TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness the new protagonist pt1]

The animation isn't that good. I've definitely seen much worse though. It also felt pretty slow, and when the main character hits someone it feels more like a gentle tap. Keep practicing, I'm sure you'll improve with time!

[Surfing the Net]

Short but pretty funny. I like this animation style you've got going on. My only complaint is that due to all the voice altering and stuff, it's a tiny bit hard to understand. I got it after a couple listens, but still.

[Statue Man Part 1]

The animation wasn't the best but it didn't really matter and the artstyle was fun. I like the idea and the voice acting is pretty good as well. The face Statue Man™ (you gotta trademark this, it's a goldmine) makes when he dances is so derpy. I feel like you didn't really use the guy with the fast talking voice that well, he should have been talking faster. There was that one part where he did that but it wasn't enough. Overall, I think this has potential to go to some funny places.

LOTAC responds:

Thanks man and thanks for the constructive feedback. You know we played around with doing the voice faster but we thought it might be too hard to understand. Interesting to see how decisions in the room aren't the same of what people want. Next one will be coming in about a month and a half so keep an eye out

[HACKYJACK]

The artstyle is great and the animation is good as well. I love this aesthetic. It's so over-the-top and 80's and all the comedy ties very nicely into that aesthetic. I love the parody in this, it's great! The way he was viciously typing on two different computers to literally hack into the Earth. It was so cheesy and felt just like an 80's hacker movie. And he hacked the White House and made it purple XD. The music was absolutely great as well and it fit 100%. The voice acting was also on point. I love Hacky Jack's room, it's so perfectly 80's. Also Brunch Club. This was just a really enjoyable movie, straight down to the classic "Hacky Jaaaaaaaack!" at the end.

Joltzen responds:

Thanks for the review! Also you're the first person I've seen pick up on the Brunch Club poster haha.

[Hiro the Dense]

The animation is pretty good, and the artstyle is nice. There are some nice bits of animation, but it could have been better. I understand what happened due to the description, and it's okay. It happens to the best. The humor was kinda mixed quality. Like, some things I thought were quite funny, while others just didn't land. For me, the funniest part was the demon queen just utterly breaking down at the end. The sitcom ending was also pretty great. "And I'm dad!" was a nice one as well. The concept of a hero who's an innocent idiot really isn't that original but I feel like some parts of this executed it pretty well. Others were just predictable. The laying part was actually one of the ones that executed it well, at least to me. I also like Izilith's breakdown. The voice acting was good, but the effects sometimes made it kinda hard to understand. I also appreciate that in the beginning you can actually see that the S is slapped on.

ZedrinBot responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree what you said. I've made numerous notes to be more attentive on several related items for future things.

[Madness Hitm4n]

The animation is pretty good, but the whole thing feels kind of slow and not that interesting. Nobody except for the main character even fired their gun, or came close to hurting the MC. The antagonist sprite is really cool and the kills are satisfying. There were even some cool moments, like when that one guy's axe flew out of his hands and hit that other guy in the face, although the axe did seem to alter its trajectory mid-flight. Try adding some more danger to your animations, have people shoot at, maybe even hit the main character.

[Pixel Bytes - EP1- Sir Pixel Studios]

The animation isn't much, but the artstyle is fun. Some of the jokes are good, but some lack a setup. The waffle one was kinda pointless, it wasn't really funny. The one with the baby could have been good, but it just didn't feel like the joke had any buildup. Maybe if you let the joke sit for a bit longer. I loved "you have humans" and the ones with the sun were pretty good. Strawberry was also nice because of the guy's reaction and the simple bizarreness of it. I liked the cloud one as well, but maybe it could have done without the "I've been holding it in since Texas" line, it feels like it's excessive since the joke is already good without it. The team rocket one was good, but "I hope it turns out to be a scientist or a doctor" felt forced, it's not a thing people say. The mosquito one was meh, I like the idea of mosquitoes spreading diseases with syringes but I feel like it just didn't work. Maybe it was too quick and the sound effect could have been different, because you already used that one. Three-nippled hamster was interesting, but again, there was just no setup.
Bottom line, it's not bad. You have some good ideas for jokes, but you need to give them time and not add extra lines or things that feel off in the dialogue.

[Don't leave your Pokemon alone]

The animation was great, and the humor was ok, with the slapstick bit in the beginning and the anticlimactic transformation at the end. It just felt kinda hollow. It was short, the slapstick was really short and not that entertaining, the part where Charmander evolved needed music, or at least more sound, it just felt awkward. The pictures at the end were pretty nice, specially the one with the shirt. The part where Squirtle was watering Bulbasaur was kinda confusing for me when I first watched this, did they have a deal or something. It was weird and could have been explained better. I appreciate the faces when the tree thing happened and the actual anticlimactic reveal when Charizard transformed and saw what Squirtle and Bulbasaur were doing though. It was ok overall, but the humor wasn't as good as I thought it would be. You gotta be aware what parts would be accentuated by music.

[Glenda, the classiest galaxy tourist - Episode 1]

I did not expect this AT ALL. The animation is excellent, the whole thing is both fascinating and funny. The no-talking aspect really added something to the comedy and made it feel more serious at the same time. The anticlimactic ending to her jump over the barrier was great, and I like how the whole thing is just her doing a TV show sort of thing but having it turn out way worse and way crazier than one could expect. It really felt like she was a social media star old lady who's just awkwardly causing mayhem without thinking twice about it, somewhat due to the selfie, which was great. You should have had her do one while she was through the door or something, though that probably would have required changing her actions somewhat, so this is good too. It was a blending of two really cool concepts; the door and Glenda herself. The door presented something really cool and I really like the detailed way Glenda's actions carried over into the cityscape, and how not every time she touched the door her hands were visible because the clouds were there. It's also really cool that she ended up standing sideways because her feet were on the ground in the city. That splits-finisher and her floating legs were great as well. So was the dumb way she tried to reach the city with her arms. EVERYTHING about this was wonderful and I hope you make more-not necessarily more Glenda, but just more stuff in general, because I'm not sure if Glenda can recreate the way I felt watching this, because a big factor was the surprise. Then again, if you can come up with something new and interesting for the Classiest Galaxy Tourist, I will gladly watch that and I will surely enjoy it.

Thanks a ton for the detailed review! I hope you enjoy what it's about to come (I'm really committed to this show).
