SquidBonk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Terrorist Choreogrphy]

I'm so jaded. Fuck the government.

If you were serious about this, then this is for you. I can't say that some of those things wouldn't be funny to see. It's when you idiots take it to an art level, and try to preach it that it loses any appeal. It's amazing how far you brainless zombies like to go with your anarchy speeches. You tried to be artsy: It didn't work. You tried to be original. Guess what? it didn't work. Perhaps if the inane proposition of destroying what is everyday, was presented by some means that would be interesting, we'd at least have something that is appealing visually even though the content is shit. Somehow, lack of order and stability is deemed 'cool'. As corrupt as government or society is today; Without law, your mother's, mother's, mother would have been slaughtered or left to be eaten long before she could even begin to comprehend reproduction. (and I know that's called great grandmother, I was only trying to be "artsy", just like you.)

The only way you could have been anymore boring or cliche is to have scrawled anarchy signs all over the place.

All in all, judging purely as a flash movie, if you want to get more boring, you should use a Times New Roman font or something. At least, I think boring is what you were going for.

ZERO.

SCART responds:

This is your idea of "Artsy". ;-)

You really gotta get out more, and I've heard all this "blah blah stability only comes through corrupt capatilist government blahblah law and order" from my Grandpa, snore Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzz

I could make it more boring by adding your comments to it I suppose. You tried to come off like something other than a dull little conservative! Guess what? It didn't work . . .

. . . NEXT!

[Claveman Ep. 1/5]

WHY CAN'T I VOTE ABOVE 10!??!!!

Jeezuz dude. So good. Soooo damn good. Flawless work. You use tweening and frame by frame perfectly.

[As The World Ends...]

Had something then blew it away

This premise had potential. When you got to the "in a rowboat" area, I was getting really interested. I wanted to see which way you would take this. You could have had a focus on a personal struggle. You could have shown the struggle of the world and the alienation of that person in the rowboat. There were so many ways you could have taken this but you decided to go with aliens blowing up the planet and insinuating they were at war by looking up the definition on a grammatically incorrect computer.

"None or mass death is involved." How about saying "Death may or may not be involved." You could have also tried using an actual dictionary for the definition. That would have made this seem more believeable. I mean, a race of creatures with space travel looking up a definition of a word after they've blown up a planet? C'mon! At this point, you destroyed my interest because you went the easy route.

Wanion responds:

The aliens didn't blow up the world, if you noticed in the beginning the hand was white, not green... the aliens were ashamed of what happened and never knew of it before, thus looking up the world "war", and who gives a shit what the answer was for it.

[a 3d animated megaman]

practice up

Pretend the camera is as mobile as a camera in 2D and make your movies like that. Overuse of the camera totally destroys animation. Not to mention your geometry crashes like mad all over the place. Animation needs work too.

[Fighting Orbs]

Simple yet effective

The movement was clear and you gave little coloured circles individual personalities. That is a successful animation in my opinion. You did a great job.

[EgoCity Chap III]

Great effort, long time in the making shows.

You've put a great amount of time into this and that's awesome. I think your next step is to look into the basics of animation. Your sense of timing is really poor. It feels like you rushed through the whole thing. I know that's the last thing you want to hear on a review of a movie that you put 3 months of your life into but that's how I see it. Again, great effort. It doesn't hurt to make things short if it means better quality. Oh and one last thing in this if you plan to keep all the rest of your animations like this, you should look into getting a pause button as well, sometimes things happen that we have to do when watching these movies and we may miss crucial points.
Good luck

[Camp]

Great character and awesome animation

Your age at this time says you're 17. What is your background in animation? You have really fine tuned animation skills and you were making excellent shorts even back in 2002 with great skill. Do you have parents that animate or something like that?

EdSkudder responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. I'm actually self-taught. My mom has artistic inclinations, though, which helps.

[Zelda: Heroic Rage 5]

Good Effort, Practice pays off though

Your artwork could use an overhaul, man. I'm giving you a 5 for the pure effort and persistance you've been showing to make 5 of these. You have way too much detail inside your characters when you need to focus on the anatomy more than anything.
