Lord1Mauler's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Advent of Sock]

Make the dude get revenge

Good drawings, but animation is choppy and the plot is slightly confusing.

[The Paper Prince]

It's a 10, but you wanted the little details...

First of all-WOW-GJ.

Little details-
1. Add more time for the graduation picture at the end.
2. In the beginning scenes, make your lines a tad thicker so it doesn't look like chicken scratch.
3. Personally, I don't think it needs music, it's perfect where it is. The silence and Sound FX of your characters keeps me/audience glued to the screen.
4. The dream-A little confusing, but all dreams are. Cool drawings, that's a plus.
5. I suggest you zoom in on the oragami's that he has in the suitcase-this is a tiny detail.
6. After those tips I gave above, don't do anymore to it, or you'll worry yourself in your sleep.

A lot of mystery stirred within me when I tried to figure out what was going to happen, what the climax was. This is a great movie for a film festival-Great idea.
You're on my fav's. Congrats and GL. 10/10

[CM - hello]

Good Flow-curious

Good intro. Can't wait to see the actual episodes because this looks different from other animations.

[Mercenaries]

Pretty Damn good for a 1st!

A lot of first flash movies I have seen have been, well... poo. I've seen entrances to flash movies, but no movie, I've seen things that don't make sense. In your movie, none of that is a problem. You've got a cool entrance that introduces your characters (keep this idea for other episodes you may make-it looks good), you have a plot-which I assume is finding a job which probably involves violence (hence the Mercenaries), you've got intro music which cuts off at the movie and is replaced by voice, and you have mild dirty comedy.

I love the spitting scene-cool

Suggestions:
You said you wanted advice, so I'm going to help you with walking. Cut their legs diagonally and add some color to the hips and then group the color on. The left leg and right leg should become separate layers. A quick way to edit your characters is with the undo button-on a mac command Z, and on a pc control Z. You should add some facial expressions to your characters when they talk.

Congrats, you made my fav's. You're a good example for a First Flash Movie.
GJ 8/10.

[Bandooker Boys]

Not to shabby...

I'm willing to give you an 8 if you keep up the Bandooker Boys part and the near end. The rest of it is crappy. It's as if you made it crappy at the beginning, and then at the end you made it awesome. This is a good thing, but you want to make sure you get your audience (me and others) interested in the beginning of your flash-even if it is just a trailer. Good music picks. What is the last song? Make sure to give credit either on NewGrounds (the application when you add your SWF.File) or integrate it into your movie at the ending like this: Produced by, Music by, Drawn by, etc.

GJ Try to balance your professionalism-it looks good!

Dorium responds:

thanks for the constructive review ill be sure to keep ur opinion in mind in my future animations :).. and the last song is from the dark knight i dont remember which one i took..

[Just Like That]

GJ.

Slightly confused on the plot in the beginning probably because you switched from in between the scenes too much. Cool transitions with the space ships, lovin' the facial expressions on the characters faces-not many animators will do that, killer space drawings-did you draw all of that?

Good music-fits more within the city, I don't think I could compare it to space. It would be good music to anybody driving a red or white convertible on a sunny day. Music is really good. 9/10.

[The Awesome Turtle]

ZERO

Dude, people take days to make a good animation, some people take weeks or months. What did you take 1 hour to make this? Just because you can make a 3 second loop doesn't mean you've got talent. Yea nice drawing... sorta. You basically made the music your "flash."

Make different scenes, make a plot where the turtle discovers something, because that's what the music feels like. I like the music, but your loop isn't cool. This belongs to the Audio Portal.

Call it Super Mario 64 Tribute on the Audio Portal, and then you'll get a 1 for posting the song on the site... wow. NOT FLASH.

0/10

[TLIS: Ep 1 Re-Volted]

Hmm... there seems to be a missing link to this...

Good random humor. I agree to sticking with the stick figures until you get to know flash a little bit better. I have done the same thing, and am working on a stick fight right now. You can check out my work-only have one up so far-for any ideas, or you could ask me. I usually don't use elbows and knees when making my stick figures because it can be drawn with a Brush! Use the Brush!

Humor-decent, Random-O YEA, music/sound fx-decent, timing of DBZ blooper-PERFECT. GJ 7/10 for a good start! I love the humor keep it up!

[Pit Man 2]

Too short, perfect on the random.

2 for shortness, 8 for randomness. Don't let the finals get in your way. Take your time, and come back to this episode. I read a lot that if your movie isn't long enough, your ratings will be sloppy. There are only a few good flash movies that are a minute or less that are awesome. I think that you should do a voice over instead of text. If you don't have a mic, find something on the internet!

5/10 GJ on the random.

[I say, dear chap]

You just got on my fav's.

Hey we all love a simple joke. What you did here was brilliant. The simple characters, the old screen FX, the jazzy music, the funny jokes-kind of old, but I didn't expect him to say homosexual. Freakin' hilarious menu-lol... except I don't draw scrotums, thats for the homies. (no offense to all). Dialogue was readable, and time was perfect. I HA'd out loud when the guy on the left smacked Winston.

All my 10 belong here-GJ.
