Shmossy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grom vs. Brom]

Cute.

The guys move pretty stiffly. If you could've made it more fluid, it would be perfect. That will get better with time and practice, though.

Your artwork is pleasing to look at, it has a certain charm.

I liked the gag. It just goes to show that even creepy alien warriors have nagging wives!

Good job.

undertoon responds:

thank you . . .for the advices!!
cheers

[CSI: Minecraft]

Nice, haha

Would've been better if he'd died instead, to fit the CSI theme.
Nice one though, I love all things Minecraft, and the ending theme song part was the best bit.

Falconer02 responds:

You make a good point. When I was working on this, I was thinking the same thing actually. I just wanted to tell the dumb joke as it really happened in our server. That, and your concept would have taken me forever to do considering I'm super lazy in the winter! lol but thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!

[Orions Spartans: Origins]

Nah.

Animation:
It would appear that the animation is done almost solely via tweens. It's too fast, and it looks jerky & cheap.

Graphics:
The graphics seem to be recycled in several areas, but other than that they're pretty decent. It's just a shame that they're let down by the half-assed animation.

Sound:
The music's trying to make the whole thing more epic than it actually is.
The voice acting is a tad cheesy, but I've heard worse.

Okay, so...
Origins? What is this? A rip off of X-Men: Origins?
To me, that shows unoriginality. Not only is it a rip off of a game series, it's also a rip off of a movie's name.
Oh, and even the name doesn't utilize correct grammar.

And, by the way, I enjoy playing the Halo games.
But this doesn't do them any justice.
For shame.

Poor job.
Try harder.

Enzer0 responds:

Animation:
Lets break it down shall we:
Take the highly successful animation "Broken Saints". Consists of Tweened animation Only. It Conveys Story.

Graphics:
Anime and animation in General Is all recycled. Prime example. Naruto Used fight scenes from other animes. Reusing your grahics is not a crime and saves time.

Sound:
Thats what Audio is for - To ENHANCE a situation.

Name:
And I quote "The Key to Originality is not revealing your sources".
What does Origins mean. Where something Originates. Use sense here.

You've never animated anything - You don't understand how things work. One person doing everything takes a long time. So please - You try create something that gets front page - and when you do, message me, until then - Keep your "Superior" crtique to yourself.

Bad Review
Try Harder

[Sketched - Therapy]

Really funny.

Loved it - the animation was top notch, and the humor was funny without being offensive.
Definitely going in my favorites.

sirjeffofshort responds:

Thanks, we try to walk that line without crossing it so I'm glad it shows. Thanks again for the review.

[Waterman (3D)]

Incredible.

I really enjoyed watching this.
How long did it take you to become this good at 3D?
I'm planning on doing 3D animation too, at some point in the near future.
The thing is, I'm relatively young, so if I practice a lot now then I'll most likely be extremely good in a few years.

Also, is there a way to increase the frame-rate in 3DS Max?
I've not got it, so I don't know.

Thanks for the brilliant animation :)

M1KES responds:

Well... i've been using 3d (not constantly) for about 5 years... but there is so much to learn, that you could spend 10 years and you still wouldnt know it all.

The earlier you start.. the better.. but you got to take it seriously from the start..

And yes... you can put the framerate as high or low as you want in 3ds max.

Thx 4 watching

[Is that.. Mario & Luigi?!]

Not bad.

The concept is hardly new;
however, it was fairly amusing and well executed.
The voice acting and the art fitted the flash nicely.
4/5, and recommened for the Mario collection.

DAGamesOfficial responds:

lol I know what you mean. and yeah Im glad all quality was up good, but I see what you mean about the not new thing, don't worry, I'll try to do something new next time.

[Rainbow Infection]

You must have been high when you made this.

Doesn't make much sense, but the art is nice and the animation isn't too bad.
Make something with more of a story next time.

Rutger responds:

There is a story in it. I just left it kinda open (:

Thanks anyhow :D
