poetafit's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Elements preview]

Borrowed too much from others

Every artist has influences on his work, but I think you've crossed into copyright issues. Particularly at the end when you see what is clearly a character from Bleach. Before that, he looked a lot like a character from DBZ with different hair.
The dialogue was a bit heavy handed, you don't need to put such a heavy emphasis on certain words and phrases. Try talking like you're talking to a friend in the same room, rather than making a speech.

i did this fairly quick to get the idea outhere and see if it was worth spending time on because im not gonna spend a billion hours on something and then nobody likes it... its just the way i am

[TTOS- Official Teaser]

Not bad

Nicely arranged for a teaser. The art is good, but could use a little polishing in a few spots. In particular the first guy's face was a little out of proportion.
The music was good except that you switched too many times. You have about 4 different themes throughout the trailer, which is too many. I can't tell if it is one long clip in the middle or two clips, but the music makes a change nonetheless. I'd recommend that you try to stick to two, maybe three different music clips at the most.

cris17 responds:

i think that might have been the music track its self, i dont believe i went over 3 but i may be mistaken, oh well thanks for the info ill take it into thought :D thanks for the review!

-edit-
ahhh yeup i did go over 3. lol alright alright ill take that into thought next time :P

[MJ - In The Closet dance]

Hard to rate

I have a hard time rating videos like this because of the comparison factor. Putting a camcorder on a tripod and shooting a video is fine, but it is hard to rate in comparison to animation. How do I compare a video to a frame-by-frame animation fairly. It is for that reason that I tend to say that videos like this are better reserved for YouTube (I am aware that this is only my opinion).
As for the video itself... not too much happening. You did the same dance moves most of the time, with a few others thrown in from time to time. It was like you had more music than dance moves to perform. Maybe a shorter song would help?

No love for FFF, but...

You've done the same thing I've been telling them to avoid, namely failing to give credit for audio.
At least I see you attempting to put in a little animation, but this needs a lot more work.

[Tall 'n Short]

Funny

Almost nothing happening as far as animation, but the dialogue makes up for it. Is that even my name?

[The Edgecrusher Collab]

Not the worst Turd

This isn't going to be a glowing review, but on the other hand, I've seen a lot worse. You have a few things going for you.
First, it seems that there was at least some effort here.
Second, you attempted to create a story to tell.
Where you lost a lot was the execution. The animation alone was very choppy. The music didn't quite fit the animation either. Also, you had those lines, which didn't make a lot of sense, were they HP or something?

[The Dungeons and Dragons]

Funny

Great joke, unfortunately it was a little more than my computer could handle towards the end. I like the style of your animation, even without mouths or elbows you manage to convey the story well. The voice animation is nice too.
For a sequel: Magic, the Gathering.

[There She Is!! final step]

Great Finale

I'm sorry to see the series come to an end, but it was a good ending. I can't wait to see your next project.

[jesus party]

Theologically troubling...

Good animation and good artwork. The basic concept of Jesus celebrating his birthday/Christmas was great. It was also a pretty funny touch to have Jesus get a ride home in Santa's sleigh, although I wonder why Satan had it.
On the other hand, the jokes were good, but as I watched it I felt like you went for the easy jokes a little too much. Jesus drinking, Jesus with a girl, Jesus being mean to someone, are all a little heavily used. There might have been some good humor to be found in changing water to wine or multiplying food.

[Athiest Flipside]

Turnabout is fair play

You get a some bonus points just for a goo concept.
Execution was a little strained though. The dialogue especially was difficult to follow at times. I never did completely get what he whispered at the end. In general it felt a little rushed, I think it would work a little better to add a little more time between statements.
I get the feeling that there is a whole world of humor to go with this concept.

IzakFlashMan responds:

I think you have fathomed it yes.
he whispers "We let you abort your babies guilt free... I'm going to burn down your house.."
And yea, I'm starting to get the idea it was rushed. Meh, I just wanted to get it out there before It stagnated in my head. But perhaps I shouldn't let that be a reason for making a piece of crap next time.
