TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[CHASER.fla]

So... looks like ana alternate reality/future Hank trying to kill... himself? That's actually a really interesting concept. Not badly animated at all for your first, even though it took yo ua while to do it. Some cool kills, especially the first one and you did have a nice sense of weight and made the rnemies pretty believable. Hank's jump when he threw the knife at the ATP looked kinda weird and some of the movemebts seemed a bit jittery, but, like I said, not bad at all. The antagonist is actually really compellingly interesting, cause his way of communicating is fun and he's believable in the sense that he can be hurt, but he's very fast and very strong, like Hank in that regard. I really like how they both deflected using ther swords and it was shown at the end that he couldn't really be stopped by just wildly being shot at. Really like how Hank desperately tried to block the sword with his gun but it got sliced like butter. The music was really nice, too, and I like the fact you didn't use any sound effects to make the antagonist too over-the-top or scary, in fat I think that made him scarier. He's silent.
Keep it up, you have some real potential and originality, as well as a good sense for story and fighting.

[Toon Boom Fire Animation]

Pretty nice animation, but since it has no sound and is so short, I feel like it could just as well be a gif in the Art Portal. Just doesn't have the traits of a "movie" in my opinion. But do keep it up!

Da-Goat-Cartoonist responds:

Thanks. I focused more on just animating it. So I might render it with some sound next time.

[Vengeful colours fight part 1 (Orange Vs Blue)]

Damn, what a cliffhanger! Really nice sound effects and music here, they really punctuate the action without feeling repetitive. The ation itself has some really nice choreography, though it could be a bit more fluid, cause this way it sometimes seems like one or both of the characters freeze before an easily-avoidable attack is deliverex, kinda makes their reflexes seem shit at times. Nice close-ups too, they're dynamic. The only one that feels off is the one where the blue guy turns white cause he's facing the opposite direction of the one he was facing in the zoomed-out shot. Also, you could have tried to have him stick out from the background more when he was dark blue, cause dark on dark doesn't make for great visibility. The one with orange putting his fists together was really good in my opinion, cause it gave the impression of him crushing the clones from the previous shot. This has a lot of potential and you really utilize some things very well, I'm sure you'll get to be really good with time if you keep practising.

[Panicked Run | Flipnote]

Maybe it could be a bit slower cause it's really hard to tell what happens. Also, I feel like since it's got no sound and is only 5 seconds long it could go in the Art Portal if you made it a gif. The transitions do seem cool though, and I hope you're able to finish that project!

[Gear up]

Nice animation, simple but fun joke. Lighthearted for sure, though I think the music at the end could have been more subtle or the epic music before it could have been louder. Just seems really aggressive with the punchline there I guess.
Keep it up!

[WHEN]

That was fantastic. I loved the music and it delivered the point very, very well. Catchy beat with an extremely serious message. The visuals with their transitions were sublime to watch, I suppose it's fitting when it's all connected and has one source. Really great creative visualizations, perfectly punctuating the sound. I don't want to say anything that will cheapen your fight, so just know that I live in an autocratic country, though it's not nearly as bad as yours, and I support your cause.

Totally2d responds:

The more I look around the world the more I realise that Zimbabwe is not the only country thats got it bad, when it comes to leaders who just don't care. Thank you for the lovely comment.

[END HUMAN: PART 1 (2018)]

Wow, that was... really interesting. Fantastic animation and I liked the style, though the demons looked a bit flat when they were unsilhouetted, not very impactful or appealing. The visual storytelling was great, though, nothing but sound and motion to get a very specific mood across, and I like that you went with more alarming than simple menacing music, a lot just go for the generic dumms and squeals. The music in this sounded like it had sirens incorporated into it. The slow, certain motions and sound effects of the red demon towards the end coupled with the dynamic close-ups make me think you were inspired by Samurai Jack or Genndy Tartakovsky's work in general. The message actually didn't go the way I thought it was gonna go. I appreciate that. We humans are not all guilty, but nature will pity none if we don't stop what we're doing. Do it for the children, something along those lines. It's not a coincidence a storm cloud is giving orders. Dark but well thought out.
Keep it up, man, this was chilling.

TNTBEEZER responds:

You summed up my intentions pretty damn well! Thank you! The siren is actually a passing train horn. Most of the music and SFX were from freesound.org

I am currently working on Part 2 and have been for the last 4 months after I completed "The Jellyfish of Justice". A vast majority of my progress is documented on my instagram @tntbeeler
An episode of Part 2 is pending judgment on my profile, so it'll be on there soon!
But it is already live on my website @ gusbeeler.com
Thank you for support and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[we all burning now]

The animation is pretty cool, I like that it's stylized, but the story isn't very clear. The camera also gets kinda weird when it closes up with a cut on something in the same shot. Just feels artificial somehow, I guess. I think if you had more variety in camera angles that would have helped a lot. The music was weird, it gave off the right feel though. The vein slitting stuff was pretty edgy, bro, I don't know if you should be putting that stuff in unless it has a purpose. The drawing of the pentagram also looked incredibly weird since none of the blood was actually shown dropping on the suit and then all of a sudden it was fully drawn. Try to work on interacting with the background instead of the character being the only thing animated most of the time, try introducing more variety of angles and perspective. Also try making the story clearer for future videos. Keep it up, though!
