poetafit's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[I'm going to be a dad]

Classic joke

That is one of those jokes that has been done many times and is still funny. Good choice.
If you want to you could really extend this with some congratulations and talk of going home before, and the cliche "Noooooooooooooo" after.
On the other hand, I'm going to be a dad.

PostTimeskipSam responds:

Not Anymore....

[The Three Commandments]

Audio great, animation less so.

The audio is really good, and the visuals fit well. It's unfortunate that a lot of the art wasn't on a level that really enhanced the overall movie. For instance, the rolling CD was so lopsided I found myself wondering why it wasn't a little more circular instead what was being said. I realize you were probably going for a rough-hewn art style, but I think you overdid it a little.

LenardNotLenny responds:

guess its just a difference in style preference.

[Oppression of the Masses!]

You got me

I completely fell for this one, so I have to admit it was fairly clever. It would have helped if you had spent more time on the art and animation to make it a little better. It would also probably save you email from some ignorant folk like me who have no idea some of the things that can be done with flash if you had some sort of "gotcha" screen that would pop up after a minute.

cHunter responds:

Nah, I <3 it when people bitch at me for using their name, lol.

[Global Warming =/= LOL]

Could have done more

With as little action as there is in this movie, you probably could have put a bit more time into drawing the two characters, since all that would have moved would have been their mouths. Also, the background seemed a bit random. I liked the joke though.

YeoungBraxx responds:

thanks for the feedback. I randomly chose the background, but when I presented it in class, I tied it in as being a medieval setting to represent the dark-ages type thinking going on.

[Aphrodite]

Not Bad

You had some nice things going for you in this flash. The transitions were interesting, as was the general concept. A few things would have really helped make it better.
Using some different animation at times would have helped, perhaps a spin or a slight variation in steps.
The man got pretty far off model in the moments after the woman fell apart.
Also, the transition to that scene, where it was blank background was the one that flowed less well.
I'd like to see what you do as you hone your skills further.

rlkahwe4kl responds:

Thank you, I love specific criticism. I'll definitely consider some of your suggestions.

[Bush is Undecisive]

Not very original

The whole "Bush is dumb" angle has about been done to death. If you are determined to do yet one more movie about Bush, I think it is pretty important that you come up with something that hasn't been done by half the internet already.
The sound was pretty low quality, and although you had two characters speaking I couldn't tell which was which.
The drawings were pretty low quality as well. I'm guessing this is something you just tossed together pretty quickly, at least that is how it appears.

C-Doodlez-Man responds:

kinda what the description expressed.... "Just a simple, quickly put togeather spoof."

[New Jersey Crazy Laws]

Nice

Funny and informative. Most of the pictures really work. Although I couldn't help but notice that all the personalized license plates were for California, not New Jersey.
I think some more unusual music might have fit the humor a little better.

PlayTheGame responds:

i know about the license plates, Google had no personalized license plates from NJ, so i found the only one i could

[Mario lol1]

One of your first flashes...

I don't mean this in a mean way at all when I say that it does look like an early attempt. I looks like you were probably playing around with the software, figuring out what it could do. I haven't seen your later stuff, so I'm guessing you've developed since then. It got a bit topsy turvy at times and there seemed to be some problems with the layers. If you need more explanation, feel free to PM me.

Toad5355 responds:

thank you its nice your honest
