Major-punk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[=Grand Theft Auto Collab=]

I didn't like it too much

I'm not a big fan of having someone elses pictures put into anothers flash, so you can imagine how unhappy I am about your submission which is nearly all screenshots from GTA. =/

The voice actor I thought did a poor job, he did have a convincing 'inner city' accent but at times it didn't even seem he was trying much. But I'm sure you had fun with it didn't ya. ^_~

If I had to pick a favourite clip i would say I liked twostar's the best, just because he drew his own scenery and it did look well done.

Overall an alright pre-loader, easy to click buttons but not enough of your own work and bad voice acting.

Starberry responds:

most of the video game ss collabs are based off of guardian's OMG HALO movie i advise you look at that one for some further fun!!11

[-=The SS Halo Collab=-]

A typical collab

First off I liked the pre-loader, but the picture you added just stuck out there and didn't look like it belonged... so maybe cutting the background out from the picture would make it blend in more. Just a thought.

I cracked a smile while watching psychomidget's clip, like just seeing a guy get shot for so long will become funny... you just have to wait. =)

Smellyasdfman has some good drawings but from lack of movement and animation it wasn't entertaining to watch.

Roflmuffinglock showed alot of effort in his clip, there was alot of shading and detail on his halo character and I was impressed with how he made the visor on his helmet look so realistic. But the screamer was predictable and not so fun.

Starberry's was kinda weird, like when the halo guy screamed and used the famous screamer noise I laughed a little, but other then that it was a pretty boring clip.

Numbers has some awesome artistic skills, but hes not helping himself by using real people pictures and drawign them a black mouth to make them look like their talking.. come on that hasn't been funny in years.

Congrats rexco on getting 3. It's so nice of you to share that with the world.

Overall many of you have talent and are naturals with flash animation, but your going in the wront direction with it. It's too bad I'm sure you guys could come up with something really good.

Starberry responds:

in a serious note, congrats on writing a really long review that has an overall score of 3 but is not an angry rant!!11

[Mittens Episode 3]

A sequel already? hurray!

Again funny voice actors and you set the humour bar right away with the first line "hi how can i make you feel worthless" =P

I didn't think this one was your best, but it was still an enjoyable short to watch. Maybe it was because this one wasn't perverted like your previous two but before you expressed how awkward mittens was feeling in those embarrising situations and this one just wasn't the same.

Still a funny short but not my persoanl favourite from, keep making these I enjoy watching them and reviewing. 4/5. ^_^

phentropy responds:

:D Thanks! I'm aiming for daily release, you guys keep watchin' I'll keep making :)

[The Nobodies]

Amazing lip syncing!

I am very impressed with how the lip syncing turned out, just that alone was very impressive and incredibley detail. Shit that must of taken tons of effort. =0

Although I would like to see more body language, like maybe some hand motions or a bit of head banging just something to let us know it's a guy singing not a robot. ^_~

Overall this is a pretty poor flash, good song and great lip syncing but not much else other then that. Even if you could have a scrolling background of things the song is talking about in the background... anything to make this more interactive, yanno?
Keep up the good work. 3/5.

arsarcanum responds:

thx about the synching, it took about 20 hours! I know about the boringness after the main part, ima put alot of action soon (too much schoolwork).

[WoW: Car Ride]

Looked really good

You have some awesome drawing skills, the characters and backgrounds were all nice and detailed and not sloppy at all.

But when the guys were all in the car they didn't move much... like sure they might have tilted their heads a few times but never and hand movements or body language.
That might just be you trying to hide an animation weakness but if you don't practice it now you'll never improve it later for your best submissions, after all submitting to NG is supposed to give you advice and tips, it's what were here for, yanno? ^_^

So overall the artwork kicked ass and the music was pretty catchy too, but a re-play button is really needed. keep working on that animation and continue to get better... your already way ahead of the average NG flash artist! 4/5. =)

JAYDOTCOM responds:

HAH, you got me there, I really do suck at animating :D. I just learned how to make a pre-loader/replay button too, after watching like 50 Tutorials. So hopefully my next 1 will be better. Also thanks for the compliment on my drawings ^_^

[Behind the Magic]

Bwahahahaha!!

That was hilarious, the voice actors did a great job and the little background beat was a really nice touch.
This had everything great lip synching, drawings, backgrounds, facial expressions everything!

I can't really give you many 'tips' lime I'm supposed to in reviews but I guess one part I'm a little unsatisfied with is during the pre-loader I didn't know how much was left to load so just adding like a little bar or percent might be a good idea.

Anyway great job man that was so fucking funny. 5/5. =)

stoners-lunchbox responds:

The Voice actors (me and myself. I'm not kidding) thank you for the comliment.
As for the preloader bar... If you want it... You got it!

Thanks for the review!

[Ortus (part I)]

Very deep

You have some hardcore artistic skills man, and not to mention you completely nailed the 'read between the lines' feeling.
This stands out from ordinary flash on so many levels, including the amazing artwork.

Not really many 'tips' I can give you but since your recommending your sequel why not take it a step further and provide a direct link?

Anyway overall this had it's own unique style that I thought was better then good. 5/5.

bica1 responds:

thank you <:D Actually the story will connect.....but not just yet....

[Mittens Episode 2]

Kinky.

A little more 'gross' then your first but equally as enjoyable to watch.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the little kitten and all the things he gets exposed to in his daily life but then again that justb adds to the humour.

I see you added a basic background this time, well I guess without it the flash wouldn't make sense so... good job?

I thought sometimes the kitten was talking too fast for me to understand and I don't think subititles is the solution so I dunno just letting you know, I guess. =/

Overall a great flash again, your establishing a good reputation here. ^_^

phentropy responds:

Thanks :) I see what you mean now, about the speech, I'll slow it down a bit for the next one.

[gay movie inbound]

A cheap parody

I know your trying to keep this as simple as possible and stick with the whole "B" submission thing so it's kinda useless for me to give you 'tips' (like I could give you any good ones anyway)

I guess you put a little twist on the original since it's now OMFG 3D!!!! and has music but really I only got a small chuckle from this and then was bored.
Good pre-loader though.

Starberry responds:

this was my clock day 2005 movie, when everyone and their brother submitted garbage that was loved by everyone
