Mightydein's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Memes]

Internet memes are an extreme annoyance because of their predictability and over use.

I've been frequently annoyed by certain internet memes despite my best efforts to avoid seeing them.

The shirtless man on the computer expresses a very common sentiment towards the dreaded internet meme.

He was annoyed by the internet memes to the point of bashing his head against the keyboard.

Telling a joke will induce laughter because of the element of surprise.

Repeat that same joke loses comedic punch after lots of repetition.

What makes internet memes a strong annoyance is repetition.

You produced a good inside joke to anyone entirely familiar with internet memes.

I liked the drawing you selected for your thumb nail.

I'm more likely to click onto a movie if the drawing style catches my eye.

The title reflected the subject matter of your movie along with the nerd on movie's icon.

You had a great concept but didn't completely capitalize on the subject of internet memes.

You could have additional gags of internet spewing kids popping stupid pills, bashing their heads with a hammer, ect

A lot of potential for silly gags can still be had with your chosen subject matter.

Make another movie about memes.

[Yonder Ho! - Episode 1]

I've seen episode 2 of this series first.

I was expecting the series to be like a serial based on the content of episode 2.

This episode never really explained where the rabbit character came from.

Based on the two episodes already posted.

I'll assume that each episode are stand alone entities with loose continuity.

These two episodes shown themselves to be stand alone episodes.

This episode was a bit shorter than the second episode and gave increased time for fine tuning the drawings.

Parts of episode one were a bit funnier; However, the second episode was much higher quality overall.

You an interesting series so far.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you so so much! I've never gotten any real feedback on these before. Thank you for that. And yes, the episodes are sort of like stand alone stories, and things aren't always explained. They tend to start in the middle in a way. Thanks again for your input : )

[Yonder Ho! - Episode 2]

You had plenty of very imaginative situations in the entire movie and a lot of genuine effort went into the movie.

The music used for this movie was very beautiful and served well for establishing mood.

A lot of experimentation went into the movie and certain scenes made your crude drawings look better.

The movie was also very long in terms of run time.

I rarely ever seen newgrounds submissions make an entire half hour episode of their cartoon series.

The increased length kinda hurts your movie in certain places since some scenes tend to drag.

Increased length also eliminated opportunities to fine tune certain drawings.

The increased length also helped your movie in certain places.

You gave your audience an opportunity to learn what makes each character tick.

Character development sometimes needs extra time to be of service towards the plot.

Spending more time in the rewriting stages can often eliminate filler and will significantly simplify production ten fold.

I look forward to seeing new episodes of your series.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks, Mighty. I'm very grateful that someone took the time to watch my little cartoon show and give their thoughts. I know they're pretty long, so thank you for taking the time to watch 'em : )

I will be uploading an episode daily for a little while. So far I have 9 made and working on episode 10. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions. I can tell you are sincere and honest, and I really appreciate that. I'm not sure if you'll like episode 3. It's not my favorite episode to be honest.

[Bulbasaur Evolution]

Neat little frame by frame animation of bubasaur evolving into his other forms.

It could have used color and a background would be a nice addition too.

You made a good little animation experiment.

It's great for what it is.

-Mightydein

[The Book]

I like the expressive eyes on your characters.

You played around with the pupils within the eyes to convey emotion and combined it with facial expression and body language.

I like the frame by frame animation used to convey the emotions of the little orange guy.

The other guy tweened towards him and than said a disparaging remark towards to him.

The lip syncing could use a bit of work and that can be improved upon by watching yourself repeat the dialogue in front of a mirror.

Place heavy emphasis on important key words for the lip syncing such as the word; "Ugly" for example.

The lip synching doesn't have to be perfect since you can't really read the lips of a cartoon character.

I like the animation, character designs, music and how the characters convey emotion.

3/5

[El Club del Random #4]

This will be difficult to review because of the language barrier.

I don't understand a single word out of the dialogue used in that movie but the voices placed a lot of emotion in their acting.

I can overlook the language barrier whenever the submission is a music video that used foreign music.

I can also overlook language barrier on comic book sound effects.

I can not overlook the language barrier on dialogue spoken by the characters because it is needed to follow the story.

I would be interested in seeing subtitles or an english dubbed version of this movie.

I'm well aware that not everyone on newgrounds is a native English speaker but it is a good idea to post an english version too.

It was an interesting movie but I would like to see an english translation of it.

MatrimeleeStudios responds:

I very appreciate your review, Please excuse me for not dubbing to English because of the video contains many dialects of the language of my nation, Colombia, many of these dialects do not have the English translation, and i want to the Newgrounds Community, in specific the Colombian Community, ear a flash animation with the typical Colombian dialects, however, i know what the Newgrounds Community speak english in majority, i appreciate your comment and i effort to dub the next videos in english.

Thanks and Sincerely

[Cat On Stairs]

This movie looks very cool.

I like the effect of the 3D stairs and the backgrounds had a neat look to them.

I assume the backgrounds were created in GIMP.

The character was very expressive and the sound was excellent.

I loved the music, voice acting and sound effects.

I personally didn't laugh but was at least entertained.

[Miiverse Fun-Time]

I love miiverse because it is fun to draw on that application.

I like your parody of the miiverse but you could have made fun of other asspects of the miiverse itself.

I liked the overall cartoonyness of this whole video.

The voice acting was brillent and the character was very expressive.

I enjoyed the show.

-Mightydein

[Flick it]

I enjoyed the humor of this cartoon and loved your usage of multiple camera angles.

Your drawings were extremely crude but you still treated them as three dimensional objects in their own universe.

You are gonna make some very polished movies later on in life.

The voice acting in this movie has great performances and the animation added another layer of comedy.

This is a very funny movie and I look forward to seeing more from you.

[Storm Ryder]

Pretty cool movie but I would try to make a more polished looking city to make more impressive visuals.

Most people draw their cities as a series of rectangle buildings with windows and it is common mistake.

Actual cities have different kinda building structures and are extremely difficult to draw.

I would recommend looking at reference material of cities and than observe carefully while drawing.

If you live in an actual city than you have the luxury of grabbing some portable art supplies and than using the out doors as part of your reference material.

I once gone to the woods and started to look at actual trees as reference material for drawings.

It requires patience to draw from any kind of reference material.

Buildings are very hard to draw and that advice was merely a small nit pick about your movie.

I would have liked to have seen the actual helicopter getting cut by the sword.

You used the animation short cut of a darkened screen with slashes acting as colorful lights.

It's a very effective animation shortcut and I won't discourage you from using that technique.

Sometimes the darkened screen with colorful light slashes looks cool in a certain instances.

Rewatch the intro of the teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon from the 1980's for example of a cool colorful light slashes.

Observe the part in the intro's visuals of the four turtles falling from the sky.

The turtles swing their weapons as they fall towards the earth and than finally Leonardo slashes downwards with his sword.

The screen darkens and you see leonardo's sword slash as light moving downwards.

That same sword slash also acts as a scene transition at the same time.

I'm trying to describe that very cool slash effect used in the intro of teenage mutant ninja turtles.

It's a very cool effect and you should consider borrowing it.

I liked the running cycle of the black ninja and how he leaped from one building to another.

The helicopter looked very cool and showing the storyboard used in the end credits was a nice touch.

Those were small insignificant nitpicks about your movie because the overall packaging was very cool.

You made an excellent first movie.
