PookatDino's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cookie Polkka]

Uninteresting..

There was nothing wrong with your drawings, which were high quality for something done in flash; but the animation is...very very "lame". I am familiar with little anime loops but really it doesn't make me go "OMG AMAZING". The small differences throughout barely kept me interested enough to watch the whole thing.
While I enjoyed the drawing and the song, with a flash movie I'd like to be a little more entertained while I'm watching it.

[The Morphing Line 1]

The thing about "line" flashes

They definitely have to have some exceptional qualities to stand out from the pack. After all, there are many flashes like this.
There were some more creative uses of the line and a nice bit of length compared to some. but the animation (which is obviously very important) wasn't really as smooth as it coulda/shoulda been. Maybe it is just your frame rate, but it just seemed like in some places where the line should have been flowing smoothly its movement was disjointed and not as clean as it could have been.
I can't say it was a horrible attempt, but in a world with many lines this flash doesn't really stand out as being remarkable or different.

[The Life Is Going To End!]

This is unfortunate

I can't say I am an avid lover of the madness flashes. But I can appreciate some of them for their neat animations and some very interesting ideas. But this one has nothing innovative about it, it was basically "just another madness flash". Not only that but it had some little negative quirks like jerky animations and of course the major sound flaw. It was also relatively short. So in all I'd say there was nothing new or interesting that set this madness apart from any other.

ok;) but ty fore giving point anny way:) and it is my first movie in Newgrounds..-.-

[FrameByFrame Fun 1]

Practice =/= Flash movie

This is the kind of thing I would do to practice and learn how to animate better, and it is definitely an important thing to do. However, there is a reason why things like this shouldn't be submitted, imagine every user made little practice movies and submitted them here. The portal would be flooded with thousands of 15 second movies with no substance, perhaps things that aren't animated horribly, but things that we don't need to see here. Consider making more "feature length" flashes or at least something with more substance than a line flying around the screen, and keep things like this to yourself (but don't stop practicing of course)
As for the animation, your frame rate is either slow or you just drew it very jumpily. it could be smoother, but at least you are putting effort into frame by frame animation. Keep in mind that animating a line is even more simplistic than animating a stick figure, I can't really throw up my arms and say "YOU ARE AN AMAZING ANIMATOR, MAKE A REAL MOVIE NOW!" because real movies involve more elaborate shapes and drawings.
I hope you take the time to practice such things and then apply them to a real movie, something that I can show actua appreciation for.

[Slintas' Birthday]

More amusing than most birthday flashes

As a whole most of the ones I've seen in the portal were really stupid. Perhaps the animation and such of this weren't the greatest in the world, but it had it's points. And just the pace it went at really made it good, so WELL DONE SIR

LordCraigus responds:

Danke schön

[Hand Funnies!]

That's the joke, kids

It makes you think it is something really hardcore with the description and the information at the beginning, and the humor is in the irony that it is just a hand saying "oh".
It is nice to see a clever joke rather than a bunch of cock jokes and people dying randomly for once. And I can appreciate the differant brand of humor.
Of course it could be improved, the actual animation could be a LITTLE more extensive, but I understand the simplicity is needed to get the effect you were going for.

[ice cream head ache]

Very cool

I'd love to see a really long video featuring this sort of thing.
And the best moment was when you pulled out the "brain" of the icecream with the little eye stalks on it. Very creative XD

0IFlyingVI0 responds:

thanks man, and i am trying to make a much longer and more complicated one now :)

[Seal Beating]

Hehe

Nothing like shock humor. Perhaps not the newest most innovative idea but still very amusing, it definitely put a smile on my face.

I also give you credit for using the thomas the tank engine song.

[Lol Obama]

Clever troll is clever...

But not really.

I can appreciate making people scream in rage, but it doesn't make this any more worthy of actual praise.

Grumio responds:

Praise? No.

Lulz? Yes.
