TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Neo Nue]

Oh, I love this one! I really admire your dedication to creating something different for each jam. The neon 80's style here was awesome. And now I've finally got the story together. But more on that later. The animation was great as usual, I really liked the transformation animation at the start (yes, including the jiggle physics, they're significant to the theme). It wasn't really clear what she did exactly, I guess I didn't focus enough on the beginning, I was probably mesmerized by the animation in that part. After reading your description it makes sense and I understand why you didn't have time to do everything the way you wanted to. I like all the details popping out through the colors, like the bartender, the drink, the eyes, etc; as well as the somewhat abstract neon setting. The music was great as well. You maybe broke the action axis a bit at the end with the arm but it's quite minor. I can definitely see that the lines are kinda messy and there's variation in quality, but I think it kinda works. The red at the end feels uncomfortable, and the character feels a pure emotion of anger. The creature she turns into at the end could have been a bit more detailed and animated though. The end shot with dr. Brie was really cool-looking. There's a lot of weird stuff going on in this city, isn't there? As for the story, it's pretty clear. The fox in Prison of the Clairvoyant was actually this girl, she's got green eyes, the fox was green. She throws people into nightmares where they feel like they're upside down. About the apocalypse, I have no idea how that happened. Keep it up, get better soon, and I can't wait to see how you wrap this up (if you wrap it up for the next entry)!

[Space]

Can we get to 50 faves?
Yes, you can. This was great. Probably the funniest one I've seen yet, without losing the weird charm. It hooked me in, right from the start with Personal Space. That was a good move, since it gets the audience immediately wanting more instead of a slower, more psychedelic start, which would be interesting, but might make some people think it's going to be boring. Anyways, I really liked all the jokes. I've seen The Final Frontier before, I think, for the future problems jam, and I didn't like it too much. It was okay though, not a bad joke. The cat one was great, noth because of the catnip factory reveal where it was just in the middle of space for no reason, and the subsequent self-awareness. You guys have always been pretty self-aware in these things, and I like that. It contributes to your unique brand of humor. Spacefish was also pretty funny, because of the narrator's slurred speech and the space fish song. The ending of it was also pretty funny. MihaP's Space Trip was very nicely animated and interesting. It was a bit disorienting, since the Earth (I think) seemed to be in, like, three places. Then again, it is a drug trip. His skin melting also looked really cool and that glitch reminded me that there's more to this series than jokes. Don't do drugs in space was a great line. And, lastly, CzySzy's Mercury, Earth and the Sun was pretty funny too. The jokes were nice and I like the style. The "planets arguing" thing has been done before, but it was still pretty cool. Though I didn't realize that was Mercury, probably 'cause I forgot the order of planets, but also because it looks like an asteroid. Camera movement to look at the Sun's face was cool. The space reserved for Kolumbo was also pretty funny, though I didn't get it at first, I thought Kolumbo made the cat. Makes sense now. The transitions were awesome and so was the choice of music!
I can't wait to see more, this was a nice shorter and lighter one, but still cool!

[Grill]

The animation is nice and I like the style. The delivery could be a bit slower and even, because this way it doesn't really sound like he's aww-ing at the baby. The noises are also a bit weird in the second part. Like I said, maybe make the thing a little slower. The gag itself is funny though.

[pretty good friends]

I like the characters with how silly they are. Like the guy who just grumbles at his newspaper and the guy listening to his tunes. There's just something wholesome about them and their weirdness. I can imagine a bunch of photos from their travels around the world already. I especially like tune guy. He seems wise. The voices are pretty good, though they're a bit too quiet. Also, newspaper guy seems a bit evil at the end there, not sure if it was intentional. The end dance is beautiful beyond words. Keep it up, I like your style!

[Road Roughhouse (Synced Collab)]

Well, it was a good synced collab. The music was fitting and the hits were synced well to it. There was variety in styles, as usual. I really liked the one with the archer and the soldier. The one with the smol body big head guy was a bit weird because the character moved a bit weirdly. It was kinda mesmerizing actually, so I can't really fault it that much. There were also some nice gory ones, like Kayal's, which was badass! The Kirby one was also pretty cool, though it could have been a bit more varied. The transitions weren't that interesting, though I like how your own guy got knocked out by a sign. Speaking of which, your entry was really good. Ralvinity was also a cool gory one, especially when the guy's leg was cut into pieces.
As for the theme, I feel like you could have done a bit more with it, though it did lead to some entertaining transitions. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!

[Bucket]

It looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure what the point is. I guess it's what the description suggests-you just wanted to animate something cool looking. There were some interesting parts and concepts, but pretty pointless. Some sound would have helped a lot. You also used the same "fluid thing attacks the screen" thing 3 times. Try to refrain from repeating things in the future. The one with the mannequin was quite dull, too.
Overall, some pretty cool animation and visual ideas, but a lack of meaning.

[SUPER MAGICAL Underwater ADVENTURE]

The animation was very good and the style fit perfectly. It was quite enjoyable for what it was. It was fun and wholesome, and the music was fitting as well. The animation felt very flowy and smooth, which is a really good thing. I really liked the way they swam into the whale's mouth, too. It was funny how the smaller one got that weird outfit. I'm not sure how I feel about her being sad at the end there, though. It seems like they should have been happy, it would feel more satisfying, since they hugged and all. As far as transformations go, this was very cool as well. That ending was a bit weird with the music change though. Overall, it's pretty fun, though it does have some flaws that I've already mentioned.

[Tony's Bar]

I feel like I was intimidated into voting at least 3. The ending is great, and I really like Tony and the weird atmosphere. That smile he does looks like it's out of Rick and Morty and it's great. The voice acting is pretty good and fits the atmosphere. Keep it up, you've got something cool going here.
