BMack24's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mushroom Kingdom Ep2]

several nagging issues..

i don't have a problem with sprites in general, but not using them well is a different story. the animation had a bunch of long, slow tweens. need to work on making them a little more lifelike. also, the writing. there were many glaring grammatical errors that need to be addressed. either get someone else to edit or work on your english. the ending needs work, too. it needs to stop at the end and not loop around, and the music needs to stop at the end, too. and the way it slowly zooms in on 'productions' at the end is pretty annoying. don't do that next time.

[First Strike Four]

what??

this was... painful. i couldn't even watch the whole thing. the animation was bad and the writing was just terrible. besides just not making a lick of sense overall, i couldn't tell at first if it was trying to be funny or serious. it seems in lieu of actual jokes, you just throw in a lot of unnecessary cussing. though there was the 'hardon' comment, which i'm pretty sure you ganked from tankmen. cursing can be funny if done right (see metal gear awesome...) but it just wasn't here. work on the writing next time, seriously. god-awful.

LichCoil responds:

Yes funny and serious was part of idea when I did it. But yes, you got a point. I'll consider it in the future. Oh and jokes, yes probably I should do some proper jokes. The focus on this 'project' was for a rough idea of a storyline and somehow making each scene somewhat related to the next. Jokes I really didnt focus on, but in the next one Ill see if I can think of a few clever things. I admit I didnt bother trying anything with the intentions to make anyone laugh.

[Tamra]

nice

the graphics and animation were pretty good. the south park-ish style worked pretty well here.

but wow, you've gone that long without seeing each other? do you still talk a lot? i hope y'all get back together real soon.

[Marshie The Mallow]

not that bad

pretty good bit of fbf, but way too short and pointless. also, the name marshie is taken, and it's also the name of a marshmallow. but maybe you knew that, i dunno.

ChilliDog responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review.

[3D Animation Test]

title

the turrets look a lot better than the minigun. why isn't the minigun as detailed and stuff? so yeah, use the turrets but work on that minigun.

[Mastermind 3]

oh man

how i covet your artistic skills... anyway, mastermind never fails to entertain. i love how immature he is. i always laugh when he says 'and try not to replace the stain... with another.' speaking of which, i like how you included bob's tattoo on bob's character.

[Friends of Helimon: demo]

ok..

it's an interesting style of fbf, certainly... but is it going to be like that always? it would be nice if there was some color in it too, you should consider learning how to do that. and you can probably just do a search for sound effects and find stuff. (pm if you need more clarification than that, i don't wanna mention other sites and risk getting deleted).

[Jack owns]

compression?

this really shouldn't have been 9mb. i'd say you need to compress your audio. you can compress that picture you used too by lowering jpeg quality in publish settings.

[The Hanging Collab]

how delightfully clever

it's a montage of cliffhangers! i liked it, good job. but how come some arcs were finished but others were left unresolved?

ShirkDeio responds:

Thanks, I thought it was a good idea.

The idea could be developed more, as you have noticed that the ideas didn't tie in together, nor did some of the parts get resolved. This is something that will be thought about if and when the Hanging Collab 2 is started (no promises).

It also depends on how you define resolved--the blob in Trekopep's Treasure Island bit sank to the bottom of the ocean--was that a resolution? Ryan094's skater fell off a cliff, is that resolved? MrGlad's guy was almost run over--that was definitely not resolved =p

Thanks for the review!

[Its a Halo Thing 2/2]

ah!

i knew it! you sneaky sneaky man you.
