helmutlord's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Balls Fight X]

Getting close

I couldn't understand the end dialogue, so with that in mind here is what I think:

The fight felt like you were holding back, for whatever reason. It felt very tame, when what I think what you were going for was epic.

What I would suggest is that you storyboard your fight scenes first.

When you are storyboarding, you are a lot more 'optimistic' about what is achievable - then when you start to animate you actually aim higher than what you would normally think you are capable of.

Keep at it.

Imaru responds:

yeah, you're right, and for everyone who watched my animation, i can't put the subtitle,but it's says, "Wait,wait,wait, dude... Why are we fighting?", i ruined with that, i know XD, but, hey!... it's my first, i'm still being just a rookie, i going to make more animations and growing up with them', i hope you can help me with that you people n.n XD, I NEVER GIVE UP!!, really thanks for watch it n.n

[Fitting In]

Ha ha!

Dammit, I should have seen that coming!

[A Redneck Clock Christmas]

Missing

So instead of showing us the interesting parts, the bits we might actually like to see - you just vaguely describe them and animate the boring parts?

Not a sure fire to get a good score out of me. Sorry.

[madness xmas =3]

Hmph

Why are you saying Merry Christmas to yourself?

dragonslya responds:

yeah i probably should of put from between merry "christmas" and "dragonslya"

[Waving Flag Tutorial]

Good tutorial - Bad execution

The music didn't work (at least for me), the display was unpleasant and the text unreadable.

I got the gist of it from the pictures and music is not really necessary, but it is so easy to simply use the text tool... or at least spend more than a frantic few seconds scrawling this mess.

pawlakt responds:

sorry bout the music, there's an edit in the description explaining its absence.

[The Fear Hole - Episode 7]

Instant

My favourite of the series so far.

[Silent horror short: ants]

Aw man

Now I'm all itchy.

[Anicopters: Armageddon]

Wow

I don't give these comments lightly: Second funniest thing I've seen on Newgrounds.

Maybe I found it funnier because I didn't watch Freakazoid as a kid and I haven't watched 'the original', but I am going to vote 5 for this every day until it gets the score it deserves.

Right now? I'm going to watch it again.

Scythemantis responds:

lol, thanks! I didn't think it was a lot like Freakazoid until people said so, but they just mean the show did a lot of fake commercials and stuff :)

[Peppi the penguin]

Voiceless narrative

I was able to appreciate the story well enough, as the music manhandled me through the intended emotions.

As for the finer points however, such as why the smaller penguin was playing recordings of the Yeti in a cave with a Yeti in it, were quite beyond me.

Why would Peppi think the smaller penguin had been drowned over a period of less than 2 seconds, when penguins are basically honorary amphibians? It was kind of like tossing a bird off a cliff, or burying a mole alive.

Don't misunderstand me, this movie was far from bad - and do not think me petty, as I have no problems with large sound systems working without electricity or penguins travelling the world - I simply think the story points could have used a little TLC.

Skills

You are very skilled with backgrounds, music and creating atmosphere. These are things that many people are not good at - I am, and many people should be, jealous.

I would love to see you team up with someone for character design and story. You would be unstoppable.
