thekillzar's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic X-it]

This was a delightful sequel. I don't know what it is about this kind of humor that resonates with me, but it's absolutely absurd and I love it. The animation and artwork has definitely improved since the last Sonic animation you worked on. The bashing on Sonic Boom at the end was great too. Overall, this is a worthy successor and definitely hilarious.

My only gripe is that the original plot ended too quickly, so the last three minutes focused on the Sonic Boom segment. But hey, nothing's perfect. Great work, I enjoyed it and had plenty of laughs.

Glad you seen the quality difference. I guess it did end it a bit abrupt Just couldn't figure out how Chris would of out done Sonic to get him under water. Maybe he threw in a ring in or a chillidog who knows. Glad you had some laughs. That is what really counts, right?

[Mario Seinfeld]

I like the idea, the delivery of the majority of the lines and it definitely gives off the Seinfeld vibe. The animation is good, and the modelling and texture work is great.

I would have liked to see more shots from different angles. An example of this was the repetition of the shots of Mario and Luigi talking to each other. It shot back and forth which seemed a bit dull. I know this isn't an action genre kind of animation, but maybe a tracking shot where the camera follows a character walking somewhere, while talking or doing something, It just seemed very static to me. The dialogue between Mario and Luigi, while funny, lacked something. Luigi's voice actor did a good job, but there were times I could hear a lack of enthusiasm.

Overall, this is great work, and fresh too. I really enjoy your unique spins on different video game franchises. Keep up the good work.

[No Tech Gramps]

The voice acting could be a bit better and the artwork could be cleaner, but overall this was a good piece. It was funny and the animation itself was good too. I really liked the lip sync you did; you had their lower jaws moving when they spoke. Little things like that give an animation some much needed life and some realism.

Now this is really nitpicking, but when your character with the JP shirt turns around, the letters on his shirt are mirrored and they appear backwards. You may want to work on consistency by making a new symbol to replace that character's body so this doesn't happen in future animations. Other than that, I think you did a good job!

[Too Cute: Pokémon]

I really enjoyed this one. I could tell where it was going when we hit the final Pokemon, but it was still clever and pretty funny. The animation was nice, and the character modeling was great too! The textures for each model gave the whole cartoon a pastel/cartoony style that I really like.

Congratulations on the Front Page! You deserve it!

[Toe Nailz]

I like the direction you went with it. It was random and I was not expecting it. Your voice acting was not bad at all, it just sounds like you recorded it in an empty room with a bad mic. That's one of my only critiques.

Your animation is not bad and your artwork is nice. The movements were clean but limited, but considering this is your first attempt at Flash, things can only go uphill from here. I liked it, I hope to see more of your work.

[Gregory Goat: Angry M.D.]

I really like this animation. The voice acting is great and funny, the art style pops out nicely and the character designs, while simple, are great for some laughs too. The animation isn't spectacular, but it works. The humor comes through strong at the end of it. Good work, 4/5.

[SDM - "Richard" Gameplay]

I don't think this belongs on Newgrounds. A demo video for your game would be more suitable to upload on another site, like Youtube. You don't have to wait to pass judgement or get approval to put it on your channel, and you can easily reach a wider audience. There are some places (like my school) that block Newgrounds, so you're limiting your options.

As for the actual game, it looks alright. The graphics are nice, the game looks responsive enough, but the main character's walking animation looks really strange. I can't tell what it's supposed to be. Still, I'll check it out and support the project, but for now, I think you should upload this somewhere else, and with more visual appeal instead of just gameplay. Advertise it, narrate it, do whatever it takes to catch people's attention.

[Animation Compilation]

It's pretty good, the animations and designs are nice. It's just a bit odd seeing all of these animations spliced up into different pieces for a short one minute video. I'd rather see the individual works, but this is still a nice "demo reel", if you can call it that.

[I'll have the']

I must say, I'm a bit embarrassed reviewing this piece since my last review on one of your submissions was unnecessarily harsh. Not to mention, everything I critiqued on in your expressions animation can clearly be seen here. Clean, crisp and smooth animation, funnier content and it's long content too! And from what I read in the reviews, this is an experiment, like the other one. Your experiments show a lot about your craft.

I enjoyed the transition from a sweet, young woman to a deep, hungry man ordering the food. The expressions are great and the lip syncing is good too. You've definitely got a great talent for this, and I'm looking forward what you have to offer when you release a final product!

JaceC responds:

Oh no no don't be! Your criticism is relevant! I do need to work on longer and elaborate plots!

It is reviews like these that make all the work worthwhile!

I really appreciate all of this, you just made my day.

Thank you. Very much. And have a nice day!

[Sonic Ex Pals]

Excellent in every shape way and form. The animation wasn't the best, but given the content and the style of humor, it was a fitting match and helped the humor come across even more so.

This was totally nonsensical in so many ways, and that's why I love it. The homo-erotic sub plots, the disgusting humor, the random and pointless overlapping story. Everything made me laugh. And let me say, I was questioning the validity of this being on the front page. After having witnessed this finally, I can put those thoughts to rest. 5/5. Please do another one, PLEASE.

kalabor106 responds:

Thanks so much. I'll agree my animation is some what sluggish. Glad you could accept it and enjoy the oddity of this.
