TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BENDY WHAT HAPPENED!?]

The music was good, but you have a serious problem with sound mixing. The music overpowered the voice acting and sometimes the voices were really quiet, especially at the end, and I just couldn't hear a thing. The animation is very nice though, and I like the story. Really liked Bendy's freakout about Boris. Otherwise some of the voice acting was nice, some not so good ( I didn't like Alice's voice acting very much, and I just couldn't hear Henry's (izzat the other guy at the end? I forget BatIM lore)). The ending was nice, though I would have preferred to see Bendy go on a rampage. Also you should have taken out the beginning credits completely, the end credits are way more fun, and it's redundant to credit the exact same people twice. It just means it takes longer to get to the good stuff.
Overall, it was fun, but you had some serious technical issues and the story could have gone differently, which would have been nice. Oh, and I don't thin people in the 1930's wore T-shirts and hoodies.

[Still Spineless: Crows]

I've seen the series before, just didn't review it. Now I'm rewatching it to get ready for the new one. First off, the style is a lot simpler than your later stuff, which makes it harder to feel scared. Animation is good though. I like the story, even though similar things have been done before. I really like the killer in the street. The whole thing with Vincent (is that his name?) is kinda cliched, and his voice is a bit too silly. I really liked the way the music went up to insanity when the killer was getting close. The whole thing with the removal of organs is cool though. The sound effects were good too. I liked how the main character had to eat the crow. Nice detail in the background graffiti and posters.
Overall, not the most original so far, but it's got a cool atmosphere. I will now move onto the next one!

[News Nightmare | TV part 1]

The artstyle is cool and the animation is pretty nice, but the commentary is kinda weak. Shootings get a ton of media attention, more than they should. Trump getting engaged to Kylie Jenner was pretty nice though, I guess. I'd like to see more from you, just maybe take more care with the commentary.

[Your First Ark Survival Evolved Experience]

It feels quite slow and doesn't seem very funny. You should try making the text stand out more, it's hard to read. I just didn't really see any jokes in this, maybe they could have been more obvious. I guess he tried to use the stone pick on the bush? It was mostly just the stickman getting things by hitting them. The ending also felt quite slow, you should have cut the length of the sweat drop dropping down. Also chill out with the seagull sound effects.
Overall, it's not very good or funny, but you'll get better if you practice.

[The Gold Men]

That was funny! I loved the comedy, like the initial slow build-up to the guy jumping out the window and then taking flight, his repeated statement of not caring, his description of the gold men, the virus, etc. The animation was really good, and I really liked it at the very start. The difference in styles is interesting, I like how the construction guy randomly jiggled. Man, the way the boss ended up googling the gold men was very well done, with the build-up and him glancing at the computer. The virtual guys were awesome as well, with how they interrupted each other and how friendly and up-front they were. I loved how the boss just completely cut the guy off and gave him the computer. His naive joy at being CEO was great as well. I really liked the construction worker's understated reactions. The random guys destroying the computer were just...random. The slime monster was, too. The ending was great though, with the Rick and Morty style humor of us having missed everything. The concept of and construction guy's reaction to Trash Day was also great, and so was the trash can's inner monologue. There is a problem with the movie, though. It was loosely and quite randomly connected. I like how at the start it seemed like everything was going to be woven together by the Gold Men story. Hence the constant burning sun in the background. Then it just turned random though. I guess it worms with that Rick and Morty style humor, but some of it just seemed like it was a different movie. The look of the Gold Men was disappointing, I feel like it would have been better to have it end on the guy getting hit by a plane or going back or something, just as he's about to achieve his goal.
Overall, a funny and cool movie, but not very satisfying in terms of story structure.

[Too Much Candy]

That was some great music and a fun animation! The aesthetic is really fun and nice. I feel like the neon colors might get annoying in a longer video, but thia was just right. I really like the main character, she's so cute. I loved that bit of animation when she starts shaking the pumpkin. It just felt so energetic and that apple was nice too. The ending was great, especially the way she started yelling for her mom.
Overall a really fun little Halloween thing, perfect length too. Keep it up!

