TheReviewTrickster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What if Pewdiepie Vs T-Series was an anime]

That was really solid. To be honest i didn't know what to expect, and i was pleasantly surprised. The action was surprisingly fluid, energetic and fast-paced. Upon further inspection, it also holds up in terms of continuity and logic. I really like you timed the diss track to kick up with the fight, it certainly was epic. I reaply like the, i guess, flaily style of action and the fight choreography was really nice. I have only two problems with it. One was T-Series' first attack kinda going nowhere and that shot being too short to see what happened. The other was the fact that the fight ended rather abruptly. I get that you'll continue it, but it's not much of a satisfying ending for this part. I gotta praise you some more though. I really like the way they fought with different styles. T-Series was constantly going for the offensive, while Pewds was using the "cooldown" on their attacks to attack them. A good way to make your favorite look cool in the animation, I suppose. The end was funny though.
This was really good action, you surprised me very pleasantly, but it could have gone on a slight bit longer. Anyways, I can't wait for the next one!

[Introduction :D]

I like the art. The cute stuff has been done before, but you had a different style for that shot of yourself at the computor. Either way, i liked it. Your narration was pretty nice too and i liked the sub joke and your kinda awkward storytelling style. Random derpy visuals were nice as well. Anyways, welcome to Newgrounds! Maybe you oculd make a vid like his for us (or not)
Overall a nice and fun introduction, but i can only give it a 3.5 because, well, it's an introduction, not really a story or anything

desporous responds:

Thank you for the feedback!!! It really, really helped. My style can be pretty inconsistent especially at the beginning cuz i did all these frames over a rly long period of time XD but again, i appreciate the feedback!!! I'll post more story animations cuz im more interested in receiving feedback for those :) thank you!

[64 Bits - Boy of War]

That was some really smooth animation. I liked the different ways Atreus messed around. The repeated use of boy got predictable though. Maybe this should have been shorter so as to not let it get worn out. That temple bit was particularly drawn out, waitiNG for the "Boy!" became a chore. I feel like it should have just been left out. I didn't really get what the problem even was. You could have had a nice joke with Kratos just knocking him out and then having a questioning "Boy?", but there wasn't a "Boy before that and there wasn't enough time to emphasize the joke, and the build-up was just really boring to me. That ending with Kratos' mouth was really funny though.
Overall the ending, some of the comedy and the animation were nice, but it went on too long with that temple bit.

64bitsanimation responds:

Thank you for the long review! The scene in the "temple" actually happens like this in the game. You need to motivate artreus several time to continue walking towards the chain. But if you don't get that reference then we totally see what you're saying

[Noname madness]

Well, it's quite short, and the shakycam is kinda annoying. I'm all for cool and energetic camera movements in madness, but when they're only done for kills and the rest of the time the camera is static, they just get annoying. The musc was also over-the-top and just too much. The plot wasn't explqined very well in that short time, the guy was hiding and seemed to sneak up on a guy he had some sort of arrangement with and pointed toward the gun. These things all seem unnecessary if this was arranged beforehand. The guy was also shaking, but seemed quite stable in battle. Then again, he did grab a rock frantically at first. It was just hard to tell with the camera shaking. You also need bullet lines, they make things clearer. The background outside was cool though. Please also credit whoever made the music and try to use non-copyrighted/ permitted tracks. Unless you made it.
Overall, it's too short, and we're simply not provided with enough story or information. Not much happens. It's cool ot have a mysterious plot, but try to provide some clues and show some things. But not bad at all if it really is your first animation, it was fluid and there was some nice action and strategy involved.

Buranch responds:

Thanks for all the tips, this would help a lot at my next animation

[The Apple Cretin]

That was...weird. But also cool. I like the idea, though it is a bit "why is this a thing". Guess that's the point. The animation was nice, and I liked the Cretin's look. Simple but pretty spooky. I love the way the styles switched as it bit into,the apple, that whole part was weird and cool. I loved the shot where he moves his biting spot, it was very....gory. his face while doing it and after he was caught was funny. I was going to say that the lady at the end gasps a bit too much and it's not really convincing, but, to be honest, it adds to her face at the end there, where it's just kind of a letdown from the gasping. But I do feel that part should have had some music or something to accentuate it, the gasping was still kinda weird. Those water drops at the start seemed to skip a beat with the sounds.
Overall, a fun(ny) little exercise in weirdness. You should just take a bit more care with the sounds, otherwise it was quite good for what it was.

