JonHunter's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Nightmare Island]

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed it, especially for it's originality.
Except I kinda felt it didn't really work towards a point.

Also, the sound is out of sync as hell. At first I thought it was just poorly directed. Fix fix fix!

[Nyan Caxx]

I want to know what really happened

Everything's great, I like the style and all. The sound editting is awesome too. The humor is alright.

But what I want to ask is this: If this was based on a true story, then what is the real true story to it? Was it just Nyan Cat, or was it something else? Like, did she eat a bunch of shrooms or something, then watched Nyan Cat, or what? D:

[Bug Love]

It's cool, and original.

First off, I read that you're a female animator? Cool, that's very ordinary. As is the movie!
It's very amateur no doubt, but it's good. It's different and that's a huge plus. I feel as though the voice acting could have been better. The animation is basic but works. At some places it becomes kinda cheap but I see why aswell.

I'd say keep going. Wanna trade techniques feel free to PM =D
I enjoyed it, and I watched it because of it's originality, elsewise I usually don't watch animations that are about this long.

thanks :)

[Mr White - Teaser Trailer]

My personal opinion

Since this isn't the work itself, I'm judging this as a trailer. The trailer didn't say much about your short, what it's going to be about or any other characters but that one.

The animation, and the combination of audio makes me want to see this once it's released. Looking forward to seeing it!

HarisNukem responds:

Thanks. I do actually understand your perspective and I think you've got a very fair point. I carved this trailer out of the first two minutes of the short because I didn't want to give anything away. It's quite a twist based story line.

Definitely appreciate your input, newgrounds has changed since I last came on here.

Thanks.

[Internet Allstars 2011]

Alright here's my thoughts, considering this too..

The artwork needs better work. Animation a little bit of work too. Like just add a bit more time per piece and this would have looked a lot better. Else it was really enjoyable.

I laughed, but this got me thinking.
So this first Falcon Punch animation that basicly had no humour or no good intention in it what-so-ever proved to us that joking about Cpt. Falcon is quite overused. And pretty dull aswell. But what's really the difference between doing that, and doing the same thing that you guys did now?

Other than the fact that this was more of a mashup of all the major internet jokes (with Cpt. Falcon giving some kickass woopin' to them all) this was practicly just as overused as the jokes it was about.

Better luck next time, even though I doubt my pessimist review on this animation will differ it's score or outcome either way.

[Captain falcon strikes]

I do wonder.

I wonder why every review critcising this animation gets the "people think this is a useless review". That usually never happens. I bet this one review will too.

The movement is unrealistic, atleast when it comes to how far he can bend arms and legs. Afaik, Cpt Falcon isn't the unstretchable person.

The coloring, as many have pointed out, needs detail. Shade it more often. Atleast add 2-3 color palettes.
The FBF is good, COULD be better, but isn't needed at all.

The background at the beginning makes this flash look as if a 12 year old made it, could be way better. And as someone else did point out, stop using the linear gradients like there's no tomorrow. It DOES look like the legendaryfrog/Pikanjo(johnrichie) stuff from 2003.

Take the critcism as a gift, it'll make you grow. Or forever stay as an amateur. But if your point of doing flash is to get daily first and get repuation, then carry on. But then let people know they don't need to deem your work good or bad. Because their just wasting space if they do it.

I'm also referring a bit to your reply to a review "meh, i got a daily feature so i dont really care what you think."

[The Duders: Counselling]

Your humour is good.

I like the script, it's funny. What I think you should improve on (judging by this animation) is the art, animation and sound.

Also, instead of adding pictures (like the bear in the snow with something about cocaine in the text) is make the pictures yourself.

Otherwise, good animation =D

TheCriminalDuder responds:

I couldn't resist adding the bear on cocaine. Its a meme I've grown a liking to and wanted to see it in one of my animations.

Also, if ya watch my other stuff I'm always improving. Check out previous flash of mine for comparison and then look forward to future treats from me.

[Genius Cop II]

The jokes could have been better.

The jokes could have been better. You could also have skipped doing a credits scene for a 3(?) minute short. It seems kind of pointless. Same goes for introductions. Rahter you'd have a fulfilling menu screen, replay menu.

Also, work a bit more on the art, and the tilt tweens are kind of annoying. I know, it gives the animation a kind of nice feel and touch, but it also looks a bit cheap when it happens frequently.

Other wise, good job.

Aqlex responds:

Yeah, I think the jokes are what dropped this animation's score down so low. They weren't the best, I just didn't realize they were THAT bad. I guess I could have skipped a credits scene, I just enjoy featuring a different audio portal song for the credits of every animation I make xD. The introduction was supposed to be its own little joke though, so I don't regret putting that in.
I admit, I'm not a very good artist, but with each animation I improve a bit, so the art is slowly but surely getting better. And the tilt tweens, I promise I won't use them as much. I did like the effect it had, though.
Anyway, thanks for the review! I'm glad you didn't base your score entirely on the quality of the jokes =)

[Kawaii Robo Star: Xtreme]

Hahah!!

You my good sir are a genius. Just add a bit of movement to these characters and it would of been so much cooler. =D

AxelTheNavy responds:

Yeah I did slack alot, and thnx

[Rudy gets a call]
