I think I gave it a 3 when it was still under judgment.

Those two should spring for a Independent movie, or a TV spot, or something, this idea is complete gold.

Just, yes. YES!

The scene with the stalking robot is fantastic

I could watch that scene again and again, and have been doing so.

The ending scene gives me chills. Everything just unites together perfectly: the story, the visuals, and the music all hitting you at the same time. I especially liked how they cut between different shots; it relayed a lot of intensity.

If James and Hania get the opportunity, they should totally make a full-length feature out of this and release it worldwide. It's a testament to what can be done with animation.

BTW, I noticed they're both named Lee. Connection?

Tarboy FTW. This is great stuff.

Alek Wasilewski is a genius.

Congradulations, creator of Tarboy. Your flash is Tom Fulp's favorite flash on this entire website!

OH SHIT! That's TRUE!

And Thanks To All Of You, The Score Got From 4.79 To 4.80! But I Am Not Happy Yet. When I Saw That Movie, I Felt Something Really Special, And That Feeling Is Telling Me To Make The Movie Gain The Score It Really Deserves!

So I Am Repeating It: "DO YOU HEAR ME, NEWGROUNDS! VOTE HONESTLY ON TARBOY, IT'S A MASTERPIECE, AND WE DON'T SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVERYDAY! AND NEWGROUNDS SHOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE IT"

However, I Think That TomFulp Should Rather Give Tarboy A Review Than This Review For, "Longest platformer ever":

"The Rick Roll fad died for me years ago, but this was oddly compelling... I found myself trying to see if it was possible to get through the level before the video started, I'm pretty sure it's impossible.

BUT

Imagine if you had a little hourglass on the screen, and when it runs out, the video starts and you LOSE the level. And then imagine there are a whole bunch of levels, and the goal of each is to get through before the timer runs out and the video starts. I could get hooked on that."

Good News & Bad News!

Good News:

Tarboy Has Over 1,000 Reviews, And The Average Score Is Still 10.0 [9.96]! Isn't That Amazing.. It's The First I've Ever Seen O_O

Bad News:

I Wanted The Score To Get Above 4.90, So That It Could Get A Score Like No-One Have Ever Seen, But Instead Of Increasing, It Decreased To 4.78! Please, NEWGROUNDS, Make It Increase!

Well, If It Won't Increase, Then Let The Score Be What It Is, Don't Make It Decrease To 4.38, Like Every Awesome Movie/Game Does! FEEL IT, THEN JUDGE!

Apprantly there married.

I'm sure some asshole has reviewed it less than 10 by now!
This is such a good flash, though. I think it deserves all 10s

I Too Think It Deserves All 10s And A Score Of 4.90!

There Are Over 1,000 Reviews And 102 Pages With Them, And I Don't Wanna Read Them All, It's Just TOO MUCH! Anyways, I Saw Someone Gave It A 9 On The Main Page (not review page), And The First Review Gave Him A 9! So There Is ALWAYS Some AssHoles (as you said) that Will Vote 0 For Fun, And Just Destroy For Everyone Else!

It was made by an art school, no wonder why such greatness. Maybe this will stick to top 50 forever, like Waterlollies.

The lowest review it has is a 6 from PowerRangerYELLOW.

But he has a thought out review with valid points.

Go read it, lol

Ah, now Tom Fulp made "Toss The Turtle" his favorite thing. Oh well, at least it's still his favorite flash.

Hey! Actually, it was animated completely by James Lee - but he was studying at Griffith University at the time (Tarboy was his honours year film), so because he worked on it while he was at uni, he had to put their name at the end of it.

^^ Epic Fail

And the tarboy movies are pretty cool, ive seen better on ng but theyre still cool.

I thought tarboy looked cool but the storyline was really bad and loaded with cliches.

I kept waiting for The Captain of Outer Space to show up.

Haha!
Actually reminds me of the people who don't read the description on Youtube video's then flame the comments, it's also much more ridiculous when it's already written in the title.

Yes, an impressive flash, I don't know how he does it... must get payed a lot for it.

That was one of the most amazing flash cartoons I've ever seen.
The (musical) score was VERY fantastic as well.

NOOO!

Really BAD NEWS:

1. I Wanted The Movie To Have A Score Like Never, And What!!! It Went Below 4.80, And Is Now: 4.77! Don't Let This End Up Like All The Other Movies/Games!

2. Double NO! Since The Average Review Score Went Down From 9.96 to 9.95, The Average Score On The Main Movie Page Is Now: 9.9!!! C'mon!

@PowerRangerYELLOW: What? Maybe YOU Think The Story Line Was Bad, But C'Mon, How Could Someone Possibly Give It A 6, Just Because Of The Story Line! I Really Loved It, And There Is No Bad Thing That A Father Is Telling His Own Son A BedStory, A True One! That Just Makes It Even More Exciting, And By The Way, It's More Like A Kids Movie (nothing bad about that), More Like The Old Cartoon Movies, Where They Told Stories To Them When They Were Small Children! And What Do You Know, Maybe The Sequel Will Show That The Kid Saves Tarboy!

Hey prid, if you're just going to talk about the score of the movie, I'll lock this thread. The users decide what the score should be entirely, and the movie isn't perfect and there are several reasons I can think of for why as an animation it would deserve less than a 5.

It was good, but we don't massively up vote or down vote. You have one vote a day to express your opinion. Feel free to use it. Leave this topic to actual discussion on the content, not rating.

Yeah Tarboy is awesome.

acualy, most reviews are 9 or over, the lowest rating (stars) is about 8.

That movie is soooo popular right now but it'll die down a bit in a few weeks, that's how it workds

Yeah, You're All Right, There Is No Use Talking About The Voting!

Anyways, I Still Haven't Got Reasons For Why People Liked It Or Not (Well, Some Has, But Just A Few)

I've already explained why i didn't like tarboy and it because the storyline was awful, the movie was loaded with cliches.

I watched this after DickNeck:Origins and I have to say, at the risk of Poozy's banhammer, that Tarboy was superior.

Yet, since it is cock joke vs Art-House Brilliance, I predict that Tarboy won't stay at the top, that it deserves for a long time, for much longer.

Can't wait for Tarboy 2: Revenge of the Crude Oil Bubble.

Interview with James Lee and Hania

Wanna know more about the two who created Tarboy? Well find out.

Examples would really help your case. Instead of telling us why you didn't like it, tell us what you didn't like.
