mmankt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Disk extermination]

Its done pretty well but..

it lacks the tempo of a fight, everything is too slow. Also the sounds are not too good, however I really like your backgrounds and some of the animations, they are very fluid but as I said-too slow. Kepp up!

NOBU777 responds:

Since the speediness in action is important even though that is not right, I would like to take care from next time, although based also on the spec of PC to view.

[How 2 Succeed on NG]

Damn true man...

what can I say.. this is just NG life. Im sick of those anime and "awesomefuckingsomething" kind movies. Sometimes it just sucks when so many quality movies are hidden somewhere around the portal and a piece of shit is landing on front page..About your flash: nice drawing and lip lync of the narrator..(he could be less static) good voice recording and sounds. waiting for more!

BiffTheTimid responds:

Thanks for the constructive review. I dig the intruder series.

[3D Pinball Animation]

u must have put..

a lot quite a lot effort to this, but this clip sucks. why?:
-the pinball table looks awful - 3dS max can do better rendering
-ugly textures
-no 'pinball' sounds only crappy music
last but not least(because it is MOST IMPORTANT)
THIS IS SLOOOOW..show me a normal pinball table with the ball and table stuff moving >that< slow and i will say "sorry" to you

StupidHumorKing responds:

You don't have to say sorry to me. If you don't like it, you don't like it, fair enough. Considering that this was my first ever 3D animation, I thought I did quite good but obviously I'm not that experienced yet. I'll try 3D animating again later in the future.

[Dark|Realms]

Supposed to be beter..

At first look this movie looked interesting. It has got very nice drawings in the first scene, but then they start fighting..omg.. awful. you are good at drawing static scenes, not animating..better luck in next part, however i see no future in this mini series(?).

Vermillion2 responds:

believe the only way to get better at something is by practice and hard work, im pleased with my flash and i know there's room for improvement,but u can't make everyone happy heh

[Oxygen]

whats the big deal?

Main charges:
This movie is really boring.
Drawings are shitty as hell.
Almost no real animation.
As far as I am concerned this movie is completely not worth the front page.

notorious responds:

thanks for reviewing, but your review isn't really helpful.

P.S. Most daily features get front page, probably because they're good ;) Not saying that your opinion is wrong by any means, I guess just more people liked it than didn't.

[Death's Curtain Ep.01]

okey this is going to be though..

Im a bit confused while writing this comment. When you watch this movie U have some nice impressions, but after its end..i thought.."naaa..wtf.." Until the scene when Michael was captured the movie kept its climate. Then u wasted it.. Also sounds need to be better cuz those u've used are shitty and old..remember that in part2 u should use music ALL THE TIME, then the whole feel will be better. moreover the movie lacks in subtitles and better character animations. All the graphics and backgrounds are great, however better compression would be nice. This movie of yours can be the one of the greatest things on NG..so work hard and make it better!!!

SickDeathFiend responds:

of your review that I understand, I disagree.

[Road to Victory: Teaser]

Looked promising..

with first few slides(after totally unnecessary speech) , but when it came to animate and draw characters it turned horrible.. Ugly faces, bodies etc. However glow effect and water looks very nice. Ive spotted some nice details such as sand being moved by dead body and that counts.. Bullet holes, wounds and sparks were poor. U need to make a big flash and lots of sparks flying over the screen( watch my movie for example) etc. Sound is also neat.. get FEAR COMBAT and Enemy Territory and export sounds from that games(thank God u had Garand's jumping clip sound)
I know that u worked hard on it and it is unpleasant to read such words but u have to try harder my friend and dont make same shots from Saving Private Ryan or other popular WW2 movies. Good luck!!

Falco-09 responds:

Yeah, i know the graphics pretty much sucked, i agree with you. I need to improve that.

But i guess we all need to start somehow, i don't know why almost anyone says that working with a mouse is a pain in the arse, it is, at least for me :P.

Thanks for the review mate, it was very helpful.

[Normandy: PtV Preview]

errr...

So where's the animation? Except bulletby effects and moving fingers and closing eyes? I hope that in the proper movie there will be at least some movment anims. ? Good drawings, but somehow i dont like the colours.. Anyways i'd like to see the whole movie.

HeNe responds:

Hope you read this, but whatever. I really hope that you review whole movie too. Yeah, the colours. Maybe too shinys? I try to put real animation on the movie next time. Thanks for your review mmankt!