[Bunny Kill: Resurrection Collab]

The animation was good, but it wasn't that cool. There were a lot of parts that were just a bunch of shooting. I did like some of the more subtle kills and takeouts and the stealthy parts, and there were definitely some good bits, but it just isn't enough. @EKKiro's bit had a little bit of nice strategy involved and a cool shotgun kill with the leaping axe guy, but it was mostly just a bunch of shooting. This was a big problem, most of these were basically just "shoot, move, avoid bullets 2 feet away from the gun that fired them, shoot, shoot, move some more". And I have to say, EKKiro's laser sword part was very disappointed, the sword fight had no acrobatics and the kill didn't even have any blood and didn't make much sense. Leolion's part looked weird leg-wise and had a completely pointless airflip. @Andy442 had some great gore and weight/camera movements. Only little thing I noticed was that a shot that was directed a t a character's head went to their leg. @Madness-boy's part had some pretty nice action and a cool gore bit. Madness boy, you just need to practice your feet animation. @Spaderz' part was cool at the start with the kills and energy and camera movements. The part with the black bunny was nice at first, but it started to feel cheap after a bit and the cut to him being dead on the floor was abrupt. @Eshio's part was a cool intro and I liked the boss guy's death, but it was too short to be badass. Only the first stealth kill was really cool. @kota1337's part was great action and gore-wise. I really liked the guy who got killed off-screen and the one who walked off the building. Nice camera shaking, too. @Thece's part was awesome, really cool style and gore! And @GLaDOS55's part was probably my favorite. It took a while to get going, but the setting was really cool and it was supremely badass! The guy who got rammed, and the peeps who got absolutely demolished with heavy fire were great. The music was nice too.
Overall, some kick-ass bits but a lot was pretty mediocre. The plot also seemed inspired by Paradigmadness, unsatisfying, and put together hastily with that ending.

[Halloween]

That was a nice one. I liked the jokes, and it had a satisfying ending, too. I liked the bible lady and their choice of eternal damnation. The line "I didn't even have to take my clothes off" was great as well. The rich guy shooing them was nice as well. The various diseases were funny as well. The jokes in this one were also nice because they were kinda reocurring, as in different characters repeated the same things and had the same trains of thought. I really like that. Overall, a fun(ny) episode. Keep it up!

[Beyond the Fog: Episode 1 - A Rude Awakening]

A predictable plot, but you had a pretty nice aesthetic going on. The animation during most of it was choppy, but some lipsync animations and little things like that are quite nice. The action started out pretty nice, and I liked the papyrus skeletons, they look really cool. Beyond that first skeleton, though, it got so choppy it was just distracting. Three skeleton attack was still pretty nice. The voice acting was pretty good, but it feels kinda cliched. I can't say it doesn't fit the characters though. The character designs are pretty nice as well. Another specific thing I have to add is that the music during the fight kicks in very abruptly and doesn't really fit the situation, since it cuts out when he's choked. And the little girl's lips don't move for her first line.
Overall, not very original and has some general flaws, but it has a neat visual aesthetic and some pretty nice animation bits.

9Hammer responds:

I greatly appreciate your take on what should be fixed in this. In the future episodes, I'll do my best to flesh out the animations better and work on improving the pacings and sound design. Thank you very much for the critique!

[It's spooky month]

The voice acting was a bit annoying with the spooky month, mostly because you had to crank up the volume to hear some other characters, like mom. It was fun though. I liked how the pedophile just drives away and kidnaps a different kid. The graveyard was a bit boring though, cause nothing interesting really happened. I loved the repeated ooga booga screamer. The Santa thing was also pretty funny and I liked the demon dancing. The way Skidd just throws his phone at he wall was great too. That introduction with mom too. The little details on the graves and stuff were nice, but not too funny.
Overall, a fun little animation, but maybe it could have been better.
