DarkAlmighty's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Disturbing Mario!!!]

Fix its...

I agree with legorifat258, you had the hammer the wrong way. Actually never noticed until he pointed it out.
Another thing I've often noticed is during scene 2, Mario slides back as it pans to show the platform.

[Russian Dancing Men]

What Can I Say?

It's awesome, you're awesome, you made my day awesome.
I like how it sort of looks like propaganda. Really nice touch. I also like how it gradually picks up speed, something I've commonly seen in this kind of dancing (don't know if it was russian exactly, but whatever, maybe line dancing)

I know you said the tune was available on itunes and amazon, but since I don't have an ipod or unsure how amazon works, could you maybe send it to the portal?

[Moustaches]

Awesome.

Never seen something like this on Newgrounds before. Personally, I prefer short and simple.
I did find one problem with the loop: the longer you listen to it, the audio and video slowly seperate.
I love the ending chorus where he rocks out. Really great way to put on a finale!

Also, I demand a audio download if you plan on that.

[Goku's TV ad]

I'd have to say,

The best part was the credtis. Nice song, where'd you get it?

Critique time:
First thing to work on: Art. The hair didn't exactly match the art style of his body the first time around.
Second to work on: Though it wasn't bad, the animation needs a little touching up.
Voice acting was good; doesn't need improvement
Third to work on: length. Try to make it more of an ad, and not an arrogant bastard.
Don't know what the tongue was for, but I take it was somehing sexual?

Chimbley responds:

the tongue thing was my way of saying I want you

[I Have Bird]

Awesome.

Instant favorites. humbs up for making this.

[Nemesis.]

Okay, I see a lot.

A lot of things that could and/or need to be improved upon.

As you mentioned this is simply a trailer, so I won't complain about length.
Animation SERIOUSLY needs improvement, as well as touch ups in the art presentation. Quite frankly, this could be classed as nothing more than sticks right now.
The sound quality was just plain horrible. I could barely make out the lyrics.
If those backgrounds you used or some of the frames aren't yours (because they didn't look like it to me) draw up your own. seriously, it'll go a long way towards making this better.

Jim-Jam155 responds:

whats wrong with the animation and drawings... <:(

[Kirby's Toast(Full)]

OH MY LAWL!!!!!!

Oh, man, that sure brought a smile to my face!
Animation could've use just a little improvement, as well as the loop. Sound was off.

[Left 4 Speed 2]

"Look Ellis, it's Kiddieland!"

"Do I look like some sort of queer to you?"

Loved that line! Also, not sure what the Farmboy's name is, I just went with what it sounded like.

[Dot Dot Dot - Animated]

I had my doubts...

the description on the thumbnail didn't make too much sense at first, and neither did the title, but now that I've actually seen it (and understand it now) my doubts have disappeared!
Anyway, it's a great idea to do for a flash movie, and making it epic with awesome narration and music just made it all that much better! Really great job!

[Insomnia's Resent]

Wow.

This is some great work, and I can definitely see some room for improvement!
Now onto what I see could use some touch-ups:
For starters, there's the animating of the mouth. It was off, either the movement or the voice acting.
When you have some time to hone your skills, come back to this to touch up on body animations. They were good and fluent, just not good enough.
Another point to mention is background layout; when you did the panorama after Kilik tripped, it looked like everything was 2D, and that the street on the left was coming out of the second floor of the building on the right.
second-last is sound quality. I know you stated that it changes, but try to make it more fluent and synchronized to the body animations.
And lastly, try to incorporate some more shadows to the animation. It'll give it that much more of a dark or scary edge.

I love how the chromatic color blends well with the story, and how only the blood has any real color. DON'T change that bit, it's completely fine the way it is.

If you can manage all of that, I'm sure you'll do fine with any future projects or continuations to what you have going here.

HommicidalPenguinsCo responds:

Alright I'll look more into those things and I'll be really careful when animating. As for backgrounds. I am so truly horrible at them. But I will work on them. :D I will try for next time to get my audio to be more decent. I have others that have volunteered to help me with it.

Thanks I thought that the chromatic color with blood would work. I always loved things like that.

I'm going to try my best and apply everything everyone has told me. I wanted to post it up here and get critiques. So Thank you!~
