TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Celestial Awakening]

The animation was nice, but it seems to be creepy for no particular reason and without meaning. It's mostly reused clips from movies and one original live action segment. Nothing particularly memorable.

[Willow Wiggle]

Good looking art and smooth animation. Once I saw your names I was like "whoah!" cause I realized you had to be from the Balkans. Then I realized that willow wiggle was a reference to the tongue-twister and then, when I saw the Cyrillic writing I was sure you were from Serbia. I could have just read the whole description. Either way, simple but good looking short movie. The music was nice and the story was simple and unresolved, but not unsatisfying.

[Fighter Z Ain't No Show]

The animation and art were pretty nice. Humor could have been a bit less random and extreme. The voice acting was also pretty good. Also only about half of the video is animation, the rest is sketches/storyboards/I don't know. Usually you only include a bit of that while the credits roll or something.

Rovertarthead responds:

Yeah I guess I’ll cut that out. Wish Swfs would work so you can click on buttons again. No more havin your own menu screen or options.

[For Whom the Bell Knows]

Interesting idea and good animation. I feel like it ends a bit abruptly. I know that this was supposed to be his guilt that he can't get over but he could have at least realized something. The plot isn't the most original and it was obvious what happened from the beginning. There were these random bits of humor that didn't really fit the tone. For example, the bell slapping him with its.. *ahem* bell thingy. The voice acting could also have been better. The movie comes off as artsy, but not overly so. Keep improving and you're gonna make something amazing, dude.

coltenseamans responds:

Thanks and I totally agree with what you’re saying. Like the voice acting was my friends and professor, which was really nice of them to help out but I should have gotten some money together to pay actors at the university next door. A lot of blunders and ill planning definitely happened but I’ve certainly learned from that stuff :) I’ve got something in the works now and I’m looking forward to when I get to share it!

Thanks again for the critique!

[EAE - The Apple Theory]

Interesting idea and a nice message about love and tolerance. One could take this debate further if they wanted to, like, should I accept that someone's belief that nazis are great is true while my belief is also true? Ah well, it's a nice message in most scenarios. Just not that one I guess.

[EAE - Your Life Ruled by Seven]

No animation, but it had some effort put into it. Far too young to testify to the truth of this, although it seems a bit too straight-forward and linear.

[ANAMNESIS.fla]

This one seemed to give us a little more information than the other ones. I hope these are all just setup for mc11. If they are, it is going to be such a HUGE payoff. Do I even need to mention the music and animation at this point? I think we all know how great they are. Man, poor Deimos. The only reason I'm not giving this a five-star rating is because...well, it's a short.

[The revenge]

The art is pretty bad and it's not clear what happened. Did the bird just want to destroy the plane? Did it try t destroy the sign? I don't get it. Try to improve your art and animation.

[1234]

Cool looking piece of experimental animation. I liked the transitions and the face at the end more than the actual fight. The swords (?) look a bit too big and you can't really tell precisely what's going on. I would like a longer version to expand on the idea.
