swiftstylerX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sometimes, y]

Brilliant.

This is one of the best flashes in the past year. I didn't know something so simple could be THAT good.

[Shirt N' Pants]

lol guys

Lol @ the idiots that think this is supposed to be some full animation. It's basically just an advertisement for the thread.

But both of those were really well animated.

[Sketched - Pregnancy Test]

Haha, Great.

Reminded me a lot of Home Movies. I'll assume some of this was improvised, because that's what it felt like, to me.

Very funny, and the animation was good enough to get the point across. I can't wait to see more from you, and I hope this gets front page.

sirjeffofshort responds:

Hey, thanks for the review.

Bill says he was channeling Mcgurk when we recorded it so you were right on with the Home Movies.

This sketch was improv, but only a portion of our future ones will be. (what portion will be determined by how popular they are.)

Thanks again for the support.

[Fallen Angel Ep. 1 (Pt2)]

Too Awesome

I've been waiting for this forever. So far, it's been just as good as I thought it would be.

[Super Damien]

Wait, What?

"This Is An Old Flash Animation I did back in 2005 Before I blew up on da music scene."

Direct quote from the credits:

"Some ideas by Soulja-Boy"

You didn't even animate this, and yet you're taking full credit for it? You're under the "Special Thanks" credits for christ sakes.

I'm giving a 7 for the true author of the flash.

[Power Star 4.5]

Wow... Total Win.

I don't know how you do it. Seriously.

JonBro responds:

I just used Flash 8 and animated nonstop. That's about it.

[The 1-up Pursuit]

Completely Owned JonBro

Everyone thought JonBro was amazing, and that no one could make a better entry than him. You just destroyed his.

[Two-Hour Time Trial VII]

Take Your Time

No, not with the parts themselves, because obviously they have a time limit. But do you REALLY need to crank it out an submit it within just a few hours? Why don't you compile it, and test for bugs and everything before submitting? Looking in the thread, there was apparently a lot of things wrong with the menu and such.

I don't see why you can't take your time with setting it up correctly. Just because the parts have a time limit, it doesn't mean compiling it should, also.

On to the collab:

It was semi-good. You've completely milked the idea, and it's just getting worse. Stop while you're ahead. If you must, stop it at 10, or something. The only good parts were the Dad 'N Me ones (yeah yeah, you made them).

I'm expecting something better for the next one.

Rudy responds:

Alright, And the bugs were fixed<3

[Tom & the Afro-Ninja Sigs]

Ebony and Ivory...

Was the funniest thing I have EVER seen. You win dude, hands down. This flash is just plain hilarious. Thank you for making it, seriously.

(not sure if I should make a swift-ninja sig)

Kart-Man responds:

I see you've found the secret! :D

Thanks for the review!

[Intruder Returns]

Not a Masterpiece

First of all, never call your own animation a masterpiece. It makes you seem very pretentious and full of yourself. I mean, when I read that, I was already thinking, "Oh god, another animator who thinks he's the best thing around." You might just want to edit out that line from your author comments.

Now to get to the actual flash. After reading the author comments I was expecting a masterpiece, but what I found was another intense graphics, rotoscoped, plotless animation. If you really believe that a masterpiece animation consists of traced animation, and no story whatsoever, then you're wrong.

This indeed is not a masterpiece, and will never be worthy of that name. Sure, you had great effects, great sounds, and what would SEEM to be realistic animation, but is actually rotoscoped crap which any animator can do. But where is the true animation? Where are the wonderfully composited backgrounds combined with characters? All I saw in this was, "DARK BACKGROUND AND DARK CHARACTER EQUALS A GOOD COMPOSITION." That's usually never this case, and definitely was not the case this time.

What I'm trying to get at, is that in no way does this animation deserve this score. I've seen plenty of flashes exactly like this, with the same amount of quality that have much lower scores, and this should be placed in that exact same area. Next time you try to create a masterpiece, please animate the characters without having to trace anything, and PLEASE have more of a plot than this, PLEASE.

I'm looking forward to your future animations.

mmankt responds:

well i wrote "my masterpiece", as I consider it to myself. It is MINE. I'm proud of it and well aware of it's quality. I am SORRY that I haven't put any colorful flowers for you. Constructive critique is good but your review presents bitter words of a hater.
