Loath-some's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dining with the Devil]

Very brave

I must say it was very brave of you to submit a such mature told story. With that I mean; more mature audiences would probably get this kind of story. Younger people might would have given the comment "I don't get it!" Yet, the story could have been dragged a little more. It was just on the edge of being too short.

The texture was really adding effect into this animation, I really liked it. Some of the drawings could have been a little better but that's alright.

Keep this up, I would really want to see something like this from you once more.

[Jesus vs. Godzilla]

What happened?

It started good with the silent sea and the city. And how the guy played his video game without noticing. The dramatic scene with the girl was also perfect. The fight started and it was pretty neat what you did with the ground idea there too.

But it's here it all took a big turn. From all that to and DBZ looking fight with super powers. Jesus turns into a transformers robot and they fight with swords and magic while the monster all of the sudden too got magical powers. They jumped around a bit and in the middle of the fight; TO BE CONTINUED.

What?

That made no sense. You should have kept some "logic" while you had it but you let it slip right through you at the end. Also, the drawings were pretty sketchy (art term for that would be "chicken skratch") try to make your line art clean in the next episode.

What I think you need to practice mostly is your way of writing the script. After you have written a script, read it out load for yourself. And ask yourself; does all this connect? Because I don't think this did.

[Crazy Noises]

erm

"Ok, this wasn't meant to be fantasmical. But a friend forced me to publlish it so..."

Punch him in the face then. If you know the flash is garbage yourself, not funny nor interesting to watch at all. Why submit it?

No seriously, punch him in the face. And maybe post that, I'd laugh at that at least.

WAAANIMATION responds:

Well I may have thought it was really bad, but he was so sure that it was funny and good. I dnno. I was going on the logic that you can't judge your own work. Anyway, hang tight, I have proper, good flashes coming in the future, thanks for the review

[Just a Pilot- Short1]

rofl

I loved the "super fast" idea and the tweens were very nicely made. Although, the whole REMIX REMIX FFFF part was a bit annoying and didn't make much sense. And I didn't like the line "I GOT TO GO TO WORKAHAHAHAHAH" for some reason, it felt a bit of a "trying to hard" kind of line. This could have been a lot better but I got a good laugh out of it anyway.

So, nice idea but the story could have been a little better.

[LL - Wine's bad day]

ahahaha

When I first saw this in the portal I told myself: Ugh.. another boring LL movie.
But, I was proved wrong. This was hilarious. I usually dislike LL flashes but this really made me laugh.

It was greatly tweened too, I especially liked the rain effect you did. And when the lock looked up before the car came, that was pretty neat stuff.

Good job man.

[rtil_gayness.swf]

ehh

basically art thief.

all art except for like 2-3 frames were made by rtil.

[Mindy Learns a Moral]

It was alright

I can see you really put in time and effort into this project. I like the story, even if it was a bit silly. I think that the audience for this flash would be around 11-13 years old though. The silly jokes worked for awhile, but it got so dragged out in the middle.

The exaggerated lip sync was the most funny part of this. But there's a problem there though. The bodies are not as interesting. Take Ren & Stimpy for an example; They use the body language as much as they go by facial expression. You should do that too and it would look a lot better. You should try it sometime at least.

You should also talk with the voice actors for the next creation. Because the voices were a bit gloomy. A good example of that is when the phone "screams" at the others but it comes out more as a whisper. The voices must have more emotion to be interesting.

Yet, you should get a big credit for the storyline. It's like something you'd see on CN. Myself, I usually have big problems with coming up with ideas like this one. So good job on that.

Hope to see even better things in the future, I'm not going to miss it.

TmsT responds:

Watch it again please. There was plenty of body language. Just because the bodies weren't always moving on every frame doesn't mean they had no expression. There is expression in stillness as there is in movement, just as there can be humour in sadness, hope within despair, and seriousness within a world of stupidity. As you get a feel for how animation works, you'll see that you have to have contrasts and extremes of motion and stillness, otherwise it becomes impossible to track, expecially when the characters are simple.

I don't think you understand voice acting either, but that's okay. Most of my voice actors do. Some of them are learning, but for the most part, they're really good.

[I.E.S. ep.1]

up and downs

I like the idea and the story. The jokes were funny and I'd sure want to see more episodes. Although, I'd like to see more fbf than tweens. It makes the characters more alive. Even if that's much more work, it's worth it.

[Jill]

Great

I love the feeling in this, the graphics and the environment is perfect. The voiceacting is also very good. It could have been even better if it was just a little bit longer so the viewer gets into the flash more before he jumps. Like closeups, they are always good. Closeups at hands shaking and the face expression and stuff.

However, keep this up!

[Aladdin 3150]

Nothing is perfect

This has both bad parts and good parts. I'll start with ...

...The good:

I loved the charm in the start. The way he took the apple and gave it to the boy, how smooth everything went. The mystery of the hero was also very interesting to watch. The animation was top notch, good job on that. You have a really nice animating style and same goes for the drawing.

...The bad:

It was hard to understand and to follow.
From sensual to a brutal monster? That's a choice I shouldn't have taken. You should have kept the charm through this cartoon. I understand that this is the "future Aladdin" but the feeling just disappeared when he all of the sudden turned into a monster and ripped the bad guys to pieces.

Nothing is perfect but keep aiming for it!
