M-Shack's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bear Bear]

wow

Amazing. Animatoin, art and characters were great as usual. This woulda made a great Halloween entry. THe story was very good and gave me the chills. Nice job and keep up the great work!

Animation is not bad

It wasn't funny to me. I didn't chuckle or even say to myself that I could see how some people could find that funny. I dont really know all the memes or whatever so im just basing this off of me seeing it on the front page and checking it out. I think, that plus the art style kinda brought down this animation for me. The style isn't really too original and is already used in "funny skits".

No matter what is done, some people will like it and some will hate it, but sometimes you have to try and get a good balance. If you are making these things aimed towards younger kids who find a lot of the fads and stuff funny then continue with it. But if you want to try and get more popular or better at creating little shorts, you should maybe use other ideas cuz if you do something that only a select people will understand (like an inside joke), it just completely limits and shuts out a huge audience you could have potentially had.

In short, it wasn't bad, but don't limit your self by only doing what you know, keep exploring until you find things that a majority of people can enjoy and you'll find much more success and satisfaction out of making more people laugh instead of just some kids laugh.

lol

front paged and still under judgement lol

Nice job as usual. A little short but nice art, animation and voices. Some of the other ones are a little funnier tho

[The Faster the Treadmill]

man

Your first vid was like, "oh this is kinda cool how he does it". Now it's just like wtf, how does he have this much time and skill to do this kind of stuff. Great job, it must take a lot of effort drawing everything out. The animation it self was enjoyable, I liked the back and forth between watching the game and then watching from like the characters perspective. keep it up brah!

[o--(:[]=]

nice!

Your stuff is always good, but sometimes hard to understand. But sometimes there isn't always a point and we should just be enjoying what we're watching. Or maybe your stuff is so original we can't compare it to anything. Nice job and nice use of 3D elements. Keep up the good work.

[Enjoy Your Heaven]

close to awesome

Everything was done so well, art, voices, animation, etc. However I feel like the story didnt make much sense. I understand that he was caught for sneaking people into heaven and is always trying to run scams or whatever, but I feel like we need to know more. Like what did he get out of getting people into heaven? does heaven use some kind of currency? It wasn't too funny either, I could tell when the jokes were, but they weren't delivered correctly. Overall it was very good, but I just think it missed something in the story/writing. Oh yeah, woulda be cool if you made the cops angels or something (instead of just other "regular" dead people.)

[Titanomachina]

really nice!

Art was great, animation was great and the tweens were used very well. I think it was well paced and had just enough action to keep it pretty entertaining. I liked the whole post apocalypticness you had goign on too. Keep up the good work.

[Pokemon: Fated Encounter]

nice stuff

I gotta say that I enjoyed the first one better. This one was pretty good, but I wasn't to fond of all of that shaky, quick camera movements, I usually prefer to see more of whats going on instead of it being suggested. Def some nice stuff, If you want to keep the graphics down, I would try to limit the use of glows and blurs because they really slowed down the viewing experience. I do need a new computer, but still, I rarely have trouble watching videos like this unless it's full of flash filters(Yes i watched it the way you said to try in firefox).

I think the 3rd one will be way better if you find an alternate way of showing a glow so it doesn't slow down the movie for most people. Or at least upload a quicktime version somewhere or the final thing to youtube/vimeo so people can view it without lag then come back and vote/leave comments. You got some good stuff, dont fall prey to all the fancy camera movements, they end up hiding your animation ability which seems to be pretty good.

Anyways good work and keep animating, it came out good, but i think you can do better with the next one.

Yeah M-Shack nice review!! yes I made an even bigger mistake putting all this action into this one part. 4 minutes of non-stop pokemon massacre lol I will take your review into consideration. To me Fated Encounter has waaay to much action, almost like transformers 2 XD

I will make my next one "Pokemon: The Fated Dual" much like Fated Battle but with all round improvments. Thanks for giving me your intake

Your man Tyrant-D Over and Out!! XD

[Red Bull Short]

haha

pretty funny and animated well. Would make a funny anti red bull commercial by one of their energy drink/shots competitors

[A paedophile story]

wow

Animation was amazing! Like, really fucking good. I def am checking ur site and other animations out. I don't get how people can see something animated and drawn so well and give it a low score. I guess not many kids on newgrounds understand animation yet and only like video game parodies and rated r stuff
