Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pokemon Golder]

The drawing style used for this pokemon has a much more distinct look than the anime.

I seen way too many anime fan flashes that attempt to create a carbon copy of the original.

The parody is based more on the game boy games and many of the references will be misunderstood by me.

I really like your more cartoony drawing style because it really adds a sense of fun.

The characters had very expressive faces and a lot of frame by frame has been used.

I didn't find this parody to be funny in my own personal opinion; However, the frantic pace added a certain entertainment value.

Many of the male voices sounded the same because one actor was likely multi tasking.

It is sometimes difficult to get extra voice actors for each character in certain situations.

Sometimes you can recognize the actor doing multiple voices despite their disguise.

One actor per role is the ideal goal of any flash movie.

You seemed to have already established a fanbase and many of your fans would likely help with voices.

The actual voice acting itself was good for the most part.

I like the music selection used for this entire movie and a lot of the tunes referenced classic nintento.

This pokemon parody turned out to be better than average because of it's more distinct drawing style.

Make some original non parody movies to mix things up.

I would love to see your drawing style used to create different kinds of movies as well.

Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth critique for both my videos. I'm glad you found things to like despite the humor not being your thing, and yes my work as of late is heavily influenced by Scott Pilgrim. I'm working towards making more original stuff.

[Tough Guys 2]

This sequel works as a stand alone movie; However, a certain bit of information becomes lost without viewing the first Tough guys movie.

The recap at the beginning helps with making sense out of this new movie.

The events all started because two men in the gym were fighting over free weights.

The sequel is actually really crazy when placed into it's proper context.

The two tough guys befriended each other in the first movie and unintentionally destroyed the gym with a powerful high five.

This attracted the attention of the government and one of the tough guys was held captive.

The touch guy held captive had his muscles taken away by his kidnappers.

That is a very silly gag because muscles can only weaken from lack of exercise.

You made an interesting decision to introduce some badguys your show.

The previous movie although had some conflict did not have any actual villains.

Both of the tough guys are good guys.

Sometimes, good people get into petty arguments much like anyone else.

The first movie was basically a Good vs Good sort of movie.

That adds a certain sense of reality to the fantasy world.

The tough guys basically acted as antagonists to each other in your previous movie.

The second movie introduces more traditional styled antagonists to the show.

The army guys were obviously very bad and were cruel towards their prisoners.

I can understand that they would be curious about two men destroying the gym with a power high five.

My sympathy for these army guys ended when they took away one of the tough guy's muscles.

cruelty towards their prisoners has established the army guys as the clear cut villains.

This second movie continues from where the last episode left off.

I love the idea of presenting more episodes of this cartoon as a serial.

I didn't expect to see a second tough guys episode and I'm now curious about a third episode.

Your drawings are still a bit crude and amateurish; However, you compensated for this.

You took the simple everyday event of two men fighting over free weights and turned it into an imaginative serial.

[Bowser's Lair]

I've definitely seen worse early submissions to this website.

I was expecting much worse based on many of the harshly worded reviews.

I noticed a lot of enthusiasm behind this movie and a willingness to try new things.

You utilized a lot different camera angles and the music added a sense of scope to your work.

The cartoon was obviously the work of an inexperienced animator; However, increased run time could significantly improved upon the movie's quality.

An increased runtime gives you time to develop characters, move the story forward, experiment and generally entertain the audience.

The downside of an increased runtime is a larger workload and risk of creating a boring feature.

You want to avoid including filler in longer movies to avoid dragging things on.

I've enjoyed watching this short animated feature and look forward to your new stuff.

STOOVRS responds:

Thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement! I almost have all the voice actors done with acting for my newest animation, Pikachu Finally Snaps!

[Cool Rayman]

This movie was kinda neat because it looked to be created in flipnotes.

But the actual movie had a lot of color.

I assumed you used a newer version of flipnotes to create this movie.

The additional colors in the new version of flipnotes will make more creating better looking cartoons.

Perhaps you can create more movies using that version of flipnotes.

Keep practicing

-Mightydein

STOOVRS responds:

im thinking of doing a pokemon animation with voice acting and made from flipnote studio. it'll be black and white to fit the classic game boy filter. i could need a little help with the voice actors from newgrounds. perhaps you could be in it as well.

