TKM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MGS: Happy Fathers Day]

I loled

The reason I'm rating this as high as I am is because I just loved the part in MGS3 when Zero and Para-Medic talk with Snake about James Bond. I cracked up when you referenced that.

[Patchman:Simple Pleasures]

wow

I was expecting to write a review about how interesting your animation style is, and how great your choice of music was, but i was actually expecting not to laugh or really like the story at all, but that was a great ending. Nicely done.

[A Fire Emblem Short 1]

not bad at all

If you're looking for a little constructive criticism, I've got some tips for ya. First off, the animations were great for your first flash. The battle sequences were really well done, and the way the enemies flew off once defeated was my first hint that this was going to be comical in nature. I definately can relate to the sense of humor in this clip, the tone of the jokes made it rather funny.

The dialog needed work though. For instance, after the castle was taken, and the soldiers decided to go get lunch, it was funny but their lines were predictable. As soon as one soldier said "Oh well" and another said "What now?" I was expecting something along the lines of 'let's go get a pizza' or let's get wasted.' 'Let's go get lunch' was, therefore not very surprising, and also not quite as funny or witty as it could have been.

I can't tell you what you should have done instead, that's something only you can figure out, but you just have to keep in mind the mentality of the person watching. Making people laugh, cry, get scared, or any kind of involving emotion is really all about the psychology. You have to get inside your target audience's minds.

Also, as stated before, grammar is important when all the dialog is text. Watch your "there" "they're" and their", and "your" and "you're" and make sure you use the correct conjugation for the subject matter. Also watch the punctuation. A lot of things in your animation needed question marks when they only had exclaimation points. In a comical writing like this, it's perfectly acceptable to put those two different punctuations next to each other to portray an emphasized or flustered question.

[Saunich der Hejhaug]

hehe, neat

you're a pretty good flash artist, walrusguy. I can see I'm not the first one to say this, but there was some pretty apparent inspiration from david firth. i like that style.

[One More Brawl Taunts]

haha awesome

Hey, Rina-chan, people tell you all the time that you deserve to get paid for your voice talents, right? And that you have more than enough potential to be a well known voice actor in major productions? I'm sure you hear it all the time, but you just did again.

[Resident Evil 5 Unmasked]

haha

thought it was gonna be a penguin

VintageBro responds:

Lol the penguin from Batman, smart smart Lol.

[The Real Legend 3]

awesome

This is really great, and unexpected. The first Real Legend has been one of, if not my very favorite submission on NG ever since its release several years ago. No one was even expecting a part 2 or 3, but you delivered, and did it well. Unlike another epic Zelda parody on this site, which promised 3 parts and hasn't done shit about it in 4 years. I don't think I need to name said parody, as you probably already know what I mean. Great job.

[Perpetual Workday]

good....

but seriously, the subtitles have to go. they were distracting, and the voices were perfectly understandable anyway. Never force subtitles on people when you have decent voice talents already.

rockymike responds:

Thanks for the critique. If I had more time I was going to put in a toggle button to turn the subtitles off. I always get paranoid that people are going to miss something. I will make sure that gets done the next time.

Thanks!

[SS Bros and Sisters Brawl]

meh

It was entertaining enough to sit through, I'll give you that. A lot of people, i know, are way too critical on someone's first flash, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You could be well on your way to developing skills that could make you famous on NG some day. Or, you could lose interest and burn out. Who knows. Either way, peoples' opinions on your submissions don't count if they're written in a language you can't read. Remember that...

Shinobi1391 responds:

thankyou for the comment.
*Lapiz cuidao si te pasa....5/5 o te pico*.
