TESM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mystical Ninjas Ep.1]

ugh.

now,i can appreciate the effort, but this was just not good! I'm not going to vote on how much i like the game, or sympathy points, or whatever, this was just very shoddy, technically.

Good: The music, by far. crisp, clear, nice to listen too. good sound effects as well. the game wasn't 1/2 bad either.

Bad: Story, gah! The story is so bad i can't stand it. Sometimes a little extra time invested in story can make all the differecne, all these jokes are old and tired, think outside the box! The animation was also pretty linear and lame, with few redeeming qualities. Action was poor, although the use of characters was alright.

I'm just nto impressed. if it had a good story, this would be more along the lines of a 7, maybe an 8. You have to work hard with that and can't do like a day long production.

I think the bad outweighed the good in this, it just wasn't that good in most areas.

sorry, that's what I saw, and looking closely at it, although no silly technical stuff was done, it just doesn't sit well, and looks wayy too rushed.

better luck next time.

2/5

[B/W Cartoon About Berries]

eh... not bad.

just to note, people who just say 'David Firht FUCKING ROCK' are dumb... bad grammar at the least.

none-the-less, this is alright. I'm a little dissapointed that everything in this more serious genre is becomming more and more alike with each one before it. It's a nice movie, great pencil shading and drawing, although animation technique could use a touch up. bleh to tweens.

nice visuals, i could stand for a bit better animation, overall, it was good. you always do good ambiance(sp) and some very 'out-there' stuff, which i can appreciate, it's unique at least.

keep at it and keep gettin better.

ha ha

sorry i can;t score you guys way too high, because i do that for the serious effort ones.

nonetheless, this made me laugh, twostar's one was my favorits... ha ha, so true.

you guys keep doin it, it makes me laugh every time. i just love random i guess.

who cares if it takes a day, it's silly and funny most of the time, plus, who could hate such randomness?

great work, i hope to see much more.

[DucktaleZ 3]

wonderful

for some reason, i always found these highly amusing, and absolutly great. the humor and timing are great, and this should be a higher score than is. the simple and complex mix of art and animation and conflicting styles are great.

excellent work, cracks me up all the time.

5/5

[Miss.Dynamite XVII]

Not bad.

yea, longer stuff is hard to make, but that's the sacrafice for a higher score in my book.

well made for the most part, the graphics were solid, and only a few staticy voices. overall, i thought the end was the funniest. ha ha, good stuff.

the animation probably hurt this the most for me because it was kinda cheap with the unbuttoning and use of tweens.

the music worked enough and the background art, concept (the end still best) worked well.

welcome back to the scene and keep em coming. i'd like a little more fbf, but that's your call.

3.90/5

Sirkowski responds:

I'll take a lower score in exchange of less work anytime.
But thanks. =)

[Schiavo's Secret]

haha.

well, you're a rotten bastard for portraying it in this way, but i have to admit, it had me laughing pretty hard.

when all it good fun, this was a neat little piece and effective use of sound.
i can't give too high because it's just plain wrong in some ways... but! the art was decent and everything was alright.

a little cheap on some animation, like the nurses and doctors running away.

reminded me exactly of that frog from looney toons, which was no doubt the inspiration.

not bad.

3.55/5

[Madness Depredation]

really good.

such a very surreal episode.

i think it's no coincidence that jesus should die on good friday either, eh?

great animation, cool looking graphics, and just a neat twist.

again, this is much more surreal and different from your usual work, but it's just too damn smooth.

good work.

4 out of 5.
