TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Luigi Vs Mario - A Battle of Brothers]

I like this one. The music selection was pretty great. I assume it came from a game(?) The battle was pretty cool and the joke at the end was funny. However, the voice clips got a bit annoying. Particularly the 'Luigi, number one!' one, because it didn't really fit. It would have been cool if the bob-ombs Mario and Luigi threw at the same time hit each other in the air. I actually thought that was going to happen. Also, you could have had Luigi somehow acknowledge Yoshi's death. Pretty good animation overall.

FramePerfectJump responds:

Thanks for the response! It's actually VERY hard to find good voice clips for luigi. All of them I can find online just don't fit the scene, so I might need to rethink how i make these movies. I wanted to do more with Yoshi but at the same time I just wanted to finish work on this movie.

Thanks for the support!

[Pablo Neruda. The Men (2D Animation)]

Cool art and animation style. I have a bit of a hard time taking the animation seriously because of it though. Some of the monologue doesn't really make a lot of sense. "Three glorious zeros floating above this one" is a weird line that doesn't make much sense. I don't get where the one zero is. You definitely have potential though, so keep it up!

KarltoonLD responds:

Thank you for responding. The part about the three glorious zero's is actaully' Three glorious zeros that float themselves over my very own zero'. If that makes some sense.

[HANGOVER BLOOZE]

The music is pretty cool. This feels inconsistent and doesn't really know if it wants to be serious or funny. The voice acting was not very good and it was hard to understand what the characters were saying sometimes. I understand you're not native English speakers. The animation and art are not always at the same level all the time either. Although they do kinda work with the tone of the animation. It was obvious from the moment the newscaster started talking to the detective that he was gonna be the killer. I appreciate that you put some actual effort into the killer but it should have been more subtle. Also, the Boozler confronts the detective outside the news station so it makes sense that the items would be there. There was no reason to assume that the news guy was the killer. He said he dropped his lighter so it makes sense he would drop it outside his workplace. It wouldn't mean he was the killer. It's not like he saw the killer drop it. The eyeball would make slightly less sense but it would still be possible that the killer would dump it outside the place where the guy was found. It's not like he was trying to find it. The detective also finds way too many things by slipping. Work on your animation and art and be more careful with your stories. Repetition can get tedious, like when he slips on everything. Also you could ask someone for voice-acting help right here on Newgrounds. I can see you put effort into this so you definitely have potential. Keep it up!

SlasherFlasher responds:

Thanks for the critical response!
I really appreciate the effort you've put into your review. It's my frist real animation, so I was definitely not expecting this. Regarding the lighter, the detective pegs the perp mostly on the eyeball on the floor and his past statements. The lighter is only the catalyst to his revelation. As for the reporter, he is just as brash and unsubtle as I wanted him to be :P.
I'll definitely keep on doing this though, so keep an eye out!

[Birth Of A Heroine part 2 [draft version]]

No sound and the art isn't very good. The animation isn't very good either and the ending in particular looks weird. I get that sound is in the Youtube version and this isn't finished but I still have to be fair. Also the story so far doesn't seem very interesting 'cause we saw so little. I guess practice your art and animation. I am curious to see why the space guy seemed to shapeshift.

MeelisMatt responds:

Thanks for giving comment. I would have uploaded clean version before but i got really frustrated and wanted already to upload something. I make clean version better. ThX

[First Time Getting Stoned]

Another great entry. I normally write extensive and detailed reviews, but I've really covered everything in the last one. The jokes were again great. Keep it up!

RocketAdrift responds:

Thanks so much! We're glad you liked it :)

[Test.fla]

The animation is OK, but a bit robotic-feeling. Music is also pretty good. Action was a bit slow.

[The real world]

The animation isn't the best but it's okay. The message is nice. It would be cool if all the problems hurt him in a different way instead of them all using the same effect. Maybe some could give him a headache or make his knees tremble or something. It would definitely be more interesting.

[Madness: Project Tarvos]

The animation is actually pretty good, and I actually kinda like the slower, stealthier approach in this one. However, in the room where the 1337 agents are playing Uno, the guys with swords stand still too long. They could have been shown moving back and forth a bit more to show they're hesitant to attack. Then there's some serious confusing layouts going on. When the horned guy attacks, the main character runs right, and is next shown going left into a room we've never seen. First off, it's strange that he was able to escape so easily. Next, it's confusing because he went back and came into a new area. We assume it's the crystal room, because the left part is missing but we've never actually seen the layout of the room, so the first time I was watching this I thought he found an alternate exit and cut his losses. Be more careful with your layout and action axis.

[PAPERTHIN Chaos Ch 2]

The animation is pretty good. At one point, the robot's run was a little weird. I eagerly await the next entry to this series. I only just realized that there are more episodes than I've seen. Whoops. The ending twist was pretty cool, and the whole thing was atmospheric. Good job.

AguRex responds:

Hai... Thanks a lot. I hope to have the next episode ready soon.
