nukyew2's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Castle Repercussions - C]

Ugh...

The main problem I have with this is a couple main things that some people already pointed out.

The whole stick figure thing was actually ok, although it's not in good taste. You animate and draw very well, so I can understand if you started this on sticks and will end this in sticks. I just don't prefer it really.

The thing that just drove me over the wall is the eyes. Sure it's a cartoon, but I hate it when people constantly attempt Anime eyes. You did it ok, but honestly I dislike it greatly. It kinda looks bad when 2 mouths can fit inside an eye that big. What's so hard about keeping proportion? The detail adds touch, but it honestly should not be apparent, it should be kinda small because eyes ARE small. The eye brows were alright, but I honestly didn't like their size either.

The shape the whole eye socket is in is a little exaggerated, it just looks mad all the time. And it sucks worse that the whole eye is just massive.

A nose is nothing I would complain about, honestly sticks don't need em' XD.

Lastly, I think the way you were trying to dramatize this was bad. You aimed high when it came to dialog (I guess that would be on TomaMoto's part) but it was just overly-done and I couldn't feel it. But hey, I get that way with almost all animations because it's hard to do effectively.

Good work, just didn't like alot about it.
5/10, good animation, no so good drawings and not so good execution when it comes to emotion/acting.

[Santa Went Crazy, Night]

Nice!

This one was alot like "The Night Santa Went Mad" by Shaferanimations. But thats alright, this one was still great! Especially for a first animation! The only thing I could suggest is the running, instead of making the whole leg move, have different points of movement (i.e.: Knees, Ankles, Hips, etc) so you can tell where the ground is! Good job! This deserves my 10!

[Rise of The Tails Doll]

Potential

I think this has potential!

My verdict: Go with it!

[MGS Crappest Codec Convos]

Idiot

Seriously, "Little-Red-Bear" is an idiot. You dont go to another flash and rate it bad just because their flash was rated bad. Idiots these days.

It was good! I would have rated lower, but at least you acknowledged you had some problems with this (Like a bad mic), rather than telling people to vote 5's. Good job on that part! It was also hard to hear, so I recorded it myself, and increased the volume using Audacity. It was pretty funny! I'll only complain on the drawings, at least put something more into it, ok?

Great job!

[Creature of night part 2]

Chill

Ok, I wasnt going to write a review, but I will. Mainly because of your attitude towards people.

Heres my review on the animation:
2+ minutes is about the length of the whole thing.
18 seconds is how long your little 'animation' was.
You took up 4.8 mb of space, for something thats not even as long as a minute???
Thats just plain wasteful. I would assume this could take maybe 200 kb. But not that much space. You have to end the animation when its over, not when the music is done. Next time, convert your last frame of ANIMATION into a keyframe and in the actionscript window of that frame, put in 'stop();'. Its very simple, and its saves a ton room.

The action, was pretty bad. In the beginning when the monster was running, nothing moved except him. All that moved were his legs, the explosions, and the clouds in the back. Why not the backround? To make it look like a character is running, you have to make the backround move in the opposite direction of the character.

About the monster's legs, why did they all move at once? There is practically no four legged creature that moves with all four legs at once. Not even a monster with four legs would do that. Wanna know why? Because it would fall over! It just doesnt add up. And dont say something like "well there are some that do", thats not the point. Its not even moving, and the legs are not nearly going fast enough to actually achieve something like that. Hell, not even the cheetah does that! And thats one of the fastest animals on Earth!

Then we go to the creature itself. Its not really detailed, but thats ok. Things dont need extensive detail to be good. Like 'Madness'! In the beginning, all the characters were simply drawn out, and it still looks good today! But do drop the gradients, they look bad on a character. Even on a monster. Remove them.

Now why was the monster in the animation looking at you the whole time? It doesnt even move its head! It just stays the same! Make it look forward, because it doesnt make sense for it to stare at you the whole time.

The plane. It was somewhat decent. Why were the machine guns pointing off in a different direction than the plane itself? Make them point in the same direction the plane is pointing. The glow in the front shouldnt be there. Or at least make it smaller when its firing and make it look like its going outward, not inward. Draw something to makes it look like the plane is actually moving, not just floating up there. Like make some stars in the sky that are moving as the plane flies.

Explosions, they were bad. Im sorry Im not giving you thumbs up everywhere, but you need to know what you did wrong. The explosions were just too simple. Animate your explosions. Make fire burst out the sides, make dirt fly up, draw smoke rising out. Dont just half-ass a little fire with a glow. Making it fade away was the only good part about them. You at least got that right.

Now we go on to the human. He was actually one of the better drawn characters. But his death was just plain boring. People dont want to see a creature jump on his back and have body parts just drop to the ground! They want to see him turn around in fright, try to run away, and see the creature impale him! As he's screaming the creature should like tear him in half and rip off his face! That would be epic! But all I saw was his head and arms fall off, then showing him on the ground with some lines for blood and then some piece of him magically appearing in the creatures hand for him to swallow up! WTF?!

Finally, the backrounds. Please, for the love of anything, make it more than just a rectangle for the grass and the sky! and animate SOMETHING that gives the appearance that the creature is MOVING and not just standing there with his legs slitghtly tweened!

Now your responses to reviews. I wont go all detailed, but you need to chill your ass out. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT CRITISIZM! If people rate bad ACCEEPT THAT! Just because someone has not submitted, doesnt mean they cant review. If that were true, then we would not have move critics. Thanks!

Little-Red-Bear responds:

ok.

[Techno Unleashed!]

Ugh

It would have been nice if you actually animated it rather than just tween/shape tween everything and add little "expand" or "explode" effects in every bit of text. It was really boring too. Not much was going on.

But dont get me wrong, this is a good start. Just try to do it yourself, rather than having the program do it for you. Because then it doesnt show what you can do, it only shows that you can press a few buttons.

disdude responds:

well not all the effects where just teening, the title effect, when it twitches with the music, was me! and the line tricks had no tweening in it what so ever!

but thanks ill take that into consideration when i make future flash!

[The Red Button]

copy

There are so many copies of this same game. Except this one was too short, and said almost the exact same thing.

Dull.

[Colliseum 3]

mix

It was really choppy. You need to lengthen some shots so that we can see them longer and understand whats going on. The music was ok, but it filled the whole animation. You should probably add voices too if you want the dialogue to seem more real and to help improve lip syncing. Thats it.

canabalistic-pacmen responds:

Thanks for the review sir.

[Random Animations!]

Uhhh

Uhhh... All I can say on this one is wow. That completely blew my mind and totally liquified my kidneys. The most life changing flash of all time... omfg.....

disdude responds:

are we talking about the same thing...? what?

Thanks i guess! thanks a lot lol!

[LL - Ban Day Adventure]

Huh?

Why did their lock 'faces' move around so much when they talked? It looks like retarded monkies trying to tell one another that they are on fire.

Anyways, I liked the story and the diolauge. 9/10

CapnChaos responds:

Thanks, lol.
