punbeard81's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Face Collab]

Snapzilla. Freakin' rocks

Great editing, great ideas on one idea, and great collab!

TheBoogley responds:

Cheers punbeard81, you have high hair and I respect that.

[BattleToads: TWZs]

Quite a bundle of sweetness

I'd bust out that spell check though. They'll meet "Their" demise and lier is actually liar. Those are tiny nit picks but it's crap you gotta deal with, which gets hard when you have an animation this long. Speakin' of long, this was just a tidge. A lot of running around and the like that could have been cut out, it really would have helped this flow a little better. Still, probably some of the best animation using sprites I've seen, thanks for not half-assin' it. Great work.

[Megaman X: 'the MR']

Too long and better writing

Shorter and too the point would really help this. I realize they are bored but I get anxious for something interesting to happen. Also, some of the wording for your jokes is weak, think of how you can say them more clearly. Audio quality shifts between actors, throws off your vibe.

Kudos for trying clean subject matter, it's a lot harder than just saying ass and damn every ten seconds like a lot of the stuff 'round here. But if you are going to have your dialogue run the better part of your animation, it needs to be more solid, and more entertaining.

Shadowii2 responds:

I know, Im natively Finnish so no wonder why my jokes arent so good sounding most of the time.
Also I'm still pretty much on "rookie" level with picking voices, so no wonder why they dont sound so good sometimes.

Anyways, thanks for your opinions though.

[Time in a Bottle]

great animation

Very nice and fluid movement from one idea to the next. My only beef is I wish sometimes you'd stay on some of the more complex animations just a tidge longer as it's hard to take some of them in so fast. Nice to see a lovey, artsy animation that doesn't make me want to barf. Mad Kudos.

Gate-keeper-girl responds:

Yeaaaah, I apologize for the rushed parts.
Some sections are very "line heavy" and they started to lose their form after 10 or so frames, so I didn't want them to "melt" onscreen

[I Am Christmas]

Flippin' amazing!

Nice animation and and a hilarious ending. Great work!

[Mit dem Doktor]

nice style

has a cool look to it, and it was short and funny. A good combo. My only beef, when you fall through something, like a roof, it breaks in or down, not up. That happens when you explode out of something.

[Jesus vs Godzilla TRAILER]

Pretty gnarly!

Cool look, I'm sad to see Jesus updated his look from the full beard though. Can't wait to see the next piece.

[Stick Fight fbf]

Not bad, needs more time

You have some good animation skills, your quick jumps and blurs were cool (often too fast though) and I like the intro where the background was drawn in, a great effect. Sorry, but even as stick figures go, your drawings are bad, I know it's a lot to animate and you can get in a rythem, but take more time to draw your heads! They look like they are in a constant state of exploding. I'd have rated you higher but the fade to black gets old if you use it too much. Also, if God is gonna raise their bodies he should do something with them. Merge them into one colored ball, eat them, throw them into hell, whatever. The floating just left me confused.

Still, it's a good effort. but as you've said the stick fight has been done. Try making slightly (only slightly) more complex characters and spend time animating that fight. Mass fights are sweet but some of the best fights of all time have been between 2 or 3 people. This will really help hone those skills too. Keep at it!

[Mega Man: Home Movie]

Great moves

A lot of parts drawn on different angles to simulate turnes and twist is never fun in flash, but I really think that for the most part, you nailed it. Great twist too.

[Rockman Neo]

Just lovely

Great style that really captures an overhaul for the series without trying to be saturday morning "EXTREME!" I'd rather play a game that looked like this than the crap they've been barfing out as of late.
