Fanewgie's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario vs Sonic (Sprite)]

One Word: FPS

Not at all a bad start, really. But it just seems to drag on and on, not because of neverending action but probably because you still have your frames per second set to the default (12), which I'm always forgetting to change myself. Boost it up before you do your next flash and see where it takes you.

YTFlashStar responds:

actually i use 24 frames per second...

[RFOD P2 (better Version)]

I thought the first one was okay.

But this one felt like a step backwards. Only, what, three segments? The Samus part... well, it looks like you plain messed up and were too lazy to redraw or fix anything, and just tried to pass it off as an unfunny joke instead (which didn't work).

Like I said, I thought the first part was okay. You should be improving, not getting sloppier. :)

I don't get what the title has to do with anything at all though.

PenCapChew89 responds:

The title was just a play on words my names Dan and I had game characters gettin killed so even tho there are NO Resistance Fall of Man references in any Part 1,2 or 3 I thought wot the hell :D

All 3 parts were originally one big animation but I had trouble commpressin it so I chopped it up

Cheers for the comment anyway and stay tuned for more I have a new series of animations comin out soon which im workin on NOW as we speak

Epic.

I laughed (and most will for the same reason), because I, too, knew fat fucking assholes like this in high school. XD

Animation could definitely use a little oomph though. There were some impressive, smooth parts and then other parts that seemed rushed. You could probably combine the two and get a nice style going on.

tankbuster781 responds:

The last part was rushed because my friends kept on saying, "FINISH IT!" and stuff.
also, this was really done in probably an hour or so.

[sprite elimination 2]

Not bad.

I'm not going to trash on being inspired by Alvin or anything, hell, I'm inspired by his work myself, but I think you need to work on special effects and sounds so they're not such an obvious re-use.

I think the lag issue that people mentioned from episode one (and probably here too) is from over-use of blurs, I've encountered that problem while mucking around in Flash myself.

Aside from that I think you show promise... just need to try more of your own thing instead of mimicking Alvin (that goes for a lot of sprite animators here).

metlwing responds:

really, I've noticed I'm moving further away from Alvin (though I still am inspired), and started getting my own style.

I can explain these things:

The blurs, are because when your moving a background fast, I gets very choppy looking without a blur.

By re-examing the part where the lag grew, it was a fast transition to black, and I forgot to movieclip the bg. I found out that when it creates objects called tween1, etc. it creates lag when you try to move or blur it. that might help you too.

The effects I use I found from a DBZ website, and I did use that screech sound effect with the double side spreading thing too much. And thank you for that advice.

Thank you, but I think also, even in this one, my own style is developing. I found that when I animated in another program (TISFAT) with stick figures, I started off emulating others styles, but through that, my own naturally emerged. I hope that happens here.

good review!

[Drillman's Fierce Battle!]

Amazing!

Epic. I loved it. The game battle looked realistic and spot-on. The voice acting was perfect and hilarious. Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see more!

mysteryguy79 responds:

Thanks man. I was trying to go for a really basic fight, like you said, so I'm glad it worked. Makes the craziness at the end all the better and more epic.

[Dick Knows Best]

"Nothing too new or interesting."

Alright graphical style. Boring special effects. Quiet and dull voice acting. Stale, overused political comedy.

Snakejohnson responds:

Overused!!!!!!! I chanllenge you sir. Where. I ask. Where have you seen Dick Cheney crawl out of a woman's stomach. Where have you seen him use a spider walker. Where have you seen him drop Democrats in a monster pit, Where have you seen him use Black Water guards to kill a child.......Ah well.
Maybe that last one.

[Awesome Compilation Vol 1]

Pretty horrible

Seeing things like this having a rating above 4 is making me lose my faith in Newgrounds. It looks like it was thrown together in 15 minutes. The drawing style itself isn't bad, but the animation is terrible. The voice acting was nothing to be remembered and it was littered with obscenities, probably just to get people to say "omg, he sed FUCK i'll voet 5 ! LOL".

Egoraptor responds:

To clarify, the reason it's got so much swearing in it is because MTV asked me specifically to make it more "mature." The original script for Pac-Awesome actually had no obscenities and no blood. I was told to make it more "hardcore," so I did. These movies were originally not made to be on Newgrounds at all and I don't ask that anyone vote 5 on anything I do.

At any rate, wow, Fanewgie, I haven't talked to you in a while. It's good to know you're doing well. I checked out some of your movies and they look pretty sweet.
