helmutlord's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gaybar : Guest]

All those Authors and you come up with this?

The only thing funny about this submission is your replies to everyone's criticisms. Each one sounds like you are barely keeping back the tears while pretending you 'just don't care'.

I think it's better just to realise that this isn't a very good submission and leave it at that.

Heil responds:

aww what a shame im rly hurt

[Pokemon Collab]

An impressive display

I have never seen Pokemon stick figures before... I don't know why I'm seeing them now.

More of a show-reel then something in its own right, but regardless - an excellent animation all round.

carstraft responds:

Thanks, I appreciate how you gave it a fair [fair to you, at least] score when there were things you didn't like about it.

I don't know why everybody is so anti-Pokemon stick figures. I thought they turned out great. [Well, I didn't care for Etch's that much, but MrAzn and Geo's parts were great!] Even if stick-figures 'take no skill to animate,' you can still tell that the people who made the stick figure parts are good animators.
For MrAzn's part, his effects are pretty god, especially the explosion part, and he uses some cool 'camera angles' and good cuts.
For Geo's part, not only are his stick figure movements really smooth, his effects are pretty awesome too.

Thanks, again.

[Not so Funky]

Yeah yeah

When I first watched it, I thought that it was strange and that it that the music did not sound like a violin.

Then I watched the original, and you've come such a long way since that that suddenly it didn't seem so strange, and the violin didn't bother me anymore. It's strange what some context can do.

Keep it up.

Kuoke responds:

Well electric violins... Yeah, I don't know what they sound like either I'm sure there's a way you can tweak them to sound similar.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Almost

I think if you really stretched yourself, you could take this from 'Animation Test' to 'Animation'. A subtle difference, but you're almost there.

Keep working on it.

pawlakt responds:

thanks, I'm actually turning this style of characters into a series, so check those out if you want a "animation" instead of a test! thanks for the comment though!

[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

[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.

[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 :)
