TheJamoke's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sauron VS Visine]

Dissapointed

The premise for this joke has so much potential, but the flash wasted all of it.
I hope a more skilled animator takes this idea and turns into something funnier with better voice over and a script that doesn't seem like it was written by a 5th grader.

[Halloween Adventure Entry]

Obvious effort in this one

It is easy to see you in fact did put effort into this. Not bad overall, the animation style is very reminiscent of Genndy Tartakovsky and his "pulp" rendered style cartoons, although it could have been longer. However, I'm sure you spent a good amount of time working this out which can become tiresome and after a while an artist just wants it to be done. Neat entry, but one word of advice: don't beg for a high score. NG patrons prey on desperation and will be a-holes just for the hell of it. Not me though, I'll give it a 4/5 and wish you luck.
p.s.- good looks on using Mr. Bungle. Respek.

[This Wall]

suggestion box:

If you are going to resubmit even if this doesn't make it through the portal, I would like to suggest slowing down the pedestrian animation just a bit (it migh add some length to your flash.) Try cutting to different angles, switch between 3rd and 1st person view for example, and for obvious reason all be it kinda cliche, try using Pink Floyd for the background music. I'll assume I don't have to spell out which song of theirs to use. Lastly, how 'bout some sort of graffiti on the wall?
(by the way, the "boy" looks more like a girl. go with it maybe? it could work.)
hope things work out.

DemonPrototype01 responds:

I refuse to use copyrighted music, even though the mood would fit. It's a good idea. There's reasons for every aspect of this animation, which no one has considered at all. The wall is massive and bleak. The masked people are efficient. The boy is just a multipurpose child.

Thank you for actually writing a thoughtful review, though.

[Phoenix Right : Super Mix]

Bullseye, first shot.

If this is really your first flash then I'm gonna crap myself waiting for the second. Good stuff, serious. Hope you get an award like Review Crew, King of Portal or at least a Daily. Smooth sprites, crisp audio, exelent humor. Start making them just a tad longer (or not, who cares) and you've got an original series. Respek. 5/5, 9/10.

[Aladdin 3150]

Speachless.

There are simply no words to describe it.

I almost wept.

[Schitzoid]

dude, eerie...

The crappy furnishings, an ashtry littered with butts, the main character contemplating suicide in the middle of the night, his name is Michael...
Dude, have you been in my arpartment? Seriously man, that hit a little close to home.
This is ill. I hope you win the halloween contest. Seriously, 5/5, 9/10. You deserve it.

[ELEMENTAL]

Lame.

Before you try to make a flash like this, here's three things you should do:
1. Search NG and study other such "Elemental" flashes. It's been done. To death.
2. Study other stick figure animations. There a many 'cuz it has also been done. To death.
3. Look up the meaning of the word "cliche." It has much to do with just about every aspect of this flash.
Not trying to be harsh, just offering constructive criticism. I will still recognize that it took some effort to do this so I will at least vote it a 2/5 in the hopes it doesn't get completely snuffed. Good luck & keep practicing. 3/10.

[SSBOC Fighter Profiles]

Some type of animation wouldn't hurt either.
It was kind of a boring gallery.

Proto165 responds:

Aye, well I actually just rewrote what the actual profiles for these characters were, and a few of those artists are around the ages of 14-15. I could have changed it myself, but I was a bit more concerned about the coding and such.

Yoda is indeed wise ^_^

[2007 Halloween Short]

potential

Aptly named a "short," but that shouldn't get in the way of the fact that you certainly have potential as a flash animator. Smooth, good lip sync, just come up with longer story lines for your next project and you should be gold.
Good job testing the water. Hope things go your way. Nice 1st. 7/10, 4/5.

[TT with Cookie Monster PV]

lookin' forward

seems like it might be an interesting idea. should be funny as long as there will be pleanty of cursing, sexual inuendo and/or gay jokes, and uninhibitted drug usage. giving it an ok score even though it was just a preview. 6/10, 3/5.

Billy-Bean responds:

Sweet, thanks! \m/
