spam with screamers and epilepsy stuff. I just never found it that funny, but I guess it was meant to be a parody and luckily the flash carried on after a while.

Anyway there were a few other scenes from your flashes that I would've liked to see in this one. Such as the clock joke from the christmas special and more pirate stuff. But I guess choosing which scenes belong in a "best of" is always a matter of opinion. I think you included most of the good scenes anyway.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Not much special, but a good compilation.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Haha, the spammy sound was my "greatest attempt" at annoying people. I failed. :(

[Space Dragon 2007]

Surprised me

I remember this one clearly. Fist submission of 2007. Didn't you get "first submission" two years in a row?

Anyway, this flash was pretty good actually. I don't know if you have drawn the space ship yourself, but it looked very good. Bahamut walking to the back and front is something that I hadn't seen from you yet either. Most of your movies were more 2D-ish. I know it's not so difficult to do, but it added some depth to the graphics. So that was a good point.

I also thought the voice acting was done better than usual for some reason, especially from you. The guy with the Dream Theater shirt was still hard to understand though. I guess his microphone really sucked back then or something. In the Christmas cartoon his voice was of a low quality as well. Much lower than the other ones at least.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. I think this is one of my favorites from you thus far.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Indeed I did. I was victorious for 2007 and 2008. :D

Yeah, I drew that pink blimp myself. As for the voice acting, just looking back at this, I thought the voices I did were rather poor. I just sounded like I was bored for most of this flash. XP Also, Crackman's microphone was piss poor when he did the voices for this and A Bahamut's Christmas Tale.

[A Bahamut's Xmas Tale]

Lol

Lol. So once again some planet got destroyed, and this time because Bahamut opened a present from Afro_Stud which contained a bomb of some sort? This is like the third time already, Bahamut should really be more careful :p It also makes me wonder how he could survive all those times.

Anyway, this is your first attempt at drawing some characters yourself. I thought they looked decent. Not that great, but I doubt I could do much better. I thought Graham was actually drawn best for some reason. There were a couple of other things that looked pretty good in this flash. The christmas hats were very nicely drawn and so were the couch and the presents. The animation of the snow outside looked good as well. Most of the animation was done well actually.

I think this was also one of your funnier flashes thus far. I liked the clock joke with the small explosion and Bahamut going: "Oh...". I haven't seen the other flash you referred to with that, but it was funny nonetheless. Bahamut throwing Satan out on the street was nice as well :p

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5.

~Auz

kinggila responds:

Bahamut is a dragon, he can survive explosions. :D