Spooberino responds:

very fair, thank ye

[Robot rampage!]

The animation is nice, but it's not that original and lacks substance. Which makes sense seeing as it was originally just a thingy for your reel. The style has been done before, and it feels a hit too blocky with the explosions and stuff to be really satisfying. I liked the strategy of speed vs bulk though. The music was nice as well. The ending was a bit disorienting because the little guy's fire trail was orange, when his color is blue. The slow-mo was just cool, wince I'm a sucker for that stuff. Overall, not very original and pretty short, but I'm sure you can do better on something that you really care about a lot.

Furas responds:

Yeah, actually I understand you point :/ I know is not perfect and it not pretended something with narrative weight, just a action shot. As I said this comes from a part of my animation reel and there are some stuff like the vfx explosions and other with Im not fully satisfied. But this end result, desing and render wasn't in the original idea, it just came along the way and I felt it needed it while I was animating. At some time I took october as my personal deadline to finish this and the others animations and finish all yes or yes, just to not keep it any longer and start new stuff. So yeah, I know I can do it better if I want to do something serious from this, you have a point in that, but I thought this was cool enought to show around here, better that than hidden in my PC thought. Thanks for giving an analytic and constructive feedback its always welcome :)

[Still Spineless: The Tomb]

Wow, Vincent sure has changed. He's cooler this way. Makes me wonder if this is a flashback, but it can't be because Jennifer seems to be the same age. You probably just decided to make him cooler. Anyways, the animation was great, and I really like the more realistic style. The tomb itself could have been a lot cooler though. Just felt kinda overlooked. Jennifer's constant yelling of "Vinnie!" got on my nerves a little. She's like "Are you okay?", and no, of course he's not okay, he is at least 40 and he has fallen down a bunch of stone steps headfirst. I mean, it turned out that he was relatively okay, but still. If she sounded a bit more worried that would have been nice. And she sounded like she was reprimanding him for falling when she said "Vincent!" And couldn't she run down there and get him another torch? It's not so spooky you can't even enter the stairway. Then again, that wouldn't be very scary. I guess there was an agreement that he was the one who should go down, considering all the others waiting outside and scattering. I did like the tree though, and the way it's making him think he's turning into a tree. It would have been cool if you just left it at him actually becoming a tree, but you showed it's all in his head. That's cool.
Overall, I dig the style change, and it had some cool moments, but it could have been a lot cooler.

AntonM responds:

Hey thanks for taking the time to write these reviews for the older eps, I really agree with you about how things are a bit too slow sometimes and that I could push things further. I need to make things a little clearer too but still maintain some sense of mystery. Anyway thanks again for reviewing the toons and I hope you liked 4 :)

[The Srollection]

A bit too much repetition, not much substance really. I liked the second one the best, because it had some nice animation and was pretty funny. The first one was just kinda silly, and the part with the switching colors didn't seem very peaceful. The third one was just kinda short, though I did like the premise (and, of course, the Yugoslav angel). That was cool.
Overall, kinda weird and didn't have that much substance, but it had some fun moments.

Kolumbo responds:

Appreciate the review, as always! Agreed, there's no substance.
I do have to point out, however, that the first one being named "Peaceful Sleep" is a joke, considering it's anything but peaceful.

[John the wizard | Kotoon]

Very, very random. I didn't really like the way the opening narration was delivered. It's more like introducing two people or listing things off than a character introduction. The tomatoes line is just stupidly random. I did like how John turned into a wizard, though. Overall, very short and random, and I didn't like the narration very much.

Koray98 responds:

Thank you for watching 😊well this Video was just for fun :D a 5 Second idea

[DJ Supreme ft. House Of Hippies - War On Drugs]

The song is pretty nice, and I like the style. I liked the way the TV gives him the idea for everything. I thought the story was unbelievable, now I see why. That ending was great. I really liked that action scene. The way that guy started shooting was really weird though. I mean, the guy wasn't tripping in the trip, so why would it be so weird? There are no other moments like that. But anyways, cool music video with a good message, good job.

MHR-cartoon responds:

video editor decided that it should be slowmo scene and made that kind of decision... so yeah... it's one of many weird actions that took place in post
