crookedsixpence's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Backstage in a pet shop]

Needs work, but it's getting there.

While effective in producing an emotional response (now I want to go out and rescue all the bunnies in the world, dang it!), the animation was lacking. Actually, there wasn't much animation...just a collection of still frames. That technique can sometimes be pulled off, but usually with some kind of a transition between scenes. It's a little strange when POOF! There's a truck. POOF! There's a man in the back of the truck. POOF! There's a bunny standing up. POOF! Now he's lying down. There's something almost Atari-esque in its simplicity. ;-) So I recommend you work on true animation. Frame-by-frame animation would really complement your drawing style.

Wow. That was...what was that?!

I don't get it. Am I missing something?

[KERRY'S_ORDER]

Eh, it was all right.

It needed a little help with the sound and graphics, but I don't think it was nearly as bad as some of the other viewers say. It made me chuckle in several places. ...And here's the kicker. I'm a Kerry supporter! HAH!

[Super Dude - Episode 1]

Not bad, but needs work.

The story was great, and your graphics were mediocre. My only real beefs were having to press the buttons just to get through the dialogue, which was occasionally somewhat difficult to understand on account of the flagrant spelling errors. But on the whole, it's a great start!

[The Edge Of Darkness]

Fantastic, but...

The animation was stunningly beautiful. I'm in complete awe of your talent. The story on the other hand...well... I feel like a moron, here, but the story confused the crap out of me. I understand that people are being hacked to bits in the subway station, and I understand that the main detective's wife was killed (by the same killer or in another crime?)... but the detective and the killer resembled each other so closely that I was wondering if this were perhaps a multiple personalities case rather than simply revenge. I just don't know. On the whole, however, it's absolutely wonderful. Bravo.

[Woop There It Is]

Compression Is a Beautiful Thing.

It wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but I expected more, particularly with the load time required. It's unfortunate that you've decided all your critics are abusive rather than listening to their advice, but they happen to be right. You need to compress your sound files. Make your next movie a little longer...and perhaps more original. The headless stick figure thing has been done a million times, now. So, there's *my* "abusive" review. Have a nice day.

NoNameSticks responds:

lol, thanx forthe good review.It wasnt abusive, and they didnt give advice, and i just learned how to compress, so my next one should be better. (have a nice day)

[RIP Rodney]

?

I have the utmost respect for Rodney Dangerfield, which is why he deserves a Flash animation into which actual effort and time were put. This was an old photo with a musical background. Rodney will be missed, but this movie will not.

[Tech-Support]

So true!

Oh my word, we had an almost identical experience with "Smell" Computers, here. I only wish I had Foamy's attitude! Hilarious episode. *applause*

[BlunderCats]

But...

All you did was animate their mouths over an audio spoof that was recorded by someone else a long time ago! Good choice of audio, but the animation was otherwise disappointing. :-\

[Ido Ido Ido(unfinished)]

Is that... it?!

So, let me see if I'm seeing this correctly... does the movie end with a girl sitting on a bench looking dejected? That scene seems to take up most of the movie, actually, and I don't know about your girlfriend, but *I* don't understand the message. The graphics have a lot of potential. There just needs to be *more* to this music video than, y'know, Dejected-Looking Girl. (And I'm not an ass, thank you very much!)