[Lose Control]

I noticed you have utilized a lot of the special effects available in flash.

You used frame by frame, tweens, shape tweens, solid colors and gradients.

You don't normally see these effects used together in the same movie in most cases.

The characters were very cute in appearance but the drawings can still be improved upon.

The characters had very crude looking hands.

Take the time to observe the shape of actual hands to make improvements.

I love the science fiction theme behind the music video.

The chick who created the song did a good job and the accompanying visuals combined to make a music video.

This was a very neat little music video.

[Cole Phelps: Still an Ars]

I like how you utilize hand painted backgrounds as part of your cartoon.

It's actually really cool since most people don't hand paint their backgrounds.

Your backgrounds look a bit rushed but still surprisingly visually appealing.

Take more time with creating your backgrounds to make them more polished.
Excellent choose in music and the voice acting worked with it's given subject matter.

I like the frame by frame animation used for this movie.

You draw very cute girls.

The little girl in the movie obviously had a man's voice doing a falsetto for comedic effect.

I like how the backgrounds sometimes act as a secondary character for enhancing emotions.

Those backgrounds used for enhancing character emotion looked great.

The characters had very expressive faces.

I did find plenty of humor in your movie despite a large chuck of your movie going over my head.

I don't know what you are spoofing.

In closing; The movie was surprisingly amusing despite your references being lost on me.

[They Come In 'Peace']

I love how you drawn your city with buildings using multiple shapes for the standing structures.

Most people just draw their cities as a series of rectangles and squares with windows.

You've avoided a very common flash artist mistake commonly seen on other internet cartoons.

Buildings are very hard to draw correctly and you managed to accomplish this.

The alien egg had some nice squash and stretch animation.

The ufo had a great sound effect and the music was fitting.

This was a surprisingly enjoyable quick movie.

akoRn responds:

thank you :) i made this while i was in college, its a wonderful learning experience

[Hulk Smash]

Silly little quick gag using spiderman and the hulk as characters.

You did a better job drawing the hulk than spiderman.

Spiderman's costume is missing the web design on the face and body.

You can easily improve at drawing spiderman by adding a spider web onto his costume.

Spiderman also has a spider on his chest for his costume.

Look into various spiderman media to make improvements at drawing spiderman.

You could even buy action figures to understand already existing characters in three dimensions.

I like the effect used for snow and how you drawn the snow flakes differently.

You could even change the colors of snow flakes to interact with the lights and shadows of your out door environment.

The house outside had some great coloring.

I hope this review has provided you with feedback useful for future improvement.

I look forward to seeing your other movies.

-Mightydein

Rigamarole responds:

I tried to keep spiderman minimalistic. It was a stylistic choice that I went with to save time, considering I didn't want to spend too long on a cartoon based around a silly gag. Thanks for the feedback though! Greatly appreciated my man!

[Torture]

I watched the unknown assassin before seeing this movie.

Watching that movie first has provided a lot of humorous context to this current feature.

The movie can easily be understood as a stand alone entity; However, a certain level of humor becomes lost in translation without the previous installment.

That chick being tortured by those ghosts is no innocent victim because she murdered those three individuals.

The ghosts were dishing out cold revenge towards their killer.

The movie can easily be enhanced by adding some voices to the character's.

The girl only talked in speech balloons and voice acting would be a significant improvement.

I look forward to reviewing your other movies.

Keep drawing and continue to practice your craft.

LightningBolt13 responds:

Hey, I saw your other review, and sorry that I didn't reply. But thank you for commenting. I appreciate it a lot! Yeah I think I should've made it clearer that this wasn't a movie by itself.. And I'll try and voice next time, but I think it'll be worse because I have a really childish voice.

[Awesome Nesscar - Ninjas]

Your drawings could use a bit of improvement but you will get better with practice over time.

I like the music used for the movie's soundtrack.

The sound effects could have used a bit of improvement.

If you make the sound effects with your mouth than it would be advisable to alter it's pitch using digital manipulation.

Sounds can be changed easily with recording software.

Mess around with your sound until the sound effects become perfected.

You can also borrow already existing sound effects from other sources as well.

As already said in previous reviews; Stick with your craft and keep practicing.

You will only become better over time.
