Masquatto's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bunnykill 3 Vol.1]

Very well done.

Nice work. It's presented well, with good animation and an enjoyable plot, although it's slightly a rip of madness.

I'd work on your blood a bit. It's good, but it needs a bit more 'splat' to it (with more blood spots that have a spray look, as oppsed to being circular spots of red), and the it aught to be a bit darker. The lightsabers also needed work (you can see very good saber work by searching for NG author OrangeClock and scroll to the movie called "L"), and I thought the gradients on the metal stuff could use a bit of touching up. In addition, butting shadows under the characters would add a nice polish.

All in all, though, it's a very nice movie. Keep it up.

Mottis responds:

I made the blood look crappy like that on purpose. I wanted to have a simple, "cartoonish" look for it, and i think im going to keep it the way it is.

The lightsabers... i know the effects are kinda lame, i saw SW ep3 yesterday and i now remember what makes lightsabers lighsabers. (or lightblades in this case;) ) I will TRY to change the style of the swinging effect in the next one...

The shadows is almost impossible task. I animate fbf, with every bodypart like eyes, hands and everything beeing single objects in one layer and by moving these parts a little bit in each frame. If you have any idea how could i EASILY add shadows for them on to the floor (assuming thats what you meant), contact me.

Thanks!

Above par, but nothing too exceptional.

Graphics
The people here apparently aren't used to easing and high frame rates (key, basic things that make animation smooth), so they think the animation is all that. The animation is fluid, but there are zoom ins/outs that are a bit bouncy. Why a 7 on graphics, then? First, the art is sorta... not really art. Just thick, outlined stick figures. Second, the mouth dubbing was horrible.

[Ducktales 2:Residuck Evil]

Definitely worth the watch.

Very nicely done. Although the art made me uneasy at first, I eventually grew to enjoy the wacky, newish character designs, which added greatly to the humor (especially with the animation), and made the 3D part practically a Flash classic in my book.

Althought it's apparent that you have a bit of work to do on the graphics on characters you tried to make look good, the overall presentation was so stylish and hilarious that you can't really judge it on the visuals.

This is one of the best flash movies I've seen in a while.

[The Jiggly Butt : Foamy The Squirrel]

Could somebody please tell me...

... what's so great about this?

The art and animation was horrible, the writing wasn't good at all (which Foamy admitted), there was a lack of good sounds and Foamy's voice was annoying, and there wasn't a single joke in there.

It boggles me as to how people can find this entertaining.

[Foamy Fan Mail 6]

Are you EVER going to improve?

Your flash is still at newbie level, and your humor never gets any good. It's totally repetitive, boring, and poorly done.

Improv, eh? Maybe that's why all your jokes suck. It still doesn't explain your poor flash skills and annoying voice acting, though.

I would rant on about this, but I've done it many times in my reviews and you never read them anyway; if you happen to read this, scroll through my reviews to see my explainations on your low scores. All your movies are practically repeats, so I'm pretty sure all my points will still apply.

Try taking suggestions for once and maybe you'll get a better review from me.

P.S. Twinkies may taste good, but just so you know, eating a lot of twinkies is a whole lot worse than eating a low number of carbs.

["Waterman" Ep. VII]

Quite funny.

This one was written quite well.

However, the art and animation still bugs me a bit. If you need a touch-up aritst/animator, I can help.

Oh, one more thing: you should get a better microphone.

[Prowlies at the River]

Drooling at the water animation...

That's the best water animation I've seen in a flash movie. Ever.
The other animation was also very very nice.

Fifen.

[YAAFM 9: Michael Moore]

I'm sick of these "YAAFM"

Your art sucks, your animation sucks, your mouth dubbing sucks, and your movies aren't funny.

We didn't beat Iraq - we just beat Saddam. We haven't done shit other than destroy things aimlessly to try to unite a country under our wing that hates us.
FYI: Americans are very ignorant and closed-minded, and it is embarrassing.
When he said the same line twice, did it ever hit you that it was supposed to be funny?
Small businesses typically fail, and don't usually boost the economy much at all.
The whole black person thing is just him trying to say something about what people think of black people.

I wouldn't be surprised if Moore's IQ is much higher than yours, 'Walrus.'

This whole Fucking Moron thing is old and boring. Learn to make some funny material and some actual quality flash, and then try again later.

[Rilstixs ClockDay Movie 2]

Lmao. Schweet.

You're almost too good for NG, you know that?

Oooo! I think I saw easing! *claps

[Home Entertainment System]

^-^

Omgf cameo heaven.
Fifened and whatnot.
Multiple times.

You just keep getting better every time, rilstix. Now all ya gotta do is put in easing. ;-P
