TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness- Confabulation]

I like the alternate style. Animation was good, but lacking in some parts. The gore is accentuated by the style so it feels more extreme. The music was good. Went by a bit quickly and some things felt a bit unsatisfying like the main character's death.

[You can not kill Hank]

Cool animation style and some great gore and animation. The style really compliments the gore so it feels much more brutal. Quite a dark message it's sending. The music also fit really well. I like how it doesn't lose the sense of fun, as seen in the intermission. Awesome animation!

[Bad Dream]

Not very much animation, but the art is okay. Too centered around the song which has nothing to do with actual bad dreams. Imagery doesn't seem to have much to do with the song. Also, the ending doesn't really seem like it was a bad dream. She was just dreaming about a random person singing about someone she doesn't like. Try to connect more to the theme next time and have less of it be just a barely animated person singing with nothing happening.

ToddCircle responds:

Sure, all fair points.
But but but, said random person is her mother and dream imagery was taken from stuff in the room.

[SLIPSTREAM - ANIMATED SHORT]

The art and animation are pretty good, but the 2D looks better than the 3D. The biggest problem are the voices, which are pretty quiet and accented so they can be hard to understand. You might wanna tone down the music and car sounds when people are talking. If you need help with voice acting, you can always ask in the forums here on Newgrounds. The music is good. Nothing too interesting happened, I feel. The race wasn't that tense since there was barely nay buildup and it happened right in the first episode. Then again, I'm not very into racing so maybe it was that. I can see potential in this, keep it up!

[SCP Containment Breach Animation | "Beware SCP-173"]

Good art but not really any animation, which is fine for something like this. However, I wish you did more than just read the description. You could have used more interesting parts from the actual SCP. There's no real fitting ending because of this.

Drowsierstone responds:

hmmm ok, I will keep that in mind.

[Rabbit Travel - Smoke is Bad for Health]

Great animation and cool visuals. The message is true although a bit exaggerated because the rabbit just started smoking and he's already dying. Although that is sorta the point.

[Everyday]

Feels kind of incoherent, and I don't understand what happened in the end. The music, while good, didn't really fit that well. There was basically no real animation, but the art style could work. The story, like I said, is confusing and unclear. A lot of the shots drag on too long. Klariza seems to switch between happy and sad facial expressions in a weird way, like when she's first looking through the window. I guess work on drawing facial expressions. Also, try to practice your animation and try to cut down on shots that are long loops.

[Vending Machine Melee]

Very well animated, but the art isn't that good. I quite liked the fight, it felt very energetic, and you had a strong action axis the whole time. I suggest you just try to improve your art. Also, don't think I didn't see that guy with the Tankman shirt in the background ;)

SuperLME responds:

You have a point when it comes to the art. I made this in 3 weeks,and focused on the animation more than the art. I could of done more with the backgrounds and the character designs.
Thanks.

[Bad Dream :(]

Good animation as usual. Pretty funny, too. It wasn't very obvious that anyone was having a bad dream, though. It was also a bit short, but it was made for a jam. I was kinda expecting a dream sequence to be honest.

ChutneyGlaze responds:

Expect the Unexpected!

[Gotta Catch 'em All]

The surreal animation style fits well, especially knowing the ending. The animation itself is also great. I knew how it was going to end, but still, it had a strong sense of both fun and reality, so I kinda had hope for a moment. A good animation with a strong story and symbolism. The only thing that I didn't like were the voices, which were hard to understand. Good job.
