pwhittemore's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Candy]

Motionless

Sometimes to judge animations, I'll turn off the sound...just to see if I can figure out what's going on and also not have any biased opinion because of poor to excellent music additions. Try it with this one and you can understand why the score can be no higher than three...what type of movement is going on in this cartoon? A few movie clip tweens...that is all. Still, I enjoyed it enough.

[Yet Another Day]

People Like this

Because they are fourteen and are fascinated by any type of female mammories as they can lay their eyes on. Girl in a low cut top...shower??...ANIMATED! VOTE FIVE! Beyond this, it wasn't bad...but not worth the score it has now.

[Royal Rumble II part 2]

Voices

Put em in...and work on the actual diaglogue...it's very cliche writing...subject verb. Other than the fact I have no idea what was going on, the animation was fantastic--man Flash 8 has some cool gradient effects. I wish I had the money to buy it.

[Sonic Battle X 2]

Pukey

Sprite movies make me ill. Check out Soccerlord8's sprite movie though...it's better than this one.

Shadicman responds:

Bandicoot Says: If you dont like sprite movies then y did u watch it? dont vote bad just because u hate them

[PALADIN episode 3]

Anyone say Starwars?

That's what this reminded me of--the similarities are endless. However, it was enjoyable and the drawings were decent enough. It's still got that same comic book feel that I see all the 'youngsters' emulate who don't try to develop their own style. You'll want to find something of your own...because tons of people draw like this...and do it better. Not trying to bring you down, because its good for what it is, but something to consider in your future.

[Black Knights Episode 2]

Can you say

Trace bitmap? Because I can. I saw it all over the place. But still, despite some spelling errors, there was some genuinely good drawing in there. Nice.

[Hero Quest - SftD #2]

Board Game Animation

Have yet to see it, so I'll give you high on style. But what was past the door? And I wasn't clear if it was supposed to be humorous or not...try and make that line drawn and take a side. I figured yes at first, because of the casting call, but then the figures started to fight...and it wasn't funny...Add voices and better lighting, choose whether it's comedy or action, and try again.

RSQViper responds:

I am not revealing what is past the door in this one. It's just a short. One thing leads to another. In the next one what is behind the dorr is revealed.

As for comedy, the actual movie isn't supposed to be funny, though there will be occasional comedy relief.

As for voices, that won't be happening as most things I hear with voice sound horrible and obvious just one person does all the voices.

I was having issues with the lighting though. :(

[Batman : The Red Hood]

This a Tribute?

It's just the same as the animated series...no style change...so can't score you high on that one. Story was fairly weak as well, I was hoping that this would be a new villain...not someone who already has their origin spelled out. All around pretty well done however.

Gus-Saldanha responds:

Good observation, and yes, it has many elements, theres a strong influence from Bruce Timmm and company, yet u must remember that it is the batman idea that defines the style. Batman TAS is Batman from comics, so in fact, this cartoon is based on the darkness and mystery of the batman, and not exactly from batman TAS.

[Cherub Act: I]

Please I'm so scared

Not really though. There's too much of this stuff popping up on Newgrounds...ooooh let's be strange and gory and have scary voices...and random quick shots of scary things. I could kick that guys arse. But not bad on the drawings.
