DarkAlmighty's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[M&L: Ultimate Attack]

Shit dude, this was insane! I really didn't expect the ending to come out like it did, but was impressed nonetheless! Nice little bit there with *disclosed character* at the end there.

5 5 Fav Really awesome!

TerminalMontage responds:

Thanks! :)

[Mario's Cannon Calamity]

Love It! Nice choice in music too.

Bigfoot3290 responds:

Yeah nothing like oldschool Mario Party 2 music :D

[8-bit Avengers]

Wow, what a pixelated masterpiece here. Just awesome, and I loved every minute of it. I was sort of a mix when it came to the cast, however. Not because I couldn't recognize all of them (Hawkeye and Captain, mainly) but because of their roles in the flash and their respective games. However, that didn't detract from my overall experience and pleasure as I watched it.

5 5 Fav Really awesome work, and I love the whole "coming soon in 2D" at the end there, really good touch.

Matija27 responds:

Captain is Cody form Mighty Final Fight and Hawkeye is Nathan Spencer from Bionic Commando. I choose Cody because he shares similar hair style with Captain :P. For Hawkeye, I was thinking to use Pit from Kid Icarus, but Bionic Commando looked better standing there with the other members.
Thank you for 5/5 :D

[The Greatest Song Ever]

Well, it wasn't horrible. Song was pretty catchy, but the animation could've ben touched up a bit. Not quite sure why you made all their hands circles, for starters.

3 2.5 I see improvement here

Flaxington responds:

Circles are awesome. But yeah, my style can be improved. Looking back at it when i first started with it, it looks 100 times better, so hopefully it will continue to improve.

[Stickman Can't Fight 5]

Getting better. Although the VA's are a little out of place, they're perfect for minor sentences, like with the Generic Grays (I got a shield!) or in the opening when Black yells "Leroy!" (part of Leroy Jenkins gag? rofl)
As for the VA on Rosa's threat, it was...odd. Although you were just using it for a serious moment, still, it doesn't seem suited to this kind of flash.

The animation was great, though is bound for improvement. I love the close-up shots, especially when Black gets pummelled by the grays, and Rosa and PV's faces; priceless!

You're only bound for beter animations in the future!
5/5 5 Stars and Fav

guitan11 responds:

Glad that you got he "leroooooy" joke :P and practice makes perfect ;)

[Bunnykill 5 Part 2]

Holy Awesomesauce!!

Three words, Blew my mind. This was a lot better than part 1 in terms of speed, fluidity, transition, and general epicness.
I especially love scene 3 , and I was wondering when you'd get around to something like it, that was the topper for me, and I give you 5 stars for that alone!
In terms of overall length, it was shorter than part 1, but who am I to talk?
I also had figured it was Flint behind part of it, from the glasses and ponytail. Now I'm eager to find out who's the mastermind!

Mottis responds:

Yeah, part 2 is way shorter becuase, well, I basically had the entire movie done from start to finish before I did the split into 2 parts. And it split kinda.... unevenly. And since both parts were practically done, I culdn't edit part 2 anymore, sadly.

I thought it was obvious that it was Flint from the start. The only reason I called him Flint this time was because calling him "BOSS" like in part 1 wouldn't make much sense, since he was talking to his superior in the ending :P

[Link's nightmare]

Hard to say...

I'll give you points based on criteria:
+ : Great storyline. Very original.
+ : Artwork isn't bad, but could use just a little touch-up. Animation (especially him running through the forest) could also use just a touch-up as well. Try to make it more fluent, it looked kinda choppy to me for some reason.
+/- : Music is good, but near the start, right as his "nightmare" began, it sounded like something out of Yoshi's Island before the Song of Storms kicked in.
- : Length could be improved. Maybe try and add more elements to his nightmare? Seemed too simple to me.
- : No vocals. I know it's a nightmare, but people still hear things. Even Navi, annoying as she can be, didn't have anything.
- : Didn't exactly like the awesome face at the end, even though I know you meant it as an OMG moment. Try replacing it with something more Zelda-related, though still comical.

xenadragon responds:

Thank you for the helpfull review!

To add a little to your criteria: yes, the animation could have been better if I had more time to put into this, I saw it myself too.
The story is short and simple indeed, I have a hard time making a story that makes sense and is interesting (I usually film) so I'm actaully allready pretty happy that I finished a story from A to B. :D
Now that I think about it you're probably right about the vocals, thank you! I will keep it in mind next time!

Thanks again!

[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

[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... <:(

[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!~
