poetafit's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[My flash test]

Needs a lot of work

It was basically a slideshow. You need a lot more frames to make it animation. Even though most people will recognize Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it is proper to give credit for audio that you didn't personally create.

[Haven't Got A Prayer, pt3]

A little gruesome..

Funny joke, but really a little generic. That's about all most people know about JW's, that they knock on a lot of doors. Really the joke would have worked the same with any annoying door-to-door group, religious or otherwise. I'll give extra points for the song, it was a good choice.

Slackman responds:

It could have worked for any door to door group I suppose, but Jehovas are one of the more famous ones.

I was flipping between that song and Knockin on Heaven's Door, but decided on this one because Heaven's Door was too downbeat and sympathetic.

[Haven't Got A Prayer, pt2]

Went too far

The animation was decent, but a little wooden at times. The audio is a bit faint, I had to turn up my speakers, and I still couldn't understand some of what people said.
You had some good points and I saw where you were going (even if I didn't completely agree) right up until the end. The ending was just too much. It was disappointing since I felt like you just erased all the points you just had made by overdoing the last part.

Slackman responds:

I suppose I'm not the most subtle animator ever, and this was far from my most subtle piece. I guess I'll have to work on the animation a bit, and I really have to improve my audio. Sorry you didn't like the ending, but thanks for the review!

[Exodus Tyson Punched Out]

Maybe its just me

I just can't, find this funny. I think Mike Tyson deserves to be made fun of as much as possible, but this wasn't really about him. I can't help but feel bad for a little girl who died, no matter who her father is.
I'm not saying this should be blammed or anything of the sort, but I really wonder at why anyone would find it funny. That's my two cents.

[Kara Dioguardi badger]

Nice

Don't forget to give Weebl credit for the music. You put a lot of work into this, just make sure you give the right guy credit for his music.
The animation itself is nice. It looks like you put some work into this.

[Happy Cutie Bunny Easter!]

Funny is subjective

Believe it or not, I see what you are trying to do and I get the point. On the other hand, I don't enjoy looking at mutilated and decaying animals.
While the idea is somewhat creative, the flash itself is pretty much a slideshow after the first little song.
This doesn't affect your score, but I found the explanation to be a bit pretentious (and a little ill-informed).

[Madness Retribution Pre.]

Not bad

Not great either, just a couple of short clips. The clips look good and the music fits.
One question... who's right to vote are you talking about? (If you don't get the joke, check the dictionary for "suffrage".)

FClock responds:

I didn't say suffrage... I said SUFFERAGE!!

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

Really good parody

Like all parodies, this won't make a lot of sense if you're not familiar with the source. Rorschach petting two german shepherds and Ozymandias saving the comedian will only be understood as jokes if you have read the comic. Great humor and the animation matches the old Hanna-Barbera style.

[Battletoads Numa]

Not even close

The Numa Numa Dance was an actual dance-like choreographed movement. You looked like you didn't even know what you were doing and were making it up as you went. It looked like you were alternating between slapping mosquitoes, scratching an itch, looking behind you, and having a mild seizure, all while bouncing on a pilates ball or something. You need to plan something out if you want to get anywhere with this.
Honestly, if you want to do well with something like this, you are trying with the wrong audience. Most people on Newgrounds will never accept this because it is not animation. Right or wrong, it is simply a reality.

[Rush - The Trees]

Not Bad

It was a fairly good contribution. The trees all looked exactly alike though. I'd like to have seen the oaks and maples look different, like oaks and maples do. The commentary was a good way to fill the middle with something interesting.
I have to say I disagree with your conclusion that the song is about civil unrest, in particular the civil rights movement (my view on this in no way affects the score). The ending in which all the trees lose in the attempt of making everyone equal lends to other interpretation.

Arch-Angel responds:

good point!
