reikiba's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Kawaii Adventure]

I don't think you deserve any points

According to your profile, you're an 18 year old male from England and very close to achieving 10th top contributor to Newgrounds.

So, your Author's comments alone make you creepy--and a liar. This animation just makes you seem disturbed--with it's sexual and homicidal undertones.

This flash is what I dream about at night.

[When You Wish Upon A Star]

pretty good

Quite funny.

No one ever thinks about what happens to the poor stars.

[The Faun and the Nymph]

funny

Nice facial expressions. Stylish art. Good animation. Make more.

[Family life to the end 2]

WTF

I couldn't follow any of what was going on with the story. Only certain parts here and there seemed to be animated, while elsewhere the characters just flip around. Overall, it just looks jerky.

It looks okay for blocking out the general action, but as it is, it just looks like you posted an incomplete work. There's not enough animation to keep the story flowing.

And stop the music at the end, please. The music loops back onto itself every time the animation loops. Right now, I'm listening to maybe 5 or 6 overlapping, out-of-sync copies of the music.

[Me improving]

smooth animation

The only real improvement was from the first to second animation--faster pacing. The rest were just trying different effects.

Now tell a story with them. I hope you can do more than just make them fight.

[The not-so green future]

good and bad

The art and animation looked really good, but I could hardy understand a word of narration--the tone sounded so muted. A better microphone would really help. Or subtitles.

[Pokemon: Fated Encounter]

wow

Really nice, fast-paced action. Very chaotic in a good way.

Simply awesome.

[RUSH.]

Really good

Really nice animating and scene setup. You use lighting really well too.

You need to add more weight to the guy's step when he's walking, though. Watching the close-up of his legs as he's walking, I didn't notice much spring to his step. His knees are bending but I don't gt a sense of weight. It looked more like a puppeteer was suspending his legs and just letting his feet contact the ground long enough to make it look like he's walking.

When he's in the street avoiding traffic, it looks a bit awkward when, after he slides on his back to get away from a car, he stands up immediately seemingly without pushing himself up with his hands or anything.

And when he falls down the manhole, there's no sound of him hitting the bottom. It must be a long way down.

[The Forever Woman]

nice try

Very cheesy IMO.

Art and animation were really bad. Although, if you learn to animate well, art is forgivable. All movement was stiff as it was. Animating her hair would have helped too.

The sound effects were bad. Don't try to be funny with the sound effects if you want to tell a serious story. The Mortal Kombat fx were especially bad to use.

The story didn't interest me in the slightest. Too cheesy-horror-film for me.

[Dailytoon # 401]

not that great

I'd be more focused on submitting quality than quantity. These shorts had no humor. The "Outcast Labs" one had passable animation and artwork and was barely worth watching. "Adam Ant" just looked silly, and the last one was about as interesting as an actual Nigerian scam.
