swiftstylerX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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.

[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.

[Madness: Newgrounds]

Good job, although...

You kinda ripped off my idea. Although I'm sure you didn't realize it. =P Check out my PicoDay submission in my userpage. It's basically the same idea as yours, except you kind of expanded a little from it.

The funnier thing is that I'm submitting my flash, Madness: Pathway Through Newgrounds later on today.

OblivionStudios responds:

Ya I can see the similarity now that I've viewed your's but I can honestly say today was the first time I saw it.

[Yoshi's Mishaps]

K, thanks.

URrite.

JonBro responds:

Darn rite I'm rite.

[Neurosis Collab II Alpha]

Looks better than the first...

Which isn't saying much. The first one sucked, and this one looks like it will be pretty bad too. The only one even remotely good was the first part, just because of Death.

Other than that, PLEASE don't make a third one. I'm sure this one will do better than the first, but it should stop right there.

(btw, thanks for banning me on your userpage =D)

YK-Blaze responds:

first thing....fuck you.....and i will make a third because you said you dont wanna :P

[Xionic Madness - Trailer]

Can't wait...

Even though I've seen most of it already, it still looks like it's going to be amazing! I don't know why, but that music really pumped me up, XD.

You better win one of the prizes. >_<

Xionico responds:

mwahah you wont have the muneys bish >:c

[Blockhead: Episode 10]

AWESOME!!!!

It was awesome. But there were a few bugs. You're missing a window breaking sound when Blockhead punches through the window. Plus some random text pops up during the part with the old man and woman.

Other than that, it was awesome!!! Great job, once again!

The-Swain responds:

Haha, you found two of the three "glitches" whose fixes didn't make it over on my file transfer. Isn't it great that I use Newgrounds to test my file, and then upload it to my own site when it's ready. Haha :D

Good job on the attentiveness, Swift.
