Battosai810's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LL - Sofa]

Nice!

Very fluent animation, and a really solid art style. Everything looked very soft, very mutable, and energetic. The backgrounds looked almost as good, although they could have used a bit more detail. The kind of tripping scenes looked good too.

The script was funny - I'll admit I laughed when he jumped through the door to be back in the same room. When it wasn't plain funny like that, it was just strange enough to be entertaining. Solid script.

Good animation, good writing, and solid art. This get's a 4/5 and 8/10. Good work!

Thank you for constructive criticism.

[Cyberen's Morning Wood]

Well, that was pointless spam.

Death metal, a .jpg, and the text tool.
Honestly, this whole Cyberen thing has been going on forever. Might have been funny once, in a cosmic sort of way. Now it's just boring as all get out.

Not that anything I say will deter you from more spam or anything of the like. Just don't really see the point of doing one or two of these every day.

[Awesome Dbz Fight!!!]

Competent, but it's been done to death

Dragonball Z style "fight" flashes are in over abundance here on Newgrounds. As are stick fights. As are flashes with nu-metal music, like Linkin Park. Basically, every thing in this flash has been done before, and better.

However, despite being a one in a million stylistically, the animation was actually rather good. It was a little jerky in places, but overall the fight was smoothly animated.

For your next flash, I suggest incorporating a story other than "let's fight," as that is stale as could be. The one thing that is never in fight flashes like these is a complex story, or at least one more complicated than two guys punching each other in their respective heads.

Keep it up - you definitely have the animation chops, you just need to put them to use.

[Link and Navi]

Semi competent, but unoriginal

Everything in this flash has been done to death. All the Navi jokes, all the jokes about Link being a bit of a tool despite being the "chosen one," everything. Even the sound effects are overdone as all get out. You'd be hard pressed to find any original humor from Ocarina of Time; which at this point is a dry well.

The animation was stiff and sparse, and the art was messy and lacked detail. In all honesty, the best animated part was the end credits. I'm not saying this as a snide remark; the movie clip symbols in there were actually rather good. Much better than the rest of this flash.

Develop your humor more and find a new source of humor. I won't criticize you for parodying an old game, as I've parodied some old cartoons myself. I will however criticize you for making the same jokes that have been made a million times, and for having less than stellar art and animation.

All in all, a mediocre flash.

[Rubbish]

Creative!

Very nice transition to Barbie walking and the trash ball hitting the ground. I actually thought they were independent from each other at first; very well played.

A nice use of toys as well, having them fight the monster was very entertaining. The only real criticism I have with that is sound related, as machine gun noises from the tank's main gun doesn't sound right.

The flash had a nice message too, seeing as it was made for a "save the earth" assignment. The animation was a little jerky in some parts - made sense for the toys, but the person's movement was a bit hokey.

Normally I'd give this a 6/10, as it was well done but short and a bit lacking in the visuals department. However, this is excellent for a first flash animation, so I'm bumping it up to 7!

Looking forward to more work from you - definitely off to a good start here.

[Ugly Joe | Episode #1]

Just feels lacking

You have a decent character design and some good art skills, but you need to cover other areas. For instance - backgrounds and camera angles. The background is a white void and the camera never shifts to show somebody is talking. Take a cue from the comic book style you're going for and shift from panel to panel like a real comic book.

Next I would give some audio to the flash. Reading text near characters is nowhere near as interesting as hearing them talk. The dialogue didn't seem too bad, but it's better to hear it than read it. That's one of the good things about flash animation.

Finally, the content is really shallow. This meeting with the CEO type seems like a good introduction to a movie to showcase the main character's qualities. The sort of scene that would go right before an opening credit sequence. Having it be the entire movie is sort of a letdown, as it builds up to something next without going there.

Take this in mind and I would love to see where your character will go next. Nice to see someone with a clear direction for what they want their characters to do here on Newgrounds. Best of luck.

[The Watrix]

In dire need of improvement

The first thing people will notice about this is the visuals. The characters are unattractive and seem inconsistent. Study how people look before trying to emulate them, or try to come up with a more stylized character approach.

The sound was also pretty bad. I couldn't understand a word anyone said; the only thing I really caught was that terrible scream effect used twice in the movie.

The Matrix boat has sailed - making fun of it or paying tribute to it now just seems so trite and overdone. Few people still care about the Matrix movies after the disappointment of the last two. I would try finding a more topical subject matter, or at least one people feel nostalgia for today, unlike the Matrix.

Don't give up altogether, but I recommend changing direction.

[Epic movie]

Not a bad start

If the flash is not finished, I advise against releasing it. What you have is a good start though. For a first animation, this moves really well. Animation is fluid, even though the art is rather uninspired; being stickfigures and all. Sound syncs up well until the very end, where there is no sound at all.

Hopefully you'll carry these animation skills over and put them into a story with your next flash. It would be great seeing these guys bounding around with a purpose, rather than just beating each other up for the sake of beating each other up.

u-tensity responds:

Thanks, I really need the constructive critisism. I'm finishind this part and I started the second part now, I didn't know that releasing would be like this...lol.

I'm from spp and the animaytion didn't upload there, and I thought uploding in NG will automatically install a preloader.
