Falconer02's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda: Majora's Mock]

ehhhhhh

All the critical reviews summed up--

Art BAD! Sound okay. Humor needs work.

That's all I can really say without writing 10 paragraphs.

TX2 responds:

ART BAD! HULK SMASH ART!

Thanks for the review.

[Hitler and Dave]

Damn! Was I supposed to laugh?

I just thought it wasnt funny. I know you did it as a joke and whatnot, but...it wasn't funny. It wasnt good not because of the redundant "you're against jews!" reviews you seem to be getting, but I didn't like it because it was just plain boring. It was a pain to watch the same animation loops and mouth movements over and over with only one camera angle for that long of an animation. Dave and Hitler...they were just ripoffs of family guy-ish personalities it seemed what with them talking over eachother and everything...It got really boring after the first 20 seconds. You obviously have the talent to create animations, so take it another way next time...make it more unique, give your characters different personalities, and make them do more then stand in one frame and talk!...Or you don't have to. I dont care. If this helps, cool. If it does not, just disregard this.

Irrious responds:

No you weren't supposed to laugh, you were supposed to suck my dicks. all 9 of them.

Pretty good

I'm not really in the mood to critque this super-heavily, but all in all I like it. Good job. It's difficult for me to say such things, so consider yourself a good artist. Your phoneme studies and facial movements are very impressive. The only flaw that bothered me were that the characters didnt move very much-- half of the time they were in one position, or you gave them 'cardboard' tween movements. They lacked gestures, and that's what truly brings a character to life! But considering the length, I can imagine that would have taken FOREVER to do, so I can look passed it. Just fool around with it in the continuing chapter if you want. All in all, great job. Cant wait for the next one!

BaconMask responds:

Yeah... I was aware of the popsicle-stick rigidity of my charecters too.. if I had a team of animatiors things would have been a lot more... lively? But alas, I'm but one man. Thanks for the reivew!

[Indiana Jones:QotGM]

I liked it!

You have great potential. This peice was great. Funny too. I loved the ending. 2 things I'd work on though-- It did run a little fast. The IJ theme song (which kicks ASS) runs for awhile, so free up some space and time it better. The second thing is remember to do a fade out at the end. After the movie theater segment, it just sort of cut to the credits rather quickly. It abruptly ended. Awesome work though. Keep it up....and remember to add a whip, nazis, and a 6 shooter if you got the time!

Hamslice responds:

...nazis...:D

[Robot Desire]

Powerful poetic presentation

Loved it. Very emotional. Poor robo. Did you write that? It reminded me of a great poem.

HappyCow4ever responds:

i some had it planned out..wrote a story board n such..it just came together..i have no idea how i did it..it was like 4 in the morning when i did it...but glad you liked it!

[Digital Freedom]

This goes in my favorites.

That was brilliant. You've taken a robot and made a metaphor out of what a real human truly is when he/she/it is weighed against the world. Simply brilliant.

I really don't have any complaints about this peice other than the art direction could have been just a tad bit better. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty damn good, but weighed against the GREAT music (btw, where can I download that beat?), it just felt a bit off.

But GREAT work. Definately worthy of the top 50 imo.

Godlimations responds:

thanks, m-e-t-a-p-h-o-r.... I like that word :) yeah yeah the art needs improvement, to be honest, i did this in spare time and in aweness came out on front page. if you would like to download the song? you can search on Newgrounds for the username "Jurrie" who's made the song "Digital Freedom" there you go :) TOP 50????? you kidding? I'll laugh... no seriously I will heh. :) what am I saying? where is my faith.. forgive me Lord :(

[Triple Helix Teaser]

Wellllll

Seems a bit interesting to be honest...but the music, the slowness of a few scenes, and the stereotypical anime characters with no elbows really took away the greatness of it! You seem to know what you're doing, so I'm judging you as a pro. If you want my critiquing, here it goes--

a.) The music. It sounds like you took a really bad microphone and put it up to the speaker while watching Rockman Neo. Either try to find the original track (which I have if you want it, just email me or something), or think about using a different song altogether.

b.) A few scenes, such as the title sequence, just seemed to drag. With "Back to Mad" playing in the background, it feels like things have to be going REALLY friggin' quick. Don't get me wrong, some scenes in there were great! But a few just seemed slow. Try to make a time-limit for scenes or something, you know?

c.) Anime Anime Anime! It's all over the internet. The whole style seems to be over-used. And what's worse is most people can't draw worth shit. You however are inbetween good and bad when it comes to the style. Work on the arms in particular...something was wrong with them and I cant quite put my finger on it! Or maybe just practice a whole different style or something.

Anyways, I hope I helped out. Needs some work, but if you take a few suggestions from a few people, there's no doubt your future stuff will kick major ass. Good work and good luck!

LiterallyLuffy responds:

Thank you for the "good luck" part.

Everything else you mentioned isn't really helping me out. I'm new to Flash. Not a pro. I appreciate you thinking that way... but, still.

For your info, I did not hold up my mic to Rockman Neo. I edited it myself so it'd work to my Flash (I'm not sure if you're a fan of Rockman Neo, but if you are, you should've picked up on the different sound editing). The quality wasn't bad at all, until I had to do the whole "streaming" thing, with the sound file.

What the HELL is it with people and anime?! All I here is "I hate anime!", "Stop making anime!", and "Buy me those pants!"

Why don't you just start saying: "Flash, Flash, Flash! It's all over the internet, people should stop using it!" That seems logical, does it not? (I can't draw anything other than anime...)

I don't know why, but, I'm pretty upset about your review.... With all those stick movies out there, you can't bother to give me an average of over three?! Kinda puts a hole in my stomach.

But, meh, whatever, there will always be the odd person out there, who will judge your work, professionally.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know what you think...

[Anivasion]

7 animators for THAT?

It was boring. I respect your will to exhaggerate stick men and boxes, but it has been done to DEATH. Not unique in any way unfortunately. I found myself bored out of my mind after the second animation. I highly suggest you go for more stylized approach. And the music-- we've all heard it before. Find some action-esq loops for each one of those animations. Hearing the same song for each one takes a lot of attention away from scene-movement.

If all 7 of you can draw well, make a full-length animation or something with more realistic/cartoonish characters. I think it would surpass something like this 10-fold.

TvP responds:

No.

[Combat]

It was okay...

Great stab to show off your early potential. It was pretty damn good compared to the other things I've seen tonight. A few things I'd do are--

Try to speak a little more fluently...I missed about 50% of what the character was saying.

Add a background or two!

Make your next movie a lot longer!

Try to do different poses of the character rather than relying on just the one side view.

Add better humor! I don't know why...but it just reminded me of some stereotypical 70's british humor bit. A well placed scream or horrid groan can do wonders!

And...Ah I think that's it. It's 2 AM here so I'm going to bed. Good work, dude. Jolly good show.

Elbatsnoc responds:

Thanks for the feedback, sorry the animation was a bit poor but your kind of comments are great encouragment to keep getting better.

Appreciated it.

[Troy]

Ugh

Sorry to be an ass, but I'm just critiqing it.

First off, it had LOUSY shots...nothing stood out whatsoever.

Second, DAMN it was friggin' boring! Sometimes it take a little more than a week to put together something enthralling.

Third, SOUND!? What the hell!? WHAT THE HELL!?

Sorry, dude. That wasn't too good. I simply gave you a one just because you worked for a week on it. DUST YOURSELF OFF AND TRY AGAIN!

Unknown-Clock responds:

im a little rusty i haven tdone them for a month so forgive this one
