NewgroundSage's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[♥ More Gentle Words ♥]

This was an okay entry. Others here might find MGS "Old" but that shouldn't be the case to help support the fandom (such as myself) in good old fashioned entertainment. This reminded me of an old classical entry of the Metal Gear Discs series (which can be found on this site's archives). Basically, they're collections of MGS shorts all rolled into one good long duration. For this presentation it was a bit soft some. Voice acting was okay, animation was a little rough but not completely out of duration at all. Its actually nice to see some old game parodies once in awhile (in fact its actually a nice comeback in my opinion). I was going to give you a 2 out of 5 but I think you deserve a tiny bit more for your troubles. I'm giving you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep on creating my friend. And I hope to see more of these in your upcoming projects, good old games never die! I hope you've enjoyed this review and have a good day.

Don't worry its just a trailer. The best is yet to come...

[A Honorable Fight]

Pretty good! I can see why Tom Fulp vouched for you. The animation may not be the "grandest" or cultivating on this site. But... Your humor is golden non the less! You took one of my favorite personal games of my childhood and turned it (like many others) into a goofy, hilarious comedy. Voice acting was a bit soft, audio was decent and animation wise it was fair. Humor on the other hand was your mettle and strong suit so you pulled that off real good in my eyes! I was going to give you a 2 in a half out of 5. But I think you deserve a solid 3/5 for your troubles. You also receive a solid 4/5 in voting power since you got me to crack up laughing at good old original comedy! Well done! I hope you've enjoyed this review and make it at the top of the crowd here. As usual, this site needs new fresh blood to mingle with those that have found solid ground here. Again, keep up the good work and have a great day!

I want to build my audiance and at least get popular enough where i can make this a job because making cartoons has always been a dream of mine. So im glad that my toon made you laugh because it gives me clarity to keep going so I can keep bringing in the laughs.

[Doggy]

Pretty good. Nice try with the horror touch to this stop motion short. Classical horror movie moment straight out of John Carpenter's "The Thing". I was going to give you a 1 in a half but seeing a classic concept, I'm giving you a solid 2 out of 5! And for voting power a 2/5. Keep it up! The more you experiment and create, the better you become here! I hope you've enjoyed this review.

[Lazer Fight]

This was a pretty cute short. Its simple and a bit mildly amusing. There are a couple of faults here.: Audio was decent to say the least and the animation was done in a semi-bland matter.The biggest one thought that I have to mention for the entire matter (with many of these presentations) is the lack of a "Start" and a "Restart" button for your flash short. Since, this is your beginning on trying your hand in flash animation I don't mean any scrutiny or qualms against you or your respected works. I reiterate, it was pretty cute from beginning to end. I'm bestowing you a solid 2 out of 5 for your efforts. Keep trying at it, don't give up! I hope that you've enjoyed this review and have a good day.

[On Time Management]

This was quite a unique short. It was informative, lightly comedic and had a slight "business" professional feel to it. Audio was decent in a serious based tone for the topic/subject and matter. Although it might be 'bland' to others liking or taste, I find it out of great respect to be a decent flash animation in its own right. The only thing that is only a minor fault is the lack of a start or restart button throughout this whole presentation. Regardless, this is only a minor setback. In overall in this review, I congratulate you on a job well done! I'm bestowing you a decent 3 in a half out of 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review as much as i have enjoyed your animated short. Keep practicing and excelling in this route, I see good animation potential out of you! Have a great day good sir.

JohnLothe responds:

Thank you very kindly for your feedback. I apologize for the lack of a start/restart button, a bit new to flash, and was unaware of how to put one in. This peice was a bit rushed but I was happy with it overall, I was trying to convey to the viewer that, in our modern fast paced society, we do not really have much time to spend on ourselves, and our loved ones. Which forces us to make sacrifices in areas where we normally wouldn't . Take for example education, which is more often than not sacrificed for entertainment. Overstandable, as most will not subject themselves to anything for any extended period of time if that thing is not at least somewhat entertaining. As for the bland tone of voice, I must say that this is something that I have to work on. I read books of a somewhat scholastic nature for audio recordings, and, as I am sure you can tell it tends to rub off. Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement, it helps make these tasks all that much more enjoyable.

[Reading Smeading]

Decent photoshop based animation. I really liked the lightly surreal style of it but the plot and matter of it all felt very weak and strained to me. Audio and voice acting was decent but again, its really the plot that kind of dragged the experience down for me. Again, I thin you did fairly well otherwise to say the least. I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. I hope you've enjoyed this review and keep creating and never give up. Good day.

[Randell is BATMAN!]

I love this! Its a very cute original short. Its not everyday that I see an animation fully rendered in cel shaded 3D neither. I really admired the premise of it. A young boy who is playing superhero with the very power and essence of his imagination. Not only was the style and design decent but what was incorporated into it sealed the deal for me. Voice acting was decent, especially for the protagonist (kind of reminds me of me honestly!). Another big ringer for me is that you used my most personal favorite of heroes as a means of telling a truly classic little nerd tale. I'm a huge fan of Batman so it was bound to be given a fair view either way. The only insignificant mistake I took notice of was just the hand's design of the main character at the very beginning of this short but to me that's really honestly nothing. To me, you've done a very good job and did the important part that defines a true animator and that's carrying on the subject and telling a very amusing story. Again, you delivered very well here friend! I'm bestowing you full honors for your short. A solid 5/5 and a 5/5 in voting power! I hope you've enjoyed this review and thanks for bringing the smiles to me, I really did enjoy this wonderful short animation. Keep up the good work in your future animations and projects here. Have a splendid day friend!
