M-Shack's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MK Mishaps Gold]

eh good effort

It wasn't really funny, I used to love MK so it's not like im just some MK hater. The jokes weren't funny and the Kang Pow one was just basically taking that whole scene from Kung Pow which seemed kinda like a rip off to me. Maybe if it was more original with some more clever jokes or funnier voices or something different. The movie was still better than most of the crap on newgrounds, but i think you coulda done better.

VicHD responds:

So your saying ripping off an idea scene by scene is a bad thing? Tell that to the creators of South Park. They've done more movie references than I have and it hasn't hurt them at all.

Either way, it's your opinion and I understand that.

not bad

Learn to put a stop at the end so it doesnt keep looping. Or at least a play button in the beginning (for newgrounds). Also you usually wana try to stay at 24 fps when animating 2D cartoons.

tohoscope responds:

Sorry about the looping. I'll fix that.

Thanks for the review.

Looks like all you did was copy other stuff

The drawings were bad and you sloppily rotoscoped/traced over other fight clips. You get points for effort and completion, but its not even really you're work. For 60 hours of work you could have at least tried some better drawings instead of just having their arms flail around when they were shooting at each other.

Hulalaoo responds:

ROTOSCOPE ? PLEASE, YOU ARE A NOOB, A HAVE A LOT OF EXPRIENCE FOR DESING FIGHT SCENE, YOU ONLY HAVE A ANIMATION GAY AND STUPID,ONLY TWEENS, PLEASE, GO TO MASTURBATE, YOU JOB IS ANIMATOR , WITH 22 AND CREATE A SHIT ?, HAHA POOR GUY, YOU NEVER CAN GO TO FRONT PAGE, BECAUSE YOU NOT HAVE TALENT

[T E T R I S ' D]

interesting idea

It was put together nicely, but you should calm down with all the rolling and cartwheels. It looked like he was a slinky rolling over and over. Maybe next time change some of the animation since a big part of it was him dodging the pieces, but it was the same jump into a slinky like cartwheelish thing getting repeated. Keep it up, im sure u will def improve on ur next work.

KobraEditing responds:

well if it counts for anything, I never used the same drawing twice. I redrew for every frame.

[Ryu's Revenge]

hmmmm could go either way for me

Drawings sucked, voices sucked, wasnt really funny, sound was good, Animation was GREAT! sooo smooth and fluid. I hope the actual fight scenes come out well. I would try to get some other people to do the voices and work on the drawings themselves. Def has some good potential.

FutureCopLGF responds:

Hahaha, very blunt but I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm planning on getting the people who I based these off of to do their respective voices (if possible) and I'll keep trying to improve my drawing style. Glad to see that my primary goal, fluid animation, was successful tho'.

[Sketchy Friends Dance]

Nice

I didn't even really like the music, but i couldnt stop watching lol. I like your style, all your animations flow so well and you can tell that you put your time into making everything transition well. I would like to see something from you that isn't so... "different" lol. You have a very good sense for animation and im curious as to how well it would be with more realistic animations. Good Job None The Less

TheBoogley responds:

I don't think I'll ever make anything very realistic, I've always just drawn silly weird pictures and the stories if you could call them that come naturally from those drawings... I will be making a proper storyboard and have character model sheets for the next one, so it'll be a bit more structured. Thanks for the feedback! :D

[White Mage Christmas]

very nice

put together very well, im assuming you wanted to submit this to the xmas contest so i recommended it :) good luck

matt-likes-swords responds:

Nah, not really. Just spammin.
Thanks anyhow.
