TESM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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. =)

[Papalote++]

Not bad.

The animation was solid, and the camera angles looked great. I wasn't very impressed by the backgrounds because many of them looked too quick and sloppy in spots.

the music was well picked and the looks of the characters was all right, although sometimes you simplified animations too much with some far-shots with the camera.

i liked the feel and pace of it, and the dragon-something that he flew into was a nice touch.

overall, i like it, although i'd like to see you improve with a 2 color shading style and perhaps some more detailed backdrops.

good work, but can be betterm although i always appreciate the time and effort fbf takes.

a 4 out of 5

thanks for the feedback (8

[The Performance Artist]

funny...

Although a littl emore time on the graphics could have made this even better, this was a sarcastic and funny piece of work. the animation was smooth enough, but like i said, generic graphics in some spots hurt it. The joke at the end, well hidden, was excellent and well placed. not too many people got that probably, but it seems you don't like performance art (good).

ha, in the end, i do art too, and i thought this was pretty funny, but could be better in the graphics (and some in the sound) department.

good work.

Topdrawer responds:

Thanks, but what do you mean by "generic graphics"? Every last frame in this movie was drawn by hand including the bitmap background of the opening scene. I had no idea I was making generic graphics.

[The Truth About NG]

i liked it

there was no real point to the movie, which is understandable, but i liked it.

i always appreciated the music done by mazedude, the wolfenstein one was a neat touch.

in the end you can;'t really give criticism on how to get better or worse with these sort of prejects. it certantly doesn't take years to make, but it was presented well.
good work.

CountPoopoo responds:

Mazedude is awesome, thanks a lot for the review. I appreciate lower reviews as much as I appreciate 9s and 10s.

[Monkey-rific]

ha ha

You gave this entry a 3, raising its score to 2.25!
You're the saviour! You are one of a number of people who have helped keep this entry in the Portal!

Hm.. normally i'd blam this, but i would like to see more contetnt and original graphics, ok?
try and work with a concept and draw some stuff for urself. the music was cool, but hollow,

thank me, ur savior!

Kytempa responds:

omg! IS it relay you god? I have been waiting for this moment all my life! Can you tell me the meanin of life?

[Vince Trigger 2]

ah...

sorry big guy.. this just didn't connect with me. Overall, the story was kinda weak, and well, the animation was a bit slow. how the characters talked were ok, but it was sorta a hollow ring to it all... didn't quite connect with me.
The music was good, and overall, this wasn't bad, but with this larger flux of sprite movies, i can't help but be critical, sorry. I'm not all to fond of these hate stories going back and forth... yea.. they (shin (and moog)) suck.. ok. it doesn't mean too much to me.

not a bad movie.. but not my cup of tea. 3/5
i would improve on the animation and the text a bit... the voices were funny too... i would've liked to see em again.

Vinstigator responds:

Oh well, at least you liked the first one. But wait, I've just added voices! SO CHECK IT OUT!

[UR: Universal Rivalry]

hm...

Very good art and fbf except for a few anatomical errors on some legs in little clips... I think the file-size coulda been kept down with creative tweens on some of the still shots, and also, a little more fighting woulda caught my interest. It was good on most aspects except for the concept... which there was little to none of. I would suggest that you try and keep things a little more linear than this, but creativity is appreciated...
All that said and done, the music was cool and overall, it wasn't all that bad. hope to see some real animations outta you someday.
nice.
3/5

MonkeyClock responds:

This is about as animated as your ever going to get. Ever. A story has nothing to do with an animation. Idiot.
